You are beyond wrong! Christians are in Christ, who is 100% divine. By extension, therefore, all Christians have Divine Life.
Here is what Paul, the converted Jew wrote, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by...
This statement is in direct opposition to God's Word! If your claim is that Jesus Christ is no longer the Name above All names. Then you are still in your sins. You cannot claim to have any part of God and reject Jesus Christ ( AND HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST)
Acts 4:11-12
This Jesus is ‘the...
Well all this reveals is that you have never read the Epistles. And your made up versions of history are always wrong. But keep avoiding scholarship, planned obselescence is clearly the way to go. Not. Paul and early Christians had been exposed to Hellenism and were creating a Jewish version...
Paul and Mark are not independent. There are dozens of examples of Mark's use of the Epistles. A few are here.
The principal works to consult on this (all of which from peer reviewed academic presses) are:
Michael Bird & Joel Willitts, Paul and the Gospels: Christologies, Conflicts and...
Yes, Jesus lives in my heart. The idea of Christ indwelling those who have placed their faith in Him and belong to Him is a biblical truth and reality…
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he...
That is not talking about having correct doctrinal beliefs about God. That's talking about faith in God. People can have faith in God, while having different beliefs about God from one another, and all be considered people of faith. No? If you think not, than can you produce any scripture that...
Of course. Lots. Hebrews 12:2 - Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
What version of God does this indicate saves me?
Only faith in Jesus...
Paul claimed he had visions and revelations. We have incredibly good evidence that Mark used the Epistles when creating his narrative so he included Earthly versions of them.
This in no way means they are true.
a few examples
Paradigmatic Example: The Last Supper
Another example is “the last...
Good example. Mark took this and made it into an Earthly event. We see how this fiction was created.
The text in Paul, as translated from Greek by Dr Carrier
"For I received from the Lord what I also handed over to you, that the Lord Jesus, during the night he was handed over, took bread, and...
Like I posted already on when and how the Church began in Acts, Paul who considered himself the least of the Apostles and was a great man of God, wasn’t even a believer yet. Paul says he was crucified with Christ It’s no longer I that lives but Christ in me.
You’re badly mistaken and encourage...
Jesus taught and shows us how to pray
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:7-8 NIV

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...
You have no idea what you are talking about.
You are trying to quote Paul out of context.
Paul wrote to the saints in Galatia because they had begun to apostatize from the truth. He said after the introduction in his epistle,
"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into...
HA, you just posted a quote saying that the gospels are not independent which backs up my point that the other gospels are copies of Mark? Then it goes on to say MOST NT SCHOLARS ARGUE FOR MORE??? Which means they believe they were ALL copied from Mark.
This is the conclusion of Richard Carrier...
Indeed! You have just unintentionally described the Gospel message. That’s why the Bible says we become new creations in Christ.
That’s why it says with man this thing is impossible but with God all things are possible.
That’s why is says God will give us a new heart.
That’s why baptism is a...
Good question; He paid for the sin that happened at the fall of mankind; that broken relationship between God and man; when Adam and eve had been led out the Garden. He came to restore that; by and through his death on the cross, and resurrection. I believe.
So that now Jesus Christ is the...
