It wasn't a question. Heck, it wasn't even a sentence! But in any case, I'm still not interested. You win.

Huh? Joseph was Jesus's step father. Not his biological father and certainly not his spiritual father, but the man who took on fatherly duties in raising a child and providing for the household. Even still, Jesus said he was doing his Father's business when Mary and Joseph were looking for...

As was supposed (Luke 3:23)

I would say certainly by the age of 12, but maybe earlier than that. Luke 2:49 says Mary and Joseph couldn't find him and Jesus said he was doing his fathers business. And he may or may not have been sassy about it, by the way. It certainly seems that Mary was scolding him and even...

I rarely ask entrapping questions, but this is going to be one of those times: When a Jewish person goes on a one day fast, is it for 24 hours or just a portion of a day, thus he or she gets to count it as a whole day? If they go on a 3 day fast -- both night and day - can they fast a couple...

Hello April This is one of those topics that comes up every year, and I've debated it many times before. The big question is whether 3 days and 3 nights means a literal 3 days and 3 nights (72 hours) or if even a portion of a day counts as a whole day. In the latter case a small portion of...

Well you may have to clarify the question. Its seems to me the OP and those responding to it are speaking of grace through faith, and that we are no longer under the law. It seems to me that you want something from the gospels (not the epistles) to prove what the epistles say are true...

My goodness, they didn't even follow the plot line! Pepe is a skunk. He stinks, literally! A female cat geta paint on her back and Pepe mistakes her for a skunk. He romances her, but she thries to get away because he smells bad. Through all the shenanigans, she gets chemicals on her and she...

Well, I love him. He's on my mind continuously. That's my half of the story. If you want to know how Jesus feels about me, you will have to ask him.

Well, apparently white knights wear black hats! I dont3 know the whole situation, but was there anything in what I said that you disagree with?

I believe in ghosts... After all, there is a Holy Ghost, isn't there? I'm a bit lazy now and don't feel like looking up the verse, but I think there was a time that Saul went to a witch to summon up the deceased Samuel. It actually worked! He was summoned and was pretty pissed off about it...

My goodness, April! I hope all is ok with you. Message boards can be brutal! I suspect that many people wouldn't act in person they way they do on boards. There is no physical connection, its all digits and letters on our phone or computer screen. Furthermore, you can be rude and not have...

If that's you in your avatar, I think you are very pretty! Its a tough question to answer. I have been married for almost 20 years and my wife dresses pretty conservatively, although maybe not at the same level as a Mennonite. I got married at 33 or so, and was figuring out that character and...

Sorry... That came off as a bit harsh. Frustration got the better of me. I maintain that John was not directly talking about false teachers. He doesn't do so in any of his epistles. If I am wrong, please direct me to where he specifically points them out as both Peter and Paul did. I wish...

Oh my goodness.. Renniks: have fun in la la land. I no longer have the patience to deal with you.

You are still grasping at straws. You are still trying to argue a point that has already been settled. "Umm... This verse is talking about false teachers! This verse never says never!" Whats going to be your next excuse?

Ok. Not of us vs never of us... You grasped at a straw and caught it. Big deal! Your original position was that this was talking about false teachers. Even if it was (and ot isn't and thats why you changed your attack) you have no foundation. Thw fact is this verse says that if they were...

Well even if that were true, so what? They didn't stay in stay so no... These verses say they were never of us.

No it doesn't! While yes, false teacher are included in this group, John doesn't list them specifically. He specifically says that antichrist is anyone who denies Jesus is the Son. Teachers are included, but not directly pointed out. John was also speaking of those who refused to love the...

I am happy to hear that you recognize that God intercedes. He certainly does! He interceded with Joseph, Jonah and Paul to name a few prominate cases. In Paul's case, he said he was called out in due season. In other words, Jesus interceded at the proper time according to HIS purpose...
