    Why the Jews wanted the crosses removed “THAT DAY”

    I will pray for your reading comprehension handicap. Until God heals you, I will leave you alone. :stageright:

    You Probably Believe This Lie

    Thank you! “If you hear my word and Believe in the One that sent me, you Already Have Eternal Life and shall NEVER come under Condemnation” John 5:24 [NASB95] "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment...

    Why the Jews wanted the crosses removed “THAT DAY”

    I offer a quick lesson in English Grammar: Only the words within the quotation marks are a direct (verbatim) quotation. The words outside the quotation marks are either my original words or a paraphrase or have been altered in some way from the original. In the case of Post #9, against which...

    Why the Jews wanted the crosses removed “THAT DAY”

    I would respond ... but I can't follow your "stream of consciousness" writing. FYI: The term is "Okie" (Okies) not "oukies" Okie: [from Merriam-Webster Dictionary] 1 (informal): a native or resident of Oklahoma 2 (informal + sometimes disparaging): a migrant agricultural worker; especially...

    You Probably Believe This Lie

    What verse is that ... I could not find that combination of words in any translation of any verse and wanted to read both the original and the surrounding context.

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    I was "respectfully disagreeing" with your view that an individual's eternal destiny depends on the will of each individual. The verses were not intended to refute your position as much as they were intended to outline with a broad brush support for my conclusion at the bottom. Breaking it...

    Why the Jews wanted the crosses removed “THAT DAY”

    The Disciples DID encounter Jesus resurrected on the first day of the week, as they walked down the road. They told him that this was the THIRD DAY since "these things happened" [ie. Jesus was betrayed by the leaders and crucified]. [see Luke 24]

    The Atonement: What did it REALLY Accomplish?

    [Genesis 3:8 NKJV] 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. [John 3:19-21 NKJV] 19 "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the...

    Why the Jews wanted the crosses removed “THAT DAY”

    Good point ... although you could have just opened with it. God ordered bodies not to remain hung on a tree to avoid a curse on the "land/people" rather than upon the dead. So Jewish Law demanded the bodies be removed now (since after sunset, they would have to either violate one law or...

    You Probably Believe This Lie

    If it were possible for people to disqualify themselves from obtaining the salvation purchased with Christ's blood, we all surely would (just as Adam and Eve so easily lost humanity's innocence). Thus if anyone is saved, it is 100% of God to both GIVE the gift [Ephesians 2:8-9] and to SUSTAIN...

    Sinless Perfectionism

    It's Hard to Be Humble by Mac Davis Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way I can't wait to look in the mirror Cause I get better lookin' each day To know me is to love me I must be a [heck]of a man Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble But I'm doin' the best that I can I...

    Do you think there is anything positive about the Democratic Party?

    "These legislations are direct violations of Constitutional rights and the Nuremberg Code." I am confident that none of the legislation advocates for (or mandates) "the creation of viruses designed to kill" or their "intentional release", so applying the Nuremberg Code to requirements for...

    Lifesaver

    I also think the point of the story is actually the heart of the son that stayed. Yes, we "prodigals" needed to know that our Father still loved us, but ... ... the story was for those that "thanked God they were not like those Tax Collectors and Prodigal Sons".

    About the Unforgivable Sin, Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit

    Cut to the answer from the article ... The Secret Is In The Greek… For those who have the “by-the-text” interpretation mention above, one piece of information that helped me incredibly is understanding the Greek grammar tenses. You can see from the quotes of Matthew, Mark, and Luke above that...

    Do you think there is anything positive about the Democratic Party?

    The "Nuremberg Code" concerns "human experimentation" (and the ethics thereof). It is a bit of a reach to apply that to requirements for vaccinations to attend Schools or Daycare. Other than that, I agree that rights are being trampled if the descriptions of the legislation are accurate.

    Have I grieved/quenched the Holy Spirit

    I like trusting the WORDS OF GOD and reading them in the context that they were given to understand them. Here is what GOD says about "grieving the Holy Spirit" in an easy to understand translation (because in this case, the "big picture" matters more than the "subtle details"). Ephesians...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    :jest: John 20:28-29 [ASV] Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed. [CSB] Thomas responded to him, "My Lord and my God! " Jesus said, "Because...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    I don’t know … prior to this generation, there seemed to be less confusion about the basic definition of “boy” and “girl”. ;) People seem to invent new ways of doing the same old evils - I suspect our inventiveness occasionally shocks even Satan.

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    Or … they have a 50/50 chance. If the Preterists are correct, then the “really bad times” already happened and they escaped them (by being born after the ‘Tribulation’) If the Pre-Trib Rapture group is correct, then Jesus will sneak them out before the “really bad times”. If the Mid/Post-Trib...
