    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    If you are referring to Exodus He said "I am who I am" or "I will be who I will be" is His Name (with reference to self-existence and His relationship to Israel). But the reason I called it a title is because if I said to you my name was "I will be a founder of a nation" or "I exist" would you...

    The Mark of the Beast - imagery, explanation, identification - For those who have eyes that see

    Perhaps God is keeping you in darkness for a special reason, you did not have the wisdom required to see that the UPC barcode is not the Mark. Sad!

    Tradition of men?

    How are either of these claims proven? In the first case St. John says "whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also." If by "incomplete" you mean "recognizes some truths but lacks others" then sure, but practically every religion is...

    questions about christian doctrine

    1) The doctrine of the Trinity set forth by the Lord Jesus and confirmed and meditated upon countless times in His Church has no contradictions in it. People who say this are saying it for one of the following reasons: a) they misunderstand it or are ignorant as to what it is, b) they are...

    Who Do They See???

    As the saying goes, "preach the Gospel at all times but if necessary use words."

    The Mark of the Beast - imagery, explanation, identification - For those who have eyes that see

    1) Claim that it takes wisdom to understand what person is about to say, insinuating that if you do not get it or agree you lack wisdom because they have it. 2) Lightyears leap of logic to some insane claim. Sounds about false, filled with prelest, and cringe. Behold this takes grand wisdom to...

    gender...

    There is a gender and sex distinction, so I don't think so as long as you do not deny your sex is what it is. I may very well be wrong though.

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    An operation, very ancient and common opinion, perhaps the most rational one. Very cool.

    Ezekiel Chapters 47-48 Is The Eternal Kingdom, Dont Be Deceived

    The premillennialist Fathers confessed that alternate opinions and disagreement were present in the Church and allowed. It has never been the only interpretation. This is a Patristic abuse.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    I do not claim that I have the ability to choose to love Jesus, and I edited out your content because it is worthless and not worth reading the lies of the father of lies. You misinterpreted my writings like you misinterpret the Scriptures. If you could read and instead of being obstinate about...

    Where do people go when they die?

    This is an amazing study that I will meditate on and use, thank you Amadeus.

    Where do people go when they die?

    The key to me is in defining what death is. Very commonly death is used in modern context to be a cessation of existence, but this is not the definition I am used to in a Christian context. Death to me is simply the separation of the soul and body, in other words, a sort of disintegration of the...

    Where do people go when they die?

    Indeed and it can not other wise be. For He has eternal life intrinsically but we have it conferred on us by His gracious will, He always had it and always was and is, but we came to be in time. Therefore an infinite difference is seen between His eternity and our eternity.

    Where do people go when they die?

    To my understanding depending on whether or not time is included in the age an "age" can be forever, for instance the "life of the age to come" that we receive in the Resurrection of Glory is without end, but it is called an age. But St. Paul refers to ages which have ended with the same word...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    The name does not have a known etymology and definite meaning, "He Who Is" is my personal favorite interpretation of what it means, as a stand in for all I have seen it be said to mean by scholars and interpreters. It (Yahweh and what precedes in Exodus 3) is said to mean not only that but also...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    This is true, the reason being our limited nature we can not truly know what God is in Himself, so the Saints may often say "He is beyond even existence" which is "He is beyond all that you can know and understand existence is." This can be said for all things said of God, "He is beyond all...

    I have a question that remains unanswered:

    Indeed, I take it either as a declaration of self-existence (eternal existence) or as the beginning of a statement such as "I am... the God of your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." Yahweh means the same thing. "He Who Is" on it's own, but also when added to another word such as Yahweh-Yireh...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    What did I edit out? You simply are incapable of reading clearly and misunderstood my points because of your ignorance of various terms and definitions that I was using, or the order of theology I laid out. I could lay it out again for you but your inability to comprehend basic English would...

    Where do people go when they die?

    How shall they not stand though? Could it simply be that they are said not to stand because they fall when judged, as in they are condemned? But the righteous are said to stand because they are not condemned. There are at least two senses in which to take that passage, although it is a great...
