I doubt it. Luke 16: This was supposed to have happened before the resurrection of the last day and the final judgment. It does not sound literal. Similar parables were told by rabbis around Jesus' time. Wiki: Why was the rich man being tortured in Hades? Because he did not listen to Moses...

The conscience is a faculty of the soul. It can distinguish between good and evil. It makes us morally culpable. Genesis 2: In the beginning, Adam and Eve's consciences were dependent on God. The Spirit of God was directly connected to their spirits, which are directly connected with their...

Let proposition P1 = The comma should go after *today* in Luke 23:43. P2 = The comma should go before *today* in Luke 23:43. 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.

Luke 23: Should the comma be placed after the word "today"? At Biblehub, 31 translations placed the comma before *today*. Only 2 placed it after. The following is from GotQuestions: First, we note that every major Bible translation inserts the comma before the word today. Thus, the KJV...

Yes, Colossians 3: 2 Timothy 2: Matthew 5: Ephesians 4: Focus on the positive words for building up, instead of negative words for tearing down. Jesus gave a warning in Matthew 12: I am not just advising this; I practice this. I didn't let my kids use words like "dang", "freaking", "shit"...

Of the 12 sons of Jacob, Dan is not mentioned in Rev 7: In place of Dan, we have Manasseh: Manasseh was a son of Joseph. In fact, Dan is not mentioned in the NT at all. Why did John not mention Dan in Rev 7? One possible reason could be found in Judges 18: As a tribe, the Danites were too...

Exodus 24: During those 40 days, God told Moses the instructions about the tabernacle and the priesthood in the next 7 chapters. Finally, Exodus 31: Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, Exodus 32: The Israelites rebelled against the Lord and made a golden calf and had a worship party...

2 Timothy 2: Was Paul against word study and lexical analysis? No, Paul wrote earlier in 1 Timothy 6: Paul was against self-conceit and unhealthy controversy: What's wrong with quarrels about words? Watch out for these negative consequences when arguing about words. Where do we draw the...

The answer is complicated because the concept of satan evolved over time. Here, I give a simplified yes answer. Ezekiel 28: The prince of Tyre was a type of Satan. Like Satan, he was proud. Like Satan, he was wise: Pride in everything is a recurring theme for Satan. Beauty is another...

I assume they are 10 and 0. Are you willing to bet based on your weighting scheme?

Purposes of paedobaptism: As a parallel with circumcision in the Old Testament, Luke 2:21. Initiate the baby into the Christian community because his parent is a Christian, Acts 16:33, 1 Corinthians 7:14. I baptized all my 5 kids by near submersion in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy...

Does the word "whatever" apply to all things universally or only to some things like foods and holy days? Let's see the context, Romans 14: This concerns food. This is about holy days. This concerns freedom of conscience among brothers and sisters. These things point to food and holy days...

Faith ≡ faithful works. Faith and works are two sides of the same coin. Here I will give the First-Order Logical proof of that. Let proposition F = you have faith in his heart. W = you exhibit (faithful) deeds. James 2: ¬W → ¬F ⇒ F → W Now let's look at the converse. Works show faith. But...

I don't think so. Moses gave the Sabbath to the Israelites. Nehemiah 9: Deuteronomy 5: Moses then proceeded to quote the 10 commandments, The LORD did not command the Egyptians to keep the Sabbath Day. I don't think Abraham knew about God forbidding child sacrifice.

Did you not make a claim? And you want me to do the homework to prove your claim? Is that logical? Let me apply your logic: I claim that you are a son of the devil. It is your responsibility to prove that my claim is true. Do you see how absurd this is? If you do, then please show how you...

You are not making any FOL sense. Please follow the formal syntax of FOL. Did you not claim that you know FOL? A Christian should not lie about FOL. To do so is not logical. While we are at it, let me ask you formally: Are you a Christian? Lying in answering this could carry serious...

Great. Then please show how you arrived at the conclusion "You're not even a citizen" according to the syntax of FOL.

I would not object to people who call Jesus a philosopher but I would object if they think he's just a philosopher. Philosopher (lover of wisdom) is an artificial thing while Jesus is the Son of God. What's Paul's take on philosophy? Paul did not shy away from philosophy or philosophers...
