    Vaccines Safer than Infection

    I did a search for discussions, and in order to understand what was being reported, I'd have to have a medical dictionary. When they speak of "shedding," they refer to shedding the spike protein separately from the virus by people who had covid. At that point, it seems there are two tracks to...

    “I lost my faith at Bible college”

    My first two years of college, I was taught only how to repeat what I was told and had proof-texts provided to me. I did very well in that college. I make a good parrot. The second two years, though, was totally different. There I learned subjects like the Early Church, Bible History, and...

    Vaccines Safer than Infection

    Ok, since it appears that "my news source" is good and yours is bad status has risen to the top, there is no profit to be made. I "googled" the topic and find plenty that say something about it, but I think most of us believe that this who Covid Vaccine issue made billions for people while...

    Vaccines Safer than Infection

    Well, then I can only respond with a quote from the news article: Fact-checkers have largely denied shedding on the basis of definition. The commonly cited definition comes from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, which defines shedding as the release of viruses...

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Of course I do, as He is worthy to be praised. I also worship His Father who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The "only true God and His Son."

    Did Jesus claim to be God?

    Have you ever questioned yourself about this? If Yeshua is NOT God, and you claim that He is, are you not violating God's statements throughout the O.T. and His first commandment to Moses? If Yeshua IS God, and I don't acknowledge that fact, what sin do I commit? I have been instructed to know...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Worth repeating in order to cause us to think: A missionary visited the outer most reaches of Alaska. There he happened on a small Inuit village. The first person he saw was working on nets,because the village trade was fishing and seal hunting. Being a young man filled with zeal for the Lord...

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    I'm sure that is what you have been taught. That does not make it true. If is was "entirely appropriate as the teaching," then all translators prior to the Geneva Bible were inadequate for the job.

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    I don't accept any doctrine that is not supported by at least two witnesses. Therefore, I don't accept a popular belief based on one proof-text. Whenever passages do support each other, then I ponder them and see if any passages contradict them. I think many of us have a problem doing that...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    It is sometimes shocking to find that, no matter what we were taught in our past, the brain, the heart, and the gut can agree. That happens when Yahweh gives us the understanding that we have been asking for. I have found that there is no escaping it - even when I pleaded with God to take it...

    Vaccines Safer than Infection

    I suppose one can believe that science was promoted by God, but then the "fallen angels story" stands as a contradiction. Rather than devoting my body to the care of science is something that I am reluctant to do. If I need healing, I turn to Yahweh first. I wait for God to let me know that I...

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    Well, sir, I personally will not limit Yahweh to actions that match my beliefs. He said Himself that He put His Spirit in Yeshua in Isaiah 42 - giving His Son the ability to do the things according to Yahweh's will. Shall we suppose that is why Yahweh Himself fathered Yeshua rather than a...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Isn't it strange that so many cannot understand this passage? Lk 17:20–21 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    As I was in studies for ministry, I entered as a "fundamentalist" because my beliefs were those that I received from other "fundamentalists." Imagine my shock to find out that my understanding of scripture didn't match the contents of same! It was by learning the difference between exegesis and...

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    In your English translation, it would appear to be clear. However, if you English translation was one of the early translations, "word" would not have been capitalized. The capitalization was done by someone who already subscribed to the dogma of the Trinity - to help us see "his truth." Yahweh...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    I think the determination between Maturity and Childishness is usually on display here quite often.

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    One of the dangers that believers face is the danger of believing what man has said is true. We are so fortunate now that we have no excuse for not searching scripture and asking God to clarify his truth while we examine the things we are to understand. We really have no need to have anyone...

    Vaccines Safer than Infection

    I have a lot of family members who took the first shot and a few that took boosters. I am the only one who did not. I have not been ill, but all of them have. I had three who are dead now including my Dad. Also, I have discovered that my family who took the shot are very defensive about whether...

    Does Christ repeat the Sabbath commandment?

    You lost me with this post. Would you please make your point clear for me?

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    Brother, if you read me response, I am astounded that you believe that I did not focus. I am not a child that you should teach but a brother sharing thoughts. If a King of a country had people in danger and sent out an army to rescue them, that King would be a "savior" to them. The army would...
