I don't consider that the scriptures are telling us that Jesus just "appeared" as a man. He was, in every respect, a real man, just as we are. With all the emotions, temptations, weaknesses, and physical and mental limitations that are common to us all. And to edit a PS... he also had the need...

That doesn't support the commonly held conviction though that the "spirit" of man is an independent sentient being though, which is what I assumed you were arresting when you started that man has a "tripartite" nature... Body, soul, spirit. Which further suggests that though the body dies, you...

Forgive me if I sound harsh, but I'm going to speak straight with you. Because you think you were redeemed by the shedding of the blood of a mere man, then you have a very reduced and misunderstood perspective of the love of God, and therefore little appreciation of what the gospel entails, and...

Do you have an example of that working in scripture in the human sense?

The only reason he was mortal was by choice. By taking upon Himself human nature, deity became a mortal man. The deity and/or divinity of Christ is not dependant upon a theological construct of man. Jesus was His Father's only begotten Son.... Who was sent from the Father's side to become our...

Sorry but I disagree. God said the truth... You shall die of you eat of that tree. Satan said, no, you won't surely die. You shall be like God and live forever. And the church has been teaching that ever since. And you intubated the same by suggesting a difference between body and spirit...

Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)” Galatians 1:1 Christ's spirit slept in the grave with His body. Christ was truly as dead as we would be without Christ. He declared to Mary,I have not...

That the Son of God (the Word) is as much ‘God’ as is God the Father is not in question. As Paul wrote to the Colossians “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” Colossians 2:9 Other translations render this verse this way “For it...

So is the Father imperfect in begetting a Son not after His likeness?

I said in an earlier post in this thread (can't be bothered to search through 700 odd posts to find it) that the greatest evidence we have in scripture that Jesus is God, is that He is the Son of His Father.

So there's two of us? The body dies... But the"real" person doesn't? If Satan knew this, and there's no reason for him not to, then he was telling the truth right?

Yes. The faith of Jesus. KJV Revelation 14:12 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

The OT provides the example for the way to salvation. The sacrifice... The shedding of blood... Is but the first step as depicted in the sanctuary service. This took place "outside the gate"... KJV Hebrews 13:12-13 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood...

As for this offering, I suggest is totally irrelevant.

Throw a stone in amongst a crowd and the one that yelps loudest is the one the stone hit. Very touchy huh. Methinks when one needs to defend His behavior by throwing insults, I counted 5, I would hazard a guess that you have no other recourse to count on.

One fact. The smallest molecule of alcohol destroys brain cells. And they don't grow back. Now ask yourselves. Is slow self destruction the will of God?

A flare for the melodramatic you have.

I think the point that God had been making through all His prophets, and finally with Stephen, was that Israel had forsaken God, not the other way around. What Jesus said, no doubt in anticipation of the Sanhedrin stoning Stephen making their rejection of their Messiah final, "Your house, (no...

It the above is true then why are you attempting to indoctrinate Protestants using scripture? Why not leave it to God to reveal?

Catholics have no authority to discover doctrine through scripture, because their religion doesn't allow for it. Catholics have no authority to tell Protestants how to practise their faith, because their faith is not founded in Catholic principles. The Protestant faith is founded on scripture...
