8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us. 1 John...

A wise man rejects sin if He has time to consider what he's doing in the moment, but our nature according to the flesh remains or there would no struggle with sin. Even the Apostle Peter was called out by Paul for his hypocrisy regarding his behavior among the gentiles when Jews came visiting...

Ok, Jesus referred to the transfiguration as a vision and it had to be. So tell me, why did Jesus speak with dead men in the vision. Why did He speak with nonexistant men? What was the point? I noticed that you completely ignored what Jesus taught when speaking of the resurrection. 31 But...

I get it now. You don't believe scripture unless it agrees with your carnal understanding. There is no such thing as symbolic eyes. There are spiritual eyes and you could have them for the asking, but no one is ever going to give you symbolic eyes. That's insane.

James was not a missionary and lead the church in Jerusalem. Literacy in the first century was extremely low, primarily because there were no books, just rare hand written scrolls that cost more than most Christians could possibly afford. This isn't an argument, it's fact. Some gentiles might...

Keraz, your statements regarding national Israel are not entirely true. At the last count, some years ago, there were over 10,000 born again Jewish believers (In Jesus Christ) in the state of Israel and that number was growing (though to the dismay of the orthodox Jews living there), while the...

Actually, scripture specifically warns Christians to not defile themselves, the temple of their bodies, because God destroyed the temple in Jerusalem. Ananias and Sapphira were both Christians in the New church, but the Holy Spirit struck them dead for their lie about the sum they received for...

. 42 Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 44 Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at...

In the law of Moses we find a passage that tells Israel not to bring the detestable thing (idols) into their houses, because that would make the house subject to destruction. King Manassas did just that to the temple, setting up idols within and some say this is what lead to the destruction of...

I've been labeled a Calvinist by some. But I've never studied the theologies of any of the reformers, so I'm not familiar with arminian doctrines. I just wanted to say that your screen name is the funniest one I've ever seen on a Christian web site. May the Lord richly bless you and preserve...

The scriptures say plainly that the Lord will return with ten thousands of His saints. Are those saints the church?

The average Catholic is completely unaware of what protestants think or believe and could care less. The people you encounter on forums are exceptional Roman Catholics in that they study scripture and try to reconcile it to their church's doctrine. In Rome, Mary became a substitute for the...

Are you familiar with the Roman doctrines that Mary remained a perpetual virgin and that she was taken up to heaven rather than die and be buried? The Romans have a very elaborate doctrine about the "mother of God", but it isn't found in scripture and couldn't be as that would contradict the...

I don't believe we have a right to sin, but why does God abhor sin? Is God harmed by sin or is it man that suffers the consequences of evil behavior? Is God a vengeful legalist, or is His character defined by love?

Why did God create Cannabis? Was He trying to make people sin? People commonly call Cannabis "weed", but its a cultivated plant that does reseed itself, but doesn't easily spread and doesn't readily grow in the midst of other growth as weeds do, so we can safely assert that God saw that it was...

Barney, scripture says that Jesus spoke with Moses and Elijah on the mount of transfiguration. Please refrain from calling God a liar. There is no account in scripture of more than 1 person having the same "vision", none. That "vision" had significance in that Moses and Elijah represent the Law...

Every eye will see an invisible presence? I'm sorry Barney, but this conversation is pointless as you just aren't believing what scripture says and scripture is the basis of faith. Have a good life. I'm convinced that the Lord will show you the truth and I recommend that you believe the Holy...

So the saints aren't the church? Scripture very plainly says at least twice that the saints will return with Christ. Since Jesus very plainly spoke of His 2nd coming and of His disciples ALWAYS being with Him, your statement suggests that the true and faithful witness lied. I pray that the...

Thank you for the direct application of the word to this silly carnal minded thread. There'd be far fewer arguments in these forums if people understood that God isn't schizophrenic and that His word agrees with itself and progressively reveals Christ.

If you're careful in your reading of scripture, you'll see the church referred to as a foolish nation, even though the church is meant to exist around the world. Don’t confuse nation with country. The first is a people, the second is a place. Also, if you look into the remaining historical...
