    Lol on your “Christian only” take

    Hi, You say that you have hope there is a God but you don't have knowledge that there is a God. What would it take to convince you, or give you the knowledge, that there is a God? A miraculous event that can't be explained by science? Talk to Him in the way Moses did? Fill in the blank: I...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Thank you. I wasn't aware of those. I hope @Aunty Jane will take those passages into consideration also. Respectfully, Mary

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Thanks PinSeeker, I said "in general" that is what they believed because I can't find any hard evidence in the OT that they considered the Holy Spirit as it's own separate entity. As stated in my post there is hard evidence in the NT. What I did find in my research that there are variations of...

    Who has the authority…

    Hmmmm....If getting baptized with water is only "symbolic" then why do it? How does symbol "wash away your sins" (Acts 22:16)? 1 Peter 3:21 says “baptism . . . now saves you.” How does a symbol save you Robert? Curious Mary

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Thanks Jane for that well thought out and articulate defense of 'how the Bible instructs you'. In general you are right that in the OT the Spirit was not "seen as a person or a deity". They saw the Spirit as a quality belonging to God or one of his attributes. Genesis 1:2 "a wind from God...

    Who has the authority…

    Hi Robert, So I believe you are saying that we make the interpretation for ourselves. If that interpretation, used by free will, is obviously wrong then they will not receive salvation. HOWEVER, there have been some (prophets under the law) that thru God the Truth has been revealed to them...

    Who has the authority…

    Oh.....I see what you are saying now. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide all of us into all Truth and there are men on this earth who are teaching/know the Truth but SOME Christians that hear that Truth are over-riding the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and rejecting that Truth!!! And just...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    It was a mistake for you to watch how Jesus suffered for you? Did the Apostles make a mistake when they wrote down in words for you to read how Jesus suffered for you? curious Mary

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Sooooo to show true love I SHOULDN'T see what He did for me? I should only read about it? Interesting...Where does the bible say that? @BarnyFife saw an image on video of Jesus crucified. Shame on you B5.....You did what God forbade you to do!!:(

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    You are ashamed to say you watched a video depiction of what He did for you? (You forced yourself to be ashamed....hmmmmm) Well, I don't think the Apostles were ashamed to right it down so you can feel at ease.....

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Well, since you have never seen a Protestant Church in America with statues and images you need to get out more. I won't provide you any proof that there are some, you need to get in your car and go to them... Ooops....sorry. I accidently pasted these images from, what I ALLEGE to be a...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Well, then it's settled. I lied to you since those clearly are not Protestant churches. Now we have nothing to discuss. I am wrong and you are right. I am a liar and you want to move on to another topic....instead of proving that I am a liar...you want to move on. You crack me up G2V.....Did...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Lol...do we need to be reminded of the last physical state of a loved one who died violently????????????? Well, apparently the writers of Scripture thought we needed to be reminded since they told us how he was beaten, spat upon, crown of thorns placed on his head, to weak from bloodloss and...

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Oh goodness B5, I'm not taking it personally so you seem to be getting me "wrong" also. Also, Scripture does not interpret Scripture. Scripture is what Scripture says it is: It is USEFUL for teaching, teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness. Scripture does NOT interpret...

    Who has the authority…

    chuckle chuckle...Didn't say that Bob....Read it again here: There have been BILLIONS of Christians who have lived since the time of Christ and your theory suggest that every single one of them has the authority to PROPERLY interpret Scripture. 2 Peter 3:16 which ignorant and unstable people...

    The Problem with 2 Peter 1:1

    Thanks Aunty, The Jews had no concept of the trinity because Jesus had not been revealed yet as the Messiah. They only knew God and the spirit. The spirit, along with God of course, was referenced many times in the OT. You can't have a "trinity" with only two beings; there has to be three to...

    Who has the authority…

    Completly and uttterly not logical, not true and not biblical. There have been BILLIONS of Christians who have lived since the time of Christ and your theory suggest that every single one of them has the authoirty to PROPERLY interpret Scripture.....That is not logical.

    The 10 Commandments are FOREVER

    Lol....Wait a minute, HOLD ON! Are you being serious? :p:p:p:p YOU read and agree with the interpretations of Scripture from men from the 16th century OR you read Scripture on your own and interpret it into your own truth BUT you are suggesting to me that I shouldn't accept the interpretation...
