    Starting to understand "hate his own life"

    I think Matthew gives us the true meaning: Mat 10:37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. As Jesus elsewhere teaches Christians to love their enemies, He surely cannot mean that we are to treat our...

    Christian persecution

    I know that Nigeria is bad for persecution of Christians, but I thought that North Korea was by far the worst country for such persecution. It ranks top of Open Doors list of countries which persecute Christians, with a persecution score of 98%. Nigeria is seventh in the list, with a...

    Cessationism (the notion that the miraculous gifts of the Spirit "went away with the death of the Apostles")

    God sometimes healed people through Paul, as He did through Peter and others of the apostles. I imagine that Paul would have said as Peter did: Act 3:11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon's...

    Books You Loved as a Child

    Yes, it was the book of Winnie the Pooh, not the film/movie, that I meant in my post. I liked the book you mention, too.

    Books You Loved as a Child

    My mum used to read us "Winnie the Pooh" by A. A. Milne. She was very good at putting on different voices for the various characters. When I could read for myself, I liked the "Famous Five" books by Enid Blyton.

    What does loving your neighbor look like in today's world?

    Yes, believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are saved sinners.

    Only Paul, no-one else for today

    Yes I agree that Paul and the other apostles taught that.

    Only Paul, no-one else for today

    Sorry, what I meant that it is not the teachings that save, but Jesus Christ saves. Somebody can believe that Paul taught that we are saved by Jesus Christ, but unless that person actually believes on the Lord Jesus Christ, rather than just the fact that Paul taught that He is the Saviour, that...

    Only Paul, no-one else for today

    Where in my post did I say anything about rejecting the teachings of Paul? I accept the whole Bible (not only those parts penned by Paul) as God's word. I don't see only the parts penned by Paul, or recording Paul's spoken words being applicable to me today. I don't agree that anybody is...

    Jesus’s Adelphoi: Scripture and Early Christian Testimony

    As I said, there are far more instances where "until" means "up to that time, and not beyond", so how does that reinforce your argument? But together with the fact that we are told about brothers and sisters of Jesus, the word until often meaning "up to that time" can indeed be used to argue...

    Only Paul, no-one else for today

    We don't have the apostles with us today. The only way we can know the words of the apostles now is through Scripture, the parts of the Bible that some of them penned, as well as the parts of the Bible where their words are recorded. And 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: NKJV 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is...

    Jesus’s Adelphoi: Scripture and Early Christian Testimony

    But if you apply "until" consistently, you end up believing that it remained dark after the ninth our on the day of the crucifixion: NKJV Luk 23:44 Now it was about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. Also, Jesus must have meant (in your view) that...

    Signs wonders etc today

    An unfortunate typo - I think you meant "all of a sudden begins to walk." (No reason why a lame man shouldn't walk.)

    Only Paul, no-one else for today

    Sorry, but I think you must have misunderstood my post. I didn't say that Peter had authority over Paul. What I said was that Scripture nowhere says that any particular apostle was appointed by God to teach Gentiles many years after the apostles were dead.

    Only Paul, no-one else for today

    But where does Scripture teach that God selected particular apostles to teach people in 2026? The verses you quote say nothing about a specific apostolic teacher for the 21st century: NKJV Act 9:15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before...

    Releasing Angels?

    What angels need releasing? Except for the fallen angels, angels are ministering spirits. They are God's messengers, and act at His command. They are not in bondage. Where in the Bible are we told that Christians are to release angels?

    God Commands Righteous Violence

    You seem to have missed the point I was making. When God gave His word, the Old Testament was in Hebrew, and the New Testament in Greek. So for the Bible to be available in any other language, like English, Mongolian, German or Icelandic, it must be translated. What is important is how...

    In China they saw Jesus' Death

    Thanks again. I have seen the introductory video, which seems very speculative to me, but I cannot view the main video because one has to be on Facebook to do that, and I'm not. Anyway, thanks again.

    In China they saw Jesus' Death

    Thanks. I missed that. I don't have time today, but I will look at it tomorrow. Thanks again.
