    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    I know for a fact that you know lots of scriptures. However, the scriptures themselves cannot grant you salvation from your sins. That's Jesus's job solely and completely. Do you disagree?

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    One other tidbit is in John's Gospel 1:14 . Many people would like to have a conversation with Jesus and meet him personally to help know him on a personal level. But this verse "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" tells us that if we want to know Jesus we need to know scriptures.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Now that would be a good question for Paul (2Tim 3:16) and the Writer of Hebrews and Moses. King David, when writing yet another Psalm, said that the Torah was like : silver refined 7 times, morning dew, perfect and etc. Joshua told the Israelites, " Do not let this Torah depart from your...

    Finally decorated for Christmas...how about you?

    I've been decorating and baking up a storm. When I lived in an apartment I still cranked out 1,000 cookies every year plus gingerbread houses. Now I have a house....so we set up the toy electric train around the tree and I do over a 1,000 chocolate truffles too. All given away for Christmas.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Two things are said to be "God breathed". One is mankind and the other are the scriptures. Both are "living and active". I'm sorry but I cannot agree with you on this subject.

    Fellowship With Transgenders

    What also have trouble understanding is Alcohol and Tobacco products advertising. We do not allow these things near children because of their young age and being tempted to use them by the advertising.... So it's somehow acceptable to advertise sexual perversion to children but not Tobacco...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    God's election is not selection. God knows the end just as well as the beginning and the middle. No surprise parties for God. (Jesus? yes. But that was one of many more important reasons for living a human lifestyle) So.. Look at the parable of soils. All the different soul types were made...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    If you don't know what you are saying or intending to say how should God know is the scripture you are torturing to say its between two people.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    YOU have been claiming God is not omnipotent and omniscient with this thread along with your lousy hermeneutics. On top of this you destroy God's diety with your ridiculous notions of God being some sort of supernatural human. Really? This is the god you worship? He sounds extremely...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    If YOU don't know what you are saying then God doesn't either. That's what this verse is saying. God doesn't have any specific language. This is a notion made out of whole cloth that people have created from this passage. (Omniscience is God's hallmark) Why people want to bring God down...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    Well I'm definitely not a Calvinist. I just have a healthy respect and fear of God. And God's Sovereignty? Somewhere between Jonah, Caleb, Elijah (under the broom tree), and Sampson is where I sit at theologically. But we can know specifically what Jesus meant. First....forget the...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    One of the few things Calvinists get correct is their view of God's Sovereignty. Perfectly in control at all times over everything. Man was born blind so God's Glory could be revealed....not just Jesus's authority, power, access to His Father or the Holy Spirit or that He could do whatever He...

    Which translation are you using? And read vs 7-9 in that chapter.

    You need to reread the story I just explained that erases Calvinism.

    Rejecting Christ, or rejecting "Christianity"? (the church) ???

    There exists a phenomenon in modern politics that infuriates both sides. (I promise this is going somewhere) RINO & DINO members of each political party. People who claim party affiliation but then acts opposite of what each political party espouses. The same can be said of Christians...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    This is not an original theology system. It is detailed in John's Gospel over the story of "The Man Born Blind" and explained thoroughly. The question "Who Sinned to cause this man to be born blind" is no different from the same questions and subsequent declarations made by Calvinists.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    The Holy Spirit is God. Not modalism and not part of a pantheon. So this post of yours is nonsense. God understands me just fine in English and spoken in a manner at times that leaves no doubt Who was saying what. Very very clear and unmistakable as to What He wanted. Let's explain...
