    Does Jesus still pray to God? Will he forevermore pray to God?

    God delegated his power to Jesus.

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    Absolutely. If you cannot take the time to write a proper thesis on what you are talking about, I’m NOT going to take the time to watch the vid. I’m not a Florida election official, trying to divine the intent of the voter - or OP.

    Aunt's Husband Died

    Oh, I forgot to mention; I prayed relentlessly during this trip, more than I ever have in my life in so few days. I kept getting the message from the Holy Spirit to not meet this estranged family member under any circumstances; they are not ready yet.

    Aunt's Husband Died

    EMOTIONAL RAPE. That is the best way to describe the overbearing dynamics in my family. After sharing notes with my wife, we concluded my aunt made 6 attempts to get me to do something I said no to at the start and every time it came up. Without going into details, it involved me reaching out...

    John MacArthur on N.T. Wright

    @Episkopos, I prefer an OP that has a clearly stated thesis. Without this, I really have no idea where you want to take the conversation. Let me give an example of clearly stated thesis. Coke is better than Pepsi. The reasons for this include higher sales over a sustained period of time. This...

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    Yes. See biology. It is a scientific fact that opposites attract to the point of procreation. It's only a matter of life and death. But there it is.

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    It's worse than that. The Adversary's pathway to world wide domination includes destroying our ability to discern, ultimately right from wrong. In this case, parsing synonyms. The claim from the alphabet people is that gender is different from sex. Whereas sex is objective, gender, they say, is...

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    Because Christianity has been feminized, over emphasis on meekness and undermining exercising our rightful authority in this world, dominion. I passionately hate the song, ‘when I fight, I’ll fight on my knees.”

    Does Jesus still pray to God? Will he forevermore pray to God?

    Jesus did not teach that he is God or that we should pray to him. He said true worshippers worship the Father - not him.

    Does Jesus still pray to God? Will he forevermore pray to God?

    We all know there is no Scripture supporting your IDOLATRY, which is why you have to pretend John 1:1 refers to Jesus when it does not. If it did, the purpose John explained in 20:31 would be to prove Jesus was God incarnate. This was not the purpose And John 1:1 does not refer to Jesus.

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    Yes, there would reason for the current reality of not for the fallen angels. Just because things played out under certain conditions does not mean they would not have played out the same way under different conditions. It's like supposing if anything changed from the Creation narrative, would...

    Does Jesus still pray to God? Will he forevermore pray to God?

    Yes, just change subjects when your idolatry is challenged. Not God incarnate but his word was made flesh in fulfillment of Deut 18:15-18. Scripture says an attribute of God, his word, would be put into the mouth of one chosen among the people. This chosen person was Jesus who affirmed. Not...

    Does Jesus still pray to God? Will he forevermore pray to God?

    A word is an attribute of a person, not a separate person. Jesus is a person, not an attribute of a person. See the difference? Therefore, Jesus was a person not a word. Have you ever given any thought to how anything can be with X and be X at the same time? A mystic appeals to mysticism. A...

    Does Satan run the world? Or does God?

    I'm not sure where you got this from but it contradicts Scripture that describes the hierarchy as God the Father who gave all authority on 'Earth and heaven' (meaning everything) to Jesus. You depict the lord of all as having 2 angelic peers, something short of all authority.

    Unethical treatment of LGBTQ humans / Understanding LGBTQ - 101

    No sir. Judges nor juries can properly function with this notion. "Do not Judge lest ye be judged" is a prohibition of being a hypocrite. It means you will be judged by the same standard that you use to judge others. IMO, this is closely tied to work out your own salvation with fear and...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    No. It's that I do not worship knowledge. One of the greates IDOLATRIES in Christiandom is the idolatry of the KJV.

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    No. No, I wasn't following the discussion fully. Sorry. Just got back from a funeral. Arrived home from airport Saturday at 2:45 AM. Still need to catch up on sleep. But thanks for directly answering my question. There is a difference between lying and changing one's mind. I think prayer is...

    Why doesn't God reveal himself unequivocally to the entire world?

    This is a question that I used to rail against before I was sealed by the Holy Spirit.

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    I believe @Aunty Jane recently made a profound post on point; that only the original language text is perfect and reliable. All others rely on translation, subject to human fallibility. Agreed. Last year I finished reading the 2017 Cultural Bible NRSV. Not sure how it compares to the RSV but I...

    Does it matter which version of the Bible you read?

    The correct translation cannot be the one with the most errors in it. I would not read any translation with "James" in the title.
