John 6:27 Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.” 28 Therefore they said to Him, “What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and...

Demons can not be saved. James would never teach that. Your statement, "Satan and his demons are believers" is false. Satan questioned if Jesus is the Son of God during the temptation. James says demons believe God is One. I am certain ATP knows faith without works is dead. Here is my...

The top 1% richest in the world is equal to less than $40,000 American dollars per year. There are plenty of rich preachers because that is the average salary for a Protestant preacher in America. Many times a house is also provided for free lodging. If $1,000 dollars a month is added for rent...

I think you have steered this far enough off course...You can start a different thread if you like. I would be more than happy to discourse there. God Bless Ya!

The two sent to prepare were John and Peter. Maybe you should reread the synoptic Gospels. Irenaeus studied under Polycarp who was John's disciple . Reading that link is not thinking for myself.

Some, for instance, have suggested Lazarus, on the grounds that ‘beloved disciple’ would be an appropriate form of self-reference for one of whom it is elsewhere said that Jesus loved him (11:5, 36). Others have suggested the rich young man of Mark 10:21, on much the same ground. Still others...

Stan the one referred to here is John even though you do not believe it. Just like He loved His other disciple Lazarus. In fact Jesus loves all His disciples. 23 One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table at Jesus' side, 24 so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of...

24 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true. New American Standard Bible: 1995 update. (1995). (Jn 21:24). LaHabra, CA: The Lockman Foundation. Shalom!

And were you there to witness how Francisco approached the Bible?

I am not quite grasping what you are saying here, "Anyone who suggest or thinks that the Gospel of John is Johannine in nature, has not really studied how the gospel and epistles compare." Are you under the understanding John did not write the gospel? Then this portion, "In any event, I do not...

My point is Francisco Ribera could be correct. It is best to not be dogmatic either way! Jeremiah was not received in his day, John the Baptist was beheaded, Jesus was crucified. The two witnesses in Revelation will be killed and left in the street for all to see. Prophets are rarely accepted...

Unless God has given you His direct insight pertaining to theses issues and appointed you a prophet instilling His word in you to proclaim the truth concerning these, I think it best to not be dogmatic.

I agree. I know in my current studies I am able to look at differing opinions and see the merit in most of them. Now I must come to some type of conclusions regarding differing opinions, yet I will likely have to answer for some of the stances I have taken once I meet my Maker. This keeps me...

Raymond Edward Brown, S.S., (May 22, 1928 – August 8, 1998) was an American Roman Catholic priest, a member of the Sulpician Fathers and a prominent Biblical scholar of his era. He was regarded as a specialist concerning the hypothetical ‘Johannine community’, which he speculated contributed to...

Brown is speaking of 1 John 3:9. I could give the entire commentary, yet this would be excessive. The point being made is many do interpret descendants in this context and are lexically and grammatically correct, even though neither of us interpret it this way. His comment once again," The...

I appreciate your identification of Spirit and word both being brought fourth in this passage! B)

Regarding the translation descendants 3 of the 4 times John uses the term σπέρμα it is rendered this way. Brown states this in his commentary: In John 8:33, 37 there is a debate whether the Jews are the sperma of Abraham, while in 7:42 the tradition is cited that the Messiah is supposed to be...

We are very close to what I perceive. Here is a small quote from the OP. Divine Nature is the final addressed interpretation and the preferred rendering. This rendering keeps intact the context of σπέρμα and explains the phrase σπέρμα αὐτοῦ against a Jewish and Christian background by...
