Why are you accusing me of being a pharisee? Simply because I disagree with your position? You have failed to substantiate your claim. How does that make me a pharisee? You are parroting the false conclusion that this topic is intended to address. [

St. SteVen said: How can you substantiate that? How does that substantiate this? (smoke and mirrors) ??? Fred J said: i believe in the spirit and according to the wisdom given us by All Scripture = Holy Bible, Jesus meant both...

It's an interesting question. Some claim that every word of the Bible is the God-breathed (inspired) infallible Word of God. If so, why has humankind been slicing and dicing it up to meet their own objectives? [

Right in front of us this whole time. How did we miss it? Matthew 17:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” Mark 9:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them...

... "the dead" is a place. Matthew 17:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” Matthew 27:64 So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise...

Chapter and verse please. Good find if you have it. Thanks. [

How can you substantiate that? Playing the God card isn't enough. [

Not as grounds for divorce. Leviticus 20:10 10 “‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor— both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death. Deuteronomy 22:22 22 If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with...

Interestingly, Mark 9:9 uses horaó. Definition below. But the NIV does not use the word vision in the English translation. There must be a story there. Certainly all the contextual evidence points to an actual event. IMHO Especially Peter's offer to build three shelters. ◄ 3708. horaó ►...

I'm not sure sure. But I suppose it makes sense for the vine-dresser to identify fruit bearing branches and those that don't bear fruit. Those that don't bear fruit can be removed. (and set aside to be burned - yikes!) Those branches that do bear fruit would be pruned to maximize their...

Interesting that the fruit bearing branches get pruned. No good deed goes unpunished? Seems that growing believers aren't prepared for that painful setback. John 15:1-2 NIV “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every...

Compare. Two out of three? Matthew 17:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” Mark 9:9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what...

Are those prunes? Or don't you give a fig about this topic? - LOL [

A point that stood out to me from a recent sermon. - Are you being pruned? - What good fruit are you producing? - Why are you being pruned? - What does being pruned look like from a practical view? - What gets pruned (cut away) and what is left? John 15:1-2 NIV “I am the true vine, and my...

God as an unlovable tyrant? Bad news. [

I'm not convinced that God wanted us to have a Bible. It gets in the way of a personal relationship with Him. [

Honestly, UR does not fare well in debate. Unless a person has rejected Damnationism and Annihilationism, they aren't ready to accept Universalism. Frankly, the biblical case for Damnationism and Annihilationism is stronger than the biblical case for Universalism. Mostly because we got our...

Pretty sure we're not on the same page. In general I have learned to avoid discussion with her. No end to the endless posts. Rather exhausting. I'm satisfied that I know where she is coming from. No need to beat a dead horse. [

I should discuss UR with Aunty Jane? [
