I never recommend placing too much on anthropomorphisms which would make God look too small. A father can instill a healthy fear in their children. That does not equal abuse, or shear terror. We can have a healthy fear of God too. Yet, as I showed in the verse I quoted, it is a fearful thing to...

1 Jn. 1:7, “If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth from all sin.” The passage connects walking in the light and fellowship and to present tense cleansing form sin! What if the condition of fellowship...

You describe the danger of rock climbing and being motivated by fear. Personally, I would rather get down, go home, and change my underwear! :) (Great Post!)

Why would Jesus terrify His listeners with stories of Eternal agony and torment because of sin? How many come to Christ because they love God so much? Most people respond to God for fear of Judgement; they want what Christ offers to avoid future damnation. You really cannot love God unless you...

The context of gold, silver, precious stones vs. wood, hay and straw is not about sin and righteousness, but what is worthy of a reward and what is not. The context is Preachers and their motive. The competitive are not condemned by Paul, but told that they already have their reward, and it will...

A form of Pascal's Wager :) If say we believe and live holy lives, but we find in the end that it was not required; we lose nothing. If we say we believe and do not live holy lives, and in the end we find out it was required; we lose everything. Therefore, seeking for God to cleanse us...

Jesus said, "Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good to the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, to the resurrection of damnation." John 5:28-29. Paul writes that God "Who...

While you can never adequately display the spiritual realities with the physical, but a children's illustration is a good place to start. What is this?An egg... What is this? An Egg Shell, An Egg White, and an Egg Yolk All three are distinct and perform different functions; yet all three...

Just send me your bank account number and PIN, and I can show you how it unlocks the Photo feature! :) (Please don't!) I have not tried it in PM.

According to Scripture concerning the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Who raised Jesus from the dead? Was it: A) Jesus? (John 10:18, 2:19) B) The Holy Spirit? (Rom. 8:11) C) The Father? (Gal. 1:1) D) All of the above? (Acts 2:24) The answer is "D", and A, B, and C! All Three are...

He also missed the Gospel. Sad, Seminary may have helped him!

"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus...

Observing the thread, some people are "sad to see so many people thinking their Salvation depends upon their own performance." What saddens me is that I see so many people that think that obedience and performance is optional; depending on a fruitless faith. The Theological Pendulum swings...

"I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit, that I have great sorrow and unceasing grief in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who...

Telling the truth about your street corner linguistics is not pride.

Obviously, you don't have a Biblical answer. Absolutes are easy to disprove and debunk; just show us the New Testament command for Christians to observe the Sabbath, or where the Bible says "Christian Sabbath"! Intellectually, i would trust what the Bible says, not what people want to ineptly...

And every time you evade the real New Testament by failing to show where it shows us the New Testament command for Christians to observe the Sabbath, or where the Bible says "Christian Sabbath," we will PLAGUE you with it! :)

Says the New Testament! Or, more correctly, what it doesn't say... The New Testament knows nothing of a "Christian Sabbath." Kcnalp states an absolute! Absolutes are easy to disprove and debunk; just show us the New Testament command for Christians to observe the Sabbath, or where the Bible...

You answered your own question with Scripture. What do we do when someone demands that we keep the Sabbath as Christians? Answer: "Therefore do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food and drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or sabbaths." Colossians 2:16. Paul ended the...

Obviously, the answer is "No"! He cannot provide evidence.
