    The Bible, God's word or mans?

    Might as well. I wouldn't want to come under the scrutiny of 1 Peter 1:15-16.

    We All Have A Choice To Make; Either Follow JESUS Or Suffer The Consequences Of Rejecting Him. II Peter 3;3-7

    Man in and of himself does not have the capacity or power to reject or not reject Jesus. Jesus said in John 15:16: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the...

    The Bible, God's word or mans?

    Sezs YOU! Mark 4:34 reads: "But without a parable spake he not unto them and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples." 9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the...

    The Bible, God's word or mans?

    Most definitely I understand the principle of eisegesis and in fact, I call it (eye)segesis! In turn, do you understand that God spoke in parables and without a parable He did not speak? A parable is an earthly story with a heavenly meaning! Which one conveys truth that you would rather follow...

    The Bible, God's word or mans?

    Here is a king who called for his scribes to write an edict and have it posted in the town square. He got word that the words he dictated to the scribes were different from that what he had said. Guess what happened? That's right, their heads were cut off! Likewise, God moved [dictated] to the...

    The Bible, God's word or mans?

    Of course prophecy had no beginning with man!!! It is God's alone for He is the only entity that can give dictations concerning His will. It is like in an office environment where there is a "boss" and a bunch of secretaries and summons them to write a memo and begins to DICTATE and the...

    The Bible, God's word or mans?

    To the OP only: "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they wer moved by the Holy Ghost."

    GOD’S Punishment For Disobeying His Fourth Commandment = Genesis 2;1-3

    Day off from what? Because God ceased from His work of creation therefore, needed to rest? Really? True. God had a more significant reason to rest from His labor but one must be spiritual to see it, as per 2 Timothy 3:16-17! And, when this is understood, spiritual blessings come. If the...

    GOD’S Punishment For Disobeying His Fourth Commandment = Genesis 2;1-3

    Each time I read a thread about the "the Sabbath," I would look for a particular post posted by someone that deals with it's true meaning. To my amazement, I have yet to find such a person, not even Seventh Day Keepers, who has the grasp and discernment on this significant law put upon mankind...

    Why did Jesus tell the thief he would be with Him in paradise that same day?

    Seems to me that none here has the capacity to understand the concept of the whole Scripture. I mean.... Everyone speaks as if they know the full intent of what God has declared in His book called the Bible, even after Paul told Timothy, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that "All...

    Is Michael Another Name For Jesus?

    TO ALL JEHOVAH WITNESS, If you truly claim and believe the SCRIPTURE to be true, then read the Scripture verses set forth below and BELIEVE who Michael is. Daniel 10:18-21 reads: 18) Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 19) And said, O...

    Is Michael Another Name For Jesus?

    In Genesis Chapter 16, we read about "the Angel of the Lord" which is translated as a "theophany" which means a manifestation or appearance of God or a god to a person. [Genesis 3:8; and then quotes Genesis 16:7-14]. But note what the angel of the Lord said unto Hagar in verse 10, "I will...

    God promises:

    As I've said, you do not have a good grasp on salvation!!! You can't even understand what God is saying in 2 Peter 3:9 The terms "He does not desire anyone [that is, any true believer] to be destroyed, but desires all [believers] to attain to repentance. STOP teaching heresy! You're in the...

    God promises:

    I beg to differ. You do NOT have a good grasp on salvation as evidenced by the commentaries you have written in these forums about the spiritual things of God. If you agree that the salvation of God is a gift, then you should know that this gift is only given to a person God desires to save. In...

    God promises:

    You have a very poor understanding of salvation!!! Salvation belongs to God alone. He is sovereign. Man, in and of himself, cannot save himself! If God does not intervene in a man's life, man can NEVER save himself nor will he become saved, no matter what he does! When Jesus said, "no man can...

    God promises:

    James 4:8 is a principle set up by God only after the result of salvation! Jesus said, "No man can come to me, except the Father draw him". John. 6:44

    God promises:

    Sorry I didn't make myself clear. The phrase "and are dead" mean "have come and gone" or "existed and disappeared without knowing God".

    God promises:

    Matthew 6:33 must be read in light of Romans 3:10-12: 10 As it is written, there is none righteous no, not one. 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good...

    God promises:

    There are nations and peoples that do not know if there be a God and are dead. Are you saying they are lost?
