    Walking in love?

    I don't profess religion Robbie. I am simply a Believer. I could into detail concerning Ecclesiastes, but I can't see the point. I have given my explanation, of course you probably have some excellent reason, even though you haven't shown it yet, other than it's a flaw in the Bible. Ok...

    Why is God So Mean?

    I am exiting here. Like FHII has said, this thing has snowballed. I have stated a view that gives the only reason why we must go to Scripture. If others are not interested, fine. The 'contradiction', is it really contradicting? The apostles were faced with two choices. To obey man and disobey...

    Walking in love?

    Wow! So they are your contradictions? I believe that there is one very simple answer to them! Different dispensations! God dealt with man in different ways! They don't actually contradict in the sense that we have been talking about. When I say contradictions, I mean genuine contradictions...

    God inspired the Bible.

    Walking in love?

    That's a great explanation! Makes sense too! Umm, I'll need the references. Just from face value, I'd say that Jesus was referring to the golden rule. Do unto others as you would them do to you. Paul was saying that one who is spiritual will line up all things and test them to see if they are...

    Remember Lot

    Very interesting! I hadn't thought in the same way as you, but it is so true. Lot must have felt like an absolute failure as he left Sodom. I think that is what prompted him to go to Zoar. At least he managed to save that city. The story of Lot is a powerful reminder for us of just how much...

    Why is God So Mean?

    Actually, that was a saying I remember from some book. I think it's pretty true. We learn through repetition. I didn't say the bible gives life. When the devil uses Scripture, he misuses it. As I have previously said, anyone who misuses Scripture can be cut by the very same double-edged...

    Walking in love?

    Hmmm. Interesting case. Taken from Gill's commentary on the Bible "Proverbs 26:5 Answer a fool according to his folly,.... The Targum is, "but speak with a fool in thy wisdom;'' and the Syriac version, "yea, speak with a fool according to thy wisdom;'' which would at once...

    Walking in love?

    Seems like you just hit the nail on the head. :)

    Why is God So Mean?

    Let's go to another Scripture: Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. The Holy Ghost is not teaching us something new. It is merely...

    Walking in love?

    His love was evident in that when Noah went on board the ark, it remained that way for a WHOLE week! And before that, for one hundred years, Noah was preaching! What more could God do? The bottom line is: Love demands judgement. Ultimately, if man spurns God's love long enough, he will be...

    Praise the Lord. :)

    Why is God So Mean?

    True. The words that Jesus has spoken, which we find in the NT, will judge us.

    The Genesis Flood

    Hey, I like that!

    Why is God So Mean?

    2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. One's interpretation must line up with ALL Scripture, or it is...

    Why is God So Mean?

    Scripture is ONLY proof of right as long as the person believes it to be infallible and inspired by God. Otherwise it is spineless. If one believes the Scripture to be of God and infallible, what is stated as sin is sin, and what is stated as right is right, and so forth. It is proof of right...

    Why is God So Mean?

    I don't believe that Jesus is inside me. I know he is inside me! I still need the Scripture which he has protected down through the centuries however so I can remain saved amid this crazy world! According to the Scripture, MANY false spirits have gone into the world. The only way I can know that...

    Why is God So Mean?

    True. Something to note about when Jesus said, "I never knew you." was that they were doing it all in HIS name! I think we have to be careful, because those who were turned away were professing to know Jesus. They didn't have the right one. How do we know we have the right Jesus? Scripture.

    The Genesis Flood

    Some issues here. If the Flood was not a literal event, then what does that make the Scripture? The Scripture makes it clear that the WHOLE earth was flooded. If such a thing didn't happen as Scripture stated, we cannot rely on the Scripture because it has a serious flaw in its history! I...

    Why is God So Mean?

    Oh. What I was saying in that sentence was that in our age, there is one way ultimately that we can find out about the real Jesus: Scripture. We don't have any eyewitnesses alive, obviously, and the other records of Jesus . . . are either warped (the koran) or barely mention him. I definitely...
