Again my assumptions are irrelevant. But the Scriptures that say.......
John 1:29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
Galatians1:4: The Lord Jesus Christ is the One “who gave Himself for our sins so that He...
He is the apostles of Gentiles. He is a saint and a great pillar of Christianity, together with Saint Peter.
But yes, his importance has been undoubtedly oversized.
The creation of New Testament was the most difficult task in early Christianity. There were countless Gospels. Countless. Tens and...
Wait, where did you get the "Paul doesn't think Jesus is God" from? The New Cambridge Companion to St. Paul has nothing about him believing this and he frequently mentions "our Lord Jesus Christ" or forms otherwise. Paul's Christology is is divine that scholars generally call it a high...
Paul's letters were, it appears, unknown in the general Christian community until followers of Marcion produced them in arguments in the mid second century. This has given rise to the question, are they forgeries, written later? One of the reasons I think they're most likely authentic is that no...
Hello Ken.
I absolutely do love Leviticus and Deuteronomy.....
I have read that the author/s of G-John lived on Patmos, an isle just off the Ephesian Coast.
Me too..... I have to review the gospels all the time.
By the way, I still discover angles and factors in them that stop me dead...
LOL... maybe "we" those who have studied? OK, so I have to take my foot out of my mouth.
:rolleyes:
But i would still defend Leviticus as I do with John :cool:
Maybe one in the same? Unless there are two of them.
Historians say it was written in Ephesus. What does the Penal settlement...
What mind reading powers do you have to know that Jesus never gave us the opportunity to doubt the doubters by taking them up on a challenge that would have been allegedly easy for Him.
The scriptures also say... And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that no matter what we ask...
What mind reading powers do you have to know that they were not prepared to believe had they been given an authentic miracle? Jesus never gave us the opportunity to doubt the doubters by taking them up on a challenge that would have been allegedly easy for Him. If Jesus simply used unknown laws...
Nice try at yet another cop-out. Your argument about Lot has been demolished. Repeatedly. By several members.
Furthermore, that bastion of all things Christian, AnswersInGenesis, also agrees that God accepted and approved of Lot's doings.
Yet even in all of this, God was faithful and did...
Exodus 7:1 “And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.”
The state of the captivity of the people had reached that comparable to their captivity to Egypt once again. The people were skinned and tossed about like sheep...
I checked all this out in detail about 25 years ago, and it is bogus. Verses are cherry-picked from the Tanakh and put into a clearly incorrect context if one checks on these one by one.
I taught Christian theology for 14 years, but something I read challenged that, so I studied for...
I would like to take the time to go through the book of Galatians, chapter by chapter. Many people have been telling me that Paul is misunderstood and taken out of context, so I would like this to be as transparent as it can be. I am willing to hear anyones opinions on the text and I will also...
This is incorrect. This is known to be Judah Israel, and if you read it from Isa 1:1 you will understand that.
Isa 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Note it concerns only...
1. Ok nor did I say you did. I was simply reminding you that by Dharmic I was referring to 4 religions.
2. 300 million gods is a fact from where? Can you show me where this "fact" comes from?
3. Why don't you quote from an actual Hindu website about Hindu topics? As I said earlier the Caste...
Your claim was far broader than that. You said you could not believe the Bible (or the afterlife) unless science proved its claims. I was simply saying that to be consistent you would have to abandon many things you do already believe that are not scientific. I was pointing out inconsistency...
I will say that the Catholic Church seems to have been in a bad way ever since Vatican II, spiritually-speaking. I can sympathize with what you've said in that sense.
Yes, without a clear focus within Christian mysticism, it is easy to fall into delusion, and lose sight of "Not I, but the grace...
Thank you for your thoughts, the medical analogy and the link.
I was not saved at baptism, but I was saved later and now know I have eternal life (John 10:29; 1 John 5:13). I will stand before the judgment seat of Christ for the things I have done in this life to receive rewards or not...
Jesus certainly believed this to be possible
Matthew 20:28 "Just as the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many.
And this is what the Apostles of Christ taught.
1 Timothy 2:3 This is fine and acceptable in the sight of our...
