God is omnipresent yes. When people die they go to a temporary spiritual place called hell, hades, sheol, and grave. When the unsaved dies both his body and soul go to the grave to await Judgment. But when a child of God dies however, his body goes to the grave but in his soul existence he goes...

I was so sure you were not going to respond because we’ve had this discussion in the past where you denied the existence of heaven. I’m happy that finally you do admit there is a heaven. To God Be The Glory

Jesus told the thief on the cross, "today you will be with me in paradise." Paradise is a synonym for heaven. Before Jesus died He said, “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.” Many who posts in these forums (you know who you are) believe also like you that there is no place called heaven...

As I’ve stated in my post above, the Salvation plan of God is very complex and not readily understood, and if I might add, is sometimes hidden. Take John 3:16-18, for instance. The word “so” in verse 16 can be translated “in this manner” or “thus,” and the word “whosoever” cannot mean anyone. It...

Unfortunately, your kind of salvation is a man made salvation! One can repent all day long and everyday for the rest of his life, and it will not bring him closer to salvation. One can believe, or accept, or confess Jesus (or whatever man does), and it will NOT bring him one iota closer to...

God told Jeremiah to write in a book all the things God wanted to convey in Jeremiah 36: 1-4. Likewise, God also told Moses along with Paul to do the same and these books then became part of the Bible. Holy men of God spoke as God the Holy Spirit moved them. Ultimately, therefore God is the...

The Bible is a historical as well as a spiritual book. The majority of people critique and read it like it's an ordinary book. God has given us two principles by which we may know the deeper meanings of scripture circumscribed in 2 Tim 3:16 and 1 Co 2:14. The Bible cannot be understood by...

Why quibble about definitions instead of looking for the context of what is being conveyed. I, myself is leaning towards Strong's definition. Matthew 12:22-32 reads: 22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb; and he healed him, inasmuch that the blind...

Matthew 1:21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. Verse 23: Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us...

Ezekiel 37:24-25 reads: And David (Jesus) my servant shall be KING over them; and they shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. ...and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their PRINCE...

Ezekiel 37:24-25 reads: And David (Jesus) my servant shall be KING over them; and they shall have one shepherd: they shall also walk in my judgments, and observe my statutes, and do them. ...and their children, and their children's children for ever: and my servant David shall be their PRINCE...

Daniel 12:12 is the ONLY verse found in the scriptures that can't be compared on how else God uses the term 1335 days with the rest of scriptures. The only way to understand Daniel 12:12 is as follows: The "He" in verse 12 I believe speaks of Christ as He had to come in the fullness of time...

Wormwood, Oz I think we have come to the peak of this discussions. I can only lead you to the water trough but cannot make you drink. I have more to say but I believe it will be to no avail. Thanks for putting up with me. Jun

Wormwood, I've already given my reasons as to why the books in question was never included with the other 67 books of the Bible but you have not accepted those reasons. You don't have to defend Oz as I understood perfectly well what he conveyed. What I fail to realize/understand is why the more...

Only the Bible which is the source Book of Truth. Most definitely! 2 Peter 1:21 reads: For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. On the other hand, you adamantly argue for so-and-so here and so-and-so there wrote...

By whose standard of evidence are you going by, God's or man's? Mark 16:9ff cannot be written by the mind of man only by God. Since the Bible is the Word of God don't you believe He guided the men to put together the correct books? Revelation 22:18-19 is a warning to those who insist that God...

Oz, 2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Do you accept and believe the scripture above to be true? If you do then why with all the education you've had accumulated make you doubt that God never moved...

Oz, Finally I had the chance to read Codex Sinaiticus as you've suggested but had to quit after reading the part that said 'Mark 16:9-20 were written but was erased'. You did read that part did you not? This is the reason I don't read commentaries by many scholars because their work at best is...

1 CORINTHIANS 12: 7 - 11 reads: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the...

In your OP under the topic “What is the defining mark of a Disciple of Christ?”, I've stated that the hallmark of a true believer is to “accept and “obey” the Bible, but you had different ideas. Now you are remonstrating with those who go to any lengths to avoid "obedience" to the commandments...
