    Do you admit that the gospel cannot change the world?

    I likely hold a different eschatological perspective than you do, and therefore interpret verses such as 1 Timothy 2:12 in a distinct way. (2 Timothy 2:11) The saying is trustworthy: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; (2 Timothy 2:12) if we endure, we will also reign with...

    Do you admit that the gospel cannot change the world?

    Since the gospel was first preached by the original disciples of the Messiah in the first century, each generation thereafter, including today, has fewer people come to true salvation through it. The proportion of false or insincere believers compared to genuine believers has increased and will...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    Not that I believe a word of your so-called 'fathers,' as ever being scriptural, or even spiritually alive in Christ, however I just want to point out that your last statement is a little inaccurate. You might want to revise it. The claim that the Nicene Fathers defined "God" as the ousia...

    John 3:13, 3:31, 6:38 and more A reference in understanding certain scripture with idioms that are God and Heaven centric -the source of human activities and their existence. It was common for the local culture during the time of Christ and even in some areas today to say that something “came...

    Here's a handy reference to John 17:5 and its true meaning, for frequent review, especially for those who habitually drift off into the sci-fi land of preexisting and human divine beings. John 17 : 5, (including verses 12, and 22 and others) It's about idioms again and more...including...

    You know this is a very childish move. More embarrassment again I see... Of course I know this quote, and what does it have to do with you lying statement below? "When offered 3-4 Scripture passages that 100% speak of Jesus preexistence your answer was : those are just isolated statements in...

    My answer was MY ANSWER WAS WHAT...was WHAT AGAIN! How dare you lie about what I never said and never would say. Retract that statement and apologize.... Man, what words will you conjure up next time in an attempt discredit me. Are you that desperate to embarrass yourself. Shame on you...

    W Well apparently I'm doing something right, and I predicted the outcome I'm now getting, as no surprise. Would you like me to investigate and do more Bible Study of scripture, of your choice, say with a new thread. or not? How about covering all the so-called "I am' statements. I reckon I...

    For those having a difficult time understanding some (parts of) verses in Hebrews Chapter 1: Here are some notes that are valuable to retain and open up occasionally to restabilize the mind that desires to wander off into fantasy at times. Verse 2: The Greek word translated “universe” (or...

    @Fred J and we can link Hebrews 1:9 with John 1:14, the entire verse of John 1:14 a and 14b. They, Paul? and John, speak to the same subject that the logos of Almighty God (only) became (as/into, transformed/embedded into) a human person we call Yeshua or Jesus at his anointing, as a willing...

    Can you genuinely clarify your position here? Please take this comment of yours seriously, with the Spirit of God in mind, as I hope it/he is present for you. If not then I realize you are working under your own spirit and effort only. I highly doubt you can explain yourself judging from your...

    I believe there is much for you to grasp in scripture. With that in mind, perhaps you could quietly review some posts when you have more time, to better understand what God is truly conveying here, including its context and importance. Isn't that the main purpose of reading scripture? Those who...

    The interpretation of Phil 2: 1 -11 - in proper context and theme

    I think you are overreacting to this issue by using phrases like "No Bible version inserts 'mental' in Philippians 2:6." You seem to have missed the main point or argument here. Take a moment to calm down and focus on understanding the text’s meaning instead of jumping on what might seem like a...

    Wow, you've lit up the switchboard with other successive posts that I most probably will not get to right now.. You don't get extra credit for volume or quantity only in truth and quality.. Let me just address your initial post- one post at a time might be more prudent. I did not look at...

    You know I'm not your precious friend so please quit with these empty words. And as far as your revised personally-charged doctrine of Judgement according to your thread link, nothing.
