    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    You must repent. Your pseudo spirituality is nauseating.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Well as I do not know at all whom you speak of in this, I can't answer to that. But in my 49 years of walking with the Lord all my preachers and teachers have said we are justified by faith alone and then produce the good works that justify our justification by faith alone. First we are made...

    Heaven - When?

    Now if you took them at fiorst century face value instead of a 21st century mind set and keepiong the kingdom in light of all OT prophecies concerning the king and kingdom, you would come up with a much different answer. Jesus spoke to 1st century Jews, not 21st Century gentiles.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    The hebrew word in Gen. 13:8 is "ahim" and is in English the following: alike (1), another (16), brethren (17), brother (218), brother with his brothers (1), brother's (21), brotherhood (1), brothers (195), brothers' (1), companions (1), countryman (10), countryman's (2), countrymen (10)...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Well then let me be direct. Yes, just because Mary and Joseph had sex after jesus was born does not prove other children. But use of the term first born strongly implies a second born and possibly more, and coupled with Matthew 13 it shows jesus had four half brothers and at least 2 half...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    But Hebrew and Greek are two differing languages and did not have the same vocabulary. YOu also used a meaning that does not exist for adelphos. Here is the accepted definintions of Adelphos by all greek linguistic scholars: a brother, whether born of the same two parents or only of the same...

    Heaven - When?

    Matthew did not misquote. It is you locked into a misunderstanding of how they spoke in the culture of the day. A good Jew would not write GOD in HIs writings, especially iof He is trying to evangelize Jews! Remember what Paul said, "Tot he Jews I became as a Jew in order to win some. to teh...

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    There is no Scripture to show this That is not what the Scriptures say. I just showed you what the bible says. Even for the disciples, Jesus said, "you did not choose me, but I chose you".

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    Then you need to find out how an unsaved man can overcome what the bible says about the unsaved: Romans 8:7-8 King James Version 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please...

    Heaven - When?

    You have to remember that this was written in Matthew. Matthrew wrote his gospel to the Jewish people and would not have used the word God! Israel knew the prophecy of the 770 weeks of Daniel and at the time of Jesus' arrival there was a real Messianic fervor in Israel waiting for the promised...

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    It is possible, but whether or not He does we cannot know. God knows everything. Omniscient means all knowledge. He foretold events decades, centuries and millenia in advance. Jesus saw Phillip under teh fig tree and knew his thoughts. Unsaved man does not have the will to choose or not...

    If the Catholic Church gave us the Bible, where is it?

    It is the catholic(universal, small c) church that created the bible. The catholic(small c) is the body of Christ found in all sects and denominations of Christendom. The Catholic (big C)church is the Roman Church and it associates that accept the pope as a successor to the apostles.

    Heaven - When?

    When Jesus announced that- He was not referring to heaven but to the prophesied and promised kingdom god would give to Israel.

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    Well God knows all He chooses. Whether He keeps some thing unknown to Himself is not declared so we should not try to answer that, for it is futile for we can never know how right or wrong we are. The bible declares God is omniscient (knows all) so that needs to suffice us. Also simply...

    If the Catholic Church gave us the Bible, where is it?

    Marcion was branded a heretic and antichrist and swas formally excommunicated in 144 AD. He rejected all of our NT writings except the Pauline Epistles.

    If the Catholic Church gave us the Bible, where is it?

    Well if you said the catholic church (small c) I would agree with you. But the church merely approved the letters and gospels that were widely used and accepted and not without a lot of controversy. The roman church as the RCC was not in existence yet. But the catholic church(small c)...

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    No you need to repent for your hypocrisy and for your lies about what I hold inside me and pretending you know what is inside me. You constantly berate me for saying I believe in the biblical principle of sitting under the authority of a pastor/teacher. I showed you the Scriupture verses but...

    COVID Hospitalizations on the rise....
