Such humility! May I remind you of some of the other Paul's writings: Ephesians 4:1-3 (WEB): (1) I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, (2) with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love...

That's so kind of you. You're wrong again though, I do have an answer for you. The angel let Peter out of prison. As Peter said, Acts 12:11 (WEB): (11) When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod...

I used to believe that too, but if there is no part of us that survives death (no non-physical part, because all physical parts perish) then a resurrection would just be a clone of us and not actually us. How do you understand the following verses (all from the WEB)? Matthew 10:28 (28) Don’t...

God's instructions to Adam tell us nothing about God's reasons for creating the earth and humankind. i thought your question was "why did God create humans and place them on the earth?", not "what did God instruct humans to do?". Similarly, why did God create the angels? What was the purpose...

I think you're typing out of your anus. ;) I think you'll find that should be Arius, not Anus. :Laughingoutloud:

What do you mean by the "other" Paul? :confused: This means that sin and death for everyone came from (originated, or resulted from the actions of) one man, Adam, Romans 5:12 (WEB): (12) Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all...

Okay, so why do you think God created the earth, all life on earth, and mankind? I don't believe that God created man just to be gardeners to keep the earth looking good.

As others have replied, we are saved from death, which is God's penalty for sin. It's all summarised by Paul in Romans 6:23 (WEB): (23) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I think God created us (and the angels) for His good...

:IDK: All this bickering just because I simply asked, "Please give Bible references to back up that claim" (post #652). Please let's stop the bickering! :p Yep, it is! And yet I had to ask for Bible references. :) Well I asked for references that would back up your claim, but the references...

Correction - the answer is three. Jesus, Adam and Eve. What you said was ridiculous, and what I said was not ridiculous, was to give Bible references to back up or confirm what you claim. Hence I said, "If you want to convince anybody that what you are saying is the correct interpretation of...

No! The answer is one - Jesus! That doesn't say that Jesus was never not in existence, it just says he was in existence before Abraham was born. Again, that doesn't say that Jesus was never not in existence, it just says he was in existence before the creation of the Earth. So I'm afraid you...

God was involved because Jesus did not have a human father. Please give Bible references to back up that claim. Proverbs 8:22-31, applied to Jesus, tells us of Jesus' beginning (WEB): (22) “Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old. (23) I was set up from...

If the "frame of reference" is "Jesus being raised bodily", how is it changing the "frame of reference" if I ask you for Bible references for where it says Jesus was raised bodily?

Well you asked me where it states that Jesus was resurrected with a spirit nature, so I asked where it states that Jesus was resurrected with a human nature. That's not changing the frame of reference. You didn't answer my question, so I'll answer yours. 1 John 3:2 says that after our...

And on many of those occasions he would appear and disappear out of and into thin air, or have a different physical appearance so that they didn't recognise him, e.g. : Luke 24:31 (WEB): (31) Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, and he vanished out of their sight. Luke 24:35-36...

:IDK: As I said, "I've said enough on this subject". Just repeating over and over what you've already posted is not helpful. It makes me think that you didn't take any notice of some verses I quoted in post #1769: 1 Timothy 6:3-5 (WEB): (3) If anyone teaches a different doctrine, and doesn’t...

From the Cambridge Bible Notes for Luke 3:7 - broods of vipers "described the venomous hypocrisy which turned religion itself into a vice, and hid a deadly malice under the glittering semblance of a zeal for orthodoxy. But let it be borne in mind that only teachers of transcendent holiness, and...

From the Online Bible Greek Lexicon, aion "is usually better expressed by age, it is the world at a given time, a particular period in the world’s history". From the beginning of the ages/worlds, or the beginning of God's creation.

The following post was posted before I started posting on Christianity Board, but many current posters would benefit from reading it - A Call for Calm.

In return I will ask, what verse says that Jesus was resurrected as a human? Jesus is in heaven, sat at the right hand of God, and no human can exist in heaven. As the apostle Paul said, in 1 Corinthians 15 (WEB): (50) Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s...
