    What do you think about gender equality in Christianity?

    As pertains to salvation, there is no distinction between male or female, Jew nor Greek, slave or freeman. That has nothing to do with the roles given men and women, or with gender equality. You left a lot out of your post: Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto...

    The Absolute Equality of Jesus With The Father

    I do, obviously you don’t.

    The Absolute Equality of Jesus With The Father

    On top of that, the apostles fell at His feet and worshipped Jesus after the resurrection, and He fully accepted the worship - whereas every time the apostles or angel is worshipped, they stopped the worship instantly, and told them to only worship God. Mat 28:9 And as they went to tell his...

    The Absolute Equality of Jesus With The Father

    H Already dealt with. It DOES clearly mean a person, because it states that the Logos made the world and all things, THEN was BORN INTO the world that HE had made, and manifest in the flesh, in the first 14 verses of John 1. Unless you’re saying the Father God is who was born of Mary and...

    The 12 tribes of Israel: They be us.

    Absolutely wrong. The church is grafted onto the new covenant that is with the house of Israel. That’s clear in Romans ch 11. The church is the church, Israel is Israel, and scripture is crystal clear that the new covenant is with the HOUSE of Israel, which means national Israel, as proven by...

    The Absolute Equality of Jesus With The Father

    The actual facts are clear that Jesus is co equal to the Father, and is co-creator of the world, and everything that was made, then was born into the world He made. John 1:1 tells us “in the beginning”, (taking us back to Genesis 1:1 and creation of the world) was the word, and the word was...

    WE ARE NOT SAVED BY WORKS...WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

    He turns on the TV, comes across someone preaching salvation, and since faith comes from hearing the word of God, Romans 10:17, he now has enough faith to make the choice to either receive Jesus and become a child of God, John 1:12, or reject Jesus, as His own, that He came for, did in John...

    The 12 tribes of Israel: They be us.

    Sorry, but the church has not replaced Israel. First of all, the new covenant is still with the HOUSE of Israel, which is national. genetic Israel. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not...

    Hyper-Grace

    Some claim that the spirit is born again and sinless, Yet Jesus can choose to drop them out of His hand, just like He vomits out of His mouth the lukewarm, and warns a church in Revelation that names can be blotted out of the book of life...

    Hyper-Grace

    One has to examine all scripture on a topic, not just our preferred ones. Jesus is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, but it’s clear that His atonement of sin is onky applied to those who believe in Him, receive Him, John 1:12, and repent of their sins. Only sins repented of are...

    Repentance necessary for salvation.

    You have to consider all scriptures, not just the ones you like. Repentance and belief are needed for salvation.

    Hyper-Grace

    How salvation really works. To be saved requires more than just believing in Jesus - we also must choose to repent of our sins as part of our conversion so that our sins are forgiven (Acts 3:19 - Acts 20:21) - but we can’t pre-repent of future sins - thus scripture is clear that only OLD...

    when will the two witnesses appear and WHO ARE THEY

    That’s completely a conjecture. Angels can appear as a man, but every time they do, the text makes it clear they are angels, and nowhere in scripture do we find an angel appearing as a man die, and then be resurrected. I make the same demand of you: prove with scripture your above claim, or...

    Repentance necessary for salvation.

    Still not true, because Paul preached faith AND repentance for salvation, and Jesus made clear He came to call SINNERS to repentance. Belief and repentance are clearly separate. You can believe in Jesus but not want to turn from sin. Your claim is simply not a reasonable interpretation of the...

    when will the two witnesses appear and WHO ARE THEY

    Angels can’t be killed though. The two witnesses end up dead and then resurrected.

    when will the two witnesses appear and WHO ARE THEY

    They are clearly men, and men are human. Angels can’t die, so that’s not a possibility. The two witnesses are killed. I’ve never seen anyone claim Elijah isn’t one of the two, particularly since the two call down fire from heaven, and can stop the rain, and both are things Elijah is noted for.

    Paul and The Philosophers at Athens

    Because they were not given the Holy Spirit to indwell them yet. That’s promised to happen in the new covenant, not the old. In the new covenant God puts His spirit within His people. The old covenant was deliberately a yoke of burden to contrast trying to earn righteousness by keeping 613...

    Could this allude to the dinosaurs?

    Nope. I don’t know who claimed that, but those tracks are blatantly human on top of dinosaur tracks, and in case you don’t remember it, dinosaurs came from eggs, and started out very small - thus the obvious thing for God to do would be to put young and small elephants and rhinos and dinosaurs...

    Repentance necessary for salvation.

    Nice job of cutting off the scripture that showed Paul preaching repentance AND faith are needed for salvation, not to mention that Acts 3:19 clearly says repent AND BE CONVERTED so our sins will be forgiven. Being converted is the transformation into a new creation, and being born again. And...
