The word Baptism or baptize always mean “wash” in Scripture. It really is saying we have to wash our sins away to be right with God, but we can't. We can wash with water all day long and that will not bring us one iota closer except wash the dirt on our skin. If water baptism is essential for...

Firstly, Jeremiah 10 does not speak of making a Christmas tree rather a making of an idol, which is a violation of God's command not to make an image of Him! Secondly, if December 25 was a pagan festival long ago, tell me is it a sin for a Christian to celebrate Jesus' birth on that day? To...

I too sadly concur about this person. To God Be The Glory

Proverbs 7:9 : In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: To God Be The Glory

Any one of the three SDA members namely, Phoneman777, Brakelite, and heretoeternity may answer. Why are you and your denomination so adamantly insist on teaching the observance of the Seventh Day Sabbath? Is it true because your church founder, Ellen G. White saw in a vision a halo above the...

If Paul was speaking BEFORE the following of the King then what did you do to contribute to that conversion? Would you not make the first step towards following the King? Is making the first step not the same as seeking God, and, If not, then who initiated the first move? If you say man then...

The problem with your statements is that no one of himself will seek after God, Ro 3:9-11. Unbeknown to you, your last sentence is actually how God want us to go to Him! To add to what I’ve already alluded to in my previous statements, I would add, ‘yes, we are all sinners but be of good cheer...

The highest good I can give to anyone who asks me to give the reason for the hope that is in me is…Salvation! I would say, we ought to come to Jesus like the Publican of Luke 18, who standing afar off, dared not lift up so much as his eyes into heaven, but smote his breast, saying,… ”God be...

Just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it is not there. Did you know that the words “Sabbaths” and “week” in Mt 28:1 are the same plural word “Sabaton” in the Greek language, and that the word “day” is italicized to mean it was not written in the original manuscripts? Go ahead check me...

God spoke in parables and without a parable He did not speak, Mark 4:34; Psalm 78:2. A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly/spiritually meaning and therefore, the whole Bible then becomes a parable because it is the story book written by God for mankind. This theme will be my method in...

justaname, Sorry for this late response but my computer broke down. I will now respond to your post #398 as I believe you ‘ve brought up spiritual truths and not know it. Revelation 1:5: “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince...

justaname, Ro 10: 9-11 is the RESULT of salvation and not the CAUSE for salvation! God wrote: “ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: w ho can know it”? Jer 17:9 We can obey to do Ro 10: 9-11 only if it is God who will work in us both to will and to do of his...

justaname, On the contrary, I do not advocate to a works gospel, but many who posts in the Christianity Board Forum do. I don't believe they understand the nature of salvation. Many in this forum and in most denominations of the world speak and teach that Jesus did all the work of salvation...

Zeke25, Read your post #81 and except for your faulty understanding on some passages there were really nothing to refute as all scripture references you laid out did pertain to the sabbath. God changed the Seventh Day Sabbath to the Sunday Sabbath and the scripture reference can be found in Mt...

The Bible is a historical as well as a spiritual book yet majority of people read and critique it like it is an ordinary book. God has given us the principles and methodology by which we can understand the deeper meanings of difficult passages in Scripture, 2Ti 3:16 and 1Co 2:14. God spoke in...

Webers_Home, Thank you! Thank you! For nudging me to act like the Bereans who searched the scriptures if whether those things be true. There are no tricky parts in figuring out where to locate the special sabbath that was called the High Sabbath. There are no incidentals or accidentals in the...

Webers_Home, Below, is a short guideline to what I believe occurred during the timing of the Atonement. 1 Thursday night a) As Jesus began to pray at the Garden of Gethsemane already He was enduring and suffering the punishment the Father put upon Him as the sweat turned into drops of blood...

Webers_Home, I was not aware there is a physical place called, “in the heart of the earth”. The biblical rule is to compare scripture with scripture, and spiritual things with spiritual when attempting to search the Bible for particular words or phrases, and on how they are used elsewhere in...

Winc, According to Jo 11:3 and elsewhere in Scripture, it would have been Lazarus and he is also the disciple who wrote the Book of John. It could not have been John because John is an Apostle and not a disciple. John is the human writer of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd John, and also the Book of...

Rstrats, Please elaborate on the first sentence you wrote above. I've inserted the Scripture 2Co 5:8 to prove that Jesus and the thief went to heaven to be with the Father and not in the grave someplace. It is also to reinforce that the souls of the true believers go to be with the Lord after...
