Yes, thank you, Farouk. Jesus is the Greater Moses and the Greater Elijah, just as He is the Greater David: We now are under the law of Christ rather than the Mosaic Law, because the Law given to Moses on Mt. Sinai made nothing perfect (Hebrews 7:19) Jesus is the One prophesied about, as He...

No, thanks; I've paid quite enough attention to your... stuff. :) Well I don't "subscribe to the Kenotic Doctrine," Pierac. I never did and never will. Kenoticism teaches that the divinity of the Son of God was somehow lost or lessened when the Lord took on human flesh and entered our...

They think they do, yes. Regardless of which side of this issue they stand on. Sure. You think that; so be it. What's important is observing it ~ remembering it and keeping it holy, as commandment number four says. We have a word for trying to get every jot and tittle right: legalism. Not...

No, that's the only part of your whole diatribe (or whatever it was) I actually read. :) But yeah, even so, you and mister Tigger and some others here would get along famously. :) You'd make a good little JW, I think. :) Well, sometimes yes, and sometimes not so much ~ which is true of...

Agreed. :) But it does say that faith is the (God-given) assurance of things hoped for, the (God-given) conviction of things not seen. And, God is a plurality. Not at all. I did say I was being somewhat facetious, but instructive nonetheless. Consider it a PinSeeker parable. :) Grace and...

It is indeed God's kindness that leads us to repentance, SBG. Thanks be to God. Grace and peace to you!

See, I agree with Dropship here, Pierac. And you, apparently, except I disagree that we "have no say," but our being members of God's elect does not depend on "our say," but on God's. As Paul says, "it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy" (Romans 9:16). But...

I've heard enough from you, Peirac, so I'm skipping over everything you wrote except this: I am encouraged to hear that you're not a Jehovah's Witness, but there are other groups of folks that believe along the same cultic lines that they do, and you seem to be... in one of those. Grace and...

No, that would be faith, which, as the Bible says, is the assurance (given by God, via His Holy Spirit) of things hoped for, the conviction (again, given by God, via His Holy Spirit) of things not seen. But we can see it in earthly things, too, as what can be known about God is plain to us...

Ah, well there's what we understand to be "inspired" ~ like, "Oh yeah, I was really inspired and I did this awesome thing..." :) But for something to be inspired ~ breathed in ~ by God, that's an entirely different... much, much higher... thing. :) There is nothing written or said that is...

LOL! Yeah, a talking donkey would surely throw me for a loop... :) I appreciate what you say here, SBG, and am certainly not debating it, but just a question that comes to mind: Don't you think the Holy Spirit "speaks" to you through urgings and convictions and circumstances you encounter...

Not at all. But on that note, I'm trying to imagine being ignorant (or simple-minded, or hard-headed) enough to think that trinitarians are not monotheists, but it's quite hard... :) Grace and peace to you.

"Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" [Isaiah 6:3] Grace and peace to all.

Hmmm, I see... :) Are you getting at the tree of life, Earburner? If so, then that's good... :) Grace and peace to you.

Well, it's not "the opposite," really, Inexplicable. It's just... made better, in the words of the writer of Hebrews. By God Himself, in the Person of Jesus. Grace and peace to you.

Ohhh... yes they did, especially Moses in Genesis 1 and Jesus in John 14. But they all did. Yes, Jews are monotheists, which is good ~ and so are believers in the triune Jehovah, despite claims to the contrary by various folks. With ethnic Jews, though ~ and I say ethnic Jews, because ethnic...

They most certainly did, from Moses to Malachi. But as Jesus said, representing Himself in His parable in Luke 16 in the person of Abraham, "If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets..." (the entire Old Testament), "...neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead." I'll...

Hmmm... why do you ask that, Earburner? Grace and peace to you.

There is... some... good, here. Some... :) No thanks. I'll just re-post a few things I said earlier, and that should be quite sufficient. Oh, and, these are my own words, rather than mindless C&Ps... "That Jesus is the Son of God is not disputed. But Jesus is also, JohnPaul, the Son of...

There seem to be some good and bad in this statement ~ not necessarily is, but seems to be ~ so I'm not going to address this specifically except to clear the air on the things being spoken of here: God is never to be associated with anything in our temporal existence, even fire; to do so is...
