Aaagh. Here's where I got involved! " I too see that the bible contradicts itself... but Jesus to me is a perfect picture of Love... and He's my foundation... if I built my relationship with God on the bible... or christianity... or anything other than knowing Jesus I would have written God...

Perhaps you have misunderstood me. I never once said that Salvation comes through paper and ink. For the last time, I state what I believe concerning all this: The Bible is inspired of God, infallible The Bible is the Christian's measuring rod. Using the Scripture, a person should be able to...

I didn't say that. If someone has never heard of the Gospel . . . well then it's between them and God. I have no right to condemn them. I am saying, that if we have the Bible, we MUST use it! Otherwise we might as well forget about being Christian!

Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? Rom 10:15 And how shall they...

Actually, here is the scenario. God > prophets > OT > Jesus (God manifest in flesh) > apostles > NT > OT and NT compiled into the Bible > Us The Scripture is our foundation because we don't have the apostles here with us anymore. All we have is their God-inspired writings.

So someone told you? Where did they find out about Jesus? Ultimately, the Bible is the only way to meet Jesus.

If you believe in the dual nature of Jesus Christ, the fact that he said the above is not a surprise. If you don't believe that he is God, you WILL die in your sins. You don't have to prove that the Holy Spirit is God! All you have to prove is that Jesus was the Holy Ghost! Of course, that...

Lots. You are saying Peter and Paul preached different messages as Peter was pre-Grace, Paul was the one to whom Grace was revealed first. Paul himself says otherwise. he says that he preached the gospel of Jesus! The exact same thing that the apostles did! No more, no less. Perhaps the fact...

So true. The Bible is what leads us to Jesus. We cannot find the true Jesus without the Bible nor can we find the true Jesus if the Bible is not infallible. I don't deny that the Word in John 1 became flesh! I don't deny that it is God! Robbie seems to think that I am some dimwit who imagines...

Some food for thought concerning whether Paul was given a special revelation, was the one who ushered in grace, whatever. 2Pe 3:15-16 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto...

The Oneness of God God is absolutely and indivisibly one (Deuteronomy 6:4; Galatians 3:20). In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9). He is the self-revelation of the one God, the incarnation of the full, undivided Godhead (John 20:28; I Timothy 3:16). God has...

Alright. He is a lower deity. If that does anything to ease your conscience! Ouch. Well according to Scripture, there is ONE God, the Father. If Jesus ISN'T the Father, he ISN'T God. 1Co_8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord...

Ok, i think that revelation in sense of a new dispensation is over. What we have to go by now is the Scripture. God gave the Law to the Israelites, and that was it. He didn't go on 'revealing' more truths! Jesus ushered in a new dispensation. The NT contains the teachings. Yes, we still get...

Not quite. The different religions take a few verses. If you take the whole Bible, you CANNOT get a different view! A quick example: The Trinity can be proven using a few verses. However, it is contradicted, first by the ONE God statements, and also by the fact that the Son is clearly not...

I like how you are thinking it out. I only agree a little. Firstly, I don't think Lot was worldly-minded. If you are worldly-minded, do you think you would get vexed inside day after day for several years? I don't think so. I think you would settle in. I think we don't give Lot enough credit for...

I can see what you are saying. Think about it though, what does the Bible expressly teach about God? He is ONE! Wouldn't God have told us if there were three persons that acted differently, etc? I think so. When God said he was ONE, he meant it as ONE! Interestingly, the Trinity is summed up as...

It doesn't say that he tried. He volunteered them. We cannot really know whether he really meant it. As I said, it was a custom of the land, second, we don't know if he actually would have done it, third, at best, all he did was say something wrong in the heat of the moment. Lot was...

The Church must be based on Scripture or it won't stand.

Now that I've had a look at it, you are correct. Jesus didn't actually build his church ON Peter, but Peter was the one who brought the Gospel first to the Jews, then to the Samaritans, then to the Gentiles. He was the one who unlocked the doors so to speak. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto...
