    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    The Bible is not an allegory. It is true and real and historical. Again, just because you care for allegory doesn't make the Bible an allegory. If you don't believe the historicity of the Bible, then you don't believe its message. I don't look for historical 'evidence'. It is not...

    Just for fun: angelic law.

    Would not (Gen. 3:15) pertain to this also. "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed:" Who is satans seed? And how is it passed on? Stranger

    Wisconsin company to install rice-sized microchips in employees

    No, I would not comply. Any identifying mark on the hand or forehead, I would refuse. Stranger

    Then you should believe your 'evidence' and I will believe the Bible. There is that. Stranger

    Does God Tell Us to Trust Everyone?

    Jesus didn't find a way for the woman's words to be true. They were true. Stranger

    Who cares? What does that have to do with the Job or other Bible characters being real? Stranger

    Does God Tell Us to Trust Everyone?

    (1John 4:1) "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." In the verses you gave we are not told to love everybody. We are told to love the brethren. (John 17:6) "I have manifested thy name unto...

    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    It does make a difference as I have showed you. Just because you're interested in the allegory doesn't make the story an allegory. It doesn't make the Bible an allegory. I'm not into proving the facts. I'm into believing what the Bible says. Stranger

    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    The slippery slope or false teaching is to say the people in the Bible were not real people and their experiences with God were not real experiences. Christianity is all about the Person of Jesus Christ. He is worthy of our worship. (Matt. 2:11), (Matt. 8:2), (Matt. 9:18), (Matt. 14:33)...

    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    VictoryinJesus Certainly there are many truths to be found throughout the Bible through the use of types or symbols or signs. And usually the Bible will define these somewhere so that we are not left to our own imagination. The problem comes when the Bible is not seen as an historical...

    1 Cor. 15:45-47

    As to Christ being the Second Man, it is much like (Jude 14) says that Enoch was the seventh from Adam. Enoch was not the seventh from Adam, because of Cain. But in the line of the redeemed, the sons of God, Enoch was the seventh from Adam. So how is Christ the second man when He wasn't...

    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    The Bible says so. Thats all I need. If Job is just a parable, then Daniel, and Noah are a parable. (Ez. 14:14) "Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God." This is repeated in vs. (20) Also...

    Why can't God count?

    It is fourteen generations because it is fourteen generations. This statement in Matthew is not about proving the genealogy of Jesus Christ. It doesn't matter that Joseph is not the real father. It is still fourteen generations to that time. Stranger

    Universalism ?

    I don't object to any part of the love of God. You however are hoping God will be an unrighteous God. You are hoping his love will ignore His righteousness and allow those to be saved who have never come to Christ...who have rejected Jesus Christ. And, concerning the question I asked...

    1 Cor. 15:45-47

    I believe Adam is called the first Adam because God sees him as the first representative of the human race. And God calls him the first in that there will be another Adam. Or, another representative of the human race. That other representative will not be called the Second Adam because to...

    Universalism ?

    Howdy I agree that there is a cost here in our walk with the Lord. And that if we allow ourselves to live in accordance to the flesh and not the Spirit, then we will suffer in our relationship here with the Lord. It could not be otherwise. But, to say this determines forever our...

    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    A parable is a parable. Nothing wrong in seeing a parable as a parable and interpreting it as such. But not everything Jesus said was a parable. Thus you don't interpret such as a parable. And, the Bible is not a parable. It is not to be interpreted as a parable. The book of Job is...

    The book of Job - real or allegorical?

    Of course it matters. Does it matter that Adam and Eve were real people and not an allegory? Of course it does. The message is based on the truth of the historical event. If the historical event is not true, then neither is salvation. How silly. Stranger
