Just from what you posted here, I can see why the "Didache" wasn't accepted as cannonical. Scholars have stated that much of it is copied from Matthew, paraphrased, as many priests or pastors might do with any if the scriptures. It doesn't make it wrong just redundant. #3 caught my eye...

If the GT happens soon, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be my guess to be the Antichrist or the false prophet. Although they are supposedly waiting for the 12th Imam. He is 84 and the leader of the most funded nation of terrorism and desires Israel to be annihilated. This war now of course is...

Becoming sin for us is not something we can comprehend. Imagine taking on trillions of sins for all time ... and knowing them), one has to be omniscient to do that. There is that kind of spiritual eternal knowledge that we can't fathom. We can barely comprehend the totality of our own sins...

Most scholars would place the writing of Revelation at around 95 AD. The Church of Smyrna didn't even exist in 70AD and wasn't mentioned anywhere else in scripture. Polycarp ( who was a disciple of John), was said to be the first Bishop of that church and he was still in diapers! Polycarp said...

Let's get some perspective here. When Jesus said ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY has been given to Me, He didn't mean all that power was given to you too. Lol A minute portion is given to us to do similar and greater things than Jesus did _ on His mission _ ON EARTH, such as healings, resurrecting...

YOU have it backwards! First of all, we are justified by faith in Christ, His work, His righteousness, not ours. But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away. Isaiah 64:6...

Absolutely! Our spirit has to be perfected to be "in Christ". It is a done deal. So that if at any moment we died suddenly, our spirit would go directly to be with the Lord. "To be absent the body is to be present with the Lord."

His Almighty status was returned to Him. He is the CREATOR, and the AUTHOR of our faith and all this prior to being born. He relinquished His glory/power to become a human, then after His death/ resurrection/ascention, it was returned to Him. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself...

Thank you for the spelling correction, actually my computer assumes these words I don't want - I have keep after her about that. Well, we disagree and there is no resolve here ... so take care.

This is a hard passage, but you err in your interpretation. "Imprisoned spirits" here are not souls or men, they are the fallen angels whom He imprisoned in Tartarus during the time of Noah. You err again. He descended from Heaven, then ascended back into Heaven. Paul alludes to (Psalms 68:18)...

Right, there were two locations, Hades and Paradise. Hades was yet divided into another deeper location, Tartarus, reserved for fallen angels were separate from ungodly souls. >> Many don't realize that Jonah died quickly - he wasn't kept alive for three days! Otherwise, his experience would not...

I wouldn't know, I'd be blind. Dying and then being ushered into Hades would be a shock. But you would immediately know why you were there as the Rich man did in Luke 16. Romans 1 discusses the state of fallen man. 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly...

Given humans do not really know who will be saved in the future or not, so with that perspective, this scripture is just a statement of fact, an idenity marker of who will have eternal life and who will not. If you are given the gift, then you will be in that group, the elect. It appears that...

That was discernment on your part ... I think? I posted 29 versions of John 3:16, one of the most popular and cherished a scriptures. My point was that they all pretty much said the same thing, they gave you God's truth. Your comment puzzles me though. You agree that there is truth in that...

Aionion, aionios have variable meanings When applied to our physical realm, that is temporal and will pass away, it means age-during or age-lasting, ages, lifetime, generation. When applied to God, His domain and our salvation, it means eternal. Sometimes you'll see everlasting and eternal used...

His inerrant word would be the original manuscripts Hebrew and Greek, but His truth is within all thise versions. Someone could pick up anyone of those versions and be led to Christ. Let's try half of thise versiiins of one popular verse - they all give the same message. ASV For God so loved...

Maybe you have the wrong perspective of what a Prophet is. A Prophet speaks forth the word of God whether it's past, present or future information. We tend to think of prophecy as future only, but it really is all inclusive. Psalms, songs about God, reflections, feelings expressed and inspired...

Jesus is the cornerstone that the builders rejected. He is God, the Word and the Bible His message to man. Faith comes by the Word of God. The purpose of life is to be reconciled to God through Christ and have a relationship with God. And so now we are the temple of the Holy Spirit and have...

Which is why we have an All Mighty God whom we trust will preserve His Word. I see that you have many doubts about the reliability of scripture. There are many books on the subject. Josh McDowell just updated his "Evidence that Demands a Verdict" book. Probably "The New Testament Documents...

I have and use about seven English translations and they all get the message across. For instance, concerning Romans 1:24-28, all versions give the same message. I use Biblegateway.com and can pull up 60 versions and examine each scripture. There's a lot of scholarship devoted to each one. I...
