The only verse in the whole Bible which says that all souls belong to God is Ezekiel 18:4. Why did you not read and quote the whole verse? You did not quote the whole verse in your later post (#303): Ezekiel 18:4 (WEB): (4) Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the...

The apostle Paul taught differently - 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 (WEB): (16) For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God’s trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, (17) then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up...

You're being adversarial again. If you can't be calm, civil, and friendly, as a Christian should be, then I'm not interested in continuing the discussion. Do you think Jesus would talk to people like you do? I don't. I won't respond to any more of your posts in this thread, so you can calm...

If you can't respond in a civil manner then I will not continue with the discussion. Remember the forum rules: No Flaming, Goading or Harassment. All members should be treated with the utmost respect and courtesy at all times following the rules of civil discourse. No insults are allowed...

My first post was simply to state why I found it impossible to believe what you believe. There was no need for me to comment on all that you wrote (pages and pages of it!). But as you keep asking I will comment some more. Of course Jeremiah 4 is not talking about the days of creation, but...

I woud have thought it was obvious from the simple text that I quoted. When God said, "Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work", He was surely implying normal days of 24 hours. Surely you don't...

Yes, I was taught that too, but I no longer believe it. I believe that God declares that He made heaven and earth in six days, particularly from Exodus 20:9-11 (WEB): (9) You shall labor six days, and do all your work, (10) but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not...

I find that impossible to believe because it is not in harmony with god's word: Exodus 20 (WEB): (1) God spoke all these words, saying, (2) “I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. (11) for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the...

God's name YHVH is pronounced Yahavah. See the YouTube videos The Hidden Beauty of the Holy Name of God - YHVH and The Name of God | Christian Ultra Libertarians for Truth. Here's a short extract from the first video: If you were looking at the ancient scroll and you just said the consonant...

The LXX and Peshitta are both older than the Masoretic, which was primarily copied, edited, and distributed by a group of Jews known as the Masoretes between the 7th and 10th centuries AD. I'd trust the LXX more - it was used by Jesus and the Jews during the first century AD.

There are many verses of Scripture that suggest otherwise, e.g. : Romans 5:18 (WEB): (18) So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life. Titus 2:11 (ESV): (11) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing...

Not everyone is justified - yet! John 12:46-48 (WEB): (46) I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness. (47) If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn’t believe, I don’t judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the...

Well indeed. Not everyone is called to be a Christian during this present age, and nobody who lived before Jesus' ministry was called to be a Christian. Hebrews 11:39-40 (39) These all, having had testimony given to them through their faith, didn’t receive the promise, (40) God having...

You seem to be arguing about something different! The thread is supposed to be discussing whether or not Jesus died for all mankind or just a smaller number of people. I never at any point mentioned anything about believing, and I certainly didn't deny that in order to have eternal life one...

I just listed some verses for others to consider and draw their own conclusions. Here are some other verses to consider, Titus 2:11-14 (WEB): (11) For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, (12) instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts...

Yes, the "many sons unto glory" is referring to Christians (not the whole wold) who will become glorious sons of God, and brothers of Jesus: (11) For both he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one, for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brothers, but nevertheless...

Other verses to consider (from WEB): John 1:29 (29) The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 3:16-17 (16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not...

Jesus is not God! Why would Paul even mention that Jesus could even consider equality with God if Jesus was God? It only makes sense to mention it if Jesus was not God.

Translation - I can't argue with that, so I give up! :wink:

All that you wrote about those verses was the question, "So the blind Pharisees were stupid in accusing Jesus of His claim to be GOD?". I didn't "twist" your question at all, although I will now point out that it actually says Jews and not Pharisees - it was ordinary Jewish people, not the...
