Genesis 1:
"And God said, 'Let the land produce living creature'."
Where does the Bible say that?
Are you sure that this is the best translation? As far as i know you are wrong here
Leviticus 19:
Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou...
Paul's Jesus has virtually no earthly history, except that he was born of parents descended from David and died by crucifixion, and appeared to 500 of the faithful after his death. (If I've omitted any details here, I doubt they were reports of Jesus' bad form.)
The three synoptic versions of...
It doesn't say anything about him being in a fit of rage. That might be how people often picture it, but I don't see any reason in the text to think that he was in a fit of rage.
There are a few passages in the Bible that claim Jesus was sinless, including 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 2:22; and 1 John 3:5. However, the scriptures about his bad reaction to the money changers in the temple (Matthew 21:12–13; Mark 11:15–17; and John 2:13–16) plainly illustrate...
Galatians5:3
And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.
Romans 2:17
But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely upon the Law and boast in God,
Romans 3:19
Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under...
Please read all that I posted.. (Deut.’; Jeremiah;)

Acts 16:3
Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
Yes, in reference to salvation, it isn’t the circumcision of the foreskin that avails but rather the circumcision of the heart as it said in Deut and Jeremiah.
However:
Acts 16:3
Paul wanted to have him go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that...
1 Corinthians 7:19
Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.
Galatians5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.
Galatians 6:15
Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything;
Galatians5:2-6
2 Now I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no advantage to you. 3 I testify again to every man who receives circumcision that he is bound to keep the whole law. 4 You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have...
I will simply answer the theological challenge above in this post...as its very clear that you do not understand the theology of Salvation by Grace through Faith.
The "dilemma of faith and works"
I am an SDA and our denomination believes that the debate about faith and works rages because a...
I am not saying that I haven't encountered any rude Christians on this forum, only not many lately. There was one but that person seems to have left.
Although this is not true for all Christians, the rudeness usually starts as soon as they find out that I am a Baha'i, not a Christian...
Not in my experience on this forum. In general, atheists and pagans are more rational and respectful than most Christians I've interacted with on RF. I've been on this forum for two and a half years, and I've rarely had an atheist or pagan resort to calling me disparaging names or posting false...
Very clear… you work to "obey” to receive the Holy Spirit - a clear violation of Galatians 3. Gal 3 say “believe” - and not by works
Again… believe “yes” - you could use “obey in receiving the gift of Jesus” and then work out your salvation - believe first and then work and not work first and...
Now Kenny, did you even read my last post to you and the scriptures provided in them? No I do not receive Gods grace by the works of the law so why did you even post it? I received Gods Spirit because I believe Gods Word and have repented of my sins and believe and obey what His Word says which...
Responded with.
Then you say this...
You asked me if I have received the Holy Spirit. Tell me friend what is it that I posted in my response to you above that makes you think I am in a perilous position and why would you post scripture that has absolutely nothing to do with what we are talking...
Gal 3 You foolish Galatians! Who has cast a spell on you? Before your eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified! 2 The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard? 3 Are you so foolish? Although...
