    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    BARNEY said: The scriptures don't say a person continues living after death. It was Satan who said there is no death and so was calling God a liar. Death is the opposite of life. The Bible doesn't speak of “soul” as some immortal part of man that continues conscious existence after death...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    GEN2REV said: You don't think that Matthew 7:22-23 shows believers being turned away by God - thus judged unrighteous by Him?[/QOUTE\] No, I don't agree with you that these people were believers. The fact that Jesus says he never knew them and that they were workers of lawlessness is proof of...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    There's going to be a resurrection of righteous and unrighteous say the scripture at Acts 24:15. I don't think that the unrighteous would be considered believers. The scriptures don't say a person continues living after death. It was Satan who said there is no death and so was calling God a...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Jesus taught his Apostles the kind of love they are to strive to have for the true God, that they are to strive to love God with their whole heart and their whole soul and their whole mind. I'm not going to speak out against Christians striving for this kind of love that Jesus says we must have...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Jesus told them to teach everything that he commanded them, to the nations, that includes what he commanded them at John 14:15. (Matthew 28:19,20) You're speaking out against the love that Jesus taught his apostles. We christians don't murder people because that commandment, thou shalt not kill...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    No what we're talking about is the scripture at John 14:15 which says: if you love me keep my commandments which is what John stated to Christians after Jesus had died and been resurrected and ascended to heaven. So Christians are to obey Commandments such as loving God with you whole heart...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Loving God with your whole heart, mind, and soul is how much a Christian is to love God, you're the one speaking out against that kind of love, not me. A Christian also is to love his neighbor as himself/herself, that's how much a Christian is to love, you're the one speaking out against that...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    No you're mistaken about the love for God a Christian is suppose to exercise toward him, and the love for your neighbor a Christian is suppose to exercise. Someone who is speaking out against that kind of love that's mandatory to exercise toward God and his neighbor, can believe they're guided...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    You don't believe them to be commandments to us? You don't think it's absolutely necessary for us to love God, that much? You honestly think we can have a loving personal relationship with God or his Son Jesus without that kind of love? You don't think that kind of love for them is necessary for...

    The Woman Wonder in Heaven (Rev 12) isn't Israel:

    pittsburghjoe, said: Is the Woman with the twelve stars (Tribes) standing on the moon (Mosaic Law/Moses/Old Covenant)?[/QUOTE\] We know she's is not a literal woman, she is a sign, or a symbol. (Revelation 1:1) In the inspired prophecies, women at times represent organizations “married” to...

    1 Corinthians 11:3

    Why would you bring this up?

    One and Triune God.

    Anima said: As we read, the apostles were instructed to invoke in the name (singular) of the following three (plural): the father, the son, and the holy spirit, each separate being serving a particular role, yet they all are the one God, and thus are called "God."[/QUOTE\] The phrase, "in the...

    Christ is God

    You don't want to believe Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God, then don't. You have the right to believe what you want. I will continue not believing John 3:16; John 17:3 and John 20:17 as well as many other scriptures. You want to believe Jesus lied when he stated John 17:3 and John 20:17 you...

    Christ is God

    I understand what firstborn means, I'm wondering if you do, are you saying you don't believe Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of God but instead believe him to be God?

    Christ is God

    At the scriptures Philippians 2:2-4 Paul tells fellow believers (Christians): "make my joy full by being of the same mind and having the same love, being completely united, having the one thought in mind. Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others...

    Christ is God

    I understand what God did, I will never deny that God has an Only Begotten Son as Trinitarians have done.

    Christ is God

    These scriptures are saying to us that YHWH God brought into existence his Only Begotten Son.

    Christ is God

    I'm not going to deny scriptures such as John 17:3 and John 20:17. The apostle Paul was inspired to testify, at 1 Corinthians 11:3, to the inferior position that the resurrected Jesus Christ holds in heaven with respect to his Father, saying: “But I would have you know, that the head of every...

    What is God's "Plan" For You?

    I agree with what you said here and yes there is much more to say on this

    Christ is God

    Mashiach means Christ the Lord or YHWH Christ. Peter explains that God had made Jesus “both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36) So since the scriptures show us that God is YHWH and he is the person who made Jesus both Lord and Christ and since Acts 2:36 is what God inspired men to write down that it...
