    Is Eating an Apple A Sin?

    Sin came on the entire human race as the result of eating that fruit...so the damage is done. The remedy deals not only with the original eating of the forbidden fruit; but also with subsequent eatings of it, after one is redeemed. So, I would say, eat to your heart's content (but only if you...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    The sick/depraved can enter the kingdom...of course they must repent so that they are no longer sick/depraved...But they are to come as they are...as sick/depraved. Because the Lord catches the fish first and then He cleans them. So then, repentance will come as the result of being forgiven...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Oh...I thought you said they can not enter into the kingdom of God...I believe that you are now qualifying your statement to mean that they cannot enter the kingdom unless they repent and are cleansed by the blood of Christ.

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    The Word was God (John 1:1); and God is a Spirit (John 4:23-24). So how is it that the Spirit of God didn't become flesh when the Word became flesh?

    A preaching.

    From The Ten Commandments—What happened? Righteousness is imputed to me through faith; that is, the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I do what is righteous (1 John 3:7). I live according to my new identity given to me through Romans 4:5. You should know that I preach that if...

    Is baptismal registration biblical?

    The Holy Ghost is absolutely promised to the one who receives baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38-39). Whereas one might also receive the Holy Ghost merely by asking for Him (Luke 11:9-13). If there is any doubt, it certainly doesn't hurt to get...

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    My faith that your multi-faceted points are invalid stands as evidence that your points are invalid (Hebrews 11:1).

    Purgatory and Praying to Saints in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    No; it is a parable and within the meaning of the parable is the idea that the servant owes a debt that he cannot pay.

    If you had the power, would you send/permit your child to go to Hell?

    I don't have any children; but I have heard that the love of a parent is such that they would indeed go to hell for their children if they could.

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    I believe that the holy scriptures are clear in saying that Jesus was begotten in the incarnation (Matthew 1:18-20, Luke 1:35).

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    If He was eternally begotten, and then descended to become a Man, consider that as the eternally begotten Son He dwells in eternity (Isaiah 57:15). As One who dwells in eternity He cannot cease to dwell in eternity, for that is the nature of eternity, that if anyone dwells there, they dwell...

    Very big GAP in the trinity Part 2

    God the Father descended to become a Man (Isaiah 9:6); but in doing so He could not cease to inhabit eternity (Isaiah 57:15); for it is the nature of eternity that if someone dwells there, they dwell there eternally. Now the Spirit of Jesus Christ is God the Father (John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11)...

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    The 1st Person of the Godhead was born as a sinless human; thus becoming the 2nd Person of the Godhead.

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    @Christophany, I would venture to say that one cannot understand John 17:3 accurately without using eisegesis to a certain extent. For if you read it with only exegesis in mind, you might come to the conclusion that Jesus isn't the true God (and therefore, He would be a false god). But if you...

    Very big GAP in the trinity Part 2

    There is obviously one Spirit in holy scripture (Ephesians 4:4). That Spirit is the Father (John 4:23-24), the Son (Ephesians 3:17, Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12), and the Holy Ghost (John 7:39, 2 Timothy 1:14). These are the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-6). However, the Holy Ghost proceeds...

    As a matter of fact He did (John 1:14).

    Jesus isn't Catholic

    The Bible teaches that a man "has" everlasting life...has passed from death unto everlasting life...from the moment of first faith. Justification is the beginning of the work that He begins in you. He will be faithful to complete it in sanctification if He has indeed started it in you...

    Very big GAP in the trinity

    The Spirit of Jesus is the Father (John 4:23-24, John 14:7-11); and He released His Spirit back to the Father in Luke 23:46. The Father stayed behind in eternity as He also went forward to incarnate as the Son. See Ephesians 3:11. He lived one eternal moment and then incarnated in the Person...
