    Eternal Security

    In your search for loopholes around the plain meaning of the text...you are throwing out the reasoning power that even a child could conjure up. I know the arguments...like autos in John 1...meaning either "Him" or "it"....as in believing in "it's" name rather than in "His" name. But with...

    Could your problem be the difficulty you have in understanding how other languages work? Do you speak more than one language? Notice this inter-testamentary comparision. The Lord says this... Is. 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first (rishon), I also am...

    Putting things in Greek is called translating...not adding. All you have to do is take the OT YHVH references and see that they are translated into the Greek as Kurios. So the the Greek Kurios refers to YHVH. You don't have to be a scholar to look at the word associations in the 2 languages. You...

    "gadar perets, post: 438750, member: 7741"]Happy Yom Teruah / Day of Trumpets / Day of Shouting! If you are among those who believe Yeshua (Jesus) fulfilled the reality of this day, please tell me how. What did the shadow point to and what was the reality casting the shadow? For example, we...

    Jesus Christ is the Lord (YHVH) from heaven. This is an English forum...and we use English terms as well as English verses. In the OT the word YHVH is translated mainly as Lord. So then prepare the way for the Lord...that would be YHVH again. Is. 40:3 A voice is calling, "Clear the way for...

    Omniscience, Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omnibenevolence.

    God is also omnipatient...if that word exists.. We can easily confuse His silence for a lack of interest. But He ignores long winded explanations by avoiding foolish questions. Once we get the questions right...He answers.

    The right way of proceeding will always be rejected by the majority as foolish....impractical, and impossible. Just sayin'

    To hell with me

    This is a love game, so to speak. When you love someone your life meshes with the beloved. In fact it can be painful to separate that union. So it is with God. He is looking for a "Bride" to walk in love with...for ever. But there are also those who are just humble and meek...but don't have...

    I'll take that one! :) Christianity attracts all kinds of people. Because the things spoken of in the bible are so fantastic...this attracts people who are drawn to fantasy....even though the bible is speaking the truth. So then the witness of such folk tends to the fantastical and has really...

    Why "LAW" =/= "OLD COVENANT"

    If we look at the Hebrew word for witness..."ed" which is this in hebrew.. . עד ..we see the letters are the first 2 in the word for "eden" (as in the garden thereof) The letters mean...to see...the door...ayin...dalet... Jesus said "I am the door"....and if you see Me you have seen God. So...

    Good post...Both the Father AND the Son are Lord...YHVH...At one point the Father is referred to as "Elyon"...the Most High. This is to differentiate the Father and the Son. The great mystery is the the Lord becoming 2 persons...yet retaining the same name of the previous union....Yahweh or...

    We are to be carriers of divinity.....in these human forms. 2 Cor. 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves;

    To hell with me

    The fires of hell extinguish life. God is not cruel. This is the second DEATH...not second torment. The confusion comes with lumping all the outcomes into one. People can't read the bible without adding in simplistic notions they have previously been taught. Like this idea of heaven and hell...

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    We know things by comparison. Offer a dog a steak and it will let go of the bone it is chewing on. So then Adam would have known the good he had lost when his eternal sight was lost so as to become as the sight of any animal. There was a huge gap in the life he once had and what he was presently...

    Wet Paint Principle (Freedom)

    Take a year...break down your thoughts into small ideas that can be digested after discussion.... or just be impatient and print the whole thing and get little or no notice. If you don't try to engage people they will not respond or be affected.

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

    The point here is that there is no good outside of what God deems as good. There is no learning to judge when it comes to life. The knowledge of good and evil comes after taking the fruit of the forbidden tree...in that you only learn what is evil...by experiencing evil. So then the evil is the...

    The word for skin in Hebrew is "or" written like this... עור It is written with a silent letter at the beginning...the ayin...which means "to see" The word for light in Hebrew is also "or" written like this... אור It is written with the other silent letter at the beginning...the aleph. So...
