    The concept of predestination

    That's wise, brother, because you may see him in heaven :) I try to listen to the other person's point of view objectively and then put a weight on it, instead of rejecting their view outright. When meaningful communication is not possible, i.e., when they do not understand what I am saying...

    Concerning the work of My hands, you COMMAND Me

    NKJ, Isa 45: Can we command and order God? ESV offered this translation: ESV softened the command by turning it into a question. Furthermore: Barns explained: At Biblehub, 7 versions used a statement while 14 used a question. Let's check the context. ESV, Isa 45: Isaiah pointed out the...

    The concept of predestination

    Isaiah 14: Romans 8: First and foremost, predestination is associated with God's foreknowledge. Strong's 4309: To foreordain, predetermine, mark out beforehand. From pro and horizo; to limit in advance, i.e. predetermine. HELPS Word-studies G4309 occurs 6 times in the NT. Acts 4...

    GIVE us today our daily bread. I order you to?

    Jesus taught his disciples how to pray in Matthew 6: Give δὸς (dos) Verb - Aorist Imperative Active - 2nd Person Singular The Greek imperative mood usually expresses a command. However, we cannot order the Father. In this case, it expresses an earnest entreaty.

    yes, Genesis 21: The LORD יְהוָ֣ה ׀ (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel Abraham knew the name YHWH. But then, centuries later, God said to Moses in Exodus 6: I do not interpret the verse absolutely but as a limited negative...

    Satan is the ruler of this world?

    Do you want to wager on that? This is the 3rd and the last time I have asked. You can say you are 100% sure the earth is flat. Words are cheap unless you are willing to wager on it.

    Satan is the ruler of this world?

    Good question. This is not a lotto/gambling bet. This is a wager to mathematically and scientifically measure the strength of your belief. Put money where your mouth is. If you are interested in mathematically finding out the strength of your belief, then tell me those two weights. See...

    Why did the women want to anoint the body of Jesus after the burial?

    After the Sabbath, Mark 16: Note that this was not embalming which was a far more complex procedure. Just before the Sabbath, Matthew 27: The wrapping itself was a common practice, Act 5: Nicodemus brought a great amount of spices, John 19: Ellicott: Joseph and Nicodemus were in a hurry...

    Did Jesus drink wine on the cross after promising not to drink it at the Last Supper?

    At the Last Supper, Jesus said in Matthew 26: This particular wine was probably the celebratory wine (G3631 οἶνος John 2:3). G3631 appears 34 times. At Golgotha, initially, Mark 15: Jesus did not drink this G3631-wine as promised. Some hours later, John 19: vinegar/sour wine ὄξους (oxous)...

    Satan is the ruler of this world?

    Let proposition P1 = Satan is dead. P2 = Satan is still active. Between 0 and 10, how much weight do you put on each of the above propositions? The stronger your belief in a proposition, the higher the weight.
