Many contend that Pentecost fulfilled Christ's "coming". This doesn't explain however the many prophecies of His coming written after Pentecost. The Father and Son are two distinct persons. Both are to be recognised, and even parables tend to indicate this. That which we have seen and heard...

What is it that makes you so self confident?

Your idea that Jesus couldn't be deity on the basis of His use of faith, therefore not having Divine power, could be explained by Philippians 2 which suggests that pre-incarnation Jesus, as the Son of God voluntarily laid aside all His Divine prerogatives in order to fully live the experience of...

Or discourage it.

It's a continuing fight between two gangs... Both gangs lie, and if any here are genuinely interested in walking as Christ walked they ought to be more interested in presenting the gospel to both sides rather than joining one side in order to denigrate and criticise the other. Christians are...

Read it often enough the old english disappears.

Keep talking, you will convince yourself eventually.

Faith is described as the assurance of things not seen. Some contend that Jesus didn't have any faith. Let me ask you a question. How did He know at 12 years old who He was? How did He know at 29 before He was baptised and heard the voice from heaven declaring He was His Father's Son? How did He...

How awesome. Victorians now have been officially shown a road map to a broken bridge. How helpful.

posted in another thread, but I think worth repeating here.

Further to the above... Why do some believe error even though they have scripture before them? Dull hearts. They are not ready for truth because truth may even destroy what faith they now have. God is patient, He doesn't require we all believe the same thing at the same time. We all have our own...

I have no doubt that @bbyrd009 will correct me here, but here's my take on the so called murkiness in scripture. God has allowed the scriptures to be written in as Mark said, a certain dialectic. And this has a purpose. It enables God to teach truth to some, and hide it from others. For...

I think Christians today are losing sight of who the real enemy is. They say "we are being attacked", but yeah, by who? The political gang on the left? Or the political gang on the right? Both are gangs guys, and we are not called to join gangs. Our work is to love people in both gangs, and...

True. And isolating oneself by closing oneself off from bacteria and life with all its threats in fact weakens the immune system. It si dirt...germs...viruses...bacteria...etc etc that strengthens our immune system. Let you children play outside in the dirt and they will be the healthiest...

Not only do the scriptures reveal that Jesus has faith, but scripture informs us that God's people at the time of His coming will also have that same faith... Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Then you have missed the whole message of covenant.

I would rather live under a secular ruler who uphold a constitutional right to free speech and freedom of conscience, than a Christian ruler who would legislate Christian laws and doctrines for the "common good".

The culture from which God had called Abraham had some weird and extremely erroneous ideas about the character of God. They believed God required the sacrifice of children, and they did this constantly. Among other things. Abraham, in agreeing with the offering of isaac, would have been saying...

I agree. The democracy I would fear most is the one headed by a 'benevolent Christian'.

Before I begin - you do not have to unfollow or unfriend me if you have a different perspective than I do, but feel free to do so if you want. We are all adults here and can remain respectful when we address each other. At the end of the day, everyone wants to be healthy and happy, so we all...
