I disagree. Those elements appear only as one from the outside chooses to introduce them. The field," Christ said, "is the world." But we must understand this as signifying the church of Christ in the world. The parable is a description of that which pertains to the kingdom of God, His work of...

Yes, and somehow gloss over the phrase, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction. Why is it that God is sooo patient? “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering (enduring with much patience) to us-ward, not...

So from whence did Adam and Eve attain their leather clothing? Do you really believe God Himself killed the animal to clothe them? Why clothe them anyway, if they were irrevocably lost? How many inferences do you need in scripture of God providing clothing of righteousness? Where did people get...

We are born with an hereditary proclivity to selfishness, which is sin. That sin nature needs to be dealt with, and it doesn't disappear through our good works out self determination. We cannot self operate to change our hearts. Which is why Jesus said, ye must be born again. Spiritual rebirth...

Why focus so much on Satan, and not the power of God to save even the worst of sinners?

The abomination of desolation, as brought upon God's people in a localised literal sense at70AD, will be repeated on a global scale in a spiritual sense before the second coming. First brought about by the idolatry of pagan Rome in their desecration of holy ground around Jerusalem, but in the...

“1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. The...

In other words, what do you want personally from the deal?

How would you like it to be?

I agree with the Nicene creed, which was not yet Trinitarian in the truest sense. At that stage they haven't formulated how the Father, Son, and Spirit were one. Should have left that alone and settled for what scripture says. That Jesus was a Son before Bethlehem is obvious of you accept...

Righteousness by faith. Righteousness as a gift to all those who recognise their need, and ask. And always will be until Jesus returns to take His children home, and leaves the unbelieving world in ruins until the new creation. A new start.

So the angel was lying?

The angel told Joseph what Jesus was saving us from...sin. Matt.1:21 If one is to accept that as simply as it says, then one can confidently discard at least a couple of false theories, one of which you described above, that Jesus is determined to incinerate the vast majority of mankind. The...

When Jesus said the following, who was it that shared the glory, other than the Father? “And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. ” John 17:5 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/John.17.5 Who was I, the one who was with the...

The recent demise of Pope Francis has the world in a tiz. The media everywhere is tripping over itself in its attempts to out-praise each other regarding the late pope's character and life. However, the words of the Jesuit general, Sosa, ought to be given careful consideration. He said that to...

Many hold faith as an opinion. Saving faith is a transaction, by which those who receive Christ join themselves in covenant relation with God. A living faith means an increase of vigor, a confiding trust, by which, through the grace of Christ, the soul becomes a conquering power. Faith is a...

There is a misapprehension among some regarding those who identify the papacy with the Antichrist. No-one as far as I know, on this forum has ever claimed the pope himself to be the Antichrist. That would be impossible, considering the apostles taught the Antichrist present in their day... The...

I believe you recently quoted this scripture, "the Lord is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance". If you believe this, and I know you do, how do you know billions have gone to the grave (not a? fter life) without any offer of repentance? Is God playing...
