    The sacrifice

    No. When Jesus was in the garden praying, He was not praying to Himself.

    The sacrifice

    If Jesus had said no, then none of us could be saved He knew that the whole point of HIs birth and ministry was to be our substitute for sin, to have the eternal wrath of God for sin poured out on Him and for Him to die and be raised from the dead. It was not being crucified that caused His...

    The sacrifice

    I have toothache in one of my back teeth. The nerve has died and if left an abscess could form, so I am having it out on Monday morning. I could have a root canal to save the tooth, but $2000 to get it done by a specialist is a bit steep for me. Having it out is much less expensive. Yep, I...

    What constitutes penance!

    We don't have to do penance for our sins because Jesus did it all when He suffered and died on the Cross. When Jesus took the guilt and penalty for our sin, it was cancelled, so we don't have to do penance for cancelled sin.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    1. You seem to be saying that the transfiguration even cannot be true because Jesus was just an ordinary man with no divine characteristics before His resurrection. 2. The risen, glorified Jesus is not omnipresent. He is in one place - seated at the right hand of the Father. It is the Holy...

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    That could be the 64 thousand dollar question in this quiz show exchange.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    That is a mixture of the Arian heresy and Mormon doctrine.

    Try actually reading Luke's Gospel to answer your question.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    What you are supporting here is Arianism, which taught that Jesus, as the Son of God was created by God. In the First Century it was viewed as a non-Christian cult that was dividing the Christian church. It was believed that those who held to Arianism were not truly born again of the Spirit...

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    Which means that you don't believe that Jesus is God, and that He was merely a created being. The problem with that is that Jesus the man who was without the original sin passed down from Adam was our perfect substitute for sin. Also, in the three hours He spent on the Cross before He died, He...

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    Jesus was the only man who was not born with original sin. This is because He was "fathered" by the Holy Spirit, thereby breaking the cycle of original sin which was transferred from father to child. This is why the virgin birth is so important. Those who don't believe in the virgin birth...

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    It means just that: Jesus was just an ordinary man before His death, resurrection and ascension. He is still a man in his glorified body, and has promised that when we are resurrected we will be transformed in the same way, as our mortality becomes immortality.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    I thought I was on a forum thread, not a quiz show. You can answer that question yourself.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    I'm not a fan of 20 questions. Too much like an interrogation.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    The Scripture says that God the Father is a spirit and no man has seen Him at any time. Jesus is God the Son, and it was he who was born of Mary as a normal baby who grew up in the normal way to become a man. The only person to have the qualification to be our substitute for sin, had to be God...

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    Jesus is God manifest in the flesh. That means He became a normal human being, yet without original sin.
  17. Paul Christensen

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    God actually became a real human being.

    WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN A NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?

    Pure heretical 2000 year old fantasy. A complete contradiction to the Scripture: "God manifest in the flesh".

    Hebrews 3-4: Not About Sabbath-Keeping

    Your Scripture quote says that the whole city came together on one particular day to hear the Word of God. There is no mention of it being repeated. To say that the Gentiles repeatedly gathered on the Sabbath to hear the Word of God is reading into the Scripture what is not there. Perverting...
