Well just to prove a point, I have commited the sin of unbelief by not believing that to be the sin that doth so easily beset me. But I believe everything else so perhaps I can be excused.:confused:

@JunChosen So are you telling me that because I hadn't "read on for a couple of verses" Christians can continue to commit adultery as defined in Matthew 5:28 and still be saved and enter the Kingdom of God? And is the same 'passport' available to Christians who also continue to commit some of...

I can't be bothered to read the whole of the thread but my thoughts turn away from peripheral stuff like 'buns', and onto "the sin that so readily besets men", such as 'adultery" as defined by Matthew 5:28, and which bars entry in the Kingdom of God, as per 1 Corinthians 6:9. Can such an...

Since I can hardly recall an occasion when contributors do not "stand by their convictions" I conclude that either: 1) All are wrong. 2) All except one are wrong. Hands up those who think they are the exception. (Whoops, I overlooked the likelihood that all hands will be raised)

Dear Chris Sorry for my cynicism but there seems to me to be at least 14 different 'versions' of the 'verbally inerrant' New Testament regarding the vital importance of the word 'and' in Galatians 6:16. EHV Peace and mercy on those who follow this rule, namely, on the Israel of God. GW Peace...

One would be forgiven for thinking that God Himself, physically with his own hand, wrote only one verbally inerrant 'version' of the New Testament in Shakespearean English.

@Tong2020 post #35 "You may hold to that position if that is your conviction." What incredible magnanimity.

Nothing, but nothing, serves to divide Christians more dramatically than the 'Bible'. Maybe Christianity would be better served if a stop could be called at the point where Christ is said (in the 'Bible' ;)) to have returned to His Father's side and sent The Holy spirit to by our guide...

When God sent the incarnate Christ to exemplify himself and his Kingdom to mankind he chose to do so in the centre of a Mediterranean region mainly committed to the religion of Judaism. Understandably, Christ’s short 3 year ministry was dominated by the need to correct Judaism’s misplaced...

@Enoch111 post #42 Are you implying that I do not know what I'm talking about? The writer of 1 Corinthians 14:33 was setting out the two extreme opposites of peace and tumoult (losely and incorrectly interpreted as 'confusion') and, being Jewish, would have been totally conversant and aware of...

One is tempted to wonder if there is any 'theology' that, whilst appearing to be clearly underpinned by certain scriptures, does not appear to be equally clearly undermined by other scriptures.

Interesting thread started by a person who may well have been through many of the following thought processes that have pervaded much of my own pathway. If God intended 'post Christ' mankind to be text book led (as had been the Mediterranean Abrahamic descendants) then: 1) Would he have waited...

@mjrhealth Hi David, So you liked my post enough to ignore it.:eek:

@mjrheath David, we have known each other via forums for decades and I hope you will not be offended if I counsel you to get out of this thread for 'Christ's sake' (and I use the term advisedly). Clearly BOL is deeply offended by your reference to the 'Mother of Harlots'; as are you by BOL's...

Absolute gem that's gone straight into my armoury chest.

Such Christlike sarcasm....says he sarcastically.

Bless you Nancy, you are such a gem that I wish I had sufficient strength to be able to replicate.

In as much as the exiled Jews thought that when Jesus preached 'The promised Kingdom" he was referring to their recovery of the earthly Jerusalem on the basis of their natural birthright. So yes indeed to your contention, in that so much of Jesus' preaching was addressed to the Jews who needed...

This thread mirrors the Church A thing of sheer truth and beauty to begin with until ...... The 'wheat' is gradually stifled by the introduction of more and more 'tares', whereby we are constrained to "let both grow together until the true harvester, who is the only one able to exercise perfect...
