    What is the narrow gate?

    Wrong again. You should throw that contaminated version of the scripture out and get yourself a decent translation. I suggest that you try looking at a literal (word for word) translation to get an idea of how nonsensical the green dragon is. I would like to thank you for demonstrating how...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Not once in scripture does it ever say that Jesus prayed to Yah havah. He always spoke of God as His Father and never by name (and as a faithful Jew, He wouldn't have, but He clearly applied the identity of Yah havah to Himself when confronting the unbelief of the Pharisees and scribes. Good try...

    Homosexuality: Is it the way a person is born?

    I wouldn't disagree with your statement, but there remains a theology to be understood behind the statement which is less simple and must consider matters of law such as our justification, as well as the process of our sanctification. John wrote: 28. And now, little children, abide in Him, that...

    What is the narrow gate?

    No, I'm saying that your lies are hogwash. And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!'' Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'' John 20:28-29 This is the Truth that you have to...

    Homosexuality: Is it the way a person is born?

    The new covenant law is also referred to as the Royal law and I'm afraid that we're not exempt from it, however it is fulfilled by Christ in us, not by anything that we do short of receiving Him (which is not really our doing either, but according to His election.) What I mean is that we are...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Hogwash. Proper translations teach a God who is made manifest in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not three gods, Just One (as in the sh'mah, Hear O Israel the LORD our God, the LORD is One (Adonai aluhenu Adonai 'echad)). The Hebrew "echad" can be understood as the numeral one, but...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    Maybe we don't. I might've responded to something quoted by you and originally posted by someone else. I do that sometimes as more individuals get involved in the topic and some chime in just to state their unbelief and give their reasons for such a stance, as though that somehow contributed to...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    I wouldn't worry about it, but while I believe that all things are fulfilled in Christ, that doesn't mean that the Lord's promises to Israel as a nation have been somehow annulled or voided. Christ is King of the Jews, even if the majority of them still reject Him. If you recall, King David was...

    What is the narrow gate?

    Actually, it was Jesus who taught these things. Perhaps you should go back and read the gospels again, maybe 7 times (a good complete number of times) and perhaps you'll see what you've been missing, but I suggest you find a decent and reasonably accurate version of the scripture instead of the...

    Homosexuality: Is it the way a person is born?

    If you examine the genealogy of Jesus Christ, you'll find murderers, prostitutes, adulterers and idolaters, yet Jesus was born without sin. Man has a fallen nature and his sin is in his natural bent (he is misshapen by sin). If this weren't the case we wouldn't need to be renewed in the image of...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    I read it, I just don't believe it for a second. Men have reasoned away the promises of God as to make them of no effect, but in this they neglect the fact that the promises aren't kept by men, but by God. "These things you have done, and I kept silent; You thought that I was altogether like...

    Hubris?

    Was Jesus demonstrating pride when He rebuked the Pharisees for making a show of religion? Was He showing pride when He called them sons of their father the devil? Was He showing pride when He proclaimed the depth of judgment against those towns in Galilee where He revealed Himself? You might be...

    What is the narrow gate?

    No one is worthy, but God alone. Those who know Him have been made worthy by believing in His sacrifice and receiving His Spirit; You must be born again!

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    Tick tock, tick tock. The eyes of some have been opened, more will follow. The earth is rumbling in a voice too low to hear. Creation groans and labors, but will it bring forth nothing but wind? A new Showtime series starts tonight called "years of living dangerously" and appears to be more...

    Hubris?

    Dictionary definition of hubris : excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance. God calls this sin. Is there a kind of pride which is not sin? The prophet Jeremiah spoke of such: Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory in his might, nor let...

    How can the body of Christ function properly without eyes and ears?

    I believe that the scripture actually says "until the fullness of the gentiles is in" (or something approximating that) which has its corollary in the book of Daniel which speaks of the time of the "fullness of transgression." You see the "fullness of transgression" actually speaks to the...

    Homosexuality: Is it the way a person is born?

    The Lord has blessed me more than I could ever have imagined and since that which is "mine" is an adopted family in Christ, I know that they are all blessed more than they can imagine. You may have indeed believed Christ, but there is no room in the house of God for fairy tales and demonic...

    What is the narrow gate?

    God's word doesn't lie, but JWs certainly do and they do this intentionally, keeping their more bizarre doctrines secret until they have indoctrinated their recruits in the basic lies of their religion. I'll ask you plainly for the purpose of testimony, if Jesus is not God, then who is He? We...

    What is the narrow gate?

    You obviously neither understand scripture or know Christ. Let's start with the concept of subordination. I'll use myself as a simple example; Prior to enlisting in the USAF I had spoken with a recruiter about joining the USAF under a commission and as an officer. After taking the aptitude test...
