    Yes, Jesus meant TODAY in his message to the thief on the cross

    I'm simply going by the scriptures and what THEY clearly say. We can speculate, superimpose words and meanings for them, but it's hard to refute words that don't require any guesswork such as the cited scripture. There's only one place that the word paradise is defined and that is in 2 Cor 12...

    Yes, Jesus meant TODAY in his message to the thief on the cross

    Just fyi, paradise is the 3rd heaven not the garden of Eden. Read 2 Cor 12 2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I knew such a man...

    Catholic tradition, not the Bible, teaches a change to Sundaykeeping.

    It's biblical not man contrived or catholic. The disciples gathered together to break bread and remember the Lord on the 1st day of the week, Sunday. It's also called the Lord's day.

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    There are the other mentioned as well, which should all wisely be considered to apply to all of God's word and not just the book in which it's cited. That would make the most sense: you do not or should not tamper with the word of God in any way whatsoever, by adding to, taking away...

    Does it matter? You claimed wedding was not inbtge bible. The parable clearly refuses that. It was a wedding or whatever you choose to call it which is immaterial. It was a celebration of two people who were going to be joined together in marriage, which in today's vernacular, it's called a...

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    I really don't know what point you're attempting to make based on my original response. You are now off somewhere else making statements without scriptural support on who knows what topic.

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    You said the apostles did not die at the last page of the Bible. Now, re-read my response. And because the word wedding was not used, does that mean it wasn't a wedding ceremony or marriage ceremony? Call it what you will. It still is what it is.

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    There are sufficient warnings in both the OT and NT regarding adding to or taking away from the word of God. Now, the apostles didn't die as you stated, but the word is and was unchanged by them. And wedding ceremony is in the bible. Isn't the parable of the 10 virgins about a wedding ceremony...

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    In truth, although most people celebrate Christmas and Easter, the fact is neither are Christian holidays mandated by scripture nor is any day mandated by scripture to revered other than the 1st day of the week. Easter is pagan and a pagan holiday in worship of queen Eostra which holiday...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    I'm not claiming anything! The Bible claims that very clearly, I'm simply parroting what the BIBLE says in many places and infers in other places, if you simply read without bias! What does Jesus say here??? It is 100% clear! Belief first followed by baptism = salvation! The 2 elements are...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Everyone who's baptized receives the gift, singular, not a gift or gifts, but the actual spirit itself. Don't confuse the gift of the Spirit with a gift from the spirit, one of those listed gifts in 1cor 12: 8-10, which are manifestations of the Spirit like the gift of tongues were. The only 2...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    No it doesn't. There's one truth and it goes one way. You're now simply resorting to your words, vain words based on your emotions while continuing to ignore the scriptures and what they say such as those I pointed to. Go ahead, try to refute the scriptures or give an explanation as to why they...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    Read the words of the scriptures. That's all I'm doing and putting the pieces together. I don't care if someone or even everyone disagrees with me; that's not the point. But, to disagree with the words and logical order outlined in the scriptures is a different matter. Upon belief, the first...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    It's not PARTIALLY correct, it's 100% correct. And acts 2:47 addresses the question. Upon baptism, your sins are forgiven, you receive the indwelling of the Holy Ghost, and verse 47 says the Lord adds you to the body. It all happens at baptism, not at belief; you're still in sin at belief, still...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    I believe what the scriptures teach and it's clear that salvation is not possible without baptism as Jesus said in mk 16:15-16. And there is no such thing scripturally as infant baptism. Water baptism removes sin. Infants have no sin; they've committed mo transgressions nor are they capable of...

    Genesis as allegory? - History versus allegory

    "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved" (Mark 16:16) There is only one truth and it's up to us to diligent seek it.
