No, that is not a logical deduction! Only a perfect sinless man could pay Adam's penalty for sin in his place. God is not a man, nor can he become a mortal man: Numbers 23:19 (WEB): (19) God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he...

Because no man could give their life as a sacrifice because all men are unrighteous and sinners - Romans 3:10-12 (WEB): (10) As it is written, “There is no one righteous; no, not one. (11) There is no one who understands. There is no one who seeks after God. (12) They have all turned away...

God is the creator, but he chose to have His Son perform the creation. Originally only God existed. Then He begat, or created, His Son (who we refer to as Jesus). It was God's will, plan and design, to create angels, the physical universe, planet earth, and all life on earth, and to create...

No it doesn't. Jesus said in prayer to God, his Father, John 17:3 (WEB): (3) This is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and him whom you sent, Jesus Christ. And later concluded - Mark 15:39 (WEB): (39) When the centurion, who stood by opposite him, saw that he...

You should include the preceeding verses to include the context - Matthew 16:15-17 (WEB): (15) He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” (16) Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (17) Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh...

This is the note from the Updated American Standard Version Bible: Mark 3:18 UASV+ (18) and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean; N6 N6: Cananaean, the: (Καναναῖος Kananaios) A term from Aramaic...

The why do you bother participating in this forum? I presume that you believe the Scriptures, so you must believe Acts 8:5-8 (WEB): (5) Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ. (6) The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by...

So you're calling me a liar? I had been suffering with the back problem for about four months, and it just wasn't getting better. At the end of the evangelist's (Reinhard Bonnke) meeting, because the place was packed and some people were even watching on closed circuit TV from an overflow...

You can't command God to do something and expect God to do it, but you can ask Him to do something and He might do it. When an evangelist asks God, in Jesus' name, to heal somebody, and that person is immediately miraculously healed, would you accept that as proof that God exists? It happened...

Those who lived before Christ's sacrifice were not called to be part of the Kingdom of Heaven. Luke 7:28 (WEB): (28) “For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he.” Matthew...

Many Christians don't understand that there are two classes of saints - those that lived before the resurrection and rapture, and those that became saints after the rapture. The early Church fathers understood that; I recently watched this video which explains that - More Pre-Darby Rapture...

You had posted: So explain Jesus' "revelation on paradise" that you referred to (but were too lazy to give the Bible reference to - Psalms 16:10). Go on then, show us from the Bible what you've learnt from your study on Paradise, and explain how Peter's explanation of Psalms 16:10 was...

From a variety of Bible study articles many years ago. It particularly refers to the Great Multitude class of Revelation 7. Revelation 7:14-15 (WEB): (14) I told him, “My lord, you know.” He said to me, “These are those who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made...

Can you be precise - what is bad? That I believe they died again? Well there is nobody living today that is nearly 2,000 years old, so I'm sure they did die! Or were you referring to Paul's point that the patriarchs and other Old Testament saints would not receive their promised reward and...

David's body has decayed. Peter explained that David was prophetically referring to the coming Messiah - Acts 2:25-32 (WEB): (25) For David says concerning him, ‘I saw the Lord always before my face, For he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. (26) Therefore my heart was glad...

Calling somebody a hypocrite is not calling them names or deliberately insulting them, it's just plainly telling them what they are (a dictionary definition is "A person who pretends to be what he or she is not; specif., one who pretends to be pious, virtuous, etc. without really being so")...

I have to agree. The word patriarch is only used four times in the bible: Acts 2:29 “Brothers, I may tell you freely of the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Acts 7:8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father...

I can't think of an example of Jesus calling people names and throwing insults at people. He always spoke firmly but with love and sympathy for their fallen condition. Sorry, I didn't mean to direct that post just at you! I just quoted your previous post as the most recent example in the...

Let's try to not forget: Galatians 5:22-26 (WEB): (22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, (23) gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (24) Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and...

Okay, but that is a different subject, and I was not sabre-rattling! My post was more in keeping with this discussion about "why Islam is dedicated to destroying Israel". God speaks of the perpetual hatred between Esau and Jacob (Israel) because Jacob took Esau's birthright and his blessing -...
