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

    No. Not unless I claim your opinion disagrees with the Bible, or that God told me you were wrong. Several times today. Which infers that I am NOT in alignment with the Bible. Which infers that the Holy Spirit is telling you that I am wrong. Which infers that my understanding of God is wrong...

    I like to bring challenges to the status quo. (inside the fence) I ask questions and make comments that make many Christians VERY uncomfortable. [

    Do you understand what it means to play the God card? https://www.christianityboard.com/threads/playing-the-god-card-to-end-the-discussion-misuse-of-gods-name.64267/ [

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

    What do you conclude about that? - Is one of us right and the other wrong? - Are we both right? - Are we both wrong? Does God speaking to your heart tell you that I am wrong? (the God card) [

    LOL Did you realize that you just played "the God card"? "I’m just going by the inspired word.." - Ritajanice As if that should end the discussion. Not your intention though. (I don't think) I know you are becoming weary in all the back and forth. You even bowed out at one point, but have...

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

    St. SteVen said: 1 Corinthians 15:22-24 NIV For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. That's a common response. It clearly says that all die (present tense) and that all will be made alive. (future tense) Are not those in Christ ALREADY alive? Who are...

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

    Agree. So, let's not assume that anyone is lost for all time. It just means their time has not yet come. Before God spoke to me, at the tender age of eight, all I knew was the religion of Christianity. I had been raised in the religion and assumed I was "in". My concern for the other kids...

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

    Not sure who this is addressed to. It helps to quote the post you are responding to. Bible vs. Bible. Who will win? We need to consider the different audiences for the gospel, and the gospel message itself. Everyone is already saved due to the complete work of the atonement on behalf of all...

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

    The short answer is, "Yes." However... God loves every human individual. (past, present and future) His children, created in His image. He is our heavenly Father. For reasons unknown to me, He chooses when to reconcile a person to Himself. Each in turn. As in Adam all die, so in Christ...

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

    There are many aspects (layers) to salvation. - Saved in the final sense from the penalty of death for sin - Saved in the personal sense from ourselves and our situation at conversion - Saved in an isolated specific personal situation - Saved due to the complete work of the atonement on the...

    Jesus talked about hell more than anything else in the Bible. - Seriously?

    Hello. Always good to see a sign of life. We need to examine our motives, I suppose. "My personal Bible study tells me that you are wrong." [

    Jesus talked about hell more than anything else in the Bible. - Seriously?

    Brook Potter “When someone says that Jesus taught about Hell more than anything else in his earthly ministry, it’s obvious that person get’s their theology from Christian Television more so than from study.” One of the most common logical fallacies used by Christians is the fallacy of...

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

    A search on the term "realm of the dead" in the NIV yields 29 references. One is in Ecclesiastes, and two of them are in Acts chapter 2. Unconscious nonexistence? Nope. Isaiah 14:9 NIV The realm of the dead below is all astir to meet you at your coming; it rouses the spirits of the...

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

    The thing that convinced me that it wasn't a vision, was that Peter offered to build three shelters. You don't offer to build shelters for members of a vision. [
