The New Testament witness of Christ reaches out to non-believers. It is only harsh and judgmental on those who claim to be believers and dispute Christ's witness and the word of God. ie 1 Cor 5, Matt 8, 23, Romans 1-2 The problem for the church in the west is that is has assumed secular...

There is no such thing as asexual as far as God is concerned. The varying dictionary definitions dont help because 'asexual' is a confused and misleading term. In the past sex=male and female by anatomy and gender=linguistic masculine and feminine. Sexual orientation is not a concept in God's...

Beware. Look at all the Christians (and indeed Muslims and Jews) in the media such as the BBC. Look at the guest vicars on topical programs. They all support homosexual practice. Whilst the Bible is clear, God created man and woman to be in union and same sex acts are error and sin, the media...

Those words are what they say. Jesus said He was the way the truth and the life and its implicit in the 'me' in "no man comes to the Father but by me" Remember Jesus is the word, the Holy Spirit is the spirit. Water is H20 but its not steam or ice which is also H20

No that is not entirely right. One cant see we see dimly and then dispute what Christ says. Jesus Christ is the truth, 'I am the truth, the way and the life' Yes 1 Cor 12:14, but also Col 1:7 "To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles theglorious riches of this mystery, which is...

Jesus basically did say that He is God, but not with the phrase "I am God". For example He did say "before Abraham was born, I AM", He acknowledged Peter who professed He is the Son of the Living God, and He said the "Father and I are one" and "if you have seen me you have seen the Father "...

The point is not who gave the law, but there is no contradiction. Your propositions have made one for yourself. Jesus fulfills the OT law and prophets. Nor is it about church history, Christianity is based on the whole Bible, the whole New Testament is the witness of Christ. Any suggestion that...

There is no contradiction. You have made one for yourself. Jesus fulfills the OT law and prophets, if you wish to stick with 1 Samuel then thats also ok if you wish to continue under law. Christianity is based on the whole Bible, the NT is the witness of Christ. You are not upholding Christ but...

Let us not forget the significance of Pilate's statement "What is truth" standing toe to toe with the truth the way and the life. When Peter proclaims Jesus as the Son of the living God, Jesus says blessed was Peter for it was not revealed to him by men but by the Father.

The Paul isnt Jesus heresy is a big liberal one. Its born from the equality feelings secular liberalism, dominated by sex. There is no equality in heaven, many will have a greater reward than me.

Very good response by skyangel.... "I doubt Paul is referring to a literal sword. Look at Eph 6:17 and Hebrews 4:12 and you might understand it is referring to the sword of the spirit which is the word of God. " One needs to know the Bible holistically or one can easily set up contradictions...

Hang on, you haven't addressed the point at all. People who followed Jesus and His gospel included Peter, who endorses Paul, and eventually Paul himself. Any heresy is yours, the teachings of Christ as you were shown are not just in the Gospels, the Nicene Creed, a very basic statement has...

The Bible is not put together by men alone, but by the Holy Spirit guiding men. Paul's epistles are endorsed by one of the gospel writers and Peter. Take for example "31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh" Jesus...

Sin is falling short of God's purposes, its not just a bad heart and bad actions to others, but a bad heart and actions to God as well.

Pro-Jesus Anti Paul? oxymoron. Jesus didnt write any of the New Testament, Paul wrote a number of epistles some even before the gospels were written. One of the gospel writers Luke, endorses Paul, as does Peter.
