Mathew 1
23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
1 John 4
10He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath...
The Bible ascribes deity to all three persons yet declares there is but one God. We baptize in the NAME (singular) of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. (Matt. 28:19) The three-in-one and one-in-three, and the one in the middle died for me! Oh blessed Trinity.
Romans 3
10As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
2 Timothy 3
14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

Luke 18:31-33
31Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated...
Jer. 17:9
9The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Romans 2
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law...
That's right. It may be hard to understand the consequences of sin, although the Bible says the wages of sin is death, hence the fall, hence suffering, disease, etc. This is just a spiritual law, like gravity is a physical law, it won't be suspended for you if you fall off a cliff. I would...
That is between you and the Lord. The Bible does not say to be saved one must "completely give themself over to his will." The Bible says to be saved one must believe in Jesus. Trust him that his death paid for ALL their sins and are now forgiven and have his righteousness imputed to them in...
That is between you and the Lord. I believe salvation is like the person who jumps out of the burning building trusting in the net to save them. The moment they jumped, they were saved, no need to repeat it. I got saved at the age of 8 and am just as saved now at 42 as I was then and everyday in...
That is between you and the Lord. The BIble does not say to be saved we "give ouself over to his will", it says to be saved we believe in Jesus. We trust him that his death paid for ALL our sins and are now forgiven and have his righteousness imputed to us in place of our own. I believe...
Jesus knew it to be true, and according to the Bible he was there for the creation, the world was created by him and for him, and he gave Adam and Eve as an example of the institution of marriage, and his lineage is traced back to Adam in the NT. I believe the whole Bible is the Word of God who...
True. One I was younger I questioned many things about God and found satisfactory answers to a lot of my questions. There are still things we humans may not fully understand but I have found the Lord to be good and gracious and fair and I trust him in all things. As James says:
James 1:17...
I think I said folks can go ahead and knock themselves out if that's what they want. I even wished them good luck, even if I believe some behaviour is what the Bible calls sin.
My foundation is the Word of God and althoug it is obscure and obsolete, its still standing in a few places. I just know Jesus loves this poor old sinner and he is my firm foundation.
