    Was Jesus crucified?

    He said she said .... One of the things that needs to be considered is extrabiblical accounts (at the time) There are many many writings from first hand accounts of the crucifixion .... And I can promise you if it didn't happen ... it would have been written about. I don't need...

    There is no spiritual gift called "the gift of tongues".

    Well, this we can agree on. Verse 7 of 1Cor 12 explicitly states that all of those things listed in verses 8-10 are the manifestation (or evidence) of the gift of holy spirit which we were given at the new birth. Healing is worded as “gifts of healing” because every healing is a gift …but it is...

    The thief on the cross was born of water and of the Spirit — Rightly dividing the word of truth.

    Thank you for the inspirational words of encouragement …they are enlightening. When someone retorts such as you did (with no scriptural reference) I know I have struck a nerve in religious doctrine. Religious teachings (when matched against Truth) don’t have a leg to stand on…. so the daggers...

    Embracing Doctrinal Diversity - Unity in diversity

    I always look for something that can be a positive in varying denominations ...which many times is just the fact the they do get people to accept Jesus Christ as their savior. But when it comes to doctrines I draw a hard line...God's word and God's way or no dice. Jesus did not say in Jhn 8:32...

    The thief on the cross was born of water and of the Spirit — Rightly dividing the word of truth.

    I don’t disagree with most of what you wrote….. but it wasn’t either of the thieves that were forgiven….both of them cast the same in His Jesus’s teeth. Mat 27:44 The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. The word thieves should be translated robbers. The...

    Many today doubt that God exists, what convinces you that He does?

    If you had revelation from God ...yes Belief is within the confines of the written word ...or revelation from God.

    Many today doubt that God exists, what convinces you that He does?

    God rescued me seconds before death... He raised my daughter from the dead ...anytime I forget those and all of the incredible miracles and blessing He has done or have a moment of doubt ... I speak in tongues ... that reassures me that I have salvation and God is real.

    Selecting A Denomination

    Religions or denominations …. do not save. No matter what their ritual, policies, laws, rules, or beliefs are (which almost all religions have roots in the salvation by works.) if it doesn’t align with the Word of God, it’s simply man trying to improve on what Jesus Christ accomplished...

    Why did Jesus accuse these Jews of wanting to kill him?

    Jesus was speaking to a group of people among who were Pharisees V13. And while some believed ....the Pharisees were a special case. I won’t elaborate on this but Jesus calls them out in Jhn 8:44… Ye are of your father the devil …. The significance of that is much more involved, and Jesus...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    As you stated ….indoctrination from things we have been taught is sometimes a hurdle that appears to cause trepidation among some. This can cause a believer to read what they believe as opposed to reading what was written ….and believing that. There are many subjects and accounts that The Word...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    Sounds like some bizarre happenings ….It makes me wonder if these people ever read 1 Corinthians 14 which clearly sets the proper order of tongues and prophecy in group meetings (church). They seem to break all the doctrinal rules laid out in that chapter. When I first spoke in tongues….I had...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    I am just using Gods word ….and while I agree it may be a misnomer, as typically no one understands the tongues, but I have to believe if done correctly and since God uses the word interpretation.... that is what it is. I have heard the extended interpretations, but if you listen you can...

    problem related to praying in tongues

    It would be difficult to state if the tongues today are the same as in the 1st century, I would assume so but that is not my department … that one belongs to God. The most common misunderstanding of interpretation is ….how does the interpretation take place? Due to the wording in the KJV it...

    Temptation of Jesus

    I need to apologize ….I did not see the question mark at the end of your statement …and took it as an accusation…That was the reason for my somewhat snide response. Sorry about that.

    Temptation of Jesus

    You and Jack can keep feeding your assessment off each other …. whatever you want to believe …if that is where you want to hang your hat. I have addressed Thomas’s quote as seen below… No place does Jesus call himself God or god/man. And because someone addresses someone with the title does not...
