Yes. There is only one God. And He exists in three Persons. The three Persons of the triune Jehovah are each one with each other. Yes. Yes. This is the function of the second Person of the one God, the triune Jehovah, Who, again, is one. But yes, there is one Mediator between God and man...

Well, our physical bodies, yes. We go ~ our spirit goes ~ home to be with Jesus... believers, of course... and wait for Christ's return (and ours with Him), and to be reunited with our re-constituted physical bodies, yes. This is what we sometimes call the intermediate state. And unbelievers...

Sure. Because He is. My answer would be that that question itself is very... misguided. :) I'm sure that's true, because, again, the question itself is so misguided. The question is ~ from our perspective ~ why is it so important, to "to us," but for us, that Jesus is God? And that...

Hmmmm... That we are believers, JBO, means that we are alive spiritually rather than dead ~ having been made alive in spirit by the Holy Spirit. As Paul says in Ephesians 2, speaking to believers: "God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were...

Yeah, I would avoid... well, not to name names, so, "that guy"... and his penchant for posting what can only be described as silliness. :) There is no difficulty, except for people like you who create it by twisting the text into something other than it is. Right, which, how could He regard...

Well, fine. But what happened in Genesis 19 was an actual historical event, while what is related in Revelation 20:9 is a vision ~ a vivid dream ~ metaphorical of a future event, like, as I said, Jacob's dreams concerning his brothers... who are portrayed in the dream as sheaves and then stars...

Well, many times, one does indeed have a hard time understanding his or her self... :) It probably has more to do with lack of humility and honesty with oneself more than anything. But GIFs are a pretty good communicative tool from time to time in a forum like this. :) You're admonishing me...

Full acceptance and invitation to engage is somehow a "cop out" to you? LOL! No, not at all; it is what it is. Hey, bring it, Davy. Seems to me you're the one copping out. Try me. :) Unless you're... scared... You're the one attacking, Davy. I say, take a deep breath, calm down, and...

Your question here does not (well, should not, because it does not) follow from what the text says (actually, what it seems to indicate, if not understood correctly). This question only arises when the nature of John's vision is seen as something it is not. Among other things, it is seen...

I'd love to, actually. I just know what I'd get from you. But still, sure. Always love discussing God's Word... LOL! Yes, this is exactly what you are doing, by faking incredulity and calling people idiots and making false ~ absurd, really ~ accusations and the like. The only one ranting...

In the case of folks who have already come to belief, their lives have already been changed. Water baptism does not confer salvation. The baptism administered by the Holy Spirit actually "sprinkles clean" and thus confers salvation. It is possible for the two to coincide, but still, the only...

What I just told you, Peterlag. Yes, "though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men..." The Greek word for translated to the English 'form,' Peterlag, is 'morphē.'...

Circumcision in the Old Testament was the outward sign and seal of the covenant, and as such was the fore-runner of baptism, which, since the coming of Jesus, is now the outward sign and seal of the covenant. It should not be withheld from any child of any age of believing parents, just as...

Fine, but it was a false impression. And that's your fault, Davy; I was very clear in what I said. Yes, I'm well aware. And the misimpressions and misunderstandings regarding such. Yes. Okay, good, but you might try being at least a little more understanding of what is clearly being said...

Paul says that very thing in Philippians 2:5-11. "Two wills"? Ugh. But a dual nature. Grace and peace to you. Ah, so you're reframing someone's own words and context to fit what you want it to be. Well, that's not an unprecedented event. :) LOL! Grace and peace to you.

Not sure what would give you the idea I was or am doing any such thing, Davy. Sure. Right, and we believers are no longer of the flesh ~ which is to say we are no longer dead in sin and thus still sons of the Devil, as Jesus tells those whom He is speaking in John 8... He told them that as...

Right, but if He makes Himself a man but still retains is deity in full... which He did... He can lay His life down, and then take it up again... which He also did. :) Again, the answer to the question in the original post (and adding the Holy Spirit to the question) ~ "Did Jesus raise Himself...

You know, Starise, I realize that only in the lower part of your quote here are you speaking directly to me, but I think what I'm about to say applies also to your exchange with Mr. E. I don't mean to imply that you don't have this, but merely to make a point: What is needed is a healthy...

It's a case-by-case thing for me, Starise. I try not to be overly wordy or long-winded, but I do whatever I think is called for in any one particular case. But always, at least intention-wise, in the fruit (singular) of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness...

We know that the final resurrection is physical and general to all, and that the final Judgment occurs after this final (second) resurrection. We see that in Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 25:31-46, John 5:28-29, and Revelation 20:11-15. This resurrection has two outcomes: many are resurrected to...
