Well said. Three separate Persons, One God. Like ice, water, and steam are 3 different manifestations of the same H2O. I remember watching an episode of Star Trek where they were on a strange planet trapped by these "3 despot gods" who spoke with different voices, and I remember thinking...

I can't believe 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV - said to be the LOUDEST verse in all the Bible - was fulfilled locally in Jerusalem during the first or second century. I mean, can we really argue the "heavens departed as a scroll" and "every island fled away" and all that other Earth-shattering...

Let's find out what the "law of Christ" is: "Give ear, O My people to MY law: Incline your ears unto the words of MY mouth (the Ten Commandments). I will open My mouth in parable..." Psalms 78:1-2 KJV "In all these things spake JESUS in parables, and without a parable spake He not unto them...

Alright, I know it wasn't you, but who was it that complained to the mods on CC? I suspect it was that childish Snacks.

Does grace allow you to disregard the commandment to have no gods before God? If not, what Biblical precedent is there for retaining the First Commandment but disregarding the Fourth?

C'mon, we ain't legalistic. By definition, a Legalist is one who attempts to gain salvation by works. SDAs teach works are merely the outward evidence of our chosen inward spiritual condition.

Let's see if we can spot any "carnal hypocrisy" here: SDAs worship in Spirit and in Truth, working on Sabbath is forbidden (except for Biblical precedent like Jesus healing, emergencies, etc.), I return tithe on gross plus offerings, the Law of Moses and the Law of God are Biblically distinct...

He's called "Samuel" because it was a demon impersonating Samuel. How do we know? Because "the dead know not anything...neither have they a portion in anything that is done under the sun...(and)...he shall return no more to his house". What's terrible hermeneutic is ignoring what other texts...

You seem to have totally missed what I meant by "Jesus was..." Try checking the post I was responding to.

Solomon says it couldn't have been Samuel. So does Job. Did you ever read in Job where it says the dead will not be raised out of their sleep? Or, where he says the dead don't know or perceive? Or, where Job says a dead man shall return no more to his house? What about Solomon? He said the...

Agreed. Thank you.

"And all flesh went into the Ark, two by two, WHEREIN IS THE BREATH OF LIFE". (Jesus was breathing "spiritual life" aka "sanctifying power" - NOT the "life giving principle of God which animates the inanimate". They already had that, as evidenced by their speech, motor function, farts, etc.)

Are Jerusalem, Sodom, and Gomorrah still burning with their eternal fires which shall not be quenched? Does "forever" (Greek: "Aionios") mean "duration-either undefined but not endless, or undefined because endless"???

I think we're splitting hairs here. Calvinism doesn't deny our free will choice to get fries or onion rings...it denies we have free will choice to accept or decline salvation. That's not Biblical - else the Biblel wouldn't have included all those verses about our responsibility to choose wisely.

Let's keep things straight: There's a difference between using your brain to choose to work, and using your brain to do the work. You paid for the latter, NOT THE FORMER.

Do your 37 English translations also say Jerusalem was burned with fire "that shall not be quenched" and Sodom and Gomorrah suffered "the vengeance of eternal fire"??? I'm glad to only have to ask once, not 37 times: "Is Jerusalem, Sodom, and Gomorrah still burning today?

Can you sum up what your point was for me?

And it's a habitual habit with you to deny the facts of Scripture and selectively quote it to establish your incoherent drivel...as well as utilizing false equivalences, verses separated from context, and now disregarding the OT Hebrew in favor of the LXX when you think it proves your point. You...

The nutjobs are the ones who take the strongest words the Greek tongue possesses which indicate "destroy" and "destruction" and turn them into "maintain an everlasting but wretched existence". "Destroy both body and soul in hell" means "still there and conscious and writhing in agony"...

Good, and I think I've shown you full well that by making "God of the living" teach that the dead go to heaven before the resurrection, Christ's argument with which He proves the resurrection is stolen from Him.
