Alv, Do you believe in the Trinity and the deity of Christ? Oz

That is not what I stated. Please do not add to my statements.

Al, Have you never heard of an analogy or figure of speech used in the Bible? That's what I used in my statement. That's what Paul also used in 2 Cor 6:14. Take a read of these Bible teachers: Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers (14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with...

Fluffy, Do you attend an Anabaptist church? Or, would you be classed as Baptist in your beliefs today? Is your theology too far removed from the theology of the Southern Baptists or General Baptists? While I'm an Aussie, I attended and graduated from an Anabaptist Seminary, Ashland...

Alvertsky, Second Corinthians 6:14 commands: "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?" God gives the command for believers not to be yoked with unbelievers. That's good enough for me...

Billy, Jesus stated: ‘Immediately after the distress of those days ‘“the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.” 30 ‘Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the...

2nd Tim, You don't like the divergent commentaries written by human beings, yet you come to this forum to engage with those who have different views to yours and others. Don't you see your hypocrisy thundering in your posts? What an abominable statement you made about people learning apostasy...

2nd T, I find that disparaging that you could label some of God's teachers as a dude who wrote a book. Before God, you and I have a biblical responsibility for everything we hear or read: 'Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message...

2nd Tim, Righteous/just people don't need to repent. The Scribes and Pharisees saw themselves as 'just people' by their external behaviour because they lived regular lives. However, if we read Josephus and the Talmud we learn these Jewish leaders were guilty of a pile of barefaced sins. We see...

We can meet in church buildings in Qld as long as social distancing applies. However, this is a new challenge for us to get back to first century Christianity: Philemon 1:2 ESV Acts 20:20 Acts 2:46 Acts 2:42 Acts 5:42 1 Corinthians 16:19 Romans 16:5 Matthew 18:20...

John, One of my examiners, Dr Paul Barnett, an evangelical ancient history scholar from Sydney recommended I compose a book based on the dissertation. My supervisor at the University of Pretoria, Prof Ernest van Eck, also supports me in pursuing this goal. That's going to be a big task for 2021...

JohnDB, I'm writing Christian academic articles for journals, based on my PhD dissertation (dissertation-only in the British system). That is occupying most of my time at the moment. It took me 5 years of research to write the dissertation that can be found as, "Crossan and the resurrection of...

Josho, Australia is more cautious in accepting a new vaccine. This is Australia's and Prime Minister Scott Morrison's view: The Federal Government says it is prioritising the safety of Australians, as it waits on four vaccine candidates to pass certain stages in their approval process. The...

Michael, Let’s admit up front that the doctrine of the Trinity “is difficult and perplexing to us” (Sproul 1995, p. 35). Another has said that “no man can fully explain the Trinity. . . the Trinity is still largely incomprehensible to the mind of man” (Martin 1980, p. 25). The word, Trinity...

Barny, Excellent point. In this kind of discussion we seem to miss the purpose of Jesus's telling parables which generally were short agricultural stories with an application. The application generally was no more than 1 or 2 points: Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is...

CL, So, is the action of Jesus the same as the action of the Father and the action of the Spirit? Are you saying there are not 3 separate persons with 3 separate jobs to do in the Trinity? Oz

What are "rates" to which you refer? I pay rates on my land to the local Council. What's your version of "rates"?

What are the signs in the church that we are to look for to indicate they are unbelievers?

Who are the "tares"?
