Why don't you respond to that with biblical content?

It couldn't have come from God because Jesus is God and God said in Ps 51 and Ps 58 that we are sinners from conception, from birth.

amadeus, I only have the time to pick up on a couple of your points. Your presupposition about no NT during the life of the apostles meant that God was writing his Word on people's hearts, needs to be examined. We know from history that there was oral tradition that passed on the teachings of...

pia, This is your view: 'The way God sees it, babies and young children have no sin, as they do not yet comprehend what it is'. Let's check out what the Bible teaches. It states: For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and...

GodsGrace, The church I attend doesn't even have a Bible reading in the service. Yes, the Bible is quoted in Power Points on the screen during sermons - which are almost entirely topical. To me, this is a downgrade of the importance of Scripture. I'm about to take this up with the elders of...

amadeus, We would not know of the need to have the Word of God written in our hearts if we didn't have that doctrine in Scripture - on paper with ink. If we are demonstrating Christian teaching, it should be a foundation that it MUST be based on Scripture. Yes, MUST. How can it be Christian...

GodsGrace, I suppose that the challenge is to concisely understand their biblical errors and publish those views wherever possible. This is what I found I needed to do in my PhD dissertation when examining the presuppositions of John Dominic Crossan's view of the resurrection, not a bodily...

On a Christian forum, I thought it would be expedient for you to back up your teaching (doctrine) with Scripture. Or do you have to leave it as your own opinion? Oz

Where did I state that? Oz

GodsGrace, My view is that Ehrman became apostate when he revoked his Gospel-based Christianity for his now liberal view. One of the challenges with his book, How Jesus Became Go, is that it is written for the laity level for a popular audience. Those who don't know their Bible and are...

I agree. However, 'the firstborn from the dead' is another topic.

GodsGrace, If you read the former evangelical scholar, now skeptic and liberal scholar, Bart Ehrman, you'll find this kind of theology. See his book, How Jesus Became God. On Dr Larry Hurtado's blog you'll find his review of Ehrman's book at, How Jesus became “God,” per Ehrman | Larry...

You provided zero Scripture to support your doctrine. Not one reference! In #158 I demonstrated to you that the Greek NT confirms that 'No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man' (John 3:13 ESV). The one who descended from heaven was not only the Son of...

Sword, I found your post insulting to Brother Jason. This is such an important issue that the answer to 'What is the Gospel?' depends on it. As Jason said: Charles Spurgeon has said many funny things about Calvinism, such as, “It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel...

GodsGrace, So are you Wondering from northern Italy? I'm the Aussie bloke from northern Brissy, Qld, Australia. Same fellow OzSpen. Got a contract on my house on Saturday & hope to be leaving here to go to my down-sized 2-bedroom villa in a month. In your understanding, is Jesus the One True...

pia, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but to say that 'he was A Son of Man' is not a biblical position, according to John 3:13, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀναβέβηκεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν εἰ μὴ ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς, ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου (SBLNT). ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου = ho huios tou anthrwpou = the Son of the Man. Oz

Armadillo, In 1 John 4:2-3. John was addressing a dominant heresy of the first century that continued into the second century. The heresy was Gnosticism that included the belief that Jesus did not come in the flesh. This heresy claimed that the physical, material world is bad and the spirit...

amadeus, The UPCI's statement of its belief in God is: An Appreciation of God’s Identity The beautiful message of Scripture is that our Creator became our Savior. The God against whom we sinned is the One who forgives us. God loved us so much that He came in flesh to save us. He gave of...

mjr, That's not what my Bible states. This will happen at the Final Judgment. Jesus said: “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘You are cursed! Go away from me into the fire that burns forever. It has been prepared for the devil and his angels" (Matt 25:41 NIRV). Oz

Please deal with the Scriptures I mentioned. I'm dealing with what the Scriptures state about false doctrine, false prophets and false teachers.
