    Why I love the Bible

    Right. A superiority complex caused by a dim view of humankind. (created in God's image) In the same way a divorcee hates the image of their mate in their progeny. [

    Why I love the Bible

    Do you understand where the Bible came from? I think that calling the whole thing "God's Word" is misdirected. [

    Why I love the Bible

    I agree. (within reason) But it was never intended to be an idol. "No other gods before me." [

    Why I love the Bible

    That is a complete mischaracterization of what I discuss about the final judgment. (you are bearing false witness again) [

    Why I love the Bible

    You speak of a book as if it is a person you worship. (an idol) https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/bibliolatry-worship-knowledge-of-the-book-more-than-the-author.54191/ [

    The challenge in Christianity is not to love Jesus, it's to love Judas.

    Did Jesus love Judas? If Jesus loved Judas, shouldn't we? "To love a betrayer, a person who seeks your actual harm and who slanders you, is a part of our faith (Luke 6:22; 1 Peter 4:4). It literally is the story of Jesus Christ. Also a part of our faith is the separation between Holy and...

    Why I love the Bible

    If offense is the problem, I would say those who attack with their reply posts are more to blame than those who provide thought-provoking topics. I am being torn to shreds on a regular basis. But I CHOOSE not to be offended...

    Why I love the Bible

    The subject of offense is very interesting. Worth a topic. Offense is in the eyes and ears of the offended. Proverbs 19:11 NIV A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. Matthew 15:12 NIV Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the...

    That's a great point. Thank you. (he's bearing false witness) [

    Why I love the Bible

    Not sure if that is a reference to my threads, but I will say this... If the status quo can't stand up to a few challenges then it is a house of cards that needs to fall. IMHO [

    You are one of us then. [

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Don't overlook the end of that verse, my dear. "But we have the mind of Christ." That's a big BUT. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NIV “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?”[a] But we have the mind of Christ. [

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    1 Corinthians 12:11-12 NIV All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines. 12 Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. [

    What did Jesus die to save us from?

    Agree. The Atonement paid the death penalty for our sin. [

    Born again - Before, or After, the Call?

    Indeed. And it begs the question about why some have these mountain-top experiences and others don't. In our case it came to us unexpected. (uninvited) But perhaps the others need to invite it? The further experiences I did invite. (pressed into) I was willing to spend the time to seek...
