I ended up giving this a like after having to read it very carefully to make sure that you were not promoting Universalism, which you are not. Only one small point though. Jesus didn't stand as a guilty sinner before His Father when He presented His blood in the heavenly holy of holies...

That sounds like me. I'm an old, bald, fat fella with a strange New Zealand accent, living in a country where there are more sheep than people, sitting in my small suburban house with my wife and two cats! Hey, that sheep in your picture looks like someone I know!!!

I was responding to the comment that the KJV doesn't save a person, but Jesus does. I was making the point that it isn't the book itself that saves anyone. It is following the instructions in it. The demons know the Bible much better than we do and they believe every literal word of it and...

Where else do we find out about who God is, His plan of salvation, the life and teaching of Jesus, and how to received Christ as Saviour? From a fella with a funny fish hat and robes? :p

So, if the Bible gives an unsaved person directions on how he should receive salvation, are you going to say the same thing to him? Just askin' :-)

You forget that Stephen saw him standing at the throne of God while in the process of being stoned to death! Quite different to what these ones who reckoned that Jesus appeared to them and talked to as if He was their best mate! The Bible is God's sole communication with mankind. He doesn't...

If I receive a leaflet giving me instructions about how to isolate myself in order to prevent being infected by corona virus, it is not the leaflet that will protect me, but following the instructions in it will. This is the same with the Bible, even the KJV version. The Bible doesn't save us...

The Bible is the only book that tells us about who Jesus is and what He has done for us. We need to follow the Jesus of the Bible. The alternative is to follow a jesus image in our imagination. We can see that many did follow an imaginary jesus through all the artworks depicting Jesus as a an...

By the time Paul wrote the book of Romans, his other letters would have been circulated around the churches. His letter to the Corinthians was an early one, and it was addressed to all Christians everywhere, so it would have been in general circulation. But having said that, it is quite true...

We have been released from the power and penalty of sin, no doubt. But while we are in our mortal body, we still have the presence of sin with us. We reckon ourselves dead to sin, because our bodies have the sentence of death, and we are in a type of 'death row', living out our lives waiting...

Who is the "you"? :rolleyes:

Isaiah (53:4-6) makes that clear, and Jesus quotes him in Matthew 8:17 as the fulfilment of Isaiah's prophecy in the context of healing from sickness and disease. But that doesn't mean that God is a vending machine to provide healing on demand. Jesus had crowds following him for the healing...

Oh calm down and make yourself a nice hot sweet cup of tea, and grow yourself a sense of humour. It must be the cold, rainy weather you poor schmoes have away up there in the cold regions of the world. You need a holiday in New Zealand to get a bit more sun to raise your spirits! :-)

At first I might have thought you were from the Bible belt of the USA where some wear black suits, have broad brimmed black hats, wear their beard just on their chin, and carry big black Bibles around, and preaching, "Woe to you sinners. Repent or else you will be damned to hellfire!" But no...

You must have a special gift to be able to look across thousands of miles right down to Upsidedown Land, and right into my heart to see whether I have faith in Christ or not. Trouble is, does it come from the Holy Spirit or another spirit?

Not me. I don't believe in guaranteed healing. We live in a fallen world and sickness is a part of it. We live our lives preparing for the time we might get sick, and if we get sick we live in preparation of getting well. We are committed to Christ for better or worse and in sickness and in...

Look. You don't believe in the gift of tongues for today, so stop flogging a dead horse with me. I have debated this with the best of them, and none of them have been able to convince me of the Cessationist view because there is no Scripture to back it. Also, God Himself proved that the way...

Keep calm and take the blue pill... :) I don't believe in commanding things. Too much the "name it and claim it" Hindu mind control stuff. But nothing to stop me requesting God to command it to stop, when it is His will to stop it. "Be not unwise, but understanding what the will of God is"...

So, if you discovered that your priest was a pedaphile and raped young boys because he couldn't keep it in his pants, would you want to confess your sins to him? Come on... I don't think you would!

Your misspelling hit my funny one so just couldn't help it. The puns just flowed.
