All this from someone who denied their OP mentioned the empty cross, when the evidence proved they did. 1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

The bad attitudes, wilfull ignorance, and malevolent activities of others are also crosses to bear. I rest my case.

Tell Us Why There Is Both Historic and Ongoing Disagreement Upon All of Scripture. The ideal of unity is ever before us with the reality of division a cross we bear. The moment I tell why there are disagreements I provide an opportunity for others to disagree with my explanation. There it is...

Good point but we should factor in the major rebukes Jesus had, and which God makes in Scripture, of failure to heed the prophets. Fortunately we are regenerated through the living and enduring Word of God which is proclaimed to us, its Divine dynamic doing what human efforts without the Spirit...

A commonly misapplied passage. Divine Foreknowledge of Satan's original sin and of the sins of all those who remain stubbornly resistant and opposed to God, is intrinsic to the consequences He has predetermined for them, otherwise Judgment Day is a farce. Jas 1:12-18 Blessed is the man who...

That is true. But as aways with interpretation context is everything, and with metaphor gender is variable. The fact that backsliding Israel and Judah are metaphorically portrayed as harlots doesn't in any way conflict with the tribes of Israel being twice metaphorically portrayed as a woman...

That's not how the Scriptures read.

Yes, it does. We have Scripture saying so: 1Jn 3:11-12 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, (12) not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's...

We have Scripture: 1Jn 4:1-3 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (2) By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God...

Oh goody. We can play JEOPARDY. Clue: False Gnostic Doctrine Denying Christ's Incarnation. Question: What is Docetism? Docetism - Wikipedia

Flood lights. There was no smoking or naked flames below deck, also.

Love it! Thanks.

Hi Jones12849, Scripture links repentance and salvation. 2Co 7:8-12 For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while. (9) Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but...

What do you call it?

A 4 year old boy stopped peddling his trike and gazed thoughtfully at the sky. Perhaps he was interested in the white clouds and their shapes, his mother thought as she watched him from the house. Later that day, at meal time, the boy was still quite thoughtful. Then came the question that...

In either the highlands or lowlands, but not the midlands, apparently.

Thanks for providing this morning's topical study, Victoryin Jesus. The context is unwavering faith when asking God for wisdom in the face of difficulties: Jas 1:2-8 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations; (3) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works...

Yes. Good comment. Thanks for adding this reference, amadeus.

Rom 6:16 Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Jos 24:15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether...

Freewill is the term used to identify the examples where the dimension of human will is in evidence in the various choices regarding available options. You won't find the word BIBLE in the BIBLE either, but it is the term we use to identify the collected writings it contains. Rom 5:12-21...
