    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Iconoclast comes to mind, a breaker of images, and in this case Christianity and all that we hold dear. My Dad was an atheist for most of his life; though he was brought up in an Italian, Catholic family with seven sisters, he turned away from God/Christianity at a very young age when his Dad...

    No, Catholocs and Prostestants agree on: 1. Inerancy of Scripture as divine inspiration 2. Diety of Christ 3. Trinity 4. Creation 5. Fall of mankind, original sin passed down to all and that we are all sinners 6. Substitutionary Atonement for sins by Christ 7. Heaven and Hell 8. Bodily...

    They have the Holy Spirit who confirms His presense with them. We have a relationship with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit. It is not just about knowledge of the truth, it is about a relationship. An orphan can read about their father who really love thems but was separated from them at...

    The Scarlet Thread Throughtout the Bible, The Blood Covenant

    I am sure about lots of things. Most importantly who Jesus is; He is God He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That says it all. Do you know what that means? He is the only way to salvation. He is truth, not just meaning that He brought the truth and knows the truth - HE iS THE TRUTH. That...

    The Scarlet Thread Throughtout the Bible, The Blood Covenant

    Billions will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire ( which is more of an event - see 2 Peter 3:10), but not eternally, quickly! Hades and Death will be thrown in there as well. You can't burn something forever. There is no such state as an indestructible destruction or an imperishable perishing...

    Assume - means to make and ass out of u and me ... mostly u. Adding false claims again ... misinterpreting and distorting ...par for the course! I wrote a book on addressing that very topic: "Hell ... If I Know". "Eternal Hell", (a traditional doctrine), has always bothered me. It doesn't make...

    That was a one time experience 27 years ago when I was in a bus ride from LAX to the Fairfax District ( called Little Jerusalrm) in Los Angeles. I have never sensed calling to go evangelize Rabbis, never met anyone who had either. That would he a tough nut to crack. I would first have to tell...

    Didn't know that. I guess when Moses and Elijah show up, things will change.

    The Scarlet Thread Throughtout the Bible, The Blood Covenant

    Non-Trinitarian, Jew, ... whatever? Without Jesus' blood sacrifice, sin remains. Even the Jew no longer has an atonement for sin in his belief system and therefore is stuck carrying the weight of his sins, with no peace or joy of the Lord. But they will try to break our image of Christ, they are...

    Non-Trinitarian. That would have saved a lot of banter, I would have dismissed ling ago. You should state that in your profile. THE LORD sees all and our sin as well, but Jesus had taken on all sin for all time. I was like a dirty rag before I was washed in His blood. Let's say I had vomit...

    "The real God"? There it is, you don't believe Jesus is GOD! The Father had to turn away from looking at His Son on the cross as He suffered. I would go as far to say that once Jesus was arrested the night before, no communication from His Father ( that he normally had all the time) was...

    The Scarlet Thread Throughtout the Bible, The Blood Covenant

    Jesus said He was the son of man but He was also the son of God. God became flesh and dwelt among us. So no mere man can do this. He became sin. Do you fathom what that entails? All the sins for all time present , past and future - trilions were cast upon Him. What does that mean? He had to know...

    For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ Lev. 17:11 Actually His first blood sacrifice was with Adam and Eve. After they sinned and were naked, God sacrificed an...

    The Scarlet Thread Throughtout the Bible, The Blood Covenant

    I am thankful for Christ's blood sacrifice, am washed with it and born again. Faith is a gift. I am under grace, not the law. And He died so I can live eternally. I do not desire blood ... other than the sacrifice of animals. I like chicken, steak, bacon, a little turkey. They die so I can...

    The Scarlet Thread Throughtout the Bible, The Blood Covenant

    The main thrust of the Bible message is that God sent a Savior to die for our sins . It was His blood sacrifice that was required by the LAW. He fulfilled the Law for us. The Gospel summed up in one sentence is: Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day. Therefore take heed to...

    Christian Predeterminism Exposed

    Gilligan got ship wrecked on that island, remember? He's just lost, cut him some slack. God is trying to teach him something. He can't figure out if God will get him off that island or if He only has His free will to author of his own destiny.

    I can and have numerous times. But do YOU mean that after 33k posts you never quoted one single time that Jesus died for your sins or that God required a blood sacrifice for them?

    I was just thinking to delete the thread since there is not much interest. I'll give it a week and then poof it's gone. Not many have the time to listen - I understand.
