    Why hadn't the baptized believers in Samaria received the Holy Spirit?

    The reason is a complicated theological reason. Peter had the keys of the kingdom. At Pentecost, only the upper room received the infilling of the spirit which was brand new and is what makes one born again. Peter preached the first Christian sermon to jews- having the keys and unlocking...

    The twelfth Apostle

    Possibly. It is an interesting poser to think about. That God had Paul in mind and the 11 chose Matthias. Whether true or not, Matthias was a duly appointed Apostle and so was Paul.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    As I said we have beat this dead horse useless. We will allow eternity to show us whether your convoluted opinioned way of making Mary ever virgin and Jesus th eonly son is right or not.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    I already repented teh one and only time on ehas to- that was to get saved! Now I do not repent of sin, but follow Gods command of 1 JOhn 1:9 and acknowledge my sin to my Father. He forgives and cleanses despite your sinless perfection fallacy. god views us a s sinless, He no longer sees our...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    read your posts 81 and 190. One is a strong implied Mary had sex and the other more direct you ceded the point. Firstborn - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firstborn A firstborn (also known as an eldest child or sometimes firstling) is the first child born to in the birth order of a...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Only in your mind! I desire with all my hear to attain sinlessness, but until that day, I am saved sealed, redeem,ed, perfected, justified and being sancrtified. YOu are under a delusion that you have ceased from sinning and never give in to your fallen human nature which is still alive and...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    So all that conceding on y0our part about Mary having sex was a lie then. OK be well. this thread is too big for me to go back and show you admitted it. Lying is unbecoming of you. Bu ttime will tell. time to end this. Have the last word if you wish.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Well we have beateen this dead horse to further death. We agree to disagree and heaven will show. But the fact that you now admit Mary had sex with Joseph after Jesus was born and thus fully capable of children is a great movement on your part. the rest, time will show

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    No you just provided opinions of writers that cannot override the fact that the most professional concordances and Lexicons do not recognize "kinsmen" as a use of "adelphos" in the NT. And yet you lack that common sense when it comes to understanding Matt. 13:55 to support Roman Catholic dogma...

    tick bite causes an auto-immune disease where a person cannot eat red meat or take some medications, it can be deadly

    Maybe, maybe not. With the rate of mutations in the lower forms of life (viruses, bacteria, ticks and many other insects) this may have been a naturallt occuring mutation in the lone star tick that affects humans. There are far easioer and more cost effective way to get people from eating red...

    Putting on Christ is living like Jesus

    Well as you are sinlessly perfect now as you claim, you have no more need of teaching us mere believers who are gorwin g in grace and knowledge of Jesus. You have already reached perfection so there is no more need for you to grow anymore!

    Thoughts on Comparing Translations in Bible Study

    Literal translations are still the best. When translated from greek to English as the English stands. Dynamic equivalents work to give the accurate thought as opposed to a modern equivalent word. this leads to lots of subjectivity and error. The best English New Testament is Kittles. but...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    According to Mounce, but all the rest disagree. So you found one who supports your agenda. Now show why He should be listened to above the PHD's in Koine Greek. Just so you know what kind of scholar you picked: William D. Mounce From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia �������������...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Now you lie. I despise the lie that conceived it and has you held captive in its evil. But as you now have resorted to lying about me, to me- Have the last word, for I am done with one who is a liar.

    Heaven - When?

    Now we do, but not before Jesus ascended, they went to Paradise/Abrahams bosom.
  16. Ronald Nolette

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    No, just how words are used and their implied meanings. First born has always been used to designate the first of at least 2 children. and other than an OT usage of adelphos as kinsmen and writings several centuries removed with common names in Israel it is all assumption. Once again the NT...

    The Rapture is Post-trib

    but as I am not talking about HIs resurrection, that is an irrelevant point. but Jesus did spend 50 days walking the earth after His resurrection.

    The Rapture is Post-trib

    are you saying Jesus' first coming he levitated while doing all the gospels have written? Proof? And when did Jesus second coming occur?

    Heaven - When?

    No, for I was talking about the kingdom of God/heaven (the same) and its use in Bible times, while you are addressing sin.

    The fact you are a universalist is just a big a problem as yo9ur mothers works salvation. But if you are living in her home, you are under her authority and must obey her. I do not know what are in your handwritten gospel papers, but if you feel compelled to pass them out against your mothers...
