Do you remember Oedipus of Greek legend? He was the son of Laius, king of Thebes. Here’s the story in a nutshell: An oracle had warned Laius that he was fated to be killed by his own son; he therefore abandoned Oedipus on a mountainside. The baby was rescued, however, by a shepherd and...

No distinct wills, since their wills function on an infinite, divine scale. If God loves us with an infinite love, and if Jesus has an infinite love for us, then there is no distinction between their love for us. If God's will is infinite, and if Jesus' will chooses the same thing as the...

I never made such a claim! Can you show me where I said that?

Some people say that Jesus must have been able to sin if the temptations were real. That I don't believe that, but some people do. This article I wrote was to show that there are no possible (rational) outcomes if Jesus did sin. That's why I said this is a hypothetical article.

It could have happened, right? Disclaimer: this short article is all hypothetically. It bears no relationship to reality. Its purpose is to demonstrate how foolish it is to ask the question "Could Jesus have sinned?" It is a question that has no rational answer. We are told in the Bible of the...

I've decided to Ignore you because you appear to be a babe in Christ and the way I write could offend you.

Have I already answered this? I don't see where I answered it. And there is no date as to when this was written.

It was intuitively obvious. God does not give revelations to people in secret to start a new religion. Use Christ as your authoritative example. See the article for why.

RIght!!

Recently, one of God's highest-ranking angels, Michael, was personally dispatched by God Himself to come to earth in order to reveal to me, of all people, that God has grown sick and tired of all religions. To make a long story short, Michael has given me a new revelation, which, once again...

I did not read your post

Sorry for this message, but it seemed critical to me: In a strange twist of fate, at least from a human perspective, God has apparently decided to supersede my recently received revelation with yet another, although this is unconfirmed at this time. Repeat: this is unconfirmed! This...

The next item to consider is the word “name.” After a brief look at this, you will see why I have translated the preposition “in accordance with.” In today’s English, we use this word “name” in a number of ways. Here are a few examples: My name is Joe. Those mean boys called me names...

I have a few comments on this often-referenced verse. John 14 “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” Many have laid claim to this passage as a promise from Christ that He will answer...

Voice: Middle/Passive Acts 13.48 This chapter is closely related to the chapter in which we discussed Rom 9.22. I’d like to walk you through another example of this Middle/Passive concept because the implications of this concept are far-reaching. Definition: Middle Voice: Used to emphasize...

This is sheer speculation and runs counter to the NT. Peter mentions Paul's writings AS SCRIPTURE. see 2 Pt 3.16: ... as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things. Therein are some things hard to understand, which those who are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the...

This is the age of the Internet. Any of these statements are basic Church History 101. Better yet, buy a Church History book/ebook and dig it up yourself. Some of the statements I make are taken from my class notes from Dallas Bible College back in 1981. I have also continued my reading and...

The first century had its advantages because the Apostles were present to advise the Church of which writings were canonical. The Epistle of Barnabas was never widely circulated, since the Church would simply ask an Apostle if the writings was from God. The canon was largely accomplished in the...
