    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Nice. You may also like the following list. It is a list showing the symbiotic relationship between the Living Word (JESUS) and the Communicated Word (Scripture). The Living Word & the Communicated Word. This in my view also proves Jesus is GOD. In other words, Christ is compared to God’s...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Thank you. I discovered this list of 160 reasons Jesus is God by another Christian a long time ago. I altered his point number 81, though. This is based on my discovery of the true spiritual meaning of what Jesus wrote on the ground in John 8. You can check out my write up on that here (if...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    So you don’t believe in a second coming of Jesus Christ and that man will eradicate himself before Jesus returns? If so… that’s pretty far out there in left field somewhere beyond what the Bible says. Most Christians believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. How do you know what I...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    I explained this in of my old writes up here: Does God have a God? Explaining John 20:17 in Defense of the Trinity. To put it to you another way: Hang ups like these can be easily explained with the Bible, and they are not that many. The problem for you is you have to ignore and or twist a...

    Why DO Most Christians Believe Death is a Separation as Opposed to Cessation of Life?

    I believe the Bible teaches Dualistic Conditional Immortality. You may be interested in checking out my write up on this here: A Defense of Dualistic Conditional Immortality

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    81. Jesus wrote the names of those in the ground who had forsaken the Lord who is the fountain of living waters mentioned in Jeremiah 17:13. This verse was of course was pointing about how they were forsaking Him (Jesus who is the LORD). The Lord referred to generically in the Bible is a name...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Jesus is God Almighty. Here is a great article on a list of verses that tell us this. (See #45 and other numbers below). 160 Reasons Jesus Christ is Almighty God By Thomas Golda 1. Jesus IS the visible image of the Invisible God - Colossians 1:15, II Corinthians 4:4...to see Jesus is to see...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    While Satan owns the kingdoms of this world, that does not mean God is not sovereign and one step ahead of the enemy. Again, think the cross. Satan entered Judas to betray Jesus was instrumental in Jesus going to the cross to die for mankind's sins. Sinful men crucified Jesus unjustly. The...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Jesus is the Word (Because the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us - verse 14). The Word was God (John 1:1), and the Word created all things (John 1:3). God was manifest in the flesh (1 Timothy 3:16). Jesus even said that He came down from Heaven (John 6:38). Jesus = God. It's a bit of a...

    Bible alone!

    Water baptism was generally done by water immersion like in the Jordan, and not sprinkling. Therefore: The sprinkling of the clean water is either by the Spirit or by the blood of Christ (or both). For water is related to the Spirit in John 7:37-39. And the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    There are two wrong extremes. Law Alone Salvationism and Perpetual Belief Alone Salvationism. Some Christians make it all about all Law and no grace. The Church of Christ comes to mind. They believe that water baptism (a work) is how you get initially saved and it is not by just believing...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    I believe the Bible teaches there are two major aspects of salvation a believer needs to be concerned with in this life. Some Christians have called this “Initial Salvation and Final Salvation,” but I prefer to simply say this is: #1. God's Grace Through Faith in Jesus Christ as the Savior...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Do you not regard the book of Job as equally authoritative as Holy Scripture? See: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Side Note: Oh, and I am curious about your avatar. Do you really think Jesus looks like a white American hippie with long hair? You do realize Jesus is a Jew, right? Also, no matter how...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Just because I quoted from Job and used examples from that book does not mean I am Job or that I hope to have his life of suffering. I know the Christian life does call for us to continue to suffer and be persecuted for Jesus Christ, but God knows the best type that is for me and the type of...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    You appear to be changing your tune. Before you said, I quote: “…or God allows Satan to kill your children” “You'll end up like the Pre-Destined Elect Heretic, shaking your fist at God, when God didnt cause or allow the Devil to do what He does. Listen, Satan does what he does, because that is...

    Do you believe in the prosperity gospel like Joel Osteen?

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Uh, yeah. You have an overactive imagination. Not gonna happen. First, I hate Calvinism and see it is as pure evil. I reject all five points of Calvinism and see them as highly unbiblical. Second, I fully realize that this life is not our home. This life is but a stage. This life is...

    What is the purpose of : Evil

    Before you appeared to complain that it would have been better if Adam did not sin (Making it appear like God did not know what He was doing). You don’t see how God can permit evil and use it for a greater purpose or plan. You appear to just see evil as bad. My point before to you was that we...
