    What Is Preterism?

    I am fully aware of the Holy Spirit being a true author of Scripture. Now show me His interpretation. I agree He meant world, the word has at least seven definitions. Show me which one He meant. Maybe the Holy Spirit meant the 10th MW definition?: "the sphere or scene of one's life and action"...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Organized post for clearer response. A1) The word for sending. "The Father sends" and "I send." A2) He died after giving up His own life. "Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!' And having said this he breathed his last." He announced what...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Receiving a promise doesn't mean He didn't have it before, like I said, immanent/economic distinction. Moreover Jesus saying "my God" is proof that He does have a God, His Father, it does not mean He is not the natural Son of God. If you are going to discuss the Trinity please do learn what we...

    What Is Preterism?

    It's an Orthodox priest, and he's presenting what he thinks the opinion of the Church is, which others would disagree on. "Age" is translated as "world" a lot throughout history, and can mean different things. For instance one of it's definitions is "a particular period of history," such as...

    the one who has the power to save the innocent from people like freiza

    Son Goku... I mean, the Son of God! SG: You can destroy planets but you can never destroy what I am friend. Frieza: Y-you... what... what are you!? SG: I am the hope of the Universe! I am the answer to all living things that cry out for peace! I am protector of the innocent! I am the light in...

    What Is Preterism?

    The word there is "aeon" or "age." The age of the Mosaic Law did in fact end.

    Global Warming Shock. Antarctica Posts Coldest Winter Since Records Began

    This doesn't change all the ice that has melted there, and doesn't change the trend towards a warmer world as a whole. In other words: cool (literally) but meaningless when it comes to climate change.

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Not to mention I personally think it is quite fitting that this be so (He not be mentioned like this), for it is "in the Spirit" that we come to approach the Lord or even know Him as Lord (1 Cor 12:3) or bear witness of Him (Acts 1:8), and the Scriptures are inspired through the Spirit in this...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    That's amazing. Personally I just enjoy seeing the numerous interpretations and considering them in comparison to the Fathers and so on, it is educational and I learn new things from seeing these engagements or interacting myself. One amusing point is that this whole debate does not prove or...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Acts 2:33 does not say all that, and the Spirit coming upon Jesus does not mean He did not have it before that point.

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    How does this prove that He did not have the Holy Spirit but not simply that He sent the Holy Spirit in time? On top of this it only proves Jesus' divinity, for He pours out the Holy Spirit as He said He would send the Holy Spirit, but the same is said of the Father by St. Paul, which shows...

    People long for a better world. The Bible promises:

    Indeed, it is happening even now and will happen eternally in the Renewed Earth.

    Was Jesus lying? What are your thoughts?

    He was not lying. The first quotation from St. Matthew refers to His Passover and His transfiguration, which was seen. The last two quotes from St. Mark and St. Matthew refer to His judgment on Jerusalem, which happened and some of the disciples were aware of (St. John for instance who lived...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Not sure what you are speaking of, all that is in the passage is "I am that I am," "I am," "Yahweh/He Who Is," "God of your ancestors," and "God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." I have already mentioned all of these things.

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    He didn't. The Son isn't the same Person as the Father. He prayed to the Father. Jesus is God because He is the natural Son of God by generation (which is not creation), and natural fathers always generate persons who have the same nature as themselves.

    Will Jesus Christ Rule On This Earth In A Millennium, With A (Rod Of Iron)?

    Amen, it is a fierce judgment and not a reign upon this Earth physically. I am not even sure where people got that idea as Him being on this Earth like a human King ruling it during a millennium is not present in the Scriptures.

    10 Sins We Commit Without Knowing

    Lord have mercy on us all. Psalm 50 (51 in Hebrew): Have mercy on me, O God, in the greatness of Your love, and in the abundance of your tender mercies, wipe out my offence. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I am well aware of my iniquity, and my sin is...

    questions about christian doctrine

    No problem. And just a heads up: the explanation you just received for why the Trinity is apparently blasphemous and violates the Commandment of God is actually not Trinitarian teaching at all, so it falls into one of the A-B-C I laid out in my post for options of why that is. Compare it with...

    Tradition of men?

    Do you only recognize the books Jesus quoted from then? For the books He quoted from are included in many canons. And I do not think Post-Temple Rabbinic Judaism has ever been true. The religion of Adam, Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, Malachi, Jesus, the Apostles, and us is...

    Do you respect and admire the Amish people and their way of life?

    I admire them and think more people should emulate them in general. The peace that sort of life provides for prayer is amazing, and the separation from the world can give rest from undue influences. It's kind of like living a monastic life except for people with families.
