    Can you make sense of this seemingly insane verse from Deuteronomy 22:20-22?

    Hello to the original poster, It’s just laws that concerned the nation of Israel. As many people stated it concerned the pureness that God desired within the hearts of the people, some stated it concerned the bride and I can see that because of when Jesus stated how far those who lived in...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello @Verily, Great chain connection and I agree. This thread is basically saying that just because someone has an differing interpretation of how to understand that bible it's all called upon us to love one another... that is the maturity in Christ Jesus. Not this whole bargin banter show...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello @Wrangler, Why not just make it simple and just say "The Bible." I'm okay with whatever version a person wants to use just as well as you. You are right though people do take it way to seriously, and literally. It's a wonder if it's so literal, why don't they follow every bit of it.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello LatterRain, Doesn't make sense... It's a gift if anything. Just quoting this passages doesn't make the bible "infallible." Does it? If it's Gods infallible word, to you - do you also follow everything that it says inside of it? If no, wouldn't the question be "Why don't you follow God's...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello @marks, It’s suspected, that Moses wrote the first four or five books of the Bible. Everyone suggest that God is the author? It’s weird how people worship the Bible more than they listen to Jesus words of worshiping the Father in the spirit and in truth.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    I had admiration for the Bible. I believe it’s a gift that Yahavah has let us have. However it is not a spirit book, it’s not Gods Word, or the “Word of God.” It’s a material book give to us with evidences that suggest Gods existence and also gives spiritually taught lessons. You can’t...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    All the Bible is simply the Bible. While historical places existed within it; no one can even prove the existence of God other than the evidences which suggest the existence of God. The Bible is the Bible. It’s that simple. People can debate the subject all day. It still comes down to the Bible...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello @JohnDB, Jesus is the Word of God, made flesh. Not the Bible. The spirit overrides the Bible though the Bible is helpful in us knowing information.

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello @JohnDB. By Gods actual breathe or by and through the spirit of God of human beings?

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    Hello @Behold, Do you have anything to say about the topic though? And not specifically me? You definitely disagree with a lot of things I’ve talked about for the past several years and that’s okay. This topic is not about me; and it’s weird you say these things for sure they aren’t all correct...

    The Bible is not “Gods Word.” It's simply "The Bible."

    So many people believe today that the Bible is considered either “Gods words or The Word of God.” It’s not true… it’s a collective of God and his people their doings and happenings. It’s simply “The Bible.” Nothing more. If you disagree with an interpretation all of sudden you’re going against...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭11‬:‭6‬ ‭ESV‬‬

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    Hello to both of you, Just something I’m reminded of; not that I always do so; however God knows what every person does personally. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do...

    What is the basis for the unbeliever's condemnation?

    Hello to the original poster, Unbelief; no desire to seek the things of God. There are three resurrections, resurrection of condemnation, resurrection of life, and resurrection which is better than the normal. There are two descriptions of destinations in Heaven which all go to, be it outside...

    ONCE….ONCE….(OSAS)….ONCE!!!

    Hello @Ernest T. Bass, It’s just up to people to decide for themselves. I agree with you concerning being saved is a condition which is reacted upon within the heart to look and seek the Father in heaven and to worship him in spirit and in truth. He rewards those who do so. There is and always...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    It’s most certainly a debated topic concerning is God real or not. No one can truly prove that Yahavah/God exists at all and therefore this topic is debated. There are only evidences which suggest God exists; and it’s faithfully believed he does. When it comes to universalism, I believe it is...

    Universalism is a dangerous doctrine

    Hello @Reggie Belafonte, It’s all on faith that God exist. You can’t prove him to be real. All the best to you and yours. People who do wrong typically know when it’s a crime they have committed that they are guilty. Yeshua has taken care of the sin. Whether or not they choose to go to Yahavah...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    Hello to the original poster, While I don’t believe people speak tongues as it was in the day of Pentecost anymore. I tend to believe there are two different languages. An earthly language and a heavenly language. One where you speak by terms of reference to materials to make a point, and then...
