    The Divine Exchange

    If what you're saying is true, Paul wouldn't have talked about having to "keep my body under and bring it into submission". Don't you remember he talked about "sin in my members"? That's nothing other than the war between the "natural man" and the "spiritual man" in which the "natural man" keeps...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    I find it helpful to remember that the Vatican is perfectly happy for us to read the CT but hates the TR and anything else related to the Reformation, and put to death anyone that possessed them. Kinda telling, dontcha think?

    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    There are ALWAYS those who are ready to hear. God says His Word never returns unto Him void -

    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    There were many false prophets of old in the land, but God still kept sending the true anyway, right or wrong? Ask Jeremiah.

    Difference between Catholic and Protestant.

    The ones Jesus quoted in the NT and wrote with His finger in stone at Sinai in the OT - the Ten Commandments. Catholicism claims to have changed the Ten Commandments (as well as other things set forth in Scripture) and therefore cannot be the end time "remnant" church because what they teach...

    The Divine Exchange

    Paul said he has to die daily. That tells me the old man of sin is constantly trying to climb out of the coffin, and we have to keep slamming it shut on him. He said he has to "keep my body under and bring it into submission". "Keep" denotes the putting forth of constant effort to maintain a...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    If He was trying to simply prove He was "older", He would have said, "Before Abraham was, I was". That's proper syntax in ANY language and if anyone knew how to frame a thought, it was He of Whom it was said, "No man ever spoke like this Man". Again, "Before Abraham was, I was". That what you...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    And you can't pretend what disproves your point is not there. You can't point to the texts which proves the human nature of Jesus and ignore the ones that prove His simultaneous divine, everlasting to everlasting nature.

    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    I think they were a bad review of those who "earnestly contend for the faith".

    I see our problem. I trust the TR and you don't, and I don't think the CT is worth the paper it's written but you highly regard it. We can still be friends, I hope :)

    It's about "relationship"...right?

    I don't engage in strawman tactics - what is the question I'm supposedly unable to answer?

    It's about "relationship"...right?

    No, my comprehension is fine - but you seem to have a bit of trouble keeping the discussion straight. Your words "If you're trying to be saved by law" very much warranted my response which was that works are not any means to an end - either salvation or condemnation - but are merely the outward...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    I'm not too keen on other translations, though I do consider them, because sometimes they're actually better than my KJV. However, the TR has it right: "For unless ye beleive that I AM, ye shall die in your sins". I can't but see Jesus is here telling us we've got to believe He is fully God sent...

    She does most of it - and works part time, as well, bless her heart. One day she asked me to talk about what we dislike about each other said she'd go first I had to listen to how she hated the way I eat and the way I leave clothes and tools lying around and I drive too fast and yada yada...then...

    The Divine Exchange

    One inspired writer says God doesn't merely look upon the wretchedness of man, but the potential to become what God originally intended if we would but allow ourselves to be touched by His grace. Now that's a love that can't possibly be reserved, but freely offered to all in my book.

    I keep telling my wife that if she keeps up with the aggravation, I'm gonna spend the rest of my days telling the prison psychiatrist all about her.

    As far as I know, he died of sound mind ;)

    "And I Will Profess Unto Them, I Never Knew...Who, Exactly?"

    Not after it's shown to be such. And watchmen on the wall that refuse to sound the warning will go to hell just the same as those who attack the truth over which he stands guard. Who are you to judge what another sees? We owe a debt of gratitude to one of the most notoriously stubborn men who...

    The Divine Exchange

    The idea that God preprograms some to be saved and others to be lost is so foreign to the character of God borne out in the OT and NT, that one can hardly imagine it would be given any serious consideration, let alone govern the thinking of millions of Christians. The Gospel of Exclusivity is...

    What benefit does it produce to make Jesus God

    I heard a preacher say if you try to explain it, you'll lose your mind, but if you refuse to believe it, you'll lose your soul". "For if ye believe not that I AM, ye shall DIE in your sins".
