    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    What is resurrected? And from where? What is the realm of the dead? (where you are going) [
  2. St. SteVen

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    How is it that we were dead in our transgressions and sins? What are we now? Ephesians 2:1-2 NIV As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at...

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    How then is it possible that they fulfilled the miracles without Jesus' authority to do so? [

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    It's like the wax seal in days of old. [

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    How will we stand before the Judgement seat of Christ if we have no bodies? Who will be held accountable for our deeds if we have no soul? [

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    Physical life isn't a metaphor, it's a reality. Physical death is inevitable, not metaphorical. (as I understand it) Is the death in the scripture below physical, or spiritual? Ephesians 2:1-2 NIV As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you...

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    You quoted Revelation in a previous post. Obviously the "souls underneath the altar" had spiritual bodies. Otherwise, what's to see? Revelation 6:9-10: 9 When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been killed because of the word of God, and...

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    St. SteVen said: Mark 9:38 NIV “Teacher,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to stop, because he was not one of us.” Matthew 7:22-23 NIV Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name...

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    Yes, physically dead. The physical realm is everything that happens under the sun. Where is the realm of the dead? (where you are going) vs 10 [

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    St. SteVen said: The dead or alive question is interesting. And I always include the spiritual with the physical. - Physical life/physical death - Spiritual life/spiritual death As I understand it, we are both physical and spiritual beings. We are born physically alive. And...

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    Just nasty. - You asked me to launch a topic. - I have invited others to participate. - You clearly do not understand divine authority. - Now you want to inform me of what you think. - You disrespect my input. - You are off topic. [

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    It appears that you do not yet understand divine authority. I have tried to explain it to you. But... (sigh) [

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    This is a misunderstanding of divine authority. Divine authority is more specific than general authority. Ephesians 6:12 NIV For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces...

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    Thanks for your post, and the topic idea. We need to understand that there is authority in the name of Jesus. (kingdom business) This is above and beyond typical obedience and the leading of the Spirit. It requires confronting a situation that requires a miracle and using our divine authority...

    Did Jesus say that adultery is grounds for divorce? - Nope.

    Do you believe that fornication is not a sin. (since the Bible doesn't mention it, according to you) [

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

    Divine Authority - The use and abuse

    Kingdom business is done in the name (divine authority) of Jesus' name. - Jesus gave His disciples authority over demons and to heal the sick (scripture below) - The disciples observed others, outside the group, using the authority of Jesus' name. (scripture below) - Jesus said that in the...

    Was the Transfiguration a vision, or an actual appearance of Moses and Elijah?

    The dead or alive question is interesting. And I always include the spiritual with the physical. - Physical life/physical death - Spiritual life/spiritual death Also interesting to compare the key scripture used for the claim of unconscious non-existence in the afterlife with a verse five...
  19. St. SteVen

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    How is Jesus Christ revealed to people in revealing people's secrets? And to what end? This is happening in the judgment/evaluation in the afterlife. [
