If by "orthodox" you mean the literal definition of the word being what is generally or traditionally accepted as right or true, then yes. Jesus is the orthodox standard for Christians. That isn't to conflate the word orthodox with what the Orthodox (Catholic) Church represents, though I guess...

And one of the easiest ways to go about this is by simply controlling the language. If one controls how people talk, they control what people think, and they control what people believe. That's why 99% of what one may see on something like Fox or CNN is about agenda setting. It's often something...

I think a lot of people seem to make their library or their collection a part of their identity. A scholar wants to be seen as putting work into their study and they can't give credibility to their credentials without being well-read and having the books to prove it. Ultimately might come down...

Above you claimed that Jesus is the creator and that you are going to stick with the Christian Bible. Please quote the verse that says Jesus is the creator. Also, would you mind explaining why Jesus isn't the creator in the Christian Bible of passage Acts 4:24-27? Thanks. Also, how do you...

Please read my replies. I will write thoughtful answers that will actually address the things you say. You keep replying by repeating the very same things that I already gave answers to by using Scripture. I suggest you review post #1886 and #2078.

Thanks for sharing. I am familiar with what you mean by the "download" but for me I find I have a certain amount of control over that. I can, if you will "tune in" to a "frequency" until I find the right one. I would compare it almost like dialing in on one of those old turn-knob radios. It's a...

Sorry, I don't believe that's from God. For example, in the Bible Satan is not going to be sitting on a throne at the left hand of God. Actually, Satan (aka the devil) has an entirely different fate. What you said seems to suggest that Satan is an authority figure or someone to sympathize with...

That is not the answer about who Jesus is as revealed by the Father in heaven. Observe how Jesus praised Peter and said that his answer is what the Father revealed as the truth. Therefore Thomas is wrong and that only adds to the fact that Thomas wasn't blessed. Matthew 16 13When Jesus came...

Good morning. what I mean is it's wise to be discerning about the things we believe. I do believe it's possible to feel right while ultimately being deceived. Isn't the proof in the pudding? So many false prophets abound it's just something to be aware of. Also, what I mean is there is nothing...

I would actually be careful about "new revelation" since anyone can say something new, make it sound religious, and attach it to Christianity. The New Covenant and sacrifice of Jesus are currently still in effect. There is nothing new to add in a general sense. Most of what is available is old...

Absolutely. When God spoke to the prophets, He either communicated directly with them or through messengers. Often orally, yes, through visions or dreams. What the Bible describes as God speaking to people can be either telepathic communication or an audible voice. God can do those sorts of...

Jesus did rebuke Thomas. In John 20 Thomas had plainly stated he would never believe unless he saw the resurrected Jesus and then Jesus said that only those who have not seen, yet believe, are blessed. That means Thomas isn't blessed. John 20 24Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was...

The story of the garden is kinda what we knew all along it's just in a different format. The gist is that Adam and Even were perfect and faithful in the beginning. They were happy, beautiful, lived in peace obeying God's commands, and they did not want anything. Eventually, they disobeyed God...

Jesus said only those who believe in him with have eternal life. All others perish which is to say they pass away completely and/or are destroyed. There would be nothing left of you that is alive and conscious to experience living eternally in hell. And living forever eternally will not be dry...

God tolerates a lot of things and makes a lot of decisions that may seem counterintuitive to us. Why did God place Adam near a dangerous tree in the first place? Why did God create the world fully omniscient of how things would turn out? We don't know exactly based on Scripture. We may need to...

And yet Jesus said the Father is the only true God. Words have meaning and Jesus was right wasn't he? Now that's rare for someone to actually try to spin it into Thomas being blessed. Thomas, one who hadn't seen, was not blessed for requiring evidence of Jesus' resurrection. Thomas was not...

And yet Jesus still plainly said the Father is the only true God. He didn't get it wrong did he? Peter and John didn't say Jesus is God in Acts 4:24-27. Thomas didn't say Jesus is God anywhere. With Isaiah I guess you are referring to Isaiah 9:6 but Isaiah didn't say Jesus is God there. Who...

And yet Jesus plainly taught the Father in your Trinity is the only true (singular) God. How do you account for there being no mention of the Son and Holy Spirit there? John 17 3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Me too, but what Pope St. Clement I said about the Phoenix doesn't belong in Christianity in my honest opinion.

Brilliant. The original bird is now dead and there's a new bird. So the Father died and Jesus died, but then Jesus was resurrected, yet it's a different Jesus? This is so much worse than I previously thought. Are you Catholic?
