Perhaps you have not read my protestations of Middle English. What does this mean in modern English? Pro-soul sleep or anti-soul sleep?

You know, I've read this a number of times. Is Calvinism = predestination? Or is there more to that?

Who was Jesus praying to? God. What proof would you accept that Jesus is not God? What if God Himself came down from heaven and said he alone (not trinitarian) is God; would that mean anything to you?

Christians. Trinitarians. Not the same.

Utter nonsense! Jesus said we are also one with the Father. That makes us all God, right? There are many proofs Jesus is not God. How did he tell us to pray? To God, who is our Father in heaven. Jesus was not in heaven when he said this. By contrast, nowhere does Jesus say to pray to us, that...

I just want to go on record as saying that I don’t think any Christian principle opposing medicinal cures and treatments. As far as recreational use, overdoing it is prohibited. I had a friend who had a stomach issue. He could not drink any alcohol without getting sick. He did smoke MJ to relax.

You never knew that huh? In Biblical Times they did not differentiate significantly on non-blood relations. This is the only way Jesus is related to David - through his stepdad Joseph.

I know what you mean! Being raised a Catholic, I am surprised at how many Protestants do not realize that not only are Catholics Christians, they are the first Christian church.

I was not even attributing your post to me. Thank God. Please, do not turn this thread into a trinitarian debate. Thanks. If you cannot segregate in your mind an explicit teaching from merely a doctrine you hold where verses seem to support it, please just skip this thread. Thanks again.

That there are Earthly authorities over us. Your struggle in making reasons NOT to obey these authorities is revealed.

None of the verses I mentioned refer to authority in marriage. Keeping who has authority over you a secret tells the story. LOL You are making an exception the rule.

Unfortunately. I tried to answer a specific question but generally found when passions run deep, people confuse dogma, doctrine and personal preferences as the CLC guy said yesterday. For instance, I came across a verse yesterday that support a doctrine that God is the source of all evil as...

I know it is unfortunate. I did not want to debate any doctrines in this thread; only the notion of explicit teaching v support. I used several examples. And the intention was just that, an example of doctrines that are debated. What do you think about Soul Sleep? I've heard it categorized as...

He was a man but I'm not sure he had to be perfect, just perfectly obedient. Not at all. Not at all. God delegated the power to forgive sins to Jesus, who in turn, delegated that power to the Apostles. Does not make them God.

Dualism. Jesus was a man, period. What type of man was he? Obedient to the one true God onto death, where upon he was given all authority. Whoever believes in him will be saved. That is, God saves us through his adopted Son. NOTE: How "today" God became his Father is after the resurrection in...

"Someone" gave you an order implies authority. Wow. That's not what it says throughout Scripture, e.g.: Exodus 20:12 Romans 13:1 Hebrews 13:17 1 Peter 2:13 2 Thessalonians 3:14 Titus 3:1 Luke 20:25 My guess is this person actually does have authority over you and that not acknowledging that...

It is demeaning and sounds resentful. I imagine there is a context missing. Does the person who said this have authority over you?

Sad reliance on Ad Homenim. Easier than refuting the argument ... You sound like a Separatist.

Hersh, I will pray for you.
