    Heaven - When?

    WEll as that has the same meaning in the first and 21st century -yes! But there are many things written that mean something different (either a little or alot) from the first to the 21st century. The kingdom of heaven (God) is one.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    No they are not! Now you need to establish that the Septuagint use is the most valid use ion light of the definition I posted. You also need to establish that Mary or Joseph and brothers or sisters who settled in to Nazareth and had children who would be Jesus' cousins. Remember Nazareth was...

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Well it is just you and a few others who have been deceived by doctrine of demons who believe you no longer commit any sin in thought word or deed. I would love to read your mind and see how you justify your sins to not have to call them sin.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    And your gospewl of living a sinlessly perfect life is a false gospel. I rely on Scripture you rely on your opinion of Scripture.

    Heaven - When?

    Well you would be wrong. If you wish to interpret 1st cwntury letters with only a 21st century mindset- well we have seen the damage caused by the church with that . Joel Osteen Benny HInn, Joyce Meyers et.al.

    Living what we preach. Faith alone vs faith with works

    You must repent. Your pseudo spirituality is nauseating.

    We are judged by works, not by faith

    Well as I do not know at all whom you speak of in this, I can't answer to that. But in my 49 years of walking with the Lord all my preachers and teachers have said we are justified by faith alone and then produce the good works that justify our justification by faith alone. First we are made...

    Heaven - When?

    Now if you took them at fiorst century face value instead of a 21st century mind set and keepiong the kingdom in light of all OT prophecies concerning the king and kingdom, you would come up with a much different answer. Jesus spoke to 1st century Jews, not 21st Century gentiles.

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    The hebrew word in Gen. 13:8 is "ahim" and is in English the following: alike (1), another (16), brethren (17), brother (218), brother with his brothers (1), brother's (21), brotherhood (1), brothers (195), brothers' (1), companions (1), countryman (10), countryman's (2), countrymen (10)...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    Well then let me be direct. Yes, just because Mary and Joseph had sex after jesus was born does not prove other children. But use of the term first born strongly implies a second born and possibly more, and coupled with Matthew 13 it shows jesus had four half brothers and at least 2 half...

    Were they Jesus's siblings?

    But Hebrew and Greek are two differing languages and did not have the same vocabulary. YOu also used a meaning that does not exist for adelphos. Here is the accepted definintions of Adelphos by all greek linguistic scholars: a brother, whether born of the same two parents or only of the same...

    Heaven - When?

    Matthew did not misquote. It is you locked into a misunderstanding of how they spoke in the culture of the day. A good Jew would not write GOD in HIs writings, especially iof He is trying to evangelize Jews! Remember what Paul said, "Tot he Jews I became as a Jew in order to win some. to teh...

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    There is no Scripture to show this That is not what the Scriptures say. I just showed you what the bible says. Even for the disciples, Jesus said, "you did not choose me, but I chose you".

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    Then you need to find out how an unsaved man can overcome what the bible says about the unsaved: Romans 8:7-8 King James Version 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please...

    Heaven - When?

    You have to remember that this was written in Matthew. Matthrew wrote his gospel to the Jewish people and would not have used the word God! Israel knew the prophecy of the 770 weeks of Daniel and at the time of Jesus' arrival there was a real Messianic fervor in Israel waiting for the promised...

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    It is possible, but whether or not He does we cannot know. God knows everything. Omniscient means all knowledge. He foretold events decades, centuries and millenia in advance. Jesus saw Phillip under teh fig tree and knew his thoughts. Unsaved man does not have the will to choose or not...

    If the Catholic Church gave us the Bible, where is it?

    It is the catholic(universal, small c) church that created the bible. The catholic(small c) is the body of Christ found in all sects and denominations of Christendom. The Catholic (big C)church is the Roman Church and it associates that accept the pope as a successor to the apostles.

    Discovering : Counterfeit Faith

    We agree on something!!!! This could become a trend!!!!!

    Heaven - When?

    When Jesus announced that- He was not referring to heaven but to the prophesied and promised kingdom god would give to Israel.

    Free-will vs No Free-will (God knows everything?)

    Well God knows all He chooses. Whether He keeps some thing unknown to Himself is not declared so we should not try to answer that, for it is futile for we can never know how right or wrong we are. The bible declares God is omniscient (knows all) so that needs to suffice us. Also simply...
