The Son of God and the Son of Man is one Christ and cannot be divided into 2 Persons. This has been orthodoxy since the early centuries as stated in the Athanasian Creed which is squarely based upon scripture. As the early church did combat with heretics, they were forced to put doctrine into...

I debated where to place this, but since it comes from Bible study, I'm posting it here. I have been asked a young Japanese man who is Buddhist, to tell him about the Bible and the Christian faith. The following is what I emailed him. I know I've missed some key points I should have included...

Hello Hillsage, thanks for the reply. My two study Bibles are on my computer and they are from: theWord.net and the other at e-sword.net They both are free, and have many free modules available. They look complicated at first, but take some time and slowly you learn all the great features...

Gal. 3:19-25 appears to be speaking of the law of Moses as the school master for Jews. Gentiles were never under the Law of Moses, but was there "a law" written on their hearts to drive them to Christ when they hear the gospel? "For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the...

There is a lot about the mechanics or technology of this forum that I do not grasp. I can do the basics, posting and replying. :contemplate:

I am usually not picky over a person's grammar, or choice of words revealing their character; but with you I consider your posts not worth the time answering, more than I already have. There is such a thing as arrogance based on ignorance, and it is quite repugnant.

Steven, I believe we have some viewpoints in common on Christian doctrine. You've commented before on some of my posts, and I appreciate it. You mention looking at videos, but I do not even look at videos on my usual new web sites. I just prefer texts and I find it faster. I am not a...

Try not to become so emotional, stay calm and rational. I am not familiar with those you mention to rebut my post, but here are two sources I believe have standing in the conservative Christian community. The Tyndale OT Commentary Series and Leviticsus is by Prof. R. L. Harrison - "The...

I reject your statement that Jesus could have sinned. He was "impeccable" and could not have sinned. He was God as well as man and God cannot sin. He did not have the sin nature to which a temptation could attach. He was indeed tested in every way humanly possible, but he did not sin and he...

Steven, there is another disconnect on this topic for some of us older guys. I'm 81 and when I was in junior high and a senior, "queers" were joked about, boys teasing each other. It was not a hate filled thing as I remember. I never heard the topic of homosexuality ever mentioned until a...

Hi, I'd like to suggest a couple things for the saints to think about. What exactly is the "abomination" in Lev. 18:22? The chapter starts out pointing out the sin of Egypt and Canaan, and then in v3 you have the KJV word "ordinances" and the Hebrew is H2708 chuqqah and that is a word of...

We are not to reject logic, reason and intelligence and replace it with some mystical, nebulous view of God's word. There is no substance or certainty in that. It is contrary to the very word of God about logic, intelligence and reasonableness. "As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of...

When a legitimate critique of my post, that shows basic hermeneutical knowledge is posted, I will address it. I may learn from it. I've learned a critical, major point from an intelligent online post in recent months. But it is a waste of time to reply to sarcasm and nonsensical reasoning.

"Barney Fife", to those old enough to remember that TV Mayberry series, that name is quite fitting.

“You shall not commit adultery." (Exod 20:14 RSV) Strong's "H5003 נָאַף na'aph (naw-af') v. 1. to commit adultery. 2. (figuratively) to apostatize." BDB Definition: "1) to commit adultery 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to commit adultery 1a1a) usually of man 1a1a1) always with wife of another 1a1b)...

Your 1995 NASB translates arsenokoites as "homosexuals"; but the NKJV translates malakos as homosexuals. Which is it? Sounds to me like the footnote in the NRSVue is right about the uncertainty of the Greek. If you read the KJV, RV, ASV and YLT, and use the 1828 Webster's Dictionary on the...

You wrote: "#1. God determined that His 'Good' Creation is the Dictionary for His Children to find the definition(s) of sin." Show me the scripture passage or verse that states that. You can only read that into the scripture out of your own mind. The fact God created two sexes, male and...

You wrote "every time you see a biblical reference to fornication, adultery, or sexual immorality, homosexuality is included" and you have indeed included the lousy modern choice in translation, changing from "fornication" to "sexual immorality". Yes indeed, you can stick whatever you wish...

I don't get what you think this has to do with sexual acts between males. No one denies God created male and female. I've not written about the modern perversion of the definition of marriage, to make it include same-sex marriage. First - You seem to be making the creation the determiner of...

THE RELIGIOUS WAR ON LGBTQ IS PRODUCING COLLATERAL DAMAGE among a large percentage of those termed gay men, of whom a 2019 study by the Yale School of Medicine indicates 83% are closeted. If 3% of males are gay, then 2-3 in a hundred are closeted. Many of those are closeted because of...
