well. That's the mystery isn't it. We know the Father is God. We are told the Son is God. Unless you call God a liar of course. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a...

Very dogmatic aren't you? “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;” Titus 2:13 This is a specific reference to the second coming of Jesus. It is referring to Christ as “Saviour” and “the great God”. Some translations place a...

KJV Revelation 13:2 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority .

That is the definition of Hellenistic Judaism but it is not necessarily the description of Hellenistic Jews. Hellenistic Jews may have retained most of their religious beliefs but adopted part of the Greco-Roman culture and had friendly relationships with and work for or did business with...

It is syncretism and is a form of spiritual adultery and compromise. It is a negative thing. It is manifested in the NT in the beast from the sea of revelation 13. It is a Christian professing entity with elements of paganism infused into it's character. It is Antichrist.

Thank you for that clarification.

Scripture has been presented to show the Father calling His Son, God. The Son stated He and the Father are one. We know they are one in character, and I'm purpose, similar to how we also maybe one in them. What we are not told is how they are one in relationship. In personality, clearly 2...

Copied from a previous post of mine from 2 years ago...The following expresses not only my own personal testimony, but how I believe Sola scriptura ought to be exercised. To develop a healthy scepticism toward our own beliefs and values. Trust the scriptures more than any of our current...

Yet you contradict the way you interpret the above by your personal testimony that you obey the commandments regarding stealing, adultery, coveting etc. Are the Ten Commandments nailed to the cross our not? If not, what is the 4th Commandment the exception?

Good stuff my friend. KJV John 3:5-8 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said...

My wife and I haven't smoked for 20 years or so. When we come outside of a mall or supermarket, where there may be just one person smoking 20 yards away, we both instantly recoil in disgust. Not disgust of the person, but the smell. It just seems so foul, I'm embarrassed that way back I use to...

More so today than at any other time in human history, we need the Sabbath, that appointment whereby we come and meet with the Lord of the Sabbath to rest, and be refreshed.

Simon, one of the 12, was not Hebrew. See Matthew 10:4.

That's the self deception @CadyandZoe was talking about. My Catholic upbringing had a lot to do with that. I remember well that when I left the Catholic faith in favor of the local Assembly of God, the first few months I was constantly having to exercise faith in God's leading, denying the...

Totally agree. Which actually leads to another question however... Is our justification equivalent to being saved in the end? In other words, is our sanctification necessary, essential, to our final saved position?

After 10 or more years as a backslidden pentecostal Christian, my marriage in danger of imploding, my children already in that process, I came to Jesus to do with me what you describe... What you were naturally ignorant of seeking light, I did what our good friend @amadeus recommends so often...

Indeed. Sanctification cannot be accomplished without Christ's intercession and priestly role. "Without Me ye can do nothing".

Coveting is the same as lust. You don't need to act on it in order to be found guilty before a holy God. Why do you obey those Commandments?
