I do this all the time. Many times I respond to multi-paragraph exposes my exploring one thought at a time. It necessarily makes my post count high but the readability of each post is also very good. Great advice. And as you said, independent of theology.

Well Lady, you might not be tempted by that but it doesn’t make a rule that you are incapable of sinning. I’m reading a book written by my Pastor called Good Enough For God. Just last night the chapter delved into this very thread’s subject. She clarified the verses ought to be interpreted as...

Nonsense is not comprehensible. Not much of a mystery, square circles and all that. Regarding uniqueness, that might appeal to the ignorant. Those who know history know 3in1 is strong in paganism, predating Christianity by Millenia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_deity How Ancient...

And I think you asked him 3 times. He won't respond to it. (He may 'reply' but it'll be a non-responsive reply). It's the same with not answering my question of pointing out that Jesus said he has a God who is the only true God. That's good enough for me. Why is it not good enough for you? It...

Iron sharpens iron. My faith is always increased when I fellowship with other believers. I know no one is perfect but we fit perfectly in our imperfections. My church has a theme, ‘doing life together.’ It’s one think to drill down to the depths of theology. It’s another thing to put...

A little short of ‘Jesus is God.’ The speaker of these words said a few verses earlier, at verse 9 that he is not God. (If not, it is at least ambiguous and not definite) I noticed you inserted the word in parentheses ‘Jesus’ because it is not there and contradicts God saying these words in Rev...

LOL Just one passage that explicitly says Jesus is God would do. Should be easy with 556 at your finger tips.

I'll let Scripture spell that thought out for us ... Romans 10:9-10 CEV 9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10 God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others. See...

It makes a big difference if you search by title or not.

It is. Jesus said the many are headed toward damnation but the few are on the narrow path.

We finally agreee!:spring: I know @Aunty Jane firmly believes there is no eternal fiery hell. It seems very unloving to raise someone from the dead, only to torture them for eternity.

Yup. They are in the minority. Hence the part I posted where it is identified as a parable. o_O Do you think people are aware after they die - before the Resurrection Day?

Speculation does not count as evidence, let alone overwhelming.

Not sure what is funny. From Rich man and Lazarus - Wikipedia: The rich man and Lazarus (also called the parable of Dives and Lazarus or Lazarus and Dives)[a] is a parable of Jesus from the 16th chapter of the Gospel of Luke.

I wish you would not merely copy and paste. Doubtful that I will properly discern your intent. These verses do not seem relevant to my point. Luk 23:42 I may have told you about the misplaced comma. I think it should be after today, not before. A parable, not necessarily a reflection of what...

Mainly because it is plainly not anywhere in Scripture and the idea goes against the whole Bible, especially explicit Scripture, e.g., the Shema, 1C, Jesus being called 37 times the Son of God (which is NOT equivelent to God the Son), For us, there is one God, the Father, and Jesus own words...

Hmmm. It seems we are on the same page regarding the likely different sense in which the word is used in Scripture. :) I think, like you, many people use the terms interchangeably or synonymously. One thing that I'm not clear about is the significance of the expression the spirit returns to...

Yes, those who have God's spirir are the "we" Peter is talking about. Like words, a spirit is a WHAT, not a WHO. It is an attribute of Being, not a separate being. Anytime a trinitarian/mystical dualist says a verse is "clear" that supports their doctrine, that is the dead give away they are...

Me; What Scripture says that? YOU: For the record, I consider Soul = Body + Spirit. The body dies but the Spirit returns to God, who gave us life.

Do we not share in our Father' inheritance, along with our brother Jesus? Colossians 3:12. John 1:12. 1 Peter 4. Now we live with great expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. 1...
