    Let the dead bury their own dead

    Right. M1's father had just physically died but Jesus did not want him to take some time to bury his dead father. True?

    What is a lukewarm Christian?

    Revelation 3: Jesus addressed the nominal Christians. It was a warning. Take heed. Get serious. The context points to the Church in Sardis (Revelation 3:1). I do not have an operational definition of lukewarm. I leave it to the conscience of the individual believers to decide for themselves...

    Let the dead bury their own dead

    Let proposition P1 = Jesus wanted M1 to bury his father, who had just died (physical death). P2 = Jesus did not want M1 to bury his father, who had just died (physical death). Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions? The stronger your belief in a...

    In the beginning was the WORD/Logos

    Philo: ESV, John 1: Strong's Greek: 3056. λόγος (logos) — 331 Occurrences It was a common word that had a wide range of meanings. However, John used it in a technical and philosophical sense. That's why ESV translated it with a capital W. Wiki: The English word "logic" is derived from the...

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    I watched it. A big claim requires a big proof. He didn't have any. I would not spend more time on it unless his technicians publish a scientific article. That's how my brain works. See A Disciplined Probabilistic Approach to Biblical Hermeneutics.

    Let the dead bury their own dead

    Luke 9: Wasn't Jesus a bit harsh? No, according to Smith's Bible Commentary: Likewise, Barclay's Daily Study Bible: Henry's Complete Commentary on the Bible expressed a similar sentiment. This interpretation of Luke 9:60 is consistent with Moses' commanded in Exodus 20: The man [M1]...

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    He should write a paper and submit it to a journal for such a great discovery. When it is published in a scientific journal, then I will read it. I don't spend much time on videos, but thanks for mentioning it. At least now I am aware of its existence.

    Whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will NOT be forgiven

    Isn't that a bit harsh? Let's check the context, Matthew 12: These Pharisees have hardened their hearts so much that they stubbornly attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to the evil spirit. Stubbornly calling the Holy Spirit evil will not be forgiven. If a person keeps calling the Holy...

    Joab killed his first cousin Amasa; Solomon killed his first cousin Joab

    1 Chronicles 2: Zeruiah was a sister of David. Joab was a nephew of David. Joab and Amasa were first cousins. David promoted Amasa and demoted Joab in 2 Samuel 19: Later, Joab killed Amasa in 2 Samuel 20: Solomon and Joab were first cousins. After David's death, Solomon killed Joab (1...

    Cretans are ALWAYS liars

    Was Paul aware of the Epimenides paradox when he wrote in Titus 1: Was this a hyperbole? Paul seemed so set on its literal truth. We should not read the "always" here as a universal quantifier. It was hyperbole. Acts 2: These Cretans at the Pentecost spoke in tongues. Was Paul aware of the...

    The one and only Son, who is Himself God

    Are you using the word "implied" in the first-order logical sense?

    How could the illiterate apostle John write the Gospel of John?

    No. See another one ALL SCRIPTURE is God-breathed :)

    What happened to the ark of the covenant?

    Around 621 BC, 2 Chronicles 35: That's the last time the Ark of the Covenant was mentioned in the Old Testament. A few decades later, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jerusalem and raided the temple. There was no mention of the ark. Fast-forward to Revelation 11: Perhaps God took the...

    The kingdom of God: past, present, future

    Jesus introduced the concept of the kingdom of God, bright and early in his ministry in Mark 1: Jesus spoke to the Pharisees in Matthew 12: Jesus was the Lord and King. He started the kingdom of God on earth. Jesus sent out 72 disciples, instructing them in Luke 10: They represented the...

    First-Order Logic

    Disclaimer: FOL is not the be-all and end-all. In fact, when it comes to the mystery of the Godhead, FOL is rather useless. When it comes to formal deductions, FOL is a strong proof of claims. Its components are Propositional calculus, click an example Existential quantifier, for some (1...

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    We are going around in circles. Let me try another way. Let proposition P1 = I have the Paraclete in me. Is P1 true when it is applied to you? Please answer with yes or no and nothing else. Can you do this in order for us to continue this conversation in a meaningful manner?

    WHOEVER relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches OTHERS to do the same

    Now you are jumping to a kangaroo conclusion. You posings have been a series of imprecisions and overgeneralizations. It is a bad habit to interpret my words and the Bible that way. If you don't think you have jumped to a kangaroo conclusion, then show me the logical steps of how you arrived at...
