    Does any supernatural god exist?

    By all means enjoy your beliefs, and the sense of superiority that they very clearly give you. Were I a betting man, I'd put up chunky bucks ─ on behalf of my heirs, of course ─ that after we respectively die, no one will be able to distinguish how dead you are from how dead I am. There is no...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    The awful truth is that endless lists of Bible quotes make my head hurt. I can only assume that you couldn’t find one you really like.

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    You really can't handle the awful truth can you, you just keep running but you will sash head on into it but it will be too late. John 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. Luke 18:7 And will not God give justice to his...

    Great! We don't need faith, don't need works, no judgement day either... ♫ Que sera, sera..♫

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    I'm not the one doing the wiggling here. Notice, first, how the word 'elect' (upper or lower case) is never used. Note, second, that no limit is placed on the number of those chosen. Note third how that's all in the past tense, has already happened before this was written. just as He chose us...

    Does any supernatural god exist?

    Allow me to put the matter to bed once and for all. Lets see you wiggle out of this one..... Romans 8:29-30 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called...

    Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

    This change was anticipated and is connected to the promise of the Spirit of Truth, which is a living spirit. Through the Spirit, the Father's house of many rooms is being occupied; Denominations. The promise of the spirit is what has moved Christianity over the centuries. It may be time to...

    Does The Bible Contain Errors And Contradictions

    According to the Bible, the Holy Spirit dwells within the people who believe in Jesus (Ephesians 1:13–14; 4:30), not only corroborating to them that they belong to God and are saved (Romans 8:15–17; 10:9–13; 1 Corinthians 12:13), but also endowing them with some spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians...

    God is not a man

    I believe you are in error making God two entities by saying He is God and another one called the Spirit. The truth is that the Spirit is God.

    What is your short story or one sentence, Why Do You love God?

    The verse you quoted before does not say the same... In other words salvation is a gift of God, if you have faith only (sola fide); works are not needed. This is contrary to the words of Jesus, James and Revelation, as I showed you in message #309

    What is your short story or one sentence, Why Do You love God?

    I believe all these words are important to know, The Bible explains that salvation is a free gift, faith or believing is necessary, and Jesus and the Apostle Paul both agree we must obey or observe all Jesus commands. 2 Timothy 3:15 and that from infancy you have known the holy writings, which...

    What is your short story or one sentence, Why Do You love God?

    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)...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    Yes, an Ark was built by Jesus, when He came the first time. But there is a Prophecy, that, when Christ comes again, He will make a new covenant, meaning, a new Ark: "This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "When I bring them back from captivity, the people in the land of...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    You're right but It has already happened. The warning was announced 2000 years ago: “Repent, for the kingdom of God has come near.” "Unless you repent, you too will all perish." And "the ark" was built: Mark 16 15 He said to them [the apostles], “Go into all the world and preach the gospel...

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    None of those verses say that Jesus is going to return to this earth. I can find similar verses where Baha'u'llah says that he is the one appointed by God to be judge.

    If Christ comes today, how do you know it is really Him?

    It's obviously Jesus. Ephesians 1 "... [God] worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places..." Acts 3 19 Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, 20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of...

    God is not a man

    Muffled, the Spirit of God dwells in those who truly believe in Him. It is His SPIRIT that dwells in such ones - not GOD Himself! God does not dwell in earthly bodies. But His SPIRIT can do so - which is how it came to dwell in Jesus Christ at his baptism at the river Jordan, and in the...

    Bible contradictions

    I'm sure there was some proto-trinitarianism in the mix, but there would have been a diversity of beliefs in the early Church that isn't reflected in the modern Catholic Church. I mean, most things that are considered "heresies" now were just part of the spectrum of Christian belief until...

    Bible contradictions

    About the early Catholic Church. Have you read 1 Clement, written in 95 AD? Pretty clear to me the Bishop of Rome telling the church in Corinth, and repeating standard Catholic belief after Catholic belief, shows that the early Catholic Church existed. The earliest creed is found in Paul 1...

    The Question Islam and Christianity Can't Answer

    Yes, you can find scripture that will support your belief yet the interpretation may be wrong... For an example: Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and...
