Bearing false witness again? Didn't you get the memo? Jesus defeated Satan on the CROSS. And then He rose _ from the dead_ in the third day. Satan still has many, in fact, most of the world in bondage, but the door is open to eternal life for thise who believe. Death has no sting anymore. When...

God became a man, partly to be our High Priest. It was necessary for the High Priest to perform the final sacrifice the our Atonement. He offered Himself, the sacrificial Lamb. Oh, I see?.He goes by Jesus for the entire Bible, then in one verse in Rev. 12, He becomes Michael again and then back...

It depends on how you interpret that verse. He will descend "with" the voice of an archangel - it doesnt .ean he is an archangel. He comes with His angels. He gives the command and his angels obey, He looks over to Michael, gives him a nod and Michael's voice commands the angels. Jesus is the...

Did you ever read at the end of the Bible where it says if you add to these words ... something nad will happen to you? Be careful. Don't degrade Jesus. Hebrews 1 makes it clear, He is above the angels. The Father refers to Him as God.

Doctrinal Disputes ... Oh my! After years of disputes with my dear Jehovah Witness friend, we have both found resolve, neutral ground: a belief in God, The Bible, we are followers of Jesus, practice Biblical principles, haters of sin, ... actually many things on the surface, but avoid deep...

Read carefully _ the scriptures that describe the women who came to the tomb and saw angels there. The angels said, why do you seek the living among the dead, he is not here, he is risen. Did you catch that word, risen? And He is not here, meaning His dead body! Do you know what that means? It...

Right, He died when He decided it was time. Tetelestai. That is an interesting point, nobody can release their spirit at will when they are being tortured or just dying with a terminal disease. > The doctor tells you,."I'm sorry but after all the tests and several doctors diagnosis, you have a...

We had to have the choice to choose to between light and darkness, to choose to love and obey God (as Mark pointed out), "because we want to". We want to only when we know and value Him. You can't force anyone to love you. It is cherished when they willingly do, because they want to. So an...

Look at the entire chapter. God is addressing all the inequities of His people. These sins of theirs shall not be remembered. This is not talking about our memories.

I have pondered this. It is a tough question. On one hand, if we didn't remember anything, including everything that Christ did, all the lessons we've learned, our history, why we love and appreciate God, where we came from, etc., It would be as if 6000 years of history was a waste of time...

It is about things that were, things that are and things to come. It starts out with an over view of the first century church, a mixed bag of good and evil. Five churches receive rebuke and warnings to repent; only two are faithful. These seven churches are also church types that exist...

Who said good requires evil. Good existed before evil. Understanding good requires evil. Isn't that just how we learn life's lessons? We learn after doing something wrong, why it is wrong and the right thing to do. Remember God knew Good and Evil prior to the Garden.

The CROSS Medically speaking it has been said the conjunctive tissue in the hand is stronger than a rope. So nails in your hands would hold you weight. ---- The death of Christ began with His flogging, but the cross (stauros) finished the job. Just getting nails in your hands and feet doesn't...

Well, Jesus body did not see corruption. His resurrected body has elements and features of His former dead body. If it was a completely different body, why did he still have the scars to prove that it was him. They didn't initually recognize Him, but when he spoke they did. Same bocal chords -...

A person is characterized by His words but moreso by his actions. I asked a homosexual, "If you never had sex, would you be a homosexual?" He said no. It is not thoughts or feelings that define who you are, it is when you act on them. He played with the boys up the street in his puberty and...

My original post stated that and now I just use different vantage points to demonstrate the same concept. But you get it. Yes it is getting redundant. I just like to thoroughly hash things out with Christians who are smarter than me.

And you own this because you've been cold and without blessings at times. If You were warm and happy all the time nothing would change for the better.

OF COURSE, JESUS IS THE LIGHT AND HE EXISTED BEFORE CREATION. HEAVEN IS WITHOUT DARKNESS. I think we will know where we came from and forever praise Him.

Really? I've heard teachings with the perspective that the FALL from grace was a tragic error. Sin entered into the world ... and shame on man for screwing things up ... That is the traditional perspective, a tragic act that cost us all pain and sufferring. Mine is it was God's purpose. "Behold...

No, He wants us to know and appreciate what good is. The Prodical Son is a good example. He did not appreciate the life he was given, He didn't value it until he went out into the world and experienced all the evils. After he lost everything, He became a beggar, eating and drinking from a pigs...
