Got you focused on it. Keep looking. You haven't scratched the surface yet.

An illustration from way back . . . Psalm 79:13 So we, Your people and sheep of Your pasture, Will give You thanks forever; We will show forth Your praise to all generations. Psalm 95:7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear...

What? No locusts or grasshoppers? Too bad . . . :jest:

It assumes that the concept of hell is the reason people become Christians, and asks a question to which a quantifiable answer is not possible. Not just strawman but empty rhetoric.

Unlike Elijah, J the B did no miracles but there are similarities, as Matthew Henry's Commentary relates. Quote from notes on Luke 1:17 [3.] He shall go in the spirit and power of Elias. That is, First, He shall be such a man as Elias was, and do such work as Elias did, - shall, like him...

Biblical Theology is the study of God as revealed in the Bible. Very relevant.

See the full context: John the Baptist was not the Reincarnation of Elijah

Jas 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Mat 18:15-17 “If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have...

None of those terms pertain to the hypothetical process of reincarnation. A perversion of theology might propose that a Christian saved by grace through faith in an earlier life is then for some obscure, unfathomable reason, caused to leave their eternal habitation and re-enter this temporal...

That's a relief. Some "churches" host yoga classes with the mantra that "we just do the exercises" but there is a spiritual concept to these that is entrenched in eastern philosophy and its associated religious ideology, and that infiltrates the consciousness of the unwary.

Agreed. Christians who practice yoga put themselves at risk of corruption, deception, and exploitation.

Yeah, a perverse hypothesis might have one incarnation saved and another damned.

Nor me.

There are many parallels, types, and shadows in Scripture. Conceptual imagery is used to create ideological pictures that extend beyond natural boundaries. I have not been following this thread which is on a frequently discussed topic. Any interpretations of Revelation 12 that exclude the...

When the vision was given to John much of it was a review of things past, as you put it. In Revelation 12:10, the tenses used are past perfect ("has been cast down") and present perfect ("have come"). The past perfect tense is used to describe an action that was completed before another past...

The question of whether the death of Christ on the Cross purchased salvation for everyone is a matter of theological debate among Christians. Sufficiency Doctrine: Some hold the view that Christ died for all people, and that anyone who believes in him can be saved by his grace. This is known...

Disciples of Christ = Christians Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa...

Strawman alert.

Assertions that Christians cannot and do not sin are obviously false. The Lord's Prayer still applies and implies that Christians are capable of sinning. In fact, one of the lines in the prayer is “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” This line acknowledges...

The Sin That Entangles, The Chastening Of The Lord, and The Fruit Of Righteousness. Heb 12:1-11 Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set...
