ViJ, v 4 in other translations include: 'Love is patient' (ESV); 'Love is patient' (NLT); 'Love is patient' (NIV). The KJV's 'suffereth long' is an excellent translation to get at the core of what this word means. You cited Ex 34:6 as an example of the need for long suffering. This does not...

GodsGrace, You are spot on. Eternal life begins now and continues as long as one continues to believe. John 5:24 (ESV) is an example to confirm this: ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgement, but has...

ByGrace, 1 Cor 15 is a LONG chapter of 58 verses. Please extend to us the courtesy of telling us which of these verses is 'flimsy' evidence for the Rapture. As for 1 Thess 4:16-18, I've already asked questions of that text in #53. I'm waiting for the exegesis of v. 17. Oz

You are the one making a goading assertion, 'a couple of flimsy scriptures'. At least extend to us the courtesy of providing your evidence of the 'flimsy'.

ByGrace, You've done it again. You've provided this assertion: 'a couple of flimsy scriptures....that "prove" nothing', and you don't even bother to tell us what those 'flimsy scriptures' are. Oz

Pipiripi, Welcome to CyB. My, you do live in a small country, that is part of The Netherlands. As for the Rapture, how do you understand this passage, especially v. 16: 13Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like...

ByGrace, That's your assertion, but you provided no evidence to support your view. If the teaching of the Rapture is incorrect, please provide us with biblical evidence. Oz

GP, Most of these people love the outback, otherwise they wouldn't stay through droughts that go on for years. This is currently what is happening in drought-stricken NW Qld, This is what is happening out west right now: Two-year-old April Batt and her four-year-old sister Daisy Batt were...

Josho, This is the kind of skiing we do in Queensland: Oz

GP, Sadly, plenty of hot humidity also helps with the build-up of storms. The outback does not experience storms like we do on the tropical and sub-tropical coasts because of the lack of humidity. That's not the only factor. However, some good falls have now been experienced in the outback of...

epostle1, Please document where I have done these on this forum, told lies; promoted misrepresentations; given false histories and exaggerations; been profane by the above actions; been obsessed with the middle ages; I refuse to back up my assertions with documented evidence; I am knee deep in...

GuidedPath, I wish I could send some of this hot, hot weather over to you on the next Qantas flight from Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne to London. Sadly it doesn't work that way. I think you'll have to wait until May-June for it to warm up. That's when I went to your country in 2000 when my son...

epostle1, John Wycliffe was not executed by anyone. This is how John Wyclif died: John Wycliffe died of his stroke on the last day of the year [1384]. The religious authorities had never excommunicated him because they feared public opinion--the people loved John and his fame was...

This kind of language causes me not to want to interact with you. I wonder how many others are turned off by this profane language.

Welcome Guided Path, I greet you from the other side of the globe, in Brisbane, Qld, Australia. Our max temp predicted for this Saturday is 30C and min overnight of 21C. I'm in the sub-tropics so humidity is high and we've been having quite a bit of heavy rain like this: I thank the Lord...

I consider this is too generalised a statement. Please examine the qualifications of those in the creation ministry in Australia: https://creation.com/about-us#who_we_are These scientists are not closed-minded to science, but they critique science through the lens of a biblical worldview.

No aggression, but it was a straight, transparent question. I teach a living room Bible study and there are no people who accuse me of being aggressive. It's a very open study with lots of contributions by the participants. You have judged me too harshly when I'm a plain speaking Aussie. Oz

Perhaps I assumed too much. Do you accept microevolution or not? Do you believe there are different varieties of oranges, but they are all oranges - an example of microevolution? What about human beings? There are Negroid, Asian, Middle-Eastern, Indian, Indigenous, and Caucasian human beings...

Butterfly, Basically, in my understanding, over a period of many years scientists did not believe the universe had a beginning. See: No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning The Big Bang is a theory that has developed more in recent times, although it was first proposed...

This is a healthy fear of the Lord: 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding' (Prov 9:10 NIV). See: What Does it Mean to Fear God? - Ligonier Ministries Oz
