(marksman;61079) I have no idea because most of what you have written is man made mumbo jumbo and definitely not inspired by the Holy Spirit as it contradicts what is in the NT. I thought you studied 30 years and consulted writers and your Anglican friend (who apparently did not realized...

(Lookin'4wardtoHeaven;60987) Say what? It is the Our Father prayer, in Latin which came before there was a KJV. So few speak it that way today that not many recognize it. We prefer English, or our native tongue. Who speaks KJ English today????

(marksman;60566) What really works is when we understand what the scriptures say as the truth sets us free. After about 30 years of study, consulting with a myriad of writers and the original Greek, the last supper was just that, not a perpetual ritual.We don't make a doctrine out of one verse...

(Swamp Fox;60883) Baptized...yes...but in what sense? What does the Word say?Matthew 3:11Physical Baptism in the water is fine - its a way to show what you believe. But could someone potentially (and wrongly) Baptize a man who's heart is not with God? Sure could. Baptism of the Holy Spirit is...

Nor these,PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, sed...

ahem - did Adam walk with God?Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. Yesahem - Did Adam have a body?Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed...

yes there is a huge difference. Angels are spiritual beings, they have no bodies and are immortal. Apparently amoung the lot of them, their powers vary. They cannot reproduce. They were created that way. We are created another way.We are human, we have body and an immortal spirit, though not as...

(jeffhughes;60555) To add a bit to Theophage's answer, I would say that it is not that we live or exist that is good or bad, but how we live or exist. I would have a difficult time saying that it is "better" that Hitler existed, but I would have no difficulty saying that it was "better" that...

Theophage,Such questions have meaning in many worldviews, not just mine (Christian). And I would suggest that for most of us the answer to which color is better or similar questions have far less significance/importance than to whether or not I think it is better that you exist. Are you...

(Theophage;60532) Well, again, I'm really not getting what you mean by "better" or how to judge it in such a sense.If I'm already alive, then yes, I find it better to be alive. Being alive I have hopes, dreams, desires, friends, family, and interests. I really don't want to give any of these up...

(Swamp Fox;60521) Because allah is not YHVH, of course. But their code of justice today is still closer to the full text of 'the Law" in scripture than what you support. Again, why is that not better? If you are saying God commands us to kill murderers because that is in scripture, then what is...

(SoldierforChrist;60510) Exactly Jordan, and that is what I stated in my post earlier.Also, is it just me or does it seem to you that when they run out of arguments they try to make everything personal? R u guys kidding??????If I am ignorant then murder is ok! What world are you living in?

I guess am curious why you think it better that you or I or any of us exist, as opposed ot not existing. At first you said you were not sure. Why is it better that things are this way and not some other?

I think it is good that you exist and I do not even know you. And I would hope everyone could look at themselves, not consider what others may think or feel, and be able to say that it is good that I exist. Further that is better that one exists than not. Assuming you truly do not know, would...

The topic of the thread is that the Bible contains scripture that some here claim mandate capital punishment today. You did not explain why 1st century Christians did not practice capital punishment. You did not explain why it would have been wrong for the people to stone that adulterous woman...

(Theophage;60496) Howdy waquinas,Of course the glib answer is that I exist because my parents had sex. For a deeper answer, I'd have to understand your question a little better. Do you mean why do human beings exist? Do you mean why does life itself exist? Do you mean why does anything exist as...

(Swamp Fox;60482) I very clearly outlined Matthew 5 (even though I argue one should read it and understand that all these laws have not evaporated).Again, you ignored the several references where I directly replied to your Scripture postings to post this little comment. It's the same old story...

why do you exist?
