    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Likewise the Godhead of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is all through the Bible.
  2. Stumpmaster

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The word "Unitarian" is not in the Bible, therefore its doctrine is false . . . . if we are using such fallacies of composition.
  3. Stumpmaster

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The word "Trinity" is not in the Bible, nor is the word "Bible", but they both still exist.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    And Nazarites/Nazirites Nazirite - Wikipedia Amo 2:10-12 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite. (11) And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Some more verses that proclaim Christ as the Son of God. Even after His ascension the fullness of the Godhead continues to dwell bodily in Christ. Col 2:8-10 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    These verses might be difficult reading for those who deny that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Mat 3:16-17 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The truth is that God the Father stayed alive in the Spirit while God the Son died in the flesh, to appease His Father's wrath: Rom 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, Joh 1:1 In the...

    The Death Of Christ Proclaimed

    1. The Death of Christ is Real: Planned by God (1 Peter 1:18-21, Revelation 13:8, ), Pictured and Prophesied (Isaiah 53:8-9,), Passover Provision (1 Corinthians 5:7, ), Payment by God at His own expense, forgiving the debt ( Matthew 20:28, Acts of the Apostles 20:28, 1 Corinthians 6:20,)...

    The Death Of Christ Proclaimed

    Years ago a teaching that Jesus didn't really die was being given some prominence, but at the time I wasn't having any of it and I'm still not having any of it. The Scriptures are profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness, that the person of God may be...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Did you hear about the clergyman's son who was getting another flogging from his father and asked, "If Jesus died for my sins why am I being punished for them?"

    What was Apostle Paul's outline he used when first presenting the Gospel

    I've always appreciated the phrasing in these verses: Paul's manner of going to the synagogue His reasoning with them out of the Scriptures His opening and alleging (explaining and demonstrating) the person of Christ. Act 17:1-4 Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they...

    What was Apostle Paul's outline he used when first presenting the Gospel

    Everything recorded by Luke in the Book of Acts, and preserved in various epistles of the New Testament. Many scholars have published summaries of these which are available online.

    Treason against God/Christ the King

    If eating meat offered to idols offends you don't do it, and likewise if pledging allegiance to a head of state offends you, don't do it. But be aware that both are matters of conscience which are not prohibited in Scripture: Rom 13:1-7 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities...

    Personification of the earth in scripture.

    The poetic licence employed in some verses is obvious . . . eg. Isa 55:12 For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Isa 44:23 Sing, O you heavens...

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means.

    Grace-Haters are incapable of honestly admitting what the (P) in Calvinism really means. @atpollard Well you can't have your cake and eat it. The Calvinist/Reformed rhetoric says when the saints get to heaven they see a banner saying, "You are here because of God's choosing". By the same...

    Running With A Purpose

    I hope my comment doesn't seem aimless and uncertain. I'm glad you didn't come across as accusative, because when our ministries and giftings repeatedly take us into testing situations, a message from the pulpit or elsewhere that throws shade on our service is a disappointing diatribe to have...

    Think about it: How Would You Quit the Internet for Life

    The internet is like the the sun, which has many benefits to offer, but can also be harmful if exposed to unwisely. God wants us to use our gifts and skills for His glory, which motivates me to volunteer my responses on forums. The thought does occur to me that if I lose the plot when I'm old...

    Personification of the earth in scripture.

    Back when the internet was quite new I was in a Christian bookshop owned by an acquaintance who took me to his computer and showed me a website that had him intrigued. I found myself looking at hotspots all around the world on a map where natural disasters, weather events, and human crises were...

    Personification of the earth in scripture.

    Hi @lforrest Literary devices are an area of interest for me, particularly their use in the Bible. I list the definitions of anthropomorphism, personification, and metaphor below so that their similarities can be noted, and that is exactly what their purpose is, to highlight similarities. God...

    It's time to wake Judaism up and get them Grafted back in.

    Depends how you define Judaism. The Judaisers were a thorn in Paul's side.
