The original "oral tradition" by Jesus and Apostles is very good. I agree with most everyone! :)
2 Thessalonians 2:15 So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by our spoken word or by our letter.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you...
The arrogant deniers know it's the truth to even come to denial. I've never run from this stuff. It wouldn't be free will if they had no choice.
Are you saying the arrogant have no choice in the matter of their own souls?
John 16: 4-11
“ I did not tell you these things at first, because I...
Well if you are going to say what's in the Bible, you can't be picky. Otherwise, you misrepresent the truth, and don't show interest in truth.
Hopefully the latter is not the case.
(Romans 1:18-23)
18 For God’s wrath is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of...
Again, as if all people in all the different religions believe the same thing. Here's what one Christian organization believes in. It contradicts Islam and the Baha'i Faith. They think they are close to God. What do you think? Are they, or are they spiritually dead and blind? And the same...
I would say ‘serve the word’ is very different to ‘receive the Word’
Receiving the Word is put simply in 1Thessalonians2:13 :
“For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it...
Yes.
Oops.
True, there were no Christians before the Hebrew Bible Canon was completed, but Christians in the first century A.D. didn't need more than that, since they had Jesus' teachings, through the apostles, and the only needed to use the Hebrew scriptures to prove that Jesus was the...
If you don’t know what differentiates the Bible from other religious scriptures then you haven’t done much, if any, research on the subject.
The biblical scriptures are unique and totally unlike any other religious scriptures.
God used primarily eye-witnesses to historical events recorded in...
I don't believe I need to quote all the texts in the Bible that says they wrote God's words, because I think you either know them, or know of them.
One who sees the evidence for God, only need to do one thing - examine the texts to see if they are true.
Like the Beroeans. Acts 17:11
For...
Those who worship God the right way:
1. Believe and teach only what is in the Bible. (1Thessalonians2:13) (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
2. Worship only Jehovah and use his name and teach others his name. (Matthew 4:10) (John 17:6)
3.Show true love for one another. (John 13:35)
4.Obey Jesus and believe...
I value the Bible because it is the most helpful book in theworld. The advice from the Bible has always helped people. Those who carefully follow it will be happy and do well in life. (Psalm 1:1-3.) True Christians have always accepted the Bible, “not as the word of men, but, just as it...
Many people are told that we can’t be sure who wrote the Bible. But the Bible is often clear about who penned its contents. Some parts begin with such phrases as “the words of Nehemiah,” “the vision of Isaiah,” and “the word of Jehovah that occurred to Joel.”—Nehemiah 1:1; Isaiah 1:1; Joel 1:1...
Unfortunately for you, "chugh" wasn't used to mean sphere anywhere in the bible.
The Circle of the Earth: Translation and Meaning in Isaiah 40:22
But what's more important is, anyone who knows that the object is a sphere, knows that no matter what angle you're looking from, that object...
I not believe that the Bible was 'authored' by God. I believe that it was authored by men inspired by the Holy Spirit.
Perhaps these prophets has visions that had accurate information in them but the earth is not a circle, it is a globe. The Bible did not reveal scientific facts as we know...
The Bible is different from any other book in that it's Author is God. (1Thessalonians2:13) (2 Peter 1:21) The result is a book that is accurate.
For example, the Bible is not a science book and yet it accurately revealed that the earth hangs on nothing. (Job 26:7) When most people believed...
We are never instructed to pray to Jesus at all, only to Jehovah "through" Jesus Christ.....and as I have never encountered any who espoused the tenets of Eckankar, I can't tell you. Gnosticism was around when Jesus walked the earth...he never mentioned it as being very important.
People are...
“And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.”
1Thessalonians 2:13 NIV
More like trying to kill a mosquito. You need one accurate hit otherwise it will fly away and come back to bite you. So you rather let it settle and feel comfortable in one place and then strike.
I just looked at that thread. It seems like there are too many points being made which will cause...
If one reads the Bible as one story with one author and with one purpose, the difference between the illustrations used by Jesus and factual accounts becomes obvious. Does it require faith to believe that? Of course it does. Without faith, no one can believe anything....even unprovable...
