You pass the test. :thumbsupx1 Let's see what the other member thinks about this "WORD". What we know for sure is that it was God. And then it became flesh.

Yes sir. You don't have to convince me. Calvinism teaches doctrine that is nowhere to be found in the NT. Or the OT.

Yes sir. In the 1840's someone began to teach that the Pyramids tell us when the world will end. He was wrong, I think about 3 times. No matter. He died and someone else took over. They created a cult following with rules and regulations.... a dress code is always the sign of a cult. Following...

That day better come fast Trevor! Been studying the bible 50 years and there are not many left. So what does John 1:14 mean? How do YOU understand it? Here's my understanding, which you already know, but to repeat: SOMETHING called THE WORD was WITH GOD and WAS GOD. This SOMETHING called THE...

Great point ! Often missed. Some put all the onus on Jesus,,,as if we do not have free will.... as if we need do nothing.

Yes. It's the same. There is only ONE return of Jesus. The rapture just means that those still living at the end of the world will be raptured/caught up with Christ. Jesus is coming back ONE TIME.... Not two. Also, may I add, that Revelation has a lot of truth and also a lot of literal...

Yes sir...some of these comments certainly do remind me of Matthew 5:19 when Jesus teaches that we are not to teach others to sin - break commandments. I understand what some mean when they say that we obey God out of love. I agree with this. But when it stops there and then they start...

That is the verse that really led me to understand the Trinity. John 1:1 and John 1:14 I find it difficult to understand why others don't understand this very simple concept. And....I must add, that even if we do not understand the Trinity, it still must be accepted. THIS and the RESURRECTION...

Agreed.

Interesting comment. In your opinion...are there ANY legal requirements in the Christian faith? It seems to me that we are required to keep Holy the Lord's Day. You say no. So we could make up our own rules? We're not supposed to steal. Is that a requirement? Who gets to decide? Is there a...

Everyone on this Forum who is Christian and knows scripture KNOWS that Jesus was referring to HIS BODY. It is His Body that was raised after 3 days. Let's look at the verses again: John 2:14-21 18 The Jews then said to Him, "What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?"...

I don't see a reply to my question to you. Here it is again: from my post no. 673 I've asked but received no reply from you. John 1:1 speaks of A WORD. Whatever the WORD is, it became FLESH and dwelt among us. No need for Greek. WHAT became flesh?? I don't remember discussing the above...

PS I don't know anyone on these boards well enough to get upset over anything they post. I NEVER get upset ---- this is your problem --- you ASSUME too much. I'm here to post to correct some important information that is incorrectly posted. Incorrect theology must be corrected.

I DO NOT want to debate anything. For those reading along, I felt it was important to clarify both the Catholic and Protestant beliefs that some have that are INCORRECT. No reply necessary.

I agree that heresies were taught in the Christian religion from the very beginning. When I mention 200 years ago, I'm referring specifically to those that teach that Jesus is not God. This was settled in the early church because some were teaching that Jesus was just a man. This would be the...

The JWs got so much wrong it's difficult to address it all. I understand they've changed some of their rules - the man-made rules. Maybe the young were deserting that cult? Don't know - don't really care - it's good if people get out of it. It's a CULT for goodness sake.....

Actually, the bible does say to study to show ouselves approved. Studying ALSO requires a carnal mind. And the word PERFECT can have different meanings,,,including endeavor or complete in intent...(as you've stated) it certainly does not mean perfect in the literal meaning because Jesus knew...

saved, fell on this when I went to this page. There's so much garbage in your post that I wouldn't know where to start. I know that YOU are not making those statements,,,but are INCORRECT ideas on all sides. Catholics that believe Protestants are going to hell don't know their religion/faith...

What are we His workmanship for? I never feared God. I always tried to live for Him. I don't care for analogies - God is not human. What you're doing is comparing the law to grace... then just do that. Paul said we are not to walk in the flesh but in the spirit. He said this to Christians...

I believe what @Lizbeth wrote is correct. I BELIEVE what she's saying is that we cannot percieve God with our brain ALONE.... although certainly some have come to God through the thinking process. I think she's saying that we need the Holy Spirit to understand the word of God and we are NOT to...
