Yes, just the other day during a thunder storm a bolt of lightening came down from the heavens 200 feet from me right as I stuck my head outside my back door. Bomb. I not only saw it, I heard it too.

Okay, I went over the context and read many commentaries and In context, the Corinthians were being led astray by false Apostles and so yes, Paul was pleading to them _ confirming the truth he has given them _ the sacrifices he made _ with love _ not to be deceived by false Apostles with a...

Wow. Most Christians I know realized that God has always loved them. The message we give people ( not knowing which are His sheep) is that God loves them. When I was saved, it was a realization that God has always loved me, protected me and been there for me. He formed me in my mother's womb and...

You contradict yourself with these two statements. You aren't taking it literally. A literal appearance of an angel ( or Satan disguising himeslf as), is NOT what many people see. "Appear" does not mean figuratively, to inwardly sense, it means to see and experience an angel coming down from...

I take that verse literally. Have you ever seen an angel of light? I haven't. The Bible says we might have met or entertained angels without knowing, but frankly I don't recall meeting one. And if Satan did disguise himself as an angel of light, he would be bright and glowing, unmistakable from...

That is your understanding and that is okay. I don't need a verse nit supportive by most ancient manuscripts to believe in the Trinity, there are plenty throughout the Bible. Actually I would prefer that you were right.

" ... just not found in manuscripts" ... other than the Vulgate? In context, vs. 6 sets up the next two verses. It introduces this concept of water and blood. It is obvious they changed it, because vs. 7 & 8 KJV are not congruent, don't harmonize with vs. 6. Furthermore, vs 5 points to Jesus...

I am a Trinitarian, but believe this verse was added, because the original Greek was misunderstood by the early Church ... and even now. This is the confirming Witness of the Father of His only begotten Son. This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not with the water only...

In John 5:26, Jesus is just teaching that He and the Father are ONE, that He does all that the Father does. Now how could any created being, lesser than the Father do ALL that the Father does unless He is God and equal? :For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son...

Jesus is the pre-incarnate Great I AM (Ex. 3:14). He introduced Himself back then to Moses and filled in the blanks when He became flesh and dwelt among us: I am the way, the truth and the life ... I am the Good Shepherd ... I am the Bread of Life ... I am the Resurrection ... I am the Door...

The Trinity and monotheism is not a dichotomy. The Jews always had a blurry and incomplete view of God until Christ came.

Judaism is blind still, with many doctrines, beliefs and practices obsolete and at best blurry. Most of them did not get Jesus, Who is the way the truth and the life. He is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. So unbelieving Jews are told to go stand in the corner and turn around -...

Did not say He causes us to trust, but we are all born spiritually blind. We cannot remove this blindness ourselves. He enables us to see spiritually. I am not a Calvinist and if you knew me, you would know I argue against TULIP. We can believe in predestination without adopting TULIP! The...

I never implied that. God loved me prior to my conversion - since I was born. He had a plan that 35 years years after I was born, we would have this divine appointment. So He had to protect me, guide me along the way to make sure I made that appointment. And months leading up to that time, He...

His sheep began with the house of Israel, then after His mission and Pentecost, it spread throughout the world. We were grafted into to the Vine and are His sheep. In Romams 11, Paul differentiates Israel with the Gentiles and states that in the end times, when Jesus returns, a remnant of the...

We are chosen! The doctrine of election is sound. The apparent paradox is in your limited perception. We see with blurry vision when it comes to the foreknowledge of God. There us this tension between the spiritual realm and our physical realm. What God has decided in eternity past may not have...

In context, the chapter begins with Jesus visiting Mary and Lazarus. Certainly many were drawn to Him after He resurrected Lazarus. With His entrance into Jerusalem, many were drawn to Him, but not all. Even with all the miracles, many did not believe. “For a little while longer the Light is...

Can't compare an animal's life with a human life. Physically, their illness and days left to live is not based on a person's love or hate relationship. Furthermore, animals do not have a spiritually redemptive existence based on a rational choice. I would never assume or imply to know God's...

That's right. Did He love the likely tens of millions he destroyed in the Flood? No, that was not an expression of love. He will return and destroy billions (likely 2/3 of the planet)... that is not an expression of love either. He is a God of justice. Romans 1 says people reach a certain point...

Is the Father a monotheist? He identifies Jesus as God. But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. Heb. 1:8 It's forgivable though since Jesus did not consider equality with God something that you could grasp...
