I still believe it is true and it did happen and I don't think that one Gospel is contradicting another I just wodnered why two woudl describe it and two woudl gloss over it but all four a right. The only part that I thought might ahve been a vision is when he ws on the Temple or or the...

I'm wondering if God ordered satan to test his son because iit was neccessary for Jesus to go through that in order to begin his ministry. The reason why I wometimes wonder if the mountain and the temple were visions is because the accounts tell us that Jesus spent his time in the wilderness...

I've been comparing the fouir accounts of Jesus' Baptism ad Public proclamation and his temptation in the wilderness and it brings up a few questions. Firstly, why do Matthew and Luke go into detail about the things that the Devil tempted Jesus with when Marka dn john seem to gloss over it...

I know what you mean about being suspicious of the spirits of dead people coming to you but as I see it those like Solomon, David, Moses and Mary are all alive in the body of Christ and in the church triumphant so it makes sense thatthey are still servants of God and could act as messengers...

I'm not trying to preach anything. It is soemthing I would never presume to do. I only cut and pasted it becuse i thought that it said it better than I could and because there is more authority in the theologians that put it together than there is in me. The 39 articles are what defines...

I don't have to prove anything to you, so you can think again if you think I'm playing that game.

Very goodI thought you'd never find out where they came from. No, I can't articulate Yes, I follow the 39 articles blindly.

I Here is what I believe about original sin: IX. Of Original or Birth-Sin. Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam, (as the Pelagians do vainly talk;) but it is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every man, that naturally is engendered of the offspring of Adam; whereby man is...

No! Like everyone else who was either born before Jesus or is not a Christian, the ancient Jews would have had original sin. Everyone is born with it and only Baptism in the name of the Trinity can remove it. So they were born with original sin which at the time they ahd no way of getting rid...

They all ahd original sin, so none of them were without sin.

Inspired or not we have to make do with English translations unless we've got the skill to read the original 1st century Greek and Aramaic as well as the Hebrew. The thing about translations is, every time you translate soemthing you loose some meaning or soemthing important gets missed out...

I thought that the only people who lived by all the laws of Moses were Pharases and Sageses. Was the foregiveness that the Jews got from the blood sacrifice on the sctrict condition that they lived 100% by the laws of Moses? Also, I won't dispute what you said as I know Jews now believe in...

That coudl explain why God favoured Abel's offering over Cain's. Was it kind of like an indulgence, but only for those who lived by all the many laws such as the Pharases and Sageses (excuse spelling). One other question: Since the ancient Jews didn't believe in any after life what was the...

This is a very interesting thread as I had never thoughth that the blood sacrifices in the Old Testament were sufficient for the forgiveness of sins.

No need to misquote me like that.

I'll tell you the truth about Hiphop! It's a load of crap Heavy metal's alright though as long as you can jsut listen to the music and not take it any further. I've listenned to Ozyy, Motorhead and Dio for years and it hasn't affected me because I only listen to the music. You see with...

Don't go putting words in people's mouths. You can't tie me down to saying that. We'll talk about that on another thread if you like as I feel we have deviated somewhat from the topic in hand.

If a man writing 2000 years ago said it is a spirit then I would assume he was drawing from his vocabularya nd experience. It is wrong, but it doesn't fully hold water in this day and age. If for example Mark said there was a spirit or demon then Mark would be drawing from his own experience...

The Bible came together in a very low tech era, so they jsut didn't have the science to explain disease and disorders, so they blamed spirits becuase they didn't udnerstand about bacteria and virusses. netiher di they understand the chemicals in the brain. The Bible was written by men, it...

They caled them evil spirits back then because they didn't know what they didn't have the science that we have now I'm still not saying demons don't exist but I would say that not every illness is caused by a demon or some kind of evil spirit. I mean when you get a cold, I bet you don't think...
