John 16:12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

19. While Christ walked on earth in the Gospels, He referred to His Father which in Heaven...God the Father and God the Son in two locations. Individual presence Matthew 5:16 Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in...

The Truth is, the Trinity is not the merging or mixing of three entities into one, like you would a cake mix, nor is it a three headed God. It is a condition and a reality that is beyond our understanding, but in loose terms..... I believe and define that there are three Gods in one Godhead...

The concepts of the Trinity in motion Note: Feel free to verify all scriptural references in your own favorite translation. This is a topic that is easy to prove because it connects to hundreds of scriptures, which will be sited directly and or indirectly through this discussion. Then...

Thank you. Do think this was a total welcoming of the "gentiles" or a concession? Do you think James had any idea that within few decades the gentiles would take the reins of the Christianity?

Thank you. So for you what did the decision at the council of Jerusalem mean?

The ecumenical councils were a series of conferences (major and minor) which include ecclesiastical dignitaries (Bishops) who convened to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practices in which those entitled to vote represented a whole range of Christian beliefs and churches. Of...

Thanks for all of that....but I guess, still the answer is no. There is an underlying middle-eastern cultural mind set here that still exists today. Trickery is seen as wisdom. For example the Moslems see any desire to negotiate as weakness on your part and only meet to see what they can get out...

I asked myself, "How so?" At first glance, Esau looks more righteous than Jacob. What did Esau do that was so wrong? Yet Jacob deceived Isaac. He connived to get Esau's birthright; and it seems too that Esau forgave him, he said he did at any rate, and Jacob promised to meet him in Seir but...

I still think that this conversion was a few conversations grouped together, and we can go through John and find more of these. On you point of Herod seeing the star, I concur to the extreme. During this period if anything is going on in the sky it is catching the attention of people and they...

I did not say that to you..said it to Anthony

The issue is that the Calvinists do that, the Jehovah's Witness do that, the Branch Davidians do that. No good can come of it.

Have you been drinking?

You can go count the number of denominations that have formed from the scriptures. Along the way, it appears no one noticed that if there were so many denominations forming that there must be something wrong with the process. The error mostly was not in studying the Spirit that the scriptures...

Here ya go.... Exodus chapter 20 The Hebrews / Israelites, are at Mt Sinai, God speaks from the mountain. After the first ten laws the people freak. Then after they calm down, God continues with four more laws, and then continues on with some ordinances. So during this event there are 14 laws...

Get that and with you on that. People have the right to believe what they want. Look at the Heaven's Gate religion...they point to Ezekiel as the ship that was going to pick them up. We still have to get to the humor side of this...."The Great Mistake" of the Ten commandments.

Sometimes you have to really look closely to find meanings. This one is not, it is a hands down thing. And it is a storyline thing. You can take the dozens of Scriptures of Paul that stand against bringing the Law into Christianity. Some say he put a curse on it. You can look at the storyline...

@Giuliano I'm not sure "witch" is what is meant. The Hebrew means mutterer or whisperer, probably meaning someone who whispered spells or curses. I doubt whatever was meant in the Old Testament relates to the European concept of witchcraft. There had been a witchcraft craze in Europe. King...

@Giuliano @GodsGrace Good Morning! This is another somewhat complicated subject. I think Nicodemus knew things most people in his day did not. Indeed I think he knew exactly what "born of the Spirit" meant and was testing Jesus to see if he did. Jesus did a little teasing back -- You're a...

If you do not know the scripture, you need to dive into it. It would do you good to study the evolution of the Law. Not that any of it pertains to Christians. If you cannot find, then ask nicely and we will go through it together.
