ByGrace, So, what's the 'clear' message in context of 1 Tim 2:15 (ESV), 'Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control'? Oz

Jun, How does that comment line up with God being the God of justice/righteousness? 'Indeed, in truth, God does not act wickedly, and the Almighty does not pervert justice' (Job 34:12 NET). Who are the 'our eyes' and 'we'? Are you saying that God does this with all people? Are you...

Rollo, I do wish you would provide us with Scripture to support this statement. I'm not saying I disagree or agree, but with your assertion I have no way of checking which Scriptures you are referring to that support your statement. Please supply biblical evidence for your statement, 'Mary had...

skypair, The Greek word for faith is not pistes. It is pistis. I never said 'appears to me'. If the Greek doesn't tell the story, which language does? Belief / believe = faith in the Greek language. This article provides the biblical evidence: The Words of the Gospel: BELIEVE / FAITH. Oz

skypair, To be honest with you, 'indicates to me' is not a way to obtain the meaning of any text, including the Bible. We need to obtain the meaning out of the text by exegesis and not by an 'indication to me'. The latter is most often eisegesis - inserting meaning into the text. You say, 'But...

Scott, Are you referring to the meaning of ba-zing/bazing in the Urban dictionary? 'Expression exclaimed after insulting someone' or 'Can be heard on the cartoon show "Family Guy" used at the end of a sentence in which someone said something witty or even a joke' (Urban dictionary 2017. s.v...

skypair, In my understanding, you have the cart before the horse. Let's read Heb 11:8-10 (NIV): By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised...

Please provide evidence for your '3 forms of repentance'.

ByGrace, Please learn to back quote so that others know to whom you are replying. It was you who stated: ' I replied to that and now you tell me that I 'did not understand what I was saying. Because what you are saying that I said, I was not saying'. However, after all the effort I put...

Don't you understand the association of logic with writing logical sentences? If I didn't believe in the use of logic, I wouldn't be able to read any of your statements. Sentences communicate information from the writer to the reader. Correct grammar and syntax ensure that the information is...

The problem is that you do not address the issues I raised that deal with the topic of the OP: 'Logical and dialectical reasoning in Scripture'.

Stranger, He most certainly DID say there was a need to verify: Here it relates to prophecy: 'Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said' (1 Cor 14:29 NIV). Here the 'word of truth': 'Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a...

You still deal with mystical internal experiences that are not verifiable. You say it is by the inspiration of God within you but you gave no criteria for me to discern is it is God within you or the demons within. Experiences, in my view, will not satisfy people who are searching for...

ByGrace, You don't want others to 'comment upon it' or 'tell someone "what it means". Then you state: 'The great problem arises when 103 people each try and tell us what that "Absolute Truth" was meaning!!!' Now you've become the 104th person to try to tell us what 'Absolute Truth' is. It must...

Stranger, Try telling that to a person who has doubts about the reliability of the Bible, particularly those who have been to university and have been challenged by professors in class. You can try this on them: 'We who have the Holy Ghost receive those things that were written by the...

Come on, Mary! You should know that God gave Scripture by revelation to human beings. That is radically different from using people to interpret the Scripture. These are 2 totally different topics you have rolled into one. God gave us the recipe for deciding this: Now the Berean Jews were of...

Mary, You still don't answer my question: As for the meaning of binding and loosing in Matt 18:18-19, what is your interpretation of these scriptural verses? To what 'authority' do you refer? Oz

Avoiding again!

No, it's not enough because that evidence is subjective and it has no more clout than the subjective 'evidence God put in me' of another person who comes to a different conclusion.
