Why have you plagiarised that statement about the author of Hebrews from the 'Got Questions?' website? I'm speaking about your statement: 'Either Paul wrote the epistle, or the writer was trained by Paul. Although it is a small detail, this epistle makes mention of Timothy (Hebrews 13:23), and...

From where did you obtain that statistic? What is the evidence for your information about adultery?

So which are the other books that should be in the Bible? Are you saying that all Bibles should include the Apocrypha? Have you read the content of (1) Tobit and, (2) Bel and the Dragon lately? Or, should the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of the Hebrews, Gospel of Philip...

Romans 10:8-17 tells us where it comes from: We need to understand that faith comes from God. He is the one who changes us. It is from the God-changed heart that we believe and are justified. But where does it start? With proclamation of the Gospel and God takes that Word to change us so that...

As one who reads and teaches NT Greek, I would have found it very difficult to do intro to NT Greek with no background. That was the position I was in way back in 1975 when I took a summer course under Dr Larry Hurtado at Regent College, Vancouver, Canada, using John Wenham's text, The Elements...

So is that what you mean by the language, "Jesus is deity of the Father"? It's rather confusing language because that is not the kind of language the NT uses. But if that is what you mean that both Jesus, the Son, and God the Father are both deity, I can accept that as NT teaching. However...

Why don't you sign this petition, 'Andrew's and Myuran's deaths were shocking – end AFP sharing info on death penalty cases', to protest against what the Australian Federal Police did in alerting the Indonesian police, so that this never happens again? If this strikes a chord with you, you could...

If it is the only language of the NT, please provide the biblical evidence. It is 'confusing' language because I don't find such terminology in the NT that 'Jesus is deity of the Father'.

You still are not dealing with the issue. What is the meaning of 'deity'? It does NOT mean 'begotten'. It means 'god, goddess, God, Supreme Being'. Yes, the deity of Christ is clear (I provided biblical evidence for such) but 'Jesus is deity of the Father' is not the language of the NT. In...

I don't know which dictionary you are reading, but 'deity' does not mean 'begotten'. It means 'god, goddess, Supreme Being' (dictionary.com). I asked: 'I don't understand your language that "Jesus is deity of the Father". In your understanding, are you saying that Jesus has a deity derived from...

They are called the attributes of God: omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence, immutability (i.e. unchangeable), holiness, righteousness/justice, goodness, love, benevolence, mercy, grace, and truth. Oz

ATP, I understand that Scripture teaches that: The Father is God (Jn 6:27; Rm 1:7; Gal 1:1, 3, etc); Jesus, the Son, is God (Mt 16:15; 22:41-46; Mk 12:35-37; Lk 20:41-44); The Holy Spirit is God (Heb 9:14; 1 Cor 2:10-11; Jn 14:26; 16:12-13). However, I don't understand your language that...

Phoneman777, You demonstrate again that you don't understand the meaning of 'obsolete' and 'to vanish away'. This is what 2 Cor 3:1-3 states: There is not a word here about the Ten Commandments - not a single word. You have imposed on the text what you want it to mean. Do you know what that is...

Brothers & sisters in Christ, In the story of this horrific execution by firing squad in Indonesia, the Brisbane Times (29 April 2015) reported in, 'Bali executions: Eight prisoners refused to wear blindfolds as they were shot': As details began to emerge of the final minutes of the group, who...

Phoneman777, Don't you understand the meaning of 'obsolete' and 'to vanish away'? obsolete = 'of a discarded or outmoded type; out of date' (dictionary.com) vanish = 'to disappear by ceasing to exist; come to an end' (dictionary.com) ‘In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one...

‘In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away’ (Heb 8:13). Don't you understand the meaning of 'obsolete' and 'to vanish away'?

Phoneman, False allegations against me lead to my avoidance of your responses to me on this topic. I have demonstrated to you biblically that the Old Covenant requirements have been superseded by the New Covenant and then you have the audacity to say that 'your post is full of inaccuracies'...

Phoneman777, You have now demonstrated to me that I'm wasting my time discussing the New Covenant with you and its superseding the Old Covenant. Your presuppositions are overwhelming the evidence that I provided. Bye! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Phoneman777, The apostle Paul made it clear that the Old Covenant was superseded by the New Covenant: ‘For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the...

That is not an answer to what I asked at #306, 'Where are we told to "remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy" in the NT?' In Col 2:16, the three terms, festival, new moon, and sabbath often occur together in the OT (see the LXX of Hos 2:13; Ezek 45:17; 1 Chron 23:31; 2 Chron 2:3; 31:3). To...
