What planet do you live on? I’m on earth, where my evidence blew up soul sleep dogma into itty bitty microscopic pieces.

Mysteries of Messiah - he’s good at digging up fascinating facts from scripture:

Here’s what I wrote about salvation: First step is to make sure you are really a child of God through faith in Jesus. To become a child of God, you must choose to receive Jesus, (John 1:12),by asking Him into your heart (Revelation 3:20), where He then dwells (Ephesians 3:17and Colossians...

I’ve disproved soul sleep thoroughly. Our body is our home we leave at death, and go to be with Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5 The soul leaves the body at death, therefore doesn’t sleep with it. 1 kings 17 ; Genesis 35:18 Damned humans are put in the same place that spirits called angels are put...

Have you read Romans 10:8-13 which tells how to be saved? Rom 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart...

Bearing fruit is something believers must choose to do, as shown by Jesus saying He is the vine and we are the branches, and any vine that bears no fruit will be cut off as a dead branch - and Peter writing that we must make our calling and election sure, by adding to our faith the fruit that he...

It’s done by the believers authority, given them by the Holy Spirit dwelling within and by Jesus giving His authority to believers.

Same reason Jesus didn’t clear out leper colonies that existed back then, but waited for those with faith to be healed, to go to Him.

Except that’s wrong. The authority of a spirit filled, Bible believing Christian, is to do the same miracles and works that Jesus did John 14:12, because they receive the same DUNAMS miracle working power Acts 1:8 that Jesus did His miracles through Acts 10:38. And the signs that follow those...

A lot of your proof texts don’t even apply to sickness, such as tribulation, which means trouble, not sickness. But you left out a few facts, such as God forgives ALL our iniquities and heals ALL our sickness. and MANY are the AFFLICTIONS of the righteous, but God delivers them out of THEM...

You don’t have to receive sickness, that’s very true. Jesus healed every sickness and disease before the cross and on the cross, and by His stripes we’re already healed - believers just have to learn how to receive what Jesus already did, by faith. If physical healing isn’t available by...

Yes, false signs and wonders involving calling fire down from heaven, per Revelation - not healing people physically... I’ve never heard of any false Messiahs such as David Koresh or Sun Myung Moon, or Guru Maharajah, etc, healing a single person physically.

This “same ole same ole” debate on water baptism still takes us to Paul being thankful he only baptized a few, and saying God sent him NOT to baptize BUT to preach the gospel. It seems evident that if water baptism was part of salvation, Paul would have been sent to do both.

If I’m allowed to discus apologetics in an apologetics forum, I’d like to respond that there are no mysteries in scripture concerning why God currently allows evil in the world, and why man was allowed to fall in Eden - for two examples mentioned in the OP - there are answers but they didn’t...

Paul warned us to examine ourselves, to see if we are in the faith. 2 Corinthians 13:5 Scripture says to trust in the lord with all our heart, and lean not on our own understanding. Such as - in my limited understanding I can’t see why God let Adam and Eve fall, therefore God made a mistake...

Per John, Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit.

Except God’s actions are never any of those - so I would never agree with the skeptic - and setting them straight is called apologetics, not circling the wagons. Your post sounds a lot like you agree with the skeptics.

The command doesn’t say, thou shalt not lie - it specifically prohibits bearing false witness AGAINST your neighbor. Thus lying to hurt someone is a sin, but Rahab lied to save two spies sent by God, not to harm them, therefore she was rewarded for it, not punished for it. Do you think...

It’s impossible for God to lie...

Any Christian not living righteously won’t be healed, anyway.
