Was Jesus orthodox? Or did he operate outside the realm of the orthodoxy of his day? Was he a heretic by their standards? Perhaps being heterodox is WAY underrated. Do we worship the status quo? Acts 24:5 For we have found this man to be a troublemaker, one who stirs up riots among all the...

I must have missed the specifics on this, but your post seems pretty heavy-handed. ] cc: @Hillsage

Agree. - LOL Tell me why you understand that, thanks. Welcome to the forum. ]

I love that story. Especially the statement... (from memory) "Our God is able to save us, but even if he doesn't, we will not not bow..." I wonder about some of these characters in the Bible that, though doing evil deeds, helped fulfill the plans of God. These soldiers (although they were...

I was say the nature of the fire is from everlasting. The purpose of the fire is restoration. Every knee... every tongue... Jesus is Lord... Malachi 3:2 NIV But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner’s fire or a launderer’s soap. ]

Who was the God of the religious leaders in Jesus day? He said their father was the devil. '

Good post. thanks. If we are sensitive to God's leading we will know when to. Agree. ]

I thought Jesus was at the right hand? Who's left? ]

The God of the religious leaders in Jesus day. Yahweh. = teaching of the Bible Who Jesus said the father of the religious leaders was. The devil. = teaching of the Bible ]

I'm familiar with the "divide and conquer" strategy. /

Seems to be a circular argument/discussion we are in. (again) You should be able to predict what I will write next. Did you guess? There is no consensus on what the Bible means. ]

How will you harmonize what the Bible teaches about Universalism then? Acts 3:21 NIV Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. 1 John 2:2 NIV He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours...

St. SteVen said: My view is that the Baptism with the Holy Spirit is a subsequent event to a renewed relationship with God. Like the outpouring in the second chapter of Acts. They already had the renewed relationship with God. Sorry for the delayed response. Your post #5. Based on your...

I think you just told us. (the WHT owner) Who was the God of the religious leaders in Jesus day? Yahweh? Who did Jesus say the father of the religious leaders was? The devil? I understand that this sounds blasphemous... But how do you explain what Jesus said about the God of the religious...

So, unitarian doctrine is infallible? All three doctrines of the final judgment are biblical and in conflict with each other. You are limiting what the whole Bible says when you refer to what Jesus taught. Do the writings of the Apostles have no value to you? 1 John 4:14 NIV And we have...

Based on a single verse? Is your biblical understanding infallible? It's not a new concept. It was a dominant doctrine in the early church in the east. (Orthodoxy) "The Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge" by Schaff-Herzog, 1908, volume 12, page 96 German theologian- Philip Schaff, Editor...

Great post, thanks! What do you make of this? John 6:44 NIV “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. ]

"Few there be that find it..." Is this God making sport with our souls? A cruel high-stakes puzzle? You seem to misunderstand “unity in diversity”. ]

"Man chooses that which is according to his nature, and therefore before he will ever choose or prefer that which is divine and spiritual, a new nature must be imparted to him; in other words, he must be born again. Let me appeal to the actual experience of the reader of these lines. Was...

Not sure that's fair. ??? I'm certainly not a one-trick pony. Below is a list of recent activity on my topics. (from page one of Find Threads) Subjects range from Doctrine to LGBTQ to Eternal Security to Where the Bible Came From to Religious Upbringing to Apokatastasis to Prophetic Ministry...
