Jesus violated the religious leaders' rules concerning how the Sabbath was to be kept. That was the issue from Jesus' perspective, not whether or not the Sabbath should be kept. Jesus said it was totally within bounds to do good on the Sabbath(Matt. 12:12). It is especially true when it came to...

You are proving why trintiarianism is illogical. A human being is a soul, and the spirit is the means through which people can understand, appreciate, and acquire knowledge. In other words, the human spirit is brain power that allows us to exist as a superior life form to animals. The Holy...

I am not afraid of your false god or false brethren, so your threats mean nothing to me.

Teaching things that are contrary to the Bible is hardly the same as harmlessly favoring one flavor of ice cream over another. This is a ridiculous comparison that is fueled by equally ridiculous logic. If someone is teaching contrary to the Bible, it's because they're rejecting what the Source...

Paul said that the Father is superior to Christ in authority: "But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God." - 1 Cor. 11:3 Paul says that Christ is not, nor has He ever been, His Father's equal. We see this again in Rev...

- The NT Church is spiritual Israel(Gal. 6:16, Rom. 2:29, Rev. 2:9. 3:9) - Egypt was symbolic of sin and this world - The Pharaoh was a type of Satan who held Christians in bondage to sin prior to God rescuing them - The Pharaoh and his armies' efforts to recapture the Israelites were symbolic...

Paul is not talking about salvation at all in that passage. Verses 25-26 proves this where Paul begins to talk about Christ being the perfect sacrifice for sins. In verse 24, Paul was simply elaborating on why he stated in verse 20 that nobody can be forgiven by keeping the 10 commandments. An...

None of those passages disprove what OP said. The people in those passages had faith in Jesus' ability to heal them, and they acted on that faith. That's the kind of faith James and Paul spoke of. Why is it that a concept this simple continues to elude people's understanding?

I'm going to prove to you that you have no idea what you're talking about, even though you confidently accuse me of having zero evidence. 1. Dan. 9:27 says the Messiah would die in the "middle of the week". Guess what? Wednesday is the middle day of the week. 2. Matt. 27:46,50 clearly places...

*Facepalm* James clearly mentioned that Moses' writings were read to the Gentiles every Sabbath in Acts 15:21. It doesn't get any clearer than that. Hebrews says the New Covenant is based on better promises, not better laws. This is a prime example of what Peter talked about when he warned that...

Jesus, Paul, John, and James all taught faith + works. The problem isn't that someone is teaching a "works-based" gospel. The problem is that you simply want a Christianity that allows you to sin with impunity. God didn't lower the standard for His own Son, so what makes you so special that He...

Catholics and Protestants regularly construe Paul's words where he teaches against the Orthodox Jews' traditions as him teaching against the idea that God's laws should be kept. So no, it's not slander. That's the truth. It is the Bible that ultimately condemn those groups' religions as false...

Acts shows the Holy Spirit being given at the moment of true conversion, so your theology needs plenty of work. You're arguing from a place of personal belief and not what the Bible says. James, Jesus, and Paul all agreed that obedience is proof that someone's faith is alive and valid. The fact...

Num. 23:19 doesn't say God can never become a man or that He would never become man. It says that He doesn't need to repent like men need to because He never sins and always keeps His promises.

You are not wrong. The 10 commandments are for all people to keep for all time. Catholics and Protestants are tremendously skilled at using slick, religious-sounding arguments to deceive people into thinking God's commandments don't apply to them because they have been completely inoculated with...

Paul unequivocally stated in Eph. 2:20 and 2 Tim. 3:16-17 that biblical Christianity consists of the apostles and prophets' writings. Jesus said the same exact thing in Matt. 4:4 and Luk. 4:4 where He said man is to live by every word that came from the mouth of God. Are the people who believe...

Americans think that what happens in Europe won't have any direct effect on them, but the future is about to prove them wrong again. Americans spent decades thinking that the problems in the Middle East were never going to effect them directly, even when it was no secret that the violent Islamic...

You ironically defeated your own argument by quoting Christ. You state with such confidence that Jesus never said it, and yet the fact that He told His disciples to keep the Passover in "remembrance" is a clear indication that it was supposed to be observed as a memorial of the day He died. They...

Now look at what Paul said in Eph. 2:10: "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." It is true that a Christian is saved by faith, but biblical faith doesn't exclude obeying God. Too many people like to...

If that was the case, the explain why Jesus placed the responsibility of law-keeping squarely on His followers in Matt. 5:19-20: “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches...
