    IS JESUS GOD?

    As Christo pointed out, Jesus spoke to God. That God spoke back, proclaiming loud and clear and Jesus was His Son. And Jesus said God was His Father. Clearly we have two distinct personal entities here. My son is human. How can God's true Son not be God? We all know that before the incarnation...

    Only Believers are Resurrected?

    @GEN2REV Hi. This discussion isn't as simple as your OP suggests. As others have mentioned, there are other issues that need to be harmonized together. We can't settle one issue while others remain in doubt when they're resulting directly affects all other aspects of the discussion. It isn't...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    I could have explained all that along the same lines, but I couldn't be bothered. Jim knows all that. That's why he doesn't sacrifice animals. He also knows that the commandments against theft, adultery, murder, idolatry etc, are not abolished, because they point out sin. If people didn't know...

    Divinity Verses Deity of Jesus Christ.

    Who do you think I am that you believe I can put the Son anywhere? It was the Father who sent His only begotten Son in His place. To represent the Father and die. It was the Father who gave His Son all things, one of those things being equality in authority (all authority...KJV John 5:26-30 26...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    What can I say. My neighborhood is mysteriously devoid of cats, dogs, and rabbits.

    What is the gospel?

    The gospel means different things to different people, and all of them may be right. For me it means that God has accomplished to a very real level, what He desired when He spoke to Moses..."let them make me a house (Tabernacle) that I may dwell among them". Calvary has made this possible and...

    Divinity Verses Deity of Jesus Christ.

    @Aunty Jane So theos can mean anything you like depending on your preconceived opinions, and so can worship. Chop and change to suit whatever situation you happen to referencing. KJV Philippians 3:3 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus...

    Divinity Verses Deity of Jesus Christ.

    And yet you agree with the Jews that Jesus was 'just a man'. So can you prove from scripture that an archangel is a created being, and not simply as described by the word itself... Head... Or Lord... Of the angels? Or as scripture elsewhere names... Lord of hosts. And yes, Jesus was certainly a...

    Divinity Verses Deity of Jesus Christ.

    I will stop you right there, and will read no further. I am not claiming to be an advocate of the trinity doctrine that you describe above.

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    Not an opinion. KJV Romans 8:2-4 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 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...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    So why would you not want to keep everything that is written in the book of the law? It's the ones who disobey, reject, and say 'that's not for me' who because they don't obey the law, must be under the curse right? It's the disobedient, not the obedient, who are under the law and it's curse.

    Is the Easter Bunny a fraud?

    I'm going to suggest that the Easter bunny isn't a fraud. The intent of any fraud is to deceive. No-one I suggest is deceived by an Easter bunny. I would suggest on fact that more people are deceived by Easter itself, believing it to be the correct institutional celebration of the death and...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    I find it completely astonishing that a Catholic could entertain a mindset that has a persecution complex so soon after his own institution was forced by common human decency and loss of civil power to forsake her own 1000 years of historical insistence in shortcutting other people's entry into...

    Returning To A 19th Century Standard Of Living Soon?

    A couple of months ago I was seriously contemplating buying a motor bike. I can afford the repayments queen readily on my current income, but the Lord very clearly said, no. Not now. Too late. Stay debt free. Be prepared to just up and leave without ties. Let there be nothing to bind you to the...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    I have no argument with the scripture you quoted above. All who rely on their obedience to the law for salvation are doomed to failure. But why does that necessarily mean obedience to God's Commandments is now, once salvation is obtained through the blood of the Lamb, an option that may be...

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    Criticizing your history and pointing out your unbiblical doctrines is not persecution.

    if i wanted to become a catholic

    The moment they got into bed with the kings and queens of the earth. Spiritual adultery. Using civil power to sustain their authority. And they haven't changed. The leopard hasn't changed it's spots.

    Returning To A 19th Century Standard Of Living Soon?

    If Christians aren't yet making positive and radical moves to draw closer to Jesus, learning to cleave to Him and to trust Him implicitly for all their needs, shedding the love for this world and it's luxuries and needless comforts, they will find themselves in deep trouble very shortly. It's...

    Intolerance

    Mm. That would greatly depend on the attitude of the one you are speaking with. Some whose behavior is unacceptable would react to your expressions of intolerance than other's expressions of tolerance. Up to them whether they accept counsel and correction or prefer the approval of the tolerant...

    "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."

    You really really need to rethink this. Seriously.
