He was a Palestinian with short hair, not European hippy, looking like Zeus.

I hope you pray on what makes you cling to the Spirit of mocking?

Given that this is inconsistent with doctrine, of Jesus seeing Satans fall, Satan having access to God is the best evidence that the story is allegorical. None of the Wisdom literature is non-fiction. As another put it, that does not mean it is not true.

2 Peter 1:20 Contemporary English Version 20 But you need to realize that no one alone can understand any of the prophecies in the Scriptures.

Doctrine is about theology, like there is a God. Wisdom addresses attitude and action, like beginning with fearing God and looking both ways before crossing the street. :D

Job is allegorical, which is why it is placed in the Wisdom section of the OT. Many recognize Job as the oldest book of the OT.

The opposite of anarchy, which is 0% government, is where we are headed, totalitarianism, 100% government. In NY, it is unlawful to drink > 20 oz. In CA, it is unlawful to use plastics straws. In Canada, they dictate what pronouns you use. The federal government undermines it's own sovereignty...

Oregon Petition (1998) Signed by 31,000+ Scientists and Experts (defyccc.com) AGW is a communist driven ideology that attempts to make the materially successful guilty for having material wealth. It has become a new age religion. Like the Catholics, this religion attempts to make people feel...

Easier but not more responsible. Sure, Praying and talking to God is the biggest importance in life and I am responsible for even the lowest importance item in my life. Not sure if this is the influence of Andy Stanley, to shun all things politics, who is 'not in it to win it.' While Jesus was...

Not really an alternative - unless you mean anarchy, the complete elimination of government.

What a wonderful addition your contributions are to this thread, which is about making a logical argument. Simply say, there is so much evidence, I'm not going to argue. Brilliant!

I've found this a most amusing thread. Friend, you have made an idol of a translation of parchment. See 2C.

Same experience here. A common denominator I've found is when I act without my ego, I am aligned with God. When my self-interest drives my actions - such as in reaction to my enemies - I find I tend to not reflect God's glory.

One of the things that strike me in reading the Bible several times now is how figurative the language is. Abraham having more descendants than grains of sand in the world and if all of Jesus works were written, the world could not contain them all are but 2 examples. IMO, our dumbed down...

I can respect that as it aligns with Jesus defense of calling himself the son of god. He did this by referenceing Ps 82:6. A few years ago I read the CEV translation. Ps 82:1 was the verse of the year for me. A biblical fact that Trinitarians rail against is the recognition of many true gods...

Redfan, you are a good man. :) Strident Trinitarians insist the doctrine was always in place, starting in Genesis 1. I read a booka few years ago about why Christianity needs to change. It was written by a Bishop. In it, he delved into the obvious evolving theology even within the Apostolic...

The rainbow mafia?! I like it. :D

Thank you. Besides this, there is one other thing that reminds me of the brilliance of Thomas Edison. That other thing is firing civil servants. Trump had no power to fire the Deep State bureaucracy due to the Civil Service Reform Act, 5 U.S.C. Chpts. 43 & 75; 5 C.F.R. §731.202. Jefferson said...

There is that mocking Spirit again. In your world view, how does ‘give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it‘ not end up being perpetual war with fellow Christ followers? I think you are not dividing the Word of God properly, taking what is meant at the...

Agreed. He is an immature Christian. It takes discernment to know what time it is: "meet people where they are" in bringing them to the Lord. Leave those who tempt you to be led astray.
