I know the intellectual theory. I was referring to it on an emotional level. Have you ever come to terms emotionally with Jesus sacrificing himself, not merely for you, but for your many bad choices? <sigh> It's overwhelming to me. YMMV. The only reason for the relationship between the...

Thank you Trevor for your thoughtful questions. I’m not sure of the dichotomy you’re presenting in a deep analysis of OT covenants flowing into the ministry of our Lord. My point is foundational, the beginning of such an analysis. The humility should come from blood having to be shed on...

Putting aside that there is no "Godhead" in the Bible, are all people who are called Emmanuel part of the Godhead? If not, why not? Peter is called rock but that doesn't literally mean he is a rock. I wonder how you pick and choose?

I wouldn’t get too wrapped up in any semantic differences. The first divine attribute, the eye of the camel is humility. We either rely on God or are guilty of some kind of IDOLATRY. We are grafted into God’s chosen people. That’s what this thread is about. In part, this too requires humility...

Yea, the most successful military campaign in human history is a failure because of TDS.

Free at last! Thank God almighty! I am Free at last! Sadly, many KJVO's don't acknowledge what you just did. I had a good friend for decades tell me that I have to read the KJV, like it were some sick sacrament or something. He couldn't get it through his IDOLATROUS mind that reading archaic...

LOL. Turning IDOLATRY on its head. One Ad Homenim after another. If you want to read a certain translation, allow others the same courtesy without making it seem like the trinity has been displaced with a quartney: F S HS KJV

Honoring my mother and father was ordered. ~ 3,700 years ago. Does that mean it doesn’t apply now?

How did you come to the conclusion that the word of God is being misused?

He has converted in practice, if not in theory, in self-identification.

Good question. I rotate among: CEV* NLT* VOICE ESV CJB* NSRV* Sometimes I dabble in NIV and my wife's AMP. * Already read cover to cover.

I was confused by all the blood, video evidence, eye witnesses and murdered man.

This is what I mean by over-spiritualization. The OT is filled with concrete, explicit soul-full histories of God using righteous violence to achieve justice on Earth here and now. It's not all about allegories. Jesus literally feed 1,000's and cured people's physical needs. It wasn't...

Often it is a mistake to take the literal word of God literally as there is a context that is not meant to have universal applicability. This is one of those times as I demonstrated. Said differently, IF this world is controlled by the devil, how do you reconcile that fact with the existence...

Incorrect. If this were true, Jesus would not have come OR have any effect. Yes, there is evil in this world and it is generally under the control of worldly considerations but this does not negate that God is now and always has acted powerfully in this world. See this very forum as evidence...

The best apology to that is the enemies of God have arguments, whereas God's children have experiences. This is always the experience; the ego blocks spiritual growth and connection with God. It is the Original Sin. Humans want to be their own God. It takes genuine humility to realize: (1). We...

A fact free post.

No, I don’t want to modify my statement one little bit. Trump is a genius and your TDS prevents you from seeing wonderful, miraculous results.

Welcome to the forums, BTW. I used to go to a fellowship in Sarnia, Ontario. I must have missed your intro thread. Could you tell us about your spiritual journey?
