What is "spiritual adultery"? Define it. Simply put, Jesus is talking about the actual, physical, act of committing adultery here and is simply saying that if you pursue a married woman with the intent of engaging in sexual intercourse with her, you've already committed the act of adultery in...

There is a lot of confusion that surfaces from time-to-time regarding the meaning and implications of Matt 5:27-28, which is predicated upon a lack of careful reading and understanding of what was actually said and the specific words used therein and their relative meaning. First of all, you...

Yes! 'By the authority of'; otherwise you have a conflict of scripture: "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost", and, "in the name of Jesus Christ". Which is it? It's either one.

Baptism means immersion irregardless of how mankind chose to and continues to choose to pervert the meaning

The sabbath was part of the covenant made by God with the Jews, not us. A covenant is an agreement between 2 parties. To keep the sabbath is not restated in the new testament as a requirement to be kept by Christians. The day of worship for the Christian is the 1st day of the week as various...

Obviously not a true prophet but a phony one since he spoke presumptuously and not of God, hence they were not to fear him. Read it again, slowly so you can understand it.

Yes, that's exactly what a prophet is. Foretelling future events as told to them by the Lord. Deuteronomy 18 21You may ask in your heart, “How can we recognize a message that the LORD has not spoken?” 22When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD and the message does not come to pass or come...

Great explanation! Goodbye

Here is 2 Pet1:20-21 20Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Once again, what is your point?

I don't know what you're point is. Yes, there were prophets for sure in the OT! Likewise in the NT. But not today. We have the complete word of God today and don't need "prophets" to reveal any future event.

IMMEDIATELY upon belief as was evidenced in the conversions in the book of Acts. Until you're baptized, you're still in sin and therefore lost, not saved. You're also not yet a child of God, a Christian, nor part of the body of Christ which is his church.

A phrophet is one who describes a future event on behalf of or at the behest of God. Prophesy is one of the manifestations of the Spirit, commonly referred to as gifts of the Spirit, and is one of the "gifts" listed in 1 Cor 12:8-10. All those gifts have long ago ceased as was told they would in...

Yes but only phony ones

Just to also clarify, to he baptized "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost", OR, "in the name of Jesus Christ", are both acceptable, because "in the name of" simply means by the authority of; to recite the actual names mean nothing prior to immersion. And as you can...

Look closely at all references to it. It's not " the great tribulation", like one specific, grand, event, but rather simply "great tribulation", or just "tribulation". A significant difference. Even John, when writing Revelation, referred to himself as being a "brother and companion in...

"Few there be that find it" and that ain't you, unfortunately.

You make no sense and lack scriptural understanding, i.e.; your quote of 1 Cor 1:17: read a bit further to understand what was meant. Read 1 Cor 3:6-7 below. Apollos was doing most of the baptizing. Paul preached and taught, Apollos baptized (immersed), God gave the increase consistent with Acts...

Goodbye. Go divide some more words. Start with the few in the below scriptures. Acts 22:16 16And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Acts 2:38 38Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name...

I can read and understand simple, clear, English! Can you? Obviously not.

How can a person misuse such plain English as is the scripture? What a dumb comment!
