I'm very cautious about arguments from providence. There is a sloppy appearing grand design, a method to the madness, but not to say that people are all intended to be or stay where they are at, as divine providence. Stepping stones gospel, an evolutionary walk. God may even move us to be lost...

Ehh, which things? All of it? 1 John 5:7 known as the Comma Johanneum, "Today no Greek manuscript dating from before the sixteenth century is known to contain the comma Johanneum." (Roger Aubrey Baskerville Mynors, et al, "The Correspondence of Erasmus", Toronto, CA: University of Toronto...

Yet, it is never called a parable. Though that is a common excuse given for those who refuse to glean their beliefs about the spiritual world from the Bible instead of modern tradition. There are several characteristics that are not like a Parable; firstly, unlike any other parables, one of the...

Spamming makes you seem more annoying than intelligent. This isn't what debating is, because its irrelevant to what anyone said.

Luckily Longinus put Jesus out of his misery with his spear, a mercy many of the other crucified Christians didn't receive.

As a JW, they teach a variant of the Soul Sleeps Doctrine. JWs are just as Sola Scriptura as any, so they ignore Jewish sources that are soundly against that idea. And pick and choose what to take literal, like "sleep" and what not to take literal like, the "Lazarus and the richman" background...

Technically a resurrection presupposes a death. Jesus' spirit separated from his body to preach in Sheol, the land of the dead, during his 3 days "dead", also which supposes his body was without his spirit, that is what death is. If you dispute that is the death of God because his spirit is...

Parts. It's very apparent for example, the Comma Johanneum was added by the Catholic church to support the Trinity Doctrine against the Gnostics. If you believe the whole Bible, I'll contend you don't. The Bible has more than a few concepts and books referenced and promoted in the Bible that...

Deuteronomy could be propaganda by xenophobic Levitical scribes ("Deuteronomists"), using true segments by Moses, but compiled during the reign of King Manasseh and planted in the temple to dupe young boy King Josiah to begin a xenophobic regime, an anti-Melchizedek, anti-temple, anti-prophesy...

The Seventh day, was when Adam was to do the works of God while God rested, so, a day to be remembered as the day God rested (Gen 2:2-3), there was no explicit command that it was a day for men to rest or worship until Moses comes with a new Law, which was a new Mosaic Covenant at Hareb. A...

The "Word of Wisdom" is a revised policy that specifically prohibits alcohol, tobacco, coffee (any "ccinos") and tea (camellia sinensis, most certainly black tea, if not also green and white tea), and illegal drugs (marijuana, etc) without a medical reason. It's based on an original revelation...

Not you personally, but do you still have the Comma Johanneum, a trinitarian prooftext added to the Bible? Do you not have the Book of Tobit, a book taken away from the Bible, which is in the Dead Sea Scrolls and referenced by Jesus as scripture? The original source is the very mouth of the...

You objected to the Christian bona-fides of Mormonism on the basis of adding other extra-Biblical books. That is not a valid criteria. After the fall of Jerusalem in 70 A.D., the Jewish texts underwent constant charge in response to Christianity at the hands of copyists, until there...

Enoch was orally transmitted before then. Jude and Paul seemed to think it was authoritative enough to quote from as scripture. You have no good reply. Your posts are incoherent. Jerome wanted to translate the Hebrew Old Testament, which they didn't have, into Latin, but not from the Greek...

That's called posturing, because you have no good reply. The Dead Sea Scrolls, some texts from 200 BC, show that the Hebrew in the Modern Theology Old Testament in our Bibles that came from the Masora (Traditional) text, given to St. Jerome to make the Latin Vulgate, had been altered by the...
