In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; --Ephesians 1:7 King James Bible
Why Did Jesus Die?
The Bible’s answer
Jesus died so that humans could have their sins forgiven and receive endless life. (Romans 6:23; Ephesians 1:7)...
Now all face death. By natural or unnatural forces, like humans inventing nuclear weapons, destroying the atmosphere, evolution for you and there isn't anything you or science can do to stop it. Now when I see birds or beautiful sights I think of God. And think of Him. I did not always.
Romans...
I think this is an issue that can be troubling for many who feel very strongly about substitution. Its what they've heard all their lives, and I don't think its an issue that can be forced or announced from towers. Consider the passage in Romans5 "Christ died for the ungodly," "Christ died...
Because we are physically human and Jesus was paying the death penalty for all humanity and offers new-eternal life.
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world...
Taken symbolically, which is where I think Paul was coming from, it makes sense. Nor do accept the millennial reign as being literal but is likely symbolic of the Church remaining intact until the end-of-time, and we know this is the way the early Church saw this since there's no other...
Right, human sacrifice was Not allowed by God as we can read at Jeremiah 32:35 B.
The people were Not to sacrifice their children - Ezekiel 23:37 - and as food for their idols to devour.
Not to burn their children in fire - 2nd Chronicles 28:3 as Ahaz did.
What Jesus willingly sacrificed was...
Is ‘WISDOM’ a Person… it’s depicted as a FEMALE (She / Her)?
You are in fear at seeing the truth that the SPIRIT OF GOD is JUST THAT: ‘The spirit of the Father’.
When I show you those proofs you simply ignore them - cannot even respond to WHY you don’t believe them… but it’s obvious why you...
Greetings fellow members,
It looks like my opponent may be away for awhile, so i thought i would take the time to expound on some Christian doctrine. My hope is that he will return soon and we can continue...
If you don't understand the Bible then there is nothing to discuss.
"“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me." John 15:26
Acts 5:32, "We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy...
Matthew 20:28 - "even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many."
(The greatest gift anyone could ever give.)
I love God because He loved me first and demonstrated His love in a tangible way by paying the price for my sins.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us...
My sincere apologies Harel,
I think i mentioned my unfamiliarity with a forum platform, this is my first time for all this. I thought my message response was private and did not intend for it to show up as a post.
Regarding the concept of original sin, i am in full agreement with the Jewish...
Because with such an attitude you will never learn from your mistakes. And we all make them. I do believe that even the Bible warns you about that sort of pride meaning that you are not following your own holy book. I could look it up, but as you know there are many that the Bible...
Why would I, as a Christian, give up that "all-knowing" attitude? I know God and God knows me! I could not possibly say that before I became a Christian! If others don't accept that as fact, that is of no concern to me.
If someone says that I have guesses about "gods [sic] facts and...
It has been a number of days. I thought perhaps my opponent had some issues and could not respond. However i see he has been to the forum a number of times, i must assume he does not want to answer the question, so i will answer it for him.
Back in the mid 1980s when i was a young Christian...
To the Christian, salvation is a personal experience with the understanding that we are saved from the wrath of God; (Romans5:9) We also believe that all of Israel will be saved (Romans 11:26). I take this to be in reference to (Psalm 14:7). How do you view salvation? Can Judaism bring this...
Odd confusing response. The majority if not all Church Fathers believed in a literal Pentateuch, but allowed allegorical interpretations also. Augustine believe in a version of literal Genesis including Adam and Eve, but believed the initial Creation was instantaneous. You cannot appeal to...
Hi again. Here is something that is encouraging --
"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth...
