Yes, I can see that.

My old Bible does not look like the one pictured but I have at least one verse underlined on most pages. I recently bought an online large print KJV second hand ... the previous owner neatly printed in the margin the modern meaning of all the "hard" words that have changed such as leasing...

I come down somewhere in between both sides of this debate. Jesus death and resurrection atoned for the sins of the whole world He is the propitiation [atoning sacrifice] for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. (1 John 2:2) God does not just suddenly...

I did read the link you posted Q386 : Does 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 Preclude a Pretribulational Rapture? I think it helps to keep in mind that God allowed Paul (and all his servants) to think Jesus' return was imminent ... the epistles to the Thessalonians were possibly Paul's first epistles and...

The only thing I see Paul explaining to the 12 is his calling to preach to the gentiles, and his teaching that gentiles should not be required to keep the Law (Galatians 2:7-9) At the council at Jerusalem (Acts 15) Paul supported Peter's pronouncement that the gentiles should not be required to...

Not sure I followed all that but I would like to focus on your reference to Ephesians 1:13. The historical account is in Acts 18 & 19. Paul lived with Aquila & Priscilla (18:3). Later we're told that they instructed Apollos in Ephesus (18:26). Paul baptizes the Ephesians in the name of the...

I would venture that the majority of people who have lived on this planet over the last 2000 years have never had an opportunity to accept the Gospel 2 Thessalonians 1 seems to be pointing in that direction "when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire...

Yes, He is both ... we know this because loving parents do not excuse the bad behavior of their children. Even when we punish our children, we still love them. In fact, one could argue that parents who do not punish their children for misconduct, do not really love them. On a more cosmic scale...

I see Mat 25 as the final judgment which does not apply to those who are born of the Spirit. There are millions (billions probably) who have never had an opportunity to hear the gospel during the past 2000 years. I would say this is the group we see being judged in Mat 25.

Where I live, a million dollar house is not a luxury lifestyle ... though having two might be.

So are you saying we will be equal to God in every way? I disagree with your interpretation of Rev 22:3-5 being angels. All the pronouns ( they, their) refer to "his servants" who "reign forever and ever". "No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will...

The "Prosperity Gospel" comes in for a lot of criticism, and rightly so as it is preached by some. For most of us, we are materially prosperous compared to the poorest people in the poorest countries ... and we should thank God for that prosperity and use it to provide for our family and...

Perfect, as in sinless, yes ... but I do not believe we will ever be as God in His omnipotence, omniscience, & omnipresence. We will always remain a "lower form" than God, worshiping and serving Him throughout eternity. Not sure what you mean by "hybrid physical being" ... but I believe our...

No, tbh, I never wondered that :clmSmlx

John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that...

Acts 1:10-11 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen...

Do you remember the incident in Victoria when the principal made all male students stand up at a school assembly to apologize to female peers on behalf of their gender? There was quitre a backlash but the ideology of "toxic masculinity" has not gone away.

Sometimes people do not appreciate the extra demands on a pastor's personal finances. If you trust a man with the spiritual oversight of the church, then he should also be trusted in material things. Are some religious leaders "greedy of filthy lucre"? Yes, and if that becomes apparent, it...

I believe you are right to point out the difference between sin and accountability. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

G'day from a fellow Aussie. It's wonderful to share our faith with people from all around the world.
