He was fully human, he knew hunger, tiredness etc so it is reasonable to think he also knew what pain was and that he knew just how much pain he was going to experience. Yes he also was anticipating the separation from his Father as well as the degradation of bearing All our sin. I think his...

The evidence for God is right in front of everyone for those prepared to look. It is also there for those prepared to think and face there preconceptions. The scientific evidence is that the universe has a begining. Wow, think about it. Everything once did not exist in any form. There was...

Becoming a Christian is like becoming a cityzen of a country. One has to accept that countries past, the good bits and the bits one is ashamed of. The Christian accepts that the Bible is the word of God, with bits one does not understand or like,only a fool seeks to remove those bits that are...

Acts 9,:7 they heard the sound but did not see anyone. Acts22:9 saw the light but did not understand the voice. Both from the niv. There is no contradiction here. It is always the responsibility of the claimant to provide the evidence that supports there claim.

We are not told about any physical sickness we are told about the anguish/torment he went through in the garden. Whether intelligent anticipation of known pain equals fear ? He knew what he was going to suffer and didn't want to go through it.

Wow these people have a hotline to God! Rename about there biblical and Christian guidance. Jesus taught us that we worship in Spirit and in Truth, that places and material objects were not important. As this has nothing to do with people needing to turn in repentance to Jesus and follow him...

This is a pointless post. It only mentions one half of a partnership and in ignoring the other half it invalidates everything being said.

I'm sorry you find life pointless and without meaning. The way things are makes it very difficult to see anything positively. May I encourage you by reminding you that Jesus values what the world disregards, remember the widow's mite, and who does Jesus call to serve him. Yes few of us get to...

And everything is based solely on the account of one church in the NT, we do not know how the other churches behaved, other that some of them like churches today behaved very badly. The way the NT is written is not as a manual how to do church rather it is how to be a Christian and how not to...

You mix two things what Jesus has done legally and spiritually with our physical condition. Paul in Romans 7:25 clarifies it. He is saved through Jesus's but also see the duel nature of the Christian, a slave of Jesus, but also still a slave to sin. You refuse to look at 1john1:9 and it's...

I was not clear enough. I was referring to your cop out of throwing out an accusation blindly on a Christian forum and when asked who you were speaking to, replied, if the cap fits!. In my opinion that is highly irresponsible. If you think posters on a forum are behaving ina in Christian way...

My pride, reads more like your pride.

Yes reliance only on the Bible can lead to a literal legalism, just as reliance only on the spirit leads to error. We have to read the Bible intelligently, humbly asking God to lead us in our studies and understanding. God has blessed us with men who have walked closely with him and they have...

Nehemiah is an example that Christians can rise to high positions in companies, society but that there they are to stand out for there integrity etc and to live for Jesus. They may not do dramatic things like Nehemiah, but like Esther or her uncle they may have enormous influence on society. In...

Interesting you should say that. Is it true of you? Do you as a religious person exaggerate your sinlessnes? Are you humble enough to acknowledge before God that all you are is a sinner in need of his mercy and grace?

The language Paul used is the language of now, of current experience. Not the language of the past.

Thank you for reinforcing the importance of scripture. As you say relying on mystical voices, fissions, words of knowledge etc leads only to error. The Bible is the only trustworthy way of seeking to follow God.

That is nonsense. I don't have to believe in facts just because of God. Truth is those facts that most accurately account for something. Truth does not change just because I do or do not believe in God. The normal process is to believe what someone has told you untill you discover that it is...

If one follows the teaching of one's heart then one is not following Jesus. Jeremiah 17:9. The heart is deceitful above all things. Ignore your feelings unless they are confirmed by one's reasoning.

That is a cop out and very poor reasoning. Someone who is ignoring aspects of biblical Christian behaviour is highly likely to be ignorant of the fact that his behaviour is contrary to the Bible. In which case saying blind man get yourself out of that hole you are in is not just unhelpful but...
