    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    Physically _ begotten, born of the virgin Mary ... but not His Spirit. He was with the Father in the beginning. For "in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God ... and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us." John 1:1 &14 ..."who being the brightness of His...

    I just gotta know.....if one will answer....lol

    1. No, but we should use something because if you have a nice Amish Oak kitchen table and nice marble coffee tables, you don't want coffee stains. 2. Yes. Covid got the rest of the lazy people to develop that habit too! 3. My wife won't let me, she gets rid of it. I'll use my towel for couple...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    Your analysis sounds good. But how does the Antichrist murder two churches filled with millions of people who are supposed to lie dead in the streets of Jerusalem? It doesn-t fit the story. The two witnesses are the ones who have supernatural powers, causing droughts, plagues and fire comes out...

    We’re the two witnesses from the past?

    Nope. The two witnesses preach and evangelize the Jews during the Great Tribulation for 1260 days. This supports the remnant Jewish population that is saved in Romans 11. The two witnesses are murdered by the Antichrist and left dead in the street for 3 1/2 days, while the world - filled with...

    They are without excuse

    I am not sure I follow ... Hell reward? Wages just means judgment. Jesus paid the price for 1/3 of the population, maybe more? But remember narrow is the gate to life, wide is the way to destruction. It's life in Christ or death. He is our Savior and that is what we are saved from.

    They are without excuse

    @ VictoryinJesus Right, God gave them over, He let them go _ to their own demise, DESTRUCTION. And destroy means to "put an end to", annihilate. The wages of sin is death. And death is both physical and spiritual. Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the...

    They are without excuse

    I quote John MacArthur all the time, a great teacher. But I too have disagreements only with some of his teaching and style. A couple are: He believes that spiritual gifts stopped in the1st Century. That is wrong! He also admitted to being a 5-point Calvinist. I can't abide with that. Also, his...

    They are without excuse

    Knowing someone does not mean you believe in them. I know who Joe Biden is. Teenage gangsters ir drug addicts know who their parents are, yet did not believe what they taught them about good and evil. They dishonored them, did not abide in them. Many of them die young. The context of Romans...

    They are without excuse

    Faith and belief are inseparable. "Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, a conviction of things not seen." That is believing, based on evidence and you move forward with that certainty. So being unfaithful is not believing that "God causes all things to work for good". Yes one may believe...

    They are without excuse

    Compassion for brothers is doable, yet we fail at times. Loving your enemies is even more difficult. We are sinners. Jesus is like the Ark in that OSAS and so once you are in: "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor...

    They are without excuse

    He chastised those He loves. Turning them over to Satan for a lesson is temporal. He did that with Job. But letting someone go forever is quite a different thing. Many have lived a life of hell on earth, persecuted by Satan and in the end came full circle back to God.

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Well, we've had our bouts. I probably deserved some arrows of animosity shot at me. I have a tendancy to provoke people. Don't recall whether it was about Amillennialism, Non-Trinitarian, Christian Science or the Sabbath? I remember teasing you, telling you to go ask Andy for advice! ;) We can...

    They are without excuse

    Romans 1:18-32 is talking about unbelievers whom "God let's go and gives them over to their sinful lives. These are the reprobates, not believers. "Since the beginning ..." is a reference to just about all humanity except 8 saved in the Ark. But after that anyone who continues to reject...

    They are without excuse

    "THEY" are sinners that never repent, they continously reject and resist God. They are irredeemable/ reprobate. God let them go, (gave them over) to what they desire. He gave them ample opportunities to repent, He gave them all that is observed in the universe and all that is unseen and so they...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Jesus took pause in presenting that concept: Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves...

    Unity of the faith - at what cost?

    Hi BarneyFife, how are ya? We can be united _ in Christ _ on a basic level. Remember when we were first drawn to God and He lifted the veil of blindness? We heard or read about the gospel and believed. We were young infant Christians and believed in God, the Creator and the Holy Spirit convicted...

    Looking for Jesus according to John

    Why don't you show us each scripture that pertains to Jesus fighting against corruption (in the gospels) without the Greek and Strongs? Actually maybe just save that for when you start the thread, "Looking For Matthew chapter 29" and I'll catch ya later!

    Looking for Jesus according to John

    I didn't pick up on that story about Jesus - "fighting corruption when He was on earth". He came as the "suffering servant", the 'Prince of Peace", "The Lamb Who takes away the sins of the World". John the Baptist, probably wondering why he was in prison, asks the disciples to ask Jesus a...

    Looking for Jesus according to John

    All this Greek and Strongs cut and paste is really tedious and quite unnecessary. We can refer to them for specific words. Spare us all having to read through a multitude of pages to get to your point. We know the story and history. The whole irony in this is that you, pretending to be a...

    @TinMan @MatthewG "... But for Adam no suitable helper was found. So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man...
