This makes no sense. Hunter is Joe’s Son in the sense that He is Joe made manifest in human form.

Show us how.

Spot on. Jesus did not say 'If you love me, you will let me and my heavenly Father take care of all your worries.' We have lots of work to do and it is our tendency to worry about what needs to be done. The most common command of the Bible is some variation of "Don't Worry." However, this is...

We need to meet people where they are, what they know.

Woah. Strawman. I never claimed I am unique. One way you know I am not an IDOLATOR is I don’t say things like, if you don’t read my translation or hold to my doctrine, you cannot be saved.

Do drug addicts IDOLIZE their next fix?

Oh. How can one verify the fact that Christian’s do not idolize the Bible or their doctrines?

I get it. You deny many Christians are Bible IDOLATORS. You’re not making an argument, just a denial.

You bring up an interesting debate tactic. Do you accept the terms of the other person (tyrant) or do you introduce the full spectrum of appropriate terms and senses of words, e.g., love and tyrant? (One could argue that God, being the lawmaker, is not possible for him to act outside his own...

If you cannot discernt he contempt in the post, so be it. HINT: The unforgivable sin is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit of God. Implying that God asks too much of us might qualify. Calling God a tyrant might qualify as it surely is pejorative. Someone who was grounded in loving God as the...

Yea, to read and understand, not to turn it into an IDOL.

Hmmm. I don't think that is quite right. Philosophy and science ask questions. Christianity provides answers. Regarding what Jesus said at Luke 10:26. Some translations end with the question, how do you understand it. Jesus was a rabbi, a teacher. Teaches teach answers, not just questions. The...

An extremely hate-filled, ego-centric response! Yes, God is a tyrant. It is his way or the highway. See Proverbs 14:12. Being a petulant servant is no way to win the favor of your lord. 'I'm loyal. What more does he want?!' Indeed. See Matthew 25:14-30. Paul explains that everyone is a slave to...

Wrong. Christians most certainly are idolaters of the Bible and their doctrines. Repeatedly denying it does not make it not so.

No because the defining characteristic of a brother or friend is not to beget, to create life - but it is the defining chararacteristic of a father. So, the question is, what is the basis for your opposition to that word in this context? The father of genetics. The father of his country. Our...

Both are true. There is rampant IDOLATRY in Christianity today AND Christian’s don’t handle well when confronted with it, especially by atheists. I concede it could be satanism. However, I prefer to give the atheist the benefit of the doubt; that they are here because of their own doubt and...

I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make. A father is one who begets. Our man-hating society diminishes the fact that men create life and this is the primary reason God is referred to as our Father. Church of England to consider use of gender-neutral terms for God. Women carry the...

Maybe. Might. Double speculation? This translation makes clear what is being referred to is not a WHO but a WHAT. (CEV) You must stop doing anything immoral or evil. Instead be humble and accept the message planted in you to save you. And that WHAT refers to the oral tradition of the time...

Agreed. Sacred cows. Ex 32. Lately, I've become aware of a lot of IDOLATRY among Christians. Knowledge, in general, has been made into an IDOL. In particular, is knowledge of the Bible, and even a particular translation. In addition, people make IDOL's of their doctrines. On this forum, 2 such...

Being under a sovereign does not mean that sovereign will save you. Hence, the 2nd death after Judgement of those who chose the path. “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of...
