    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    That all sounds well and good, all couched in spiritual terms and even with Bible references. But it's all deception, and you have to deny clear bible truth in order to sustain it. Only God is immortal. We receive immortality as a gift. That gift comes to us at the second coming. And only...

    Define salvation. ( what is "the Gospel")

    The gospel is really very simple. Without going into the how at this point, the result is... there is therefore now no condemnation for them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ROMANS 8:1 “For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world...

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    Read Genesis again. Man was not given a soul. He was given life in the form of breath/spirit, and he became a soul. God is spirit. John 4:24. God only is immortal. 1 Timothy 6:15,16. Therefore God only is an immortal spirit. We are not gods.

    What did Christ mean saying, God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

    The only way you can justify the natural immortality of the soul, is by redefining the meaning of death, and in doing so making scripture of none effect. The soul that sins, it shall die. Separation in and of itself, is not death. However, because such separation is in context a...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    Yep. Regardless of how much of that prejudiced dissertation I believe to be either literal or metaphorical, the predominant message you are giving is that you do not believe in scripture, despite your claims to the contrary. You claim to be a follower of Jesus, yet don't believe what He...

    Past The Exuberance of Victory: Assessing MAGA's enemies

    Sadly, the European invaders of Australia relegated the indigenous people of Australia to exactly that...flora and fauna, thus justifying their genocide.

    Past The Exuberance of Victory: Assessing MAGA's enemies

    You would obviously agree that to render unto Caesar that which is his, and render unto God that which is His, is a spiritual truth to be honoured. The problem the church has these days is in discerning what actually belongs to each camp. Also, I believe there were many genuine Christians...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    I accept metaphor when the text demands it. I accept literal unless it is clear and obvious it must be metaphor. Your description above is a mixture of both, not knowing how to discern between the two paradigms. I accept a literal 6 day creation because God personally wrote with His own...

    Is this place overwhelming just the typical run of the mill conservative Christians who ignore science and biblical scholarship?

    Augustin56 would likely prefer Catholic Christian who has the full truth and fundamentalist Christian who is a terrorist and violent. At least according to Francis. Ironically, the Catholic Church has become one of the most liberal of religions.

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    As I said, many believe in evolution because they don't believe in scripture. God's own words... not those of a prophet, a translation, a redacted interpretation, or bible critic, but the hand written word of God Himself utterly contradicts any evolution theory... “8 Remember the sabbath...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    Mmm. He said He believes scripture, but just not the way we do. So he believes in evolution, would like to know what he makes of the following... “1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    Wow. You know so much about me! That's astonishing. How do you do it?

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    “Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. ” Jeremiah 6:16 KJV https://www.unfeignedbible.app/Jeremiah.6.16 “3 For the time will come when...

    Omnist Christianity and the elohim.

    I have come to the conclusion that because you don't believe in the scriptures, you'll believe in anything...or nothing. What you are presenting is all theory and others ideas. And no truth. And you can't decide which is correct. You hop from one theory to another, from one philosopher to...

    Is this place overwhelming just the typical run of the mill conservative Christians who ignore science and biblical scholarship?

    You have proved me right. All that unbelief because they have abandoned the scriptures in favour of majority opinion. And it is unbelief. It isn't because science has proved evolution, or proved that Genesis is myth. It's unbelief. The Bible says that Jesus created all things. The Bible...

    Is this place overwhelming just the typical run of the mill conservative Christians who ignore science and biblical scholarship?

    All those different ideas you mentioned about the nature of God/ Godhead are the very reasons why we have a bible. Why we need the Bible. Now sure, there are disagreements on what some bible passages speak about, and that's fine because God has given all of us free will, the ability to...

    Counting to Three

    Suggestion: throughout His ministry, even from the wedding at Cana, Jesus repeatedly asserted that His time was "not yet come". Yet at the same time, warned that His time would come. And that time He spoke of wasn't only about literal death. He said, “18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and...

    Counting to Three

    Because nowhere in scripture is there a hint that "heart of the earth", or Jonah's fishing trip, meant death. I mean it could, but there's no supportive evidence to suggest it. Thus far it's a simply an assumption.

    Depressed, struggling with serving God in my Church.

    He does not burden you with more than you can bear. And you are not bearing the present load. My conclusion is that it isn't God increasing your work load, it's a thoughtless leadership. Ditch everything except that which you feel comfortable to handle. You are the greater priority than...
