Why do you think Adam and Eve hid themselves in the garden after eating the fruit? They said why, 'because we were afraid'. Of who? God? Yes, but not because of anything He said, but because Satan had instilled in them doubt as to God's care for them. So they thought He was going to kill them...

I do not believe that transubstantiation was practiced by the apostolic church. That one student among thousands in the next generation happened to teach it, and it become 'a thing', is testament to the rapidity with which heresy entered among God's people.

The very best thing I can say regarding the above, is that it is inventive.

Revival. Either we go toward it, or away. Uturns are allowed.

Welcome Heather.

God didn't commit suicide. That thought comes from the same root that suggested to Adam and Eve that God would kill them if they sinned. God didn't threaten Adam when He said they would die if they made the wrong choices. It was a warning. Sin brings death. Not God. When sin was laid upon the...

Haven't read any books, but have heard several sermons and been a part of a number of Bible studies focused on the topic. It's really fascinating and instructive.

Interesting your church rejects the word of God, scripture, as the foundation of faith and practise, and had introduced on equal and in some cases, greater merit, tradition. Therefore in order to support your tradition, the word being insufficient, you must go elsewhere. KJV Ephesians 5:25-27...

Good study Johann. I would like to add an even more poignant type/shadow to the above which reveals Christ throughout... The sanctuary. From the altar of sacrifice, t the laver, the door, the showbread, candlestick, altar of incense, the veil, and the ark of the covenant holding the law... All...

Agree.

We are to eat... Internalize His words. KJV Isaiah 55:11 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it . Thy words were found, and I did eat them: and...

Christ clothed His divinity with humanity. He lived fully as a human, not once using His divine attributes to accomplish anything or to carry out His work. He lived by faith. There were a couple of occasions when His divinity shone through, like when the mob fell backwards in the garden. The...

Not only does the Bible tell us that Christ is begotten of God, but it also says He is the only begotten of God (John 1:14, 1:18, 3:16, 3:18 and 1 John 4:9 KJV). No one else has ever been begotten of God. Even an angel cannot be said to be a son in this respect. Just as the material things of...

Not arguing with the preexistence of Jesus. He is/was Creator of all things... And not created Himself.

If Christ as an individual eternally existed, then the whole Father/Son motif becomes nothing more than a metaphor. The Father/Son relationship is merely a show. Play acting. The trinity depicts 3 co-equal co-eternal beings, all exactly the same. Any one of then could have chosen to be the...

KJV Romans 8:3 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: KJV Romans 8:4 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but...

Can you consider my signature?

Oh boy. Ain't that the truth. And that covers all denominations. Having a good time could apply to night clubs... And the music in many churches isn't much different to them.

I look at it this way. The Son a had a beginning in personality, but not in nature. I see it like this... The rock that was taken from the mountain in Daniel 2.. it is of the same eternal nature as the mountain, but once separated became an individual personality. But hey, I could be waayyy way...

And how much more does that reveal the love God has for mankind. That both Father and Son were willing to risk so much by the Son's voluntary humility in becoming fully man and putting Himself on probation in order to redeem us.
