Thanks. I'll try to give him a listen.

My brother, you keep being you! You have far more discernment than most Christians I know.

Can you provide an example of how this series enhanced your understanding of God's word?

Of course. Funny you ask. I saw my neighbor doing so this past weekend and now he's with God.

Yea, and the joke was on them. Jesus played them like fiddles.

All Christians will agree about loving Jesus and loving one another. Beyond that, it generally goes downhill. There are countless legalists and denominationalists that believe everyone else is incomplete and possibly damned in spite of their belief. A social event probably isn't the place to...

But, I do think you ask a lot of good questions and I hope that our new friend will look at your questions not as a challenge but as a way to grow and learn.

Your litany of questions reminds me of the scene in "Back to School" wherein Rodney Dangerfield implores the professor "Hey, take it easy professor, she (the student in question) was just a kid".

You forgot this. ;)

Well, Jack, "eternal" actually means no beginning and no end. Only God is eternal. And, have you noticed that in 2 Corinthians 4:4, most English translations use the Greek word for "the age" and translated it to "the world"? 2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV...

@Romanov2488 Have you ever prayed to God and asked him to give you faith in Jesus? We on this forum are powerless to bring you to faith; only God can do that! Ephesians 2:8–9 By grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of...

2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV In their case the god of this world (SATAN) has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18 ESV For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but...

60 Minutes once did a segment on "Judge Judy". Did you know her husband was a justice on the New York Supreme Court? Anyway, in the segment their son, who is a prosecutor in NYC, was visiting their home. He said, "In this house, my mother is the ultimate judge and there is NO appeal process".

Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies...

The movie "Fargo" really had some fun with that!

That's a great scripture! I love sharing the word of God with others. I get excited to share the word! It's like "I have great news to share with you!".

I believe it's mostly true but there are certainly exceptions. Ultimately, the meaning of life for each of us is to become close to God. If and when the whole world has abandoned us, we will always have God - and that's all that matters.

Probably. The two most important things that Jesus wants are for people to love God and to love one another. As Jesus said, what one does to another they also do to him! One person knows the scriptures by heart and perfectly understands all scripture yet, they frequently belittle and...

Welcome!
