    The gift of tongues

    You provided not one piece of biblical support for this statement.

    The gift of tongues

    That kind of cynical comment doesn't progress the discussion on the biblical gift of tongues, which is as much a gift of the Spirit as teaching, administrating and helping (1 Cor 12:28-30).

    Why do so many Christains treat unbelievers as the enemy of God?

    101G, Did you notice what you did? You did not address what I wrote: Instead of dealing with the eternal God, the Son, and the human Jesus Christ on earth who was crucified and raised, you avoid dealing with the Scriptures I provided. You go to 2 Cor 1:3 (ESV), 'Blessed be the God and Father...

    Why do so many Christains treat unbelievers as the enemy of God?

    101G, I asked: 'Where do we find biblical explanations for the job description and character traits of a pastor (as compared with a bishop or elder)?' Your response was Jer 3:15, which reads, 'Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and...

    Why do so many Christains treat unbelievers as the enemy of God?

    You have overlooked one crucial doctrine, the teaching on the God the Son. Your answer here refers to the conception of the human Jesus. The Son of God has always existed. Jesus, the Son in flesh, was only on earth for about 30 years to provide salvation for all human beings because of his...

    Why do so many Christains treat unbelievers as the enemy of God?

    I will not fall for your yes/no request because you are using a human analogy and you are not dealing with the Scriptures I provided. So who is the Conceiver of the Holy Spirit and the Son and the Father? Oz

    Why do so many Christains treat unbelievers as the enemy of God?

    That's an argument from silence, which is a logical fallacy. Where do we find biblical explanations for the job description and character traits of a pastor (as compared with a bishop or elder)? Notice that 1 Tim 3:12 (ESV) states that deacons should be 'the husband of one wife'. Yet Rom...

    Why do so many Christains treat unbelievers as the enemy of God?

    Salvation issues are critical in our doctrine of the Trinity because the Trinity defines which God we worship. This is only a brief diagrammatic summary of the Trinity: (image courtesy Christianity 201)

    Are you serious that "we're the Son of God"?

    Adam....where art thou !?

    twinc, We could ask the same question of all of the OT saints. Was Moses saved and if so by what means? The OT and NT way to salvation is the same, by grace through faith. Paul demonstrated this in his example about Abraham. Abraham was saved by faith: 'What does Scripture say? "Abraham...

    I need a distance learning bible college that is extremely affordable and accredited!

    Christian, Why don't you investigate the Faculty of Theology at the University of Pretoria, South Africa? I have my PhD in NT (dissertation only) from this university. It's the official training university for Dutch Reformed Church ministers. Because of the devaluation of the Rand, I found the...

    What is Truth?

    Yes I did. I asked you: "What's the meaning of aletheia? Take a read of the Oxford dictionary's definition (2017. s v truth)". Bye, Oz

    Jesus is a human being but not the one true God

    Guestman, The GNB (TEV) and The Living Bible are not translations. They are paraphrases. A review of BeDuhn's book states: Truth in Translation is an excellent book. It is well worth reading. BeDuhn has done an outstanding job of explaining and illustrating translation bias in the New...

    Restrictions since homosexual marriage legalised

    I asked that question of KCKID: Are you prepared to accept the deleterious consequences of marriage being 'no one else's business but the parties concerned'? I in no way hinted or stated that that was my position. Oz

    Restrictions since homosexual marriage legalised

    Your question was: "Are you prepared to accept the deleterious consequences of marriage being 'no one else's business but the parties concerned'?" Nowhere in this thread have I ever suggested that marriage is 'no one else's business but the parties concerned'. That's a straw man fallacy. Oz

    What is Truth?

    Which means? You are dancing around your giving a definition of truth.

    What is Truth?

    That doesn't answer what I asked: Mine was a serious question. What's the meaning of aletheia? Take a read of the Oxford dictionary's definition (2017. s v truth).
