The Bible uses the word repent, it doesn't define it - it's not a dictionary! In the Greek it's metanoeo, which the Online Bible Greek Lexicon describes as: 1) to change one’s mind, i.e. to repent 2) to change one’s mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one’s past sins Stong's...

It's not a bad translation, and God is not making a sport of it - God is very patient. We are in the appointed time of sacrifice, and this appointed time has been ongoing for nearly 2,000 years, but eventually it will end. Read the verse in context - Luke 13:24-25 (WEB): (24) “Strive to...

Is that a typing error? Did you mean 'lying' rather than 'living'?

Insulting me by calling me an unrepentant sinner is not demonstrating the spirit of Christ, the spirit of love. 1 John 3:14 (WEB): (14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Nobody in this thread has...

You have not said where in the Bible you find evidence, you're just typing words - you should give Bible references and say which translation you're quoting from. Assuming you're quoting from the KJV then the only match for your first line is Luke 6:3 : (3) And Jesus answering them said, Have...

There is no mention of Adam and Eve, or Satan and Eve having sexual intercourse. There is only mention of eating fruit from the tree - that was the disobedience and sin, not having sexual intercourse! It is later, in the next chapter (4:1) that it says that Adam and Eve had sexual intercourse...

Where do you find Scriptural evidence for that? I can only find the opposite - Psalm 51:5 (WEB): (5) Behold, I was born in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me. or as the GNB translates it: (5) I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful...

1 Peter 3:20-21 (WEB): (20) ... God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. (21) This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good...

Paul wrote, Romans 7:15-20 (WEB): (15) For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do. (16) But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good. (17) So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me...

What issue? We are discussing Windmillcharge's statement:

We are begotten by God, and in our current embryonic state, God works in us, and we with him, so that our minds are renewed and we are gradually transformed to be like our Lord Jesus in character and will: Romans 12:2 (WEB): (2) Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the...

Our trial for eternal life is now, before our resurrection. For non-Christians it will be after their resurrection. We have been begotten again as new creatures in Christ, but we are not born again until our resurrection, when we will be changed to have the same divine spirit nature that Jesus...

We will be perfected in our resurrection, which occurs on the earth, then we go to heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 (WEB): (50) Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable. (51) Behold, I tell you a mystery. We...

Originally, before the flood, there was no rain, so rainbows could not exist (they're caused by the refraction of sunlight through falling rain). Instead, Genesis 2:6 (WEB): (6) but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground. The first rain occurred with the...

When you study today's rivers and observe the amount of sediment deposited by rivers at their mouth/delta, then one can estimate how old the river is. Such sedimentary evidence is consistent with all of the rivers being younger than the time of the Great Flood. Here's an excerpt from Is there...

Pay attention! I was replying to the statement, "The rapture theory is false doctrine". There was no mention"PRE-trib" in that, just "rapture". You obviously haven't watched the video that I linked to!

That's not what it says! The words were written by Moses, not by people living "back then" during the time being talked about. It says that all the people on the earth spoke the same language. It then says that as some/all people travelled westward and they stopped and dwelt on a plane. That...

Rivers frequently flood their banks, but when the level recedes the river is still there!

It's not a theory. It's the teaching of Paul, who said it was revealed to him directly by Jesus: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (WEB): (15) For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen...
