    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    I've said it before, but I'll say it again as you've pointed out yourself. People can't move their understanding beyond a lie or false belief that they've accepted as true, unless or until they recognize that error in their thinking. That's always a problem when you "lean on your own...

    19 And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    Well, I think what's unique about those men such as Moses, is that scripture typically identifies them as those who have God's Spirit or have known God's presence. The prophet of God (the genuine prophet) speaks on behalf of God and scripture informs me that what he speaks is through the Holy...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    If God removed everything in us that was us after receiving His Spirit, then yes, God would be a multiplicity like the Hindu and Buddhists imagine, but He obviously doesn't do that in our lifetime and I see no indication in scripture that this is any part of His plan for the resurrection...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    I understand Mr. Gwin's argument in that all biblical translations tend to reflect the faith of the translators, their understanding of doctrine, where the original language leaves room for multiple translations. That's why cultists who deny the divinity of Christ have consistently offered their...

    Thank you so much for your scriptural references. I managed to completely forget psalm 82 in my study regarding the judgment of the heavenly host. In order for them to die as men they'll have to be made to live as men, with physical bodies and suffering all the indignities of life. That's...

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    I'm sorry but your conclusion is an absurdity. Scripture, not just men, teaches that God humbled Himself to take the form of a servant, that God the creator of the universe, divested Himself of power and authority to become a man. Perhaps you don't like the concept of Jesus being fully God and...

    Christians and Jews are both anti Acts 2:38.

    Not my experience except in the RCC (as a child). How many churches have you actually attended on a regular basis?

    BibleGateway's Conspiracy: The Many Lords of Scripture

    Bible gateway is a terrible site for searching scripture. I've copied and pasted verses word for word, verifying the use of the same translation, and gotten 0 results from their searches. I find Microsoft's Bing search far more effective when I'm unsure of the wording of a verse and typically...

    Do we have the power curse and damn people to hell like this Pastor?

    The good news is that two or more here have witnessed against this false teacher and his judgment will be swift.

    Do we have the power curse and damn people to hell like this Pastor?

    Sounds a bit like this "pastor " wants to walk on water. What he's saying isn't that different from other cult leaders and no cult leader wants to loose power over people, hence the absurd threats.

    Do you accept this a Biblical fact or fiction?:

    Ok, where in scripture does Jesus refer to His Father as Jehovah (Yah havah)? And what did Jesus mean when He answered "before Abraham was, I Am"? In the old testament there are many theophanies or appearances of God with Abraham, Manoah and his wife, and Moses as 3 examples. Scripture tells us...

    According to you, but not according to scripture.

    "Trust Them - Just Take The Vaccine?"

    Paranoia and fear = faithlessness. That's not particularly surprising since even those here who read and study scripture frequently don't believe what it plainly says. Perfect love casts out fear, but I suppose we're all a long way from that expression of godliness. 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear...

    "Trust Them - Just Take The Vaccine?"

    There's lots of conspiracy theories and most are associated with mental illness. I particularly enjoyed William Cooper's book, Behold a Pale Horse, and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good conspiracy theory. He managed to combine UFO governmental coverup, with the JFK assassination, the Aids...

    "Trust Them - Just Take The Vaccine?"

    The vaccines were developed during the Trump administration, starting in December of 2019 when the Chinese released the genome of the virus for public non proprietary use to any and all pharmaceutical companies interested in developing a vaccine. This generous release of the genome was...

    "Trust Them - Just Take The Vaccine?"

    No, it means that I'm educated, did my research, and understand the nature of mRNA, and am familiar with Corona viruses. While I didn't study biology with the intent of entering the medical profession, all my close friends from the state university at Stony brook have become successful in their...

    "Trust Them - Just Take The Vaccine?"

    In 1 John we find the simple statement "no lie is of the truth." If you're participating in propagating a lie, what does that say about your relationship with Christ?

    ABORTION

    Not the one I watched my friend. I'm familiar with government abuses of authority, experimentation on the population, etc., probably more so than yourself as I worked for a government agency 25 years until my retirement. I was not educated by the government ( though I did attend 2 state...
