Matt 10:16 “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Doesn't contradict Matt 5.

I am in agreement with @Lizbeth, I don't think she said (or meant) a life giving experience is the golden rule. There are some stubborn, stupid, hard cookies to crack who need it, else they would die in their sins. They have received super grace, like Paul.

CONTEXT : Rev 11:7 And when they have finished their testimony, the beast that rises from the bottomless pit will make war on them and conquer them and kill them, Rev 11:8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city that symbolically is called Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord...

It's generally assumed the book of Revelations was written between AD 90-95, but what would be the implications if Revelation was written before AD 70 and some parts are about AD 70 when the Romans destroyed the temple, ripping the heart out of the theocracy Israel. The Two Witnesses Rev 11:1...

Me too. I know a well verse orthodox Jew who considers Genesis 3 as a blessing, God given human kind a brain and free will, so you could be right. That's an easy one once you see it. Eden was a supernatural place, the Laws of Physics did not apply, mankind living in the presence of the Lord...

And surely religious nuts would have murdered Him. But the Father would resurrect Him anyway. And all the evidence, His teachings, the miracles would be on YouTube. But then the conspiracy theorist will come and debunk the miracles as fake.

1. And how do you know you are chosen by God from the beginning? Did the good Lord told you personally? 2. And how did Paul know that all the people he addressed in his letter were chosen by God from the beginning? Impossible for Paul to know the mind of God. Predestination and its variants...

When was Revelation authorized? I doubt it was in the first century.

Your reasoning in this thread is that God is love, so He can't have committed genocide with the Flood, hence the Flood is a myth. Where I said, the Flood was only about millions, the Garden is about 100+ billions and counting, we all die. For a sin we did not even commit, how is that love? So...

The flood was about millions, the fall about billions. Your logic demonstrated in this thread fails.

What's the next step @St. SteVen ?? Maybe 3 chapters back is also a myth ?? One sin, no forgiveness possible, all in Adam (100+ billion, you as one of them) will suffer and die, all this while you had not the same chance as A&E. In fact you (and those other 100+ billion) never asked to be born...

https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/a-flood-of-myths-and-stories/ Many flood stories around the globe in ancient times, same Noah theme. Something very bad happened. No myth.

What myth ?? Matt 24:37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Matt 24:38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, Go argue with Jesus.

Gen 6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. The sons of God were fallen angels mixing with humans producing satanic hybrids. The book of Enoch was popular in Paul's time and it lists all the gory details. And the apostle...

Why are you doing this ??? I am 99.9999999999999% sure you are aware of the angelic interpretation of Genesis 6.2, the devil further ruining God's creation spreading his seed up to the point of v5 : The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the...

That ! And the OCD brain is soooooo smart, actually cruel, now that I understand it and learned to ignore the demanding thoughts, it can still accuse me of hiding behind Gal 5:22-23 and I am back at square one if I don't pay attention. Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace...

Same here. But only on the issue of sin and what is not. To explain, random thoughts come in, that's unavoidable. Scripture teaches to capture every thought and judge. My global filter : Gal 5:18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh...

Exactly.

Predestination IMO is much more, God created A&E knowing in advance they would fall, see : Rev 13:8 - and all who dwell on earth will worship it, everyone whose name has not been written before the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who was slain. 1Petr 1:20 - He was...

I don't see a statement from God that humans no longer are created in His image, but maybe you know.
