You certainly demonstrate that clearly enough.

That doesn't make any sense at all. In keeping and honoring all the commandments of God perfectly, Jesus didn't do anything more than God asked of each person. What all that keeping and honoring of all the commandments of God perfectly actually accomplished was to establish Jesus as the one...

I agree with the first part of your statement. I am not sure your understanding of the last part about Matthew 10:23. The apostles did not even understand the gospel and its meaning until after Jesus had ascended to the right hand of the Father and the apostles had been filled with the Holy...

He is God. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. You can state it as many times as you like and each time you do you will be wrong. There is never stated to be any covenant between Jesus and God...

Good for you Rella, He is wrong.

God's foreknowledge is simply His omniscience with respect to the future. And yes indeed, it is infallible, it is perfect, it is complete in every sense. Your idea that infallible foreknowledge would mean that we have no free will is what some might agree with, but it is wrong. Foreknowledge...

Do not let your relationship with God be dependent upon what others might think or how others might act.

Yeah, so?

I suspect, but can't prove, that until the events of Acts 10 and 11, the usual thinking even by Peter and the rest was to interpret Jesus' command in Matthew 28 concerning all nations in a context not unlike what existed under the Old Covenant. And that was that a Gentile was first converted to...

I tend to agree with most of what you say there. However, in His response, "your request is granted" was not done "in faith", but rather in absolute knowledge that it would be done. For what it is worth, I do not believe that Jesus, as the man, had any more ability to perform miracles in and...

I didn't really overlook the point of the quote. It is just that there are many who do not think it is false.

"and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near" (Heb 10:24-25).

Mark Twain's statement, "Faith is believing what you know ain't so", is false. Faith is believing in something or someone you "know" to be true but can't prove to be true.

There is considerable confusion in what faith is because of the two different English nouns "faith" and "belief". The verb forms in English are to have faith and to believe. In the NT Greek, there are not two words; there is only the single verb πιστεύω [pisteuō] and the single noun πίστις...

Faith is used in at least two different ways in the Bible. The most usual way in which it is used is in the sense given by Hebrews 11:1. In that sense, faith is believing in something that cannot be proven to be true: " Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things...

You go back and re-read my post. I was responding to the post by ritajanice which posted Ephesians 2 as proof that faith was a gift. And I did not say that it follows that faith is not a gift. I said that Ephesians 2 does not say that faith is a gift.

CONTINUED, Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Again, omitting any context whatsoever ever. That passage, Romans 8:28-30, sets the condition at the outset that Paul says...

Where does scripture ever say that mankind does not have a free will ability to choose? A computer does not have the ability to make the choice to obey or disobey any of God's commands. Actually, a computer doesn't have the ability to make choices at all. It simply responds according to the...

Except of course you will not leave it closed there.
