Excellent verses for the non-Trinitarian. I guess they ignore that or twist it.

Charity, I thoroughly enjoyed your study with all the collection of scriptures. The commentary was very good. Thank you, we need to understand and think about our minds, how we used to think and how we've changed, been transformed. We see the world differently. The Christian perspective compared...

Our thoughts can come from an outside source, like another person, written material, the news, or it could be self created, a memory; but it can come from God as well. He guides us this way, puts thoughts into our minds (His inward calling) and through His Word (His outward calling). These...

Moses and Elijah representing the prophets, men of God, came as witnesses to Christ's glorified state. His face was like the sun. Moses and Elijah did not have faces like the sun, Jesus did, because He is God. The Father confirmed it audibly as He did when He was baptized. His divinity was...

1. "The natural man can't receive the things of God". What does that mean? The "things of God" does not mean all things, it is specific, referring to spiritual enlightenment, discernment, salvation, fruit, gifts, etc. All good things come from God. The world experiences God's wonderful...

I interpret and discern scriptures differently and disagree. There is no need to get into an endless, futile debate. If that is what you have concluded, then hold onto to it and see if that produces fruit in your life.

Correct. Look at the context. The chapter begins with the Jews under the Law and so when it tells us that none are righteous, that is true, because none could live a life without sin and fulfill the Law. We, on our own, are not righteous. We put on Christ's righteousness. It is his...

God became a man, emptied Himself into a human vessel and dwelt among us. (Philippians 2:5-8)? “Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, (comprehended) but emptied himself, by...

I like that, how You inverted the Son of God as God the Son. It is so simple yet somebthingsbare just thay way. I also like to use that argument that human begets human, animals beget animals and God begets God. Some thay we are all sins of God or would imply angels are sins of God..we are...

No! It is an act of obedience, when we are able to (unless we are in the last moments before death and cannot). It is a public declaration, we desire to be identified as a Christian among family and peers _ a confession _ a ceremony _ that you believe that Jesus died for your sins and rose on...

You left out the key phrases, " God gave them over to the sinful desires of their hearts ( vs. 24); "He gave them over to a depraved mind" (vs. 28); " Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also...

These aren't reprobates. Deliver to Satan for punishment, does not mean delivered to Hell. These are Christians that need punishmemt not unto death. If God is intending to save this person, then destruction of flesh may be similar to what happened to Job. God delivered Job to Satan He wasn't...

In your first post I immediately thought of Romans 1. I have always had an understanding of the reprobate (not that I am a Calvinist), but that it means a person whom God has let go - permanently. We were lost, but we, who were written in the Book of Life, (before we were born), were never...

I always thought if the soul as consisting of mind, volition, emotions. The personality I was taught was a range of habits, your behavior, which is highly integrated with your soul. It is interesting that some have lots of knowledge, but don't have much will to do anything with it. They can...

I am reaching, because the Bible is not so explicit about what Satan is or is not aware of. I think he is on a need to know basis. He is not omniscient, omnipresent or omnipotent. He was given certain abilities and power but the blueprints of God's plan of salvation for man? Doubt it.Why...

Notice that Philip asked IF the eunuch believed in his heart in Jesus, then he could demonstrate symbolically the washing of sins in water baptism. Jesus washes away our sins spiritually. We are baptized into JESUS. Baptism means to be emerced into, in essence saturated in Christ. We are...

Just my two cents. I have to agree with you on this and add a few thoughts - which you may or may not agree with, but good post as it stands. God gives life and God takes it away. He is sovereign so whatever happens, He ordains it. He created angels with power to do His will, wether that would...

The Abyss is the underworld, a lower part of Hades where demons are imprisoned. We are in Christ and the Abyss is not. All that is pure and perfect is in Christ. Sheol (Hades) is not Hell. Hell is the Lake of Fire. "Death and Hades are both cast into the Lake of Fire and destroyed so they cannot...

What makes you think that Satan really knew Who He was talking to when He tempted Jesus? What makes you think that God revealed His plan of Salvation from the beginning to Satan? Satan probably has the Bible memorized - but he does not have discernment, he really didnt understand Messianic...

God emptied Himself into a human. He relinquished His glory temporarily, and appeared as a man, a suffering servant on a mission to save the world. Only God can save the world, wash away their sins. He was obedient and submissive to the Father. On the cross, He asked for the Father to return His...
