    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    Your psychosis is showing by your 180° turnaround and playing semantic games.

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    It's also referred to as being double minded....and the TRUTH IS NOT IN THEM.

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    Let's ask a question..... First off understand that hate is not the opposite of love. Apathy is the opposite of love. So.....if someone claims to love God but is apathetic in their actions towards God.....uhhhh.....they are liars. Nothing fancy required here.

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    You have three times ignored what I've said and falsely accused me of crap I specifically have not done. I did not seek engagement with you and now you are going on ignore.

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    You are a universalist....something much much worse. And as far as having an eschatology view.... I do not and have never given ANY viewpoint, never promoted one, or really discussed much about future prophesies whatsoever. I have very valid reasons....ones you will never understand.

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    Uhhhhh.....no. While you fumble around and understand nothing....some of us are quite content and secure in our years of hard core study. (Study not involving the worst commentaries as you have seemed to have used) I've gone to the original language....which is tough because John uses early...

    Now who is really acting childish?

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    Jesus never denied being the "Seed of David". He answered when He was called that and performed a miracle because of it. Ummmm You really need to know scriptures better than you seem to.

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    Sorry, But you do not have an accurate objective view of the examples I cited. Meaning you need to read scripture MORE. There is no way I can relate the fullness of how these things are true in a single post. Your explanations are not accurate either. Elijah called down fire from...

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    I understand that you are wanting to cut it off.... But I just want to add that there is a theme with the actions of God throughout scripture.... Moses was judgment Joshua was blessing David was judgment Solomon was blessing Elijah was judgment Elisha was blessing. John the Baptist was...

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    Faith is not faith if it causes zero actions. Actions do not save a person.....never have and never will. But if you claim to believe but have zero actions reflecting that belief....you are a liar.

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    You can try to sugar coat and twist your Gnosticism any which way you want.... But it's still Gnosticism and absolute UNBELIEF. Just verbal assent which receives double punishment for abusing God's name.

    Elijah shall come before Christ?

    Mal’aḵi (Malachi) 4:5-6 TS2009 [5] “See, I am sending you Ěliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה. [6] “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with utter...

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    So.. .you backsliding every other day with armed robbery, prostitution, fentanyl habit and drunkeness....but still saved? Uhhhhh. NO. The TWO greatest Commandments are what? Love God with all your heart, soul, might Love your neighbor as yourself. All your actions are put through this...

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    No.... You are twisting what the truth is. BECAUSE ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD HE ACTED UPON THAT FAITH. James speaks specifically about those who claim they believe but have no works have a dead faith. And by works we mean things that are aligned with sanctification....meaning not getting...

    Receiving Jesus. - What does it mean?

    JUSTIFICATION is something Jesus accomplished.....we, ourselves had nothing to do with it. Believing Jesus and becoming His disciple is something accomplished by a person's desires and works. Just. Because I talk about sitting in chairs doesn't mean I actually do sit in chairs. And that's...

    Biblical divorce

    The Ketuba was a contract created before the marriage (after the bride price had been agreed to) about the expected performance of the husband and the wife. Such things as the frequency of physical intimacy(manual jobs by husband and he was usually let off the hook more but if he was a...

    Biblical divorce

    Those are two completely different actions. Sure they go together (or are supposed to) but they often did not. Because, the dowry was to be given to the woman upon getting divorced. And the husband's did not want to give it up (often they couldn't afford to). So the practice of "putting...

    Biblical divorce

    Ok.... It says "put away". Actually same language for "divorced" used at the end. It's discussing a practice called "putting away" a wife. Where she is kicked out of the house, not let back in, and then you have to only supply her with 3 balls of sustenance about the size of a walnut each...
