    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    Of course, pretty much nothing was capitalized. It didn’t have commas or periods. As noted in other scriptures… it is a person. That isn’t quite true… There was a place called Paradise or Abrahams Bosom that held the righteous until Heaven was opened to them (at the resurrection). Hebrews...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    In the Greek Interlinear I find the word spirit is in lower-case letters at John 3:5. KJV took the liberty to use a capital "S". So, when Jesus was baptized - Luke 3:22 - God's spirit was in bodily shape as a 'bird' aka a 'dove'. see also Mark 1:10. God's spirit is described as a 'gift ' (Not a...

    Christians- How do you know Jesus and the Bible are true?

    The thing is your leaned about Jesus and accepted Him from reading the Bible and listening to sermons etc. That’s fine. But anyone who refuses to even look or ponder Jesus teachings will never come to know He is the Saviour. So the Jews only read their own scriptures and listen to their own...

    Christians- How do you know Jesus and the Bible are true?

    If the Baha'is were going to make anyone the "Lamb", I would have thought it would have been Baha'u'llah. But, because it also uses "the Lamb that was slain", that gave the Baha'is the connection to the Bab. But then they had to find a reason why the Lamb that was slain was not Jesus. To that I...

    Christians- How do you know Jesus and the Bible are true?

    The Bab opened six of the 7 seals in Rev 6 and who opens the last seal in Rev 8. Salvation belongs to God and the Lamb. (Rev 7:10) The great multitude before the throne in Rev 7 have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb. (Rev 7:14) They stand before the throne of God and the Lamb is at...

    With bafflement upon bafflement!

    This is truly an awesome list. I have no idea what to say other than that. I've never encountered this before. I need to look at each one carefully. I will do that then respond. Thank you very very much. Sincerely,

    With bafflement upon bafflement!

    From my perspective, an honest person would admit to numerous Tanakh prophecies all being fulfilled in the life of Jesus Christ. And, this is discounting His second coming in glory. Can you honestly say that all these prophecies were not fulfilled by Jesus, as recorded in the NT? Prophecies of...

    Atheists - A Question...

    Well nowhere in Genesis does it say Adam was deceived, so dismissing the Greek text that agrees with the Hebrew text is parallel to not using either. In that case, you are using your own story... one you made up, in order to argue against. Oh. You understand it to mean something they never...

    cause-and-effect: "cause" require evidence too

    The fundamental position held by humanists is that prophecy does not happen. As l see it, every word recorded by the prophets is inspired scripture. I could not have written any of it because one prophet's writing has to fit with all the other prophet's writings. There is no comparison here to...

    Are you a liar?

    I disagree with your comments about biblical prophecy. Unlike scientific predictions, which are based on observations and trends, biblical prophecy, particularly regarding the coming Messiah, is very detailed and impossible to predict. The prophecies I've listed below refer only to the 'first'...

    St. Paul on Same Sex Marriage.

    Ok - so you don't interpret it literally - but the comment about there being no male or female in Christ - that should be interpreted literally? Why the difference?

    St. Paul on Same Sex Marriage.

    3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated...

    Paul - An Apostle?

    So Paul's and Peter's commission to be apostles was granted by God, or so Paul claims.

    Miserable and seeking

    So are you chalking these verses up to falsehoods or extra stuff put in to discredit Yahweh? I'd gladly cross them out of my Bible.

    “Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens in Christ. For he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in love before him. He predestined us to be adopted as sons through Jesus...

    Bible Prophecy as Evidence of a bible writers trustworthiness

    The claim is yours not mine, I don't need to offer anything beyond disbelief. the present some objective evidence for this bare claim? That is just another subjective unevidenced claim. :rolleyes: What evidence? That is for you to demonstrate. Prophecies of the Suffering Servant that...

    Bible Prophecy as Evidence of a bible writers trustworthiness

    Ya know, being pregnant in Islam is a blessing, not a curse. Even if she were to die in labor, she is considered a martyr. In Islam, the more pain one has, the more his sins are erased. This is a mercy from Allah. You may see it as something horrible, but a mu'min (practicing believer)...

    Bible Prophecy as Evidence of a bible writers trustworthiness

    It's quite clear that you don't have anything to offer. The Bible offers us many passages of scripture that point to future times, and future fulfilment. Each prophecy, on its own, is like a jigsaw piece, and requires placing to produce a meaningful picture. One or two pieces placed together...

    How many can say...

    You totally misunderstand predestination. God doesn't predestine individuals, he chooses a plan that will include some individuals choosing him. Look up the arminian understanding of scripture.
