Stupid question. A denial that they did wrong. Oh sure... No big deal.... Matthew 10:33 KJV But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Peter did "simply" that. He was talking about her... She showed up late for Church and expected...

It rebuked him, for sure. But only by evidence. Remember, Thomas never put his hands on his flesh. Did Jesus rebuke Peter in John 21:15-18? Did Jesus rebuke his mother in Matthew 12:48-50? I mention these two scriptures because you and I have debated them before. It's very odd you are so...

Right! Well, he was, but not anymore than the others. After all... No one uses the term, "Denying Peter", do they?

That is my point exactly! Why go there? Well, not with the spices, but because Jesus said he would rise. Wouldn't you have gone? Well Jesus didn't give them instructions on what to do or where to wait (as far as I know). Otherwise, they may have.

There isn't a scripture that says Mary the mother went there. A "Mary the mother of James and Joses" went, and that might have been her, as the Bible says Jesus had brothers by that name. I believe it to be so, but I must stop short of saying it is a fact.

My bad... Mary the mother of Jesus isn't apart of the events from the day of the crucifixion to the end of the Gospels (as far as I can see, and isn't mentioned again until Acts 1:4). The last we see if her was when Jesus left her in the care of "the disciples Jesus loved" and she was in his...

Jesus went to raise Lazarus; Thomas wanted to go to die with him. Admirable, but he wasn't listening to Jesus. He was listening to his fellow disciples' fear. Jesus kind of shrugged off the threats and went anyway. This is actually more doubting. It's admirable, but so out of tune with...

No, many don't believe that. What Noah preached was important, but no... This isn't all about what Noah preached. I gave you verses, accept them or dismiss them. I care not.

I like country music. 1970's version of it. Yet, it's pretty depressing. From the 1980's on up it was popped. That is, it became pop music/country. Early Hank Williams Jr, Loretta Lynn, Crystal Gayle, Tom Jones, David Allan Coe, Patsy Cline, Edgar Allen Poe and Willie Nelson are real...

I am very familiar with Acts 2. I can quote the whole sermon of Peter from memory. Literally... I kid you not. But no, I don't have an answer for that other than a verse I quoted earlier which says many of the saints rose with him (Matt 27:52). Now Peter did say David is not ascended. But...

1978 or 1979.… I was 8 or 9 years old. A childhood friend of mine and I went to a community center to hang out, play some games and have fun. We ended up wandering into an evangelist's teaching. He was talking some "crazy stuff" about how recently a guy was drowning and a mysterious guy...

Again, God's people aren't going to be judged at the white throne. They will be judging. That is, as a witness and they don't even have to open their mouth to do so. Read Rev 20:4. Their testimony is that they put God first. God can say, "Well, these folks believed and did it! Why couldn't...

That has actually already been dealt with. The OT saints, including David and Abraham, were preached to while they were in hell, or if it's more palatable to you, purgatory or the heart of the earth. They rose with Jesus (Matt 27:52)

Well that comes from 2 Peter 3:9 and is almost never quoted in proper context. It's not speaking of all human beings. It's speaking to "us-ward". Thus, Peter is not speaking about all humans, but to the Body of Christ. The entire human race has an invitation, but the promises are only for...

Yea maybe... But that doesn't make it false. It's not an easy concept to grasp. But that doesn't make it false. Well, we aren't. We are not judged according to our works of the flesh. Our nice works don't bring us closer and our bad one's don't put us farther. Athiests have no chance in...

Yes, that is true. The bottom line is that if you accept the covenant of Grace through faith, you will not be judged by your works of the flesh. Make no mistake: all (even the faithful) will be judged. The faithful are not going to be judged at the white throne (see Rev 20:4). Judgment for...

On the surface, it would seem so. But our works won't help us. Good or bad. We are judged by our faith, not works. If we are judged by our works (all of which are filthy rags, which by interpretation is a menstrual rag) we are all lost. On the flip side, we are called to do "good works"...

OSAS seems to me to come from the notion that God has predestinated people to be his sons. That is, before they were born (and even before the world was created) God had it Planned out beforehand. To which, there is plenty of biblical support (Eph 1, Romans 8, Isa 46:10, for starters). OSAS...

Well, Pete is out... So it's a moot point. I am a conservative and unlikely to vote for a liberal, so he was not a candidate I would vote for anyway. I would vote for a homosexual, and even one who claimed to be a Christian. But IF his campaign was based on his homosexuality, I wouldn't...

Seasoned, I wish you well in your study on this. Here is something to look into: 1 Cor 13. The KJV uses the word "charity" several times, but some versions probably use the word "love", as the original Greek root for that word in 1 Cor 13 is "agape". In fact, even the KJV notes it isn't...
