Previous posting of mine addressing this issue and logic thereof. Stephen was already a baptized believer, so according to Acts 2:38, he had already received the gift not gifts, which are the miraculous manifestation of the Spirit. It wasn't until they (the apostles) laid their hands on him...

A short discourse on this subject previously posted First of all, what is the soul? Some equate it with the spirit, but that's not correct. Some think that God gives you a soul which is also not correct. See below repost of mine. The bible says you become a living soul; you are not given one...

Just for clarity, the spirit is not the soul. The spirit and soul can be separated. Heb 4:12 12For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the...

You're missing the entire point which is that the 1st day and the beginning didn't happen simultaneously which most tend to believe. The beginning which OBVIOUSLY God created was a separate event in advance of the 1st day. Poetry? I don't think so nor does that make sense. Your comments are...

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning" - what does this really mean? "1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." God says exactly what he means and means exactly what he says, and his use of even the simplest of words cannot be overlooked, assumed, or taken for granted without careful...

More like light and darkness as opposed to night and day, day as we understand it

"In the beginning" preceded the 1st day on which light was created. And yes, there are 24hrs/day, which measurement criteria commenced on day 4. You can only assume days 1 thru 3 were measured similarly, but it's not definitive since the sun and moon were placed in the heavens "to divide...

Satan is Satan and was and is evil always

The only Supreme arbitrator I know doesn't live on this planet.

As I said, no one is qualified to serve as the supreme arbitrator, so your comments are illogical. I've offered my opinion and logic; study more to arrive at your own conclusion as did I.

I've stated my position. Who will be the arbitrator of a so-called bet? Makes no sense as no one possesses supreme authority to do so.

10 based on my own aforementioned study, knowledge, common sense, and understanding which I value above all else. I let the words of the bible and careful study guide me and not the opinions of others or that of religious organizations including that which I'm part of.

You can rely on so-called scholars and experts if you like, but the only opinion that I value is mine based on my own study, knowlege, common sense, and understanding.

I'm not of that belief or conviction nor do I interprete verse 32 ad such. Why the unique comment regarding Peleg as opposed to all the other comments prior to 32 and after 25? They all are no different than those pertaining to genealogy as is that of Peleg and Joktan. Peleg is just one...

For sure. But we may be wrong and mislead about the global nature of the world topography. Don't think of the world as separated into continents, but possibly as one contiguous body of land, i.e.; Pangea. In this regard, it's much easier to understand many things that are otherwise hard to...

The sun and moon didn't come into play until day 4, so no telling how long days 1, 2, and 3 were. A day is as a thousand years to the Lord and a thousand years as a day.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 13Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Paul was referring to himself as the language clearly indicates. This was Paul's thorn in the flesh as discussed in 2 Cor 12: "all manner of concupicense"

https://mainstchurchofchristbuffalony.com I think there are other congregations there too

Look for the church that resembles the bible. Not all so called churches are the same nor do they all strictly adhere to the word of God. See Titus and 1 Tim for clues to church organization and hierarchy. And of utmost importance, they must teach truth and be focused on saving souls.
