    Three different GREEK words are interpreted as "discernment" in scripture. Your use in 1Cor 12:10 of a "spiritual gift" definition ("discerning of spirits") is not correct in 1Cor 2:14. 1CO 12:10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning/diakrisis of...

    The word GENESIS means 'origin' or 'beginning'. When God speaks of "the beginning" He is speaking of the originating point of the subject in question. In Genesis 1:1 "in the beginnings" is plural. In 'the beginnings' we know the "OLD SERPENT"which is the devil and Satan" didn't create himself...

    That is a bad teaching from the nominal churches theology. I'm only going to name a FEW verses that disagree. I pretty sure you can't name one supporting it's not attainable. 2CO 13:11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect,.. KJV, YLT 2TI 3:16* All scripture is given by inspiration...

    Now there is a HEART revealing ATTITUDE. For the 10 years after I first studied this doctrinal POV I always, at least HOPED it was true. Because it at least spoke of a Jesus who was more loving and more forgiving than I was indoctrinated to believe in. MAT 5:44 But I say unto you, Love...

    Not a bible quote. Ashamed of your source? Still a very true statement,though. Just needs a little LIGHT shined on its shortcoming. 1JO 2:2* He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. 2434 hilasmos: atonement, i.e. (concr.)...

    Actually you don't have to wait....says the bible...for the last millennia . ;) 2CO 4:4* In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the likeness of God. And this verse above...

    You may have missed it In post 1029. 12 said; "These will reign with Jesus in His kingdom. Then afterwards ALL will respond to the invitation to enter into Father's kingdom and this reunion party will never end."

    I agree.....but....;When the 'bible says' isn't the bible 'speaking'....it is the spoken word 'written'....IMO. And when it is written the 'first time' it can no longer be a present progressive tense "proceedeth from the mouth" word.. And every time one 'prophesies 'today, it is a word from...

    "Threw the book at them." That's funny. Two pages really doesn't even make a pamphlet IMO. :p I guess my POV is this; And "inspired" word is not a spoken word. Neither does it mean that God directed every stroke, jot and tittle of what the AUTHOR wrote. 1CO 7:10 To the married I (Paul) give...

    Not wanting to offend, but just asking; Do you really believe that God or Jesus ‘wrote’ anything down in ‘the bible’? I think the bible says “all Scripture was INSPIRED”. I see that as totally different from actually written. I do think the tablets of stone on mount sinai were actually’...

    Great question. I'd say we're not talking about the prophets of the OLD covenant. We're talking about the prophets of the NEW covenant. What did Jesus say would happen to the stones of the OLD temple? GONE with the judgment of GOD through the armies of TITUS. WHY?.....because the...

    Steven!!! You left out my favorite BOAT in the ocean of UNIVERSALISM....that being ULTIMATE RECONCILIATION. Shame on you St. Steven. :hmhehm Oh well, at least we're in the right OCEAN now. Those floating around in the OCEAN of DENOMINATIONAL-ISM simply have not the eyes to see what we see...

    Biden - It's not Easter! It's Transgender Day!

    I know you tagged me for this a few pages back, but; EPH 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: IMO, God has seen the end from the beginning and "according to HIS purpose...

    Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?

    I wasn’t referring to the ‘mechanics’ of a thread, although you are right about that too. I have never started a thread on any of the Christian forums. But even the content of the subject I mentioned is a weak one for me. So please feel free to do what you are so good at with my blessing...

    Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?

    You are speaking of a 'FIGURE OF SPEECH', mentioned in the book; I thought Jesus was the LIGHT of the world. JOH 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Now I find He is...

    Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?

    I don't have enough command of this to do anything IMO. o_O I will say/type this, from page 2 of the topic in the BOOK; "Of the vast importance of figure of speech in interpretation, there can be no question. In the Reformation a single metaphor, "this is My body," led to conflicts and...

    Does God care more for himself than he cares for us?

    And I feel like 100% of what God wants to communicate will be done by revelation from God, concerning ‘whatever’ is written. How many pages/stones did it take GOD to, with “the FINGER OF GOD”, write 10 commandments that lasted 1500 years? ;)
