    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Someone on here... maybe it was @BlessedPeace told me about an old Bible done in the 3rd or 4th century. Translated in 1861 that has Galatians 2:20 this way... With Christ have I been crucified: I live; however, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; and the life that I now live in the flesh, I...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    How do we get a thing called the faith of Jesus Christ if he's God? Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    “With the predominant idea of trust (or confidence)” (Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament). “Firm persuasion, a conviction based upon hearing” (Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words). “Firm persuasion” (A Critical Lexicon and Concordance to the English and Greek New...

    Where does the Pope get his authority?

    Much of the Roman Catholic doctrine was assimilated into Protestantism and is still being passed along as Christian groups continue to split off from one another. In a nutshell that is why even the independent church in your neighborhood today most probably believes that there is a trinity...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Here's some data for the big boys... From the context in the Bible, this word “faith” means believing, a firm confidence, trustworthiness, and certainty. I am not trying to say such words do not define the word “faith” because they do. However, when it comes to the faith of Jesus Christ, we...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Any scientist and there are many good ones and I don't even know if you have to be a good one to know the Earth is very old. All those preachers are doing is turning people away from Christianity.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Oh my God who teaches the Earth is not billions of years old? I don't know much about the Old Testament even if you did go there I would not be able to respond. But everyone I know believes the Earth is many millions if not billions of years old.

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    May I have an example of what might be the best available evidence telling us a biblical claim is simply false or wildly improbable to a level of certainty or near-certainty?

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Oppss... I left out the lexical sources listed above defined it when they defined pistis as a confidence, a firm persuasion, a conviction based on the reliability, or trustworthiness... of the person or thing that is trusted. I will list it here below... “With the predominant idea of trust (or...

    "Faith is believing what you know ain't so" (Mark Twain).

    Faith has been defined and explained so many different ways that it's a difficult concept to grasp, but “trust” is simple to understand. The lexical sources listed above defined it when they defined pistis as a confidence, a firm persuasion, a conviction based on the reliability, or...

    What was wrong with Adam and Eve knowing good and evil?

    Interesting... that's what I think of yours.

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    There's so much of the Catholic thinking in our culture. For hundreds and hundreds even more than a thousand years there was only one religion. Them or you were tortured or killed.

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    I can't help you any more. Instead of locking the thread. They are just deleting my posts.

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    You have 3 verses here. What question do you speak of when you say "if such a question arise?"

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    The Bible says he's the son of God. Not God the son.

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    There are many descriptions, titles, and names for God in the Bible and I would like to add God’s proper name is “Yahweh” which occurs more than 6,000 times in the Hebrew Old Testament and is generally translated as “LORD.” But God is also referred to as Elohim, Adonai, El Shaddai, the Ancient...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    There is not one verse that says Jesus is God the Son. Nor has there ever been a teaching on it anywhere in the Bible. The Jews never saw it anywhere in the entire Old Testament nor anyone in the New Testament ever taught it. The Catholics who invented this nonsense have used only about 8 verses...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    I do not believe I ever contradicted myself. How could I since I speak the same truth every time? From the sixth chapter of the book of Deuteronomy, it was written to those who lived under the Law administration, “it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before...

    What is your notion of Christian exclusivity?

    We will never understand the truth of God’s Word if we neglect to rightly divide the subject matter. As far as we are concerned in this Grace administration, what happened to Israel in the Old Testament was written for our learning. If we do not rightly divide to whom it's addressed—the Jew...

    Was Jesus 'mortal' or 'immortal' ?

    I see this a lot... baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. What does that do? I was baptized by the spirit of Christ when it came into me. What does that other stuff accomplish? It makes no sense. It's gotta be Catholic. That's probably why.
