    Is Faith God-Given - or a Choice in reliance with - trusting God?

    Obviously you only read what you want concerning what I text. I said in the text you replied to, that man was created with the ability to make free moral choices. That doesn't mean a person will make a choice that shows he/she has faith. Some will make choices that show they have faith while...

    Is Faith God-Given - or a Choice in reliance with - trusting God?

    God created mankind to make free moral choices but that doesn't mean a person will make a choice that shows he/she will make a choice showing he/she has faith. The scriptures say in 2 Thessalonians 3:2 that all men have not faith.(KJV) The scriptures also teach us that faith is a fruit of God's...

    John 3.16: Simple Gospel truth and profound theology

    I disagree with what and how you're trying to prove with these scriptures. I see that God's might, or power, is represented by his arm and God has shown his mightiness and power through his prophets in the past and much more so through his Only Begotten Son Jesus, but when God showed his might...

    Is Faith God-Given - or a Choice in reliance with - trusting God?

    Faith is not the possession of all persons, as it is a fruit of God’s spirit. (2 Thessalonians 3:2; Galatians 5:22) And a Christian’s faith is not static, but it grows. (2Thessalonians 1:3) Hence, the request of Jesus’ disciples, “Give us more faith,” was very appropriate, and he did provide...

    Christianity boils down to believing in the end, there's no other way around it

    The problem is that those who say they know something to be true, there will always be those who say they know that's not true. For instance, I know God exist, we have evidence all around us that he exists but you will find those who say they know that's not true.

    The Deity of Jesus under attack on this forum.

    Those who say I'm attacking them because they believe Jesus is God simply because I disagree that the Trinity is a Biblical doctrine that's basically saying no one has the right to disagree with them doesn't it? I think that's an attack on a person's right to disagree. No one has shown me in...

    When the Bible says, "Dead", what does it mean?

    What I understand from what the scriptures are saying is that YHWH God is the only True God who is the Almighty God. This is the person who is the Father and God of Jesus so for anyone to try to teach me that is true only in some small part of what is true isn't going to wash with me. Jesus said...

    When the Bible says, "Dead", what does it mean?

    So you don't really believe what Jesus says, you only believe what he says in the sense that you say he is saying it. I don't agree with how we should look at this scripture. What I see is whenever someone else looks at scriptures in the sense that they say those scriptures should be looked at...

    What and when is the rapture part two?

    No, Adam wasn't created incorruptible. You will find no scripture that says that. If he had been created with an incorruptible body that would mean his body is not subject to ruin, not subject to decay, not subject to spoil, not subject to being brought to a lower or inferior state, not subject...

    When the Bible says, "Dead", what does it mean?

    Marks said: Each are called God[/QUOTE\] No they're not, but obviously you're not going to believe that.

    When the Bible says, "Dead", what does it mean?

    You say we should believe Jesus when he speaks, so that means I should believe him when he says at John 20:17 that after his resurrection that he said he has a Father and God that is his Apostles and disciples Father and God, right? That would mean YHWH is the Father and God of Jesus so YHWH is...

    When the Bible says, "Dead", what does it mean?

    There are those who take John 2:19-22 out of context. But we must harmonize Jesus’ words with many other scriptures. There are just too many numerous scriptures that show Jesus did not raise himself from the dead, but that he was resurrected by YHWH God his Father. Some of those scriptures are...

    What and when is the rapture part two?

    It's not true you saying that those on earth are only soul and body. All humans are souls and have spirit, you just have to understand that the spirit that's in man is the same spirit that's in animals. This is the way God created Adam, so that's how all humans are who are Adams offspring. We...

    What and when is the rapture part two?

    It's your choice to deny Jesus was dead for three days, but I'm not going to deny that. 1 Corinthians 15:42-51 is showing that mankind, who are human beings, have corruptible bodies. The first man Adam God created without sin and without spot or blemish but his body was a corruptible body. God...

    The Deity of Jesus Christ in 1 John 5:20

    At 1 John 5:20 Believers in the Trinity doctrine hold that the Greek word "οὗτός" which is a demonstrative pronoun and translated as “this” or "this one" in the English language refers to its immediate antecedent, Jesus Christ. They say that Jesus is “the true God and life everlasting.” This...

    What and when is the rapture part two?

    Those who exercise faith and judged as righteous are not all of the heavenly calling these of the heavenly calling will be kings, priests and judges with Jesus in that heavenly Messianic kingdom. They when resurrected are given immortality and inherit incorruption. But there are those God...

    What and when is the rapture part two?

    Yes I agree we should move on

    What and when is the rapture part two?

    You either believe the scripture at 1Corinthians 15:45 or you do not. Jesus wasn't resurrected with the same body that he sacrificed. Jesus is no longer a human being who needs to breathe oxygen eat food or drink water to continue living. Human beings do need to breathe oxygen eat food and...

    How to go to Hell. Pt 1

    We have to understand that the Greek word that was used in scripture when the Bible was translated into the greek language was Hades. So in Bible's translated into the English language where the Greek word Hades was in scripture has been translated as Hell. Hades represents the same thing as...

    Why Does God Allow This ???

    Those who are truly faithful know following the example Jesus is the key. You will not be treated worst than Jesus Christ. The Only Begotten Son of God came to us as an innocent sinless human. He was always loving, caring, and kind dispite the way he was treated. We can't say we're innocent or...
