Interesting video to watch on this subject. https://x.com/Visionaledge/status/1839361806164443494

Elect does not equate to Select. IE: Where the the Selected may include the Elect, it is not a requirement. Kapeesh? (Mispelled to draw Fran's ire)

In the gospel of John the story of "The Man Born Blind" explained this very theology and how it is NOT accurate. Also the ramifications of entering this argument. Which is why so many people do not understand the answer Jesus gave....because they are "blind" to the argument. They toss away...

This is why we do NOT allow unregulated illegal immigration. It must be measured, controlled, and systematic. https://x.com/realMaalouf/status/1841601274296320012

Because it is impossible to keep up with EVERY sort of error out there. Especially when there is more truth to learn...and we are occupied with learning truth. I am well aware that Jesus partially quoted Confucious and Buddah and several others...it does not change the fact that Jesus is God...

That would be better.... This thread is supposed to be centered on who or what has the ultimate authority....the Scriptures or the various Churches. It's a logical fallacy to "appeal to authority" or to use "no higher authority" when its something outside of scriptures....except when you...

I would say that some people overestimate their abilities to parse Hebrew in a coherent fashion. Basically it's going beyond what was said and using scissors on it at the same time....just to make it say what they wish it to say. It's not very often that I EVER disagree with translators and...

A hybrid works by generating electricity and filtering that electricity through a set of batteries of some sort to power electric motor(s). So you can move without fuel....just not very far. There exists either a single electric motor or one per wheel. (One per wheel has a LOT more...

Because of cognitive biases which lump them all together. Which essentially is prejudice. You are much more familiar with European Catholics which are radically different from American Catholics. Even Asian Catholics are different from other Catholics and the same goes for African Catholics...

Currently we have several denominations claiming that their churches have authority over scriptures. Methodists (they are still splitting over this) Catholics, Episcopalians, and Greek Orthodox (and a few others) are claiming they have authority which supercedes scriptures. Two have gone so...

Yes.... Overcomplication is very much a problem with new vehicles. Anyone looking to own a vehicle for decades instead of trading it in every few years knows to get a stripped down moden with as few features as possible. Because extras always break or need repairs. Power windows never last...

"Born from Above" is the proper translation instead of "born again" and Jesus is the most predicted life in the Old Testament....just like Nicodemus was predicted by prophesy. Which made them both under the heading and classification of "born from above". Which is a backhanded way of saying...

Where did this come from? I've never seen this translated this way before.

Ok... Yes there are different words used. Hebrew itself is a metaphorical language....meaning a verb based language using metaphors. Every word is a description of a scenario. The idea is difficult for those who have used a noun/object based language their entire lives. We see the word...

Yes.... You can "bara" a stone table, a wood table, a straw table, a water table.... But you can't "bara" a table without a material to make it from. Its a type of part of speech not in existence in English. A type of prepositional verb that demands a material. There's an implied "out of"...

Nope....it happens but it shouldn't. The first sentence in Genesis is not a complete sentence....it has been forced into being a complete sentence but it's a hanging preposition by the root "bara" demanding a material for the heavens and earth to be made from. But none is listed...

The word "Sabbath" means to cease. It is singular in the decalogue...FOR A REASON. It is the ending of the covenant and the installation of a New Covenant....one not focused on race as that would make God a racist. But a Covenant with the WHOLE WORLD. that whosoever believes will not...

John 1:14. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among men. Jesus is the very embodiment or manifestation of God's word. Sorry but I'm not going to differ on this and claim that man or the church has authority over scriptures.
