    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    There is no point for you to write the whole story from Acts here. I have read it a few times. The people in Asia who abandoned Paul were of course Christians because deserting him implies that they were once loyal and friendly to him and had some kind of relationship with Paul. Therefore this...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    1. The apostle "Luke" tells us in the book of Acts (Luke wrote Acts), that Paul was rejected by the local town silver smith rustling up a riot to attempt to support his business in making idols for worship of pagan Gods (specifically Artemis) then later by the local Jews during his second visit...

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

    First, that makes no claim of perfection, merely of utility. Second, it doesn't apply to the NT, which didn't exist at that time. It applies only to the Tanakh. And it seems relevant to point out that it doesn't form part of the Tanakh. I haven't encountered a claim by a Jewish friend or...

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

    2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, Obviously there would be exceptions but tell a religious Jewish person that their TaNaKh was not inspired by God… I’m not sure you would...

    Why Creation by an Omnipotent, Omniscient Deity Is Even More Improbable than Pure Chance

    Seems to me that Adam saw himself as more important than anything else in the universe (his universe Eden). In the Bible what Adam did was by Adam's deliberate choice. Fallen father Adam developed an ego. Thus, sinner Adam passed down to us his acquired fallen nature, but God has mercy on us as...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Your response here... Hi Brian, nice to see you again. According to the scripture, I believe Gods' people are in every Church (John 10:17) living up to all the knowledge that God has revealed to them from His Word. The problem is not all the Church's are following God and His Word but have been...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    I am no less a Christian than you and if you think that you have to keep the Sabbath to be a Christian then that might mean that you are making your salvation through works of the law. Jesus was a Jew who kept the Sabbath. The early Church were Jews and kept the Sabbath. The later Church became...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Sure I provided scripture showing Christians are to keep the Sabbath. Just like Christians are not to lie, steal or murder. Jesus and the Apostles all kept the Sabbath as did the early Church. It is you that cannot show me a single scripture in all the bible that says Gods' 4th commandment which...

    Spiritual Death

    2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation...

    Jesus Said "It Is Finished"

    Here is a couple of other verses that I think would be relevant. Titus 1:2-3, 2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God...

    Jesus Said "It Is Finished"

    How do you take Romans 4:17 and Ephesians 1:4? Do they have any bearing on what we are discussing? Take care.

    Jesus Said "It Is Finished"

    That's theorizing, and you can't (accurately) build a doctrine on theorizing. You need an explicit verse to conform that. And then there are verses like 1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a CHOSEN RACE, A royal priesthood, A holy NATION, a PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the...

    How Can the Fact and Theory of Evolution be Reconciled with the View that Jesus is Christ

    No it doesn't, the verse you cite does not actually say this either. Christ referred to human flesh as "weak" (i.e. "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak"). Weakness does not equal inherently bad/totally corrupt. Ludwig Ott wrote, concerning the Fall, in his Fundamentals of Catholic...

    How Can the Fact and Theory of Evolution be Reconciled with the View that Jesus is Christ

    The bible defintely teaches human nature is bad. See Ephesians 2:3 among many others

    sin in the flesh

    That's the spirit! I wish someone here would, but no one seems to even want to try. The Bible nowhere, nor at any time, presents lust in a positive way. Every kind of lust is sin. The Bible encourages us to control the desires of the eyes, and flesh, which does not originate with God... and is...

    Question about something that is bothering me.

    James 4:7 says "resist THE DEVIL...." it does NOT say "resist the demons..." Can THE DEVIL be in two places at once? He can if he resides in all of us. The devil is simply a personification of the lust of the flesh. For example, Paul says, "walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the...

    The need for Christ to die makes sense, and it doesn't

    Acknowledged the spiritual implications acknowledged in my references, but Biblically based on very real physical events, such as the Fall and Original Sin, which described in my references, and the very real physical event of sacrifice by the crucifiction of Jesus Christ.

    Original Sin

    The issue with "corrupt nature" is that not everyone's nature is "corrupt" or "corrupted" in the same absolutist way that the use of this phrase suggests. The phrase is too absolutist and dogmatic. A "lust" may be said to arise from the flesh, but not everyone will harbour the same lusts. Some...
