That was a test of his faith, God never intended to allow him to kill his son. What did happen was that a Lamb was provided. 2000 years later, The Lamb of God was sacrificed in the same location. Jesus was without sin, and became sin, taking all the sins of the world for all time upon himself -...

Because that is what scripture stated. I've looked at about 60 English translations and they all say the same thing. Here are those I am familiar with. KJ21 And God said unto Moses, “I Am That I Am.” And He said, “Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, ‘I Am hath sent me unto you.’”...

Your theology is way off. You have no concept the human spirit. You believe we are in heaven already! LOL Tell me, what does heaven look like? Are you conscious of your surroundings in heaven? I guess you think we are all asleep in spirit up there ... or something? WHEN WE DIE WE GO TO HEAVEN...

To Behold, We are born again, in Christ. Christ is omnipresent, though He is seated in Heaven, He is everywhere as is the Holy Spirit. Our spirits are not in heaven until we die. Can you see angels and the throne and the wonders of heaven? No. What do you think our spirits are, blind, an...

Jesus DID NOT ONLY SPEAK IN PARABLES! WHAT BIBLE DO READ. It is estimated that 35% of His teachings were in parables. I guess you missed the rest ... need to study up some more! He did speak in parables and usually explained what the parable meant. The story of the Rich man in Hades in Luke 16...

Are you a Christian Scientist? You quoted a Christian Scientist in one of your posts which is why I ask. All the Christians I know would never do such a thing. If so, my stuff is very much different than Mary Baker Eddie's stuff?

Of course not. Be careful. We are born again spirits. We are in Christ, but we are individuals, we are not the SPIRIT of God. God's Spirit communes with our spirit in our temple. Each of us is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, where we also commune with the Father and the Son. So our spiritual...

Interesting! Abraham communicated with this man, but he, IMHO, is probably one of the elders in God's Kingdom who was allowed to do this and probably only for this one time, for our benefit. I can't imagine billions of souls crying out _ in torment _ with non-stop requests and pleas for mercy...

I do respond to you directly, but others on this forum may be more familiar with your views and where you are coming from. I see Israel. Are you a Messianic Jew? I have a little Jewish blood, but was raised by an atheist Dad and a rebellious Mom who had a bad 5-year experience in the Catholic...

A little history: Jehovah is a made up name from the tetragrammaton, YHWH in the 16th century. First introduced by William Tyndale in his translation of Exodus 6:3. The consensus among scholars is that the vocalization of YHWH in the 6th century BC was Yahweh. During the 2nd century BC the...

Thank you for that. I was trying to figure out where this guy was coming from. It seems some of his posts are off. I just commented on another one referring to "The Rich Man in Hell". I guess he just wants to pontificate what he things he knows.

Stop right there! THIS IS NOT A PARABLE, IT IS A TRUE STORY, TO BE TAKEN LITERALLY! It is not symbolic and here is why: "If it was a parable, there would not be specific names of familiar people like Abraham and his spiritual location. Why describe two locations that exist after death in...

Good, it seemed like you were advocating homosexuality. as or like a Bride in a spiritual reality. A man loves his wife as Christ loves the Church. A man becomes one with his wife AS we become ONE with Christ. It's about a loving bond in relationships.

I did not imply you were gay, just that you are twisting scripture to somehow approve of homeosexuality. You obviously are an advocate -Left winger. That is the point, the spiritual realm is different than the physical realm. Simile is a figure of speech which is used to compare the...

When men who were filled with the Holy Spirit _ as on Pentecost, spoke to the crowd that had more than a dozen foreigners who all spoke different languages, they all heard them in their own mind as if it was their own language. These speakers who spoke in tongues, did not take each foreigner...

It is good to put aside a day for worship and praise but frankly that could be any day or all days. My church had services Friday and Saturday night and two on Sunday. Whatever worked with your schedule is the way I see it. It was a spirit-filled Church that flourished. Churches like Calvary...

Yes, the Sabbath was created for man since the beginning and was set apart to reflect on our relationship with God, to worship Him, give thanks, keep it holy. And it later became part of the Ten Commandments given to Israel along with 602 other laws. What happenned that severed that...

I knew you were trying to advocate homosexuality in some screwy confused way. There is no apparent contradiction in the comparison, a "simile". One is the marriage between man and women becoming ONE in our physical realm of humanity (which by the way homosexual marriage can never have according...

I think trying to construct a theology with an acronym like TULIP about God's thoughts, His plans, His design of man and salvation is like putting God in a box. I think it is flawed. I think Arminism is also flawed. Monergism is true, OSAS true but still can't agree totally with Calvin. I...

There is no sex in heaven, no marriage between men and women spirits. The figure of speech is a simile, using like or as to compare two things that are different: the comparison is between the relationship between a husband and wife in marriage, who become one and the relationship between the...
