It does not make sense that Matt 28:1 is only speaking of the feast days of the crucifixion week, the one is a High Holy Day and the other the Seventh Day Sabbath. It doesn’t make sense because the following phrase reads: “as it began to dawn towards the first of the Sabbaths” meaning an era of...

Whether Adam and Eve could respond to God is irrelevant. There is no Scripture that states as to the timing when they became spiritually dead, before or after they were banished from the Garden. The nature of this thread is does man have a free will to choose for God as a fallen man? For...

I apologize. I suppose I did not make myself clear enough. Anyway, how do you understand the first part of Matthew 28:1? As I understood the verse to mean is that at the end of the Sabbaths (can only mean the era of Saturday Sabbaths is coming to an end) as it began to dawn towards the first of...

To the writer of this OP. In the Bible Study Forum, I had posted a thread titled “God Changed Seventh Day Sabbath Worship to Sunday Sabbath.” Go to page 9, scroll down until you find the title. It is only six pages long and then tell us what you think and write down your thoughts on this...

It was by design not to address my response to you only, rather to you and to all those who believe as you. I have a confession to make that is I am not here in these forums to debate philosophically (I’m not that smart) but to witness, (believe it or not), the true Gospel of Salvation as am...

What apology? I was assenting to your being grateful or is there an inside joke?

You are welcome!

Why jest? Scripture teaches it must be "spiritually discerned!" Isn't this what I've been trying to convey?

Genesis 3:8-13 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. Why did they hide? Is it because they had done wrong? 9 And the LORD God called unto...

No, not an insult, but a true fact.

It bears repeating. People just don’t know how to read let alone understand Scriptures. Normally when so-called “Christians” speak of “free will” what they really mean is they have a free will to choose for God, not understanding they can’t because they are spiritually dead. Paul does not...

Time and again, I’ve always maintained people just don’t know how to read and understand Scripture, especially not knowing how to connect the dots as you will. God spoke in parables and without a parable He did not speak. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly/spiritual meaning (Mr 4:34...

@GG, said: Instead of answering me by throwing YOUR scripture back at me, why not answer the above first? It would be interesting to hear your POV. Then, I'll be happy to answer your verses Fair enough. It will not only be interesting but I must warn you my answers might not be to your...

I’ve heard this explanation before but it will not wash with the Bible. If I took your method of interpretation by utilizing grammar, history, and cultural context, to define, explain and lead to an understanding of Scripture, pretty soon I will not have a Bible. Why? Because according to your...

@GodsGrace said: T: If man is totally depraved, why is he capable of doing good? Depends on what your concept of “good” is. Jesus said, “Why call me good?” There is none good but one, that is, God. U: Could you imagine that God chose some to go to hell? Why even create man then? You will...

Neither! Scripture defines itself. What makes your definition of the word “depravity” much more viable seeing you used two of the three Scripture passages I referenced? To God Be The Glory

Truth is the truth. Does it matter who wrote it as long as what he conveyed harmonizes with Scripture? T – Total Depravity Man is desperately wicked who can know it? Jer 17:9; Matt 15:19; Mk 7:21 U – Unconditional Election There are those in their perverseness who will tell God, “You did not...

What job? Like the uncharacteristic words that a Chrstian would not say, that you let go in these forums?

The Bible is exactly as Jesus was when he was dead on the cross prior to his resurrection. It is dead and does not speak. God is NOT the God of the dead, but the God of the living: you, therefore, do greatly err (Mark 12:27). This why atheists can study the scriptures for their own...
