I agree that we should indeed be grateful to God that we have the whole Bible, and that most of us live in regimes where we are not punished for reading or believing it. I don't agree that the New Testament resulted from the early church adding doctrines to what had been revealed in the Old...

But I was answering Fathom, who had asked: "Which came first, the Bible or the church?" I said that even the earliest churches had a Bible, albeit not complete, because it lacked the New Testament. I don't see that the matter of whether it was bound or not makes any difference. The point is...

Not quite true. Jesus Himself taught the two on the road to Emmaus from the Scriptures: NKJV Luk 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. The Bereans were commended for checking in the Scriptures the truth of...

Thanks. Very Interesting!

Psalm 110 doesn't mention "servants of Christ" being violent.

That just is not so. Jesus never taught His followers to retaliate with violence. Speaking to Pontius Pilate, He said: NKJV Jhn 18:36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but...

Yes, He did. He also said things like, "I am the door," "I am the Light", and "I am the true vine". But He didn't mean by that that doors, vines and light are conscious entities.

Do you have any biblical basis for saying that everything in God's creation is conscious? We have only to think of the idols made of wood or stone or metal to see that. Those idols are not conscious. They cannot hear, see, smell, talk, or move: NKJV Psa 115:4 Their idols are silver and...

No church is given authority that supersedes that of God's word, the Bible. The apostle Paul when writing to the church at Corinth, told them that the basis for the gospel which he had preached to them was the Scriptures, not the church: NKJV 1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the...

How can the whole universe be conscious? The universe includes things like air, water, rock and soil which are not even living, let alone conscious. I am therefore wondering how it can possibly be true that the whole universe speaks the name, "I am." Also, our great God is not "born from"...

Is it really as clear-cut as the thread title suggests? Are all Republican politicians in favour of Biblical, godly values? Are all Democrat politicians anti-God? Here in the UK, there are genuine Christians (those who have been saved by the Lord Jesus Christ) in both Labour and Conservative...

I don't see that being poor in spirit, meek, persecuted, etc. only applies to Jews. Nor do I see how the kingdom of heaven can refer to the kingdom of David on earth. Earth is not heaven.

But the context of Jeremiah 14 is the Captivity in Babylon, nit a prophecy of the Second Coming of Christ.

I have watched the first video, and there was a lot of talk about post-partum depression, but I didn't notice anybody saying that it was right (that is, not sinful) for her to murder her children. The thread title asks if women can sin. The answer from Scripture is quite clear. They can. Eve...

Where does the Bible say that Jesus will return and reign from Jerusalem for a thousand years? Paul likens the earthly Jerusalem ("Jerusalem which now is) Hagar, Mount Sinai, and bondage: NKJV Gal 4:25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is...

Yes, that is why on a clear day one can sea France from the top of the white cliffs of Dover, but not from the beach (except, perhaps, for some really tall budlings on the French coast.)

Yes, that worked...thanks! Excellent presentation, except that it was rather too quickly-spoken, almost gabbled, but excellent overall.

I have no idea. God doesn't (as far as I know) give His measurements of the earth in the Bible.

Well, I perhaps made the assumption that he wasn't referring to His first coming as the baby in Bethlehem's manger. That is His first coming. I don't agree that there are two further comings.
