    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    Again: Scriptures are not something men decide ... They are the ones God inspired to be recorded to our knowledge. You need to discern the diference between both. Until next time.

    Apokatastasis in the early church

    ALL in Greek doesn't mean the same we mean today. Most times is about a subset of a bigger set. I could mention many biblical examples to show you, but I really have not time right now. Have a good one.

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    You are lost ... You don't know what the Scriptures are. They are the ones that were recorded under inspiration. Not what Catholics choose, not what non-Christians want to add, not what anyone left over after taking out what he doesn't like, etc. To know what is Scriptures and what is not, you...

    Do you? :rolleyes: 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work. Jesus said "the scripture...

    Apokatastasis in the early church

    Consider ALL as a name ... it never goes without last name. The last name is in the context, like here: 1 Cor. 15:27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things...

    Interesting that the Bible is "the Word of God", unless someone quotes a translation you disagree with.

    The lack of divine direction of the religious leaders of Christendom has confused them about what it means for the Scriptures to be inspired by holy spirit. They do not understand, much less their followers, that when God made everything to be registered in the Bible, he could not have given his...

    Apokatastasis in the early church

    ALL in a specific and well-determined context.

    No, it's not. For a doctrine to be biblical, it must have sufficient biblical support and be demonstrated without a doubt. Furthermore, it cannot contradict any fundamental teaching of Christ or that his followers have clearly expressed in their inspired writings.

    That is false. Men can't invent what is truth or a religious lie or determine by themselves what God aproves or not. We need to study the Bible to know those things. We can't invent a god to our own liking, nor judge ourselves for the eternity under our own laws.

    Apokatastasis in the early church

    It does not matter if after the second century some Christian apologist defended some belief that the Christian biblical Scriptures do not seem to clearly support... The Bible itself says that in times when the apostles were still alive there were individuals who also speculated on the things...

    James 2 No such thing as faith without works

    1 Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will...

    James 2 No such thing as faith without works

    Obviously doing good works and not practicing the things that God condemns are not the only things that determine salvation, but their role in it is decisive. Psal. 37:10 Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. 11...

    James 2 No such thing as faith without works

    John 5:28 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. Rom. 1:28 Just as they did not see fit...

    James 2 No such thing as faith without works

    No one is going to be saved by the works they do, BUT as the Bible says, the works that are done are what will determine the outcome of the judgment; that is a common factor in all these passages ... and no one can nulify the Scriptures because he doesn't like what they say:

    James 2 No such thing as faith without works

    As seen, the Scriptures show that there is a judgement based on each one's works, as James said under inspiration to every empty man: James 2:20 But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith without works is useless?

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    And still, your opening post is wrong, according to the Scriptures.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    The canon of the Hebrew Scriptures was traditionally divided into three sections: the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings, or Hagiographa, contained in 24 books (...). By further combining Ruth with Judges, and Lamentations with Jeremiah, some Jewish authorities counted 22, the same as the...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    The Hebrew Scriptures, known as Old Testament were finished 4 centuries before Jesus. He and his disciples quoted profusely of them. They are the same we can read and study today. They were even translated to Greek already.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Yes. Your opening post is still wrong, according to the Scriptures. James the Less had one brother: Josés/José, the other son of Cleophas/Alphaeus and the other Mary. (Matt. 27:56; Mark 15:40,47) James the brother of Jesus had three more brothers: Joseph, Judas and Simon, sons of Joseph and...
