Well if the bible speaks of it we should pay attention to it. We are supposed to study to show ourselves approved unto god as well! This sounds like you just wish to throw out an opinion and then tell those who show you wrong- that "Hey, it isn't a salvation issue so why keep talking". If...

You should go to an online bible site and compare translations. You will find all translations are not the same! Formal translations are excellent. Tranlsations from the oldest greek texts are excellent Translations from the greek to teh Vulgate to English are lacking. Dynamic equivalent...

If he is in his human nature (the flesh which cannot please god) How can he choose Jesus? This is definitely something that pleases God that teh flesh cannot and will not do.

Yes for that is the context it is spoken in. But that does not exclude us applying the principles taught to us by the sermon. Do you follow the Kosher laws ? Of course we don't because they were given by god to Israel alone. We can choose to follow them, but it is not mandated. What you...

Which is a semantical argument. Separate in the sense they are three separate "entities", they use distinct because they emphasize the unmistakebleness of their separate"personages". As I said, it is a paradox. God is outside of time and we are in time. Well it is the Biblical philosophy...

True, but most modern translations now, though they say they are "translations" (using dynamic equivalency loosely as a guide) a not much better than the message.

Well He is no matter how much you and I believe or disbelieve it. 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of...

Well I told you I didn't imply that so that should end the question. If you wish to imply I am still suggesting that- then you are doing so based on a lie you hatched and not me.

There is a paradox here that is beyond. human figuring! We were predestined, foreknown and elect before the foundation of the world. Yet until God led us to Jesus we were lost and depraved! We were both holy and unholy at the same time! We were saved because it was a foregone conclusion, and...

and Colwell has been shot down by nearly all other Scholars. and you forget that following standard rules of translation God does not precede the verb but must follow the verb. If in translation it preceded the verb, colwell would have available possibility, but it doesn't and he doesn't as...

YOu are wrong: 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; 20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once...

Well it is the biblical view so everyone who disagrees will need to catch up!

doesn't matter how odd it sounds. Sinner in the passages it appears are unbelievers. To us it may sound odd, but to teh people of th eday- they knew.

Which kinds of applications would you like? We are called to be peacemakers- we are called to suffer for His name etc. But do you believe we first must understand Scripture in the context it was written in?

I never said we cannot apply it to our lives, but specifically it was a teaching for Israel and how to live in the millenial kingdom! Just like the OT teachings. We can apply them to our lives but they also belonged to whom God addressed them to. We must remember that the gospels and ACTS are...

Yes they are called teh elect from before the foundation of the world. We were marked by god for salvation prior to creation. All it took was time to get to teh place God already decreed us to be.

well that is teh New World Mistranslation which no respectable scholar accepts. God in both cases is THEOS so if Jesus is DIVINE so isn't the Father. The Word was with THE GOd(the article appears) and the Word was God (construct is not an anarthrous noun as the Watchtower has lied to you)...

Tell that to millions who suffered through wars and famines and want and poverty! We are not immune from the effects of living in this fallen world! Millions of christians have already been killed this century for the faith. Many live in abject poverty Many are homeless many have no jobs...

Hi. To give you teh technical answer. biblically a sinner is a term used for unbelievers. so we are not sinners as believers but we do sin.

Well most prophets were prophets of doom and gloom! I do not worry, I also look and see the signs and prepare. Just like if a hurricane comes my way, I take the needed precautions. God told Joseph to have pharoah store foods for a coming famine. YOu don't have to, but don't expect many to...
