- Speaking of traditions. At Matt 23:23 and Luke 11:42, Christ okayed traditions just so long as they don't clash with the Bible. Take for example Christ's use of wine at his final Passover meal. That element isn't stipulated in God's instructions in the 12th chapter of Exodus. Passover wine is...

- According to Gen 1:1-31, John 1:1-4, and 1John 1:1-2, there is only one eternal life; and that's God. All other forms of life are created life; which is life that had beginnings. Seeing as how eternal life is God, then eternal life had no beginning; viz: it always was, it always is, and it...

- Note the grammatical tense of the "have" verb in Christ's statements: it's present tense rather than future, indicating that his believing followers have eternal life right now-- no delay and no waiting period. †. John 6:54 . .Whoever who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life †...

- According to Benedict XIV (De Synodo di£cesanâ, XIII, xi, 9) there are three kinds of apostasy: one of which is called Fide or perfidi£- defined as a Christian giving up his faith. The Church defines a Christian as someone whose religion is Christianity as it realized in the Roman Catholic...

- Of one thing I'm pretty sure: Though eternal life is immortal; eternal life isn't immortality. For instance when Christ says: "I assure you, those who heed my message, and trust in God who sent me, have eternal life" he isn't saying that they have immortality. The proof of that is all around...

- My mom had me baptized an infant into the Roman Catholic Church in 1944; and when old enough; enrolled me in catechism where I eventually completed First Holy Communion and Confirmation. My aunt and uncle were Catholics, their son is a Catholic, one of my half brothers is now a semi-retired...

- Christian faith accepts what's revealed to it rather than believing only what makes sense to it. For instance: the human body is revealed not as innocent flesh; rather: as sinful flesh. †. Rom 8:3 . . God, sending His own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and as an offering for sin...

- I'm married-- same girl, going on 36 years. The subject does matter. I don't like to talk about just any old thing. Some people are natural born bee-essers: I'm not. ====================================================

- This is only one of many, many topics that I've initiated all across the internet since 1997. And I've done them all for one reason, and one reason only: entertainment. I used to play video games, but now I do forums. Keeps my mind active, and at my age; that's pretty important. BTW: Some...

- From failing eyesight. I have cataracts and sometimes can't see verse numbers all that well on screen in my Bible software. Paul said that nothing good dwelled in his body's flesh (Rom 7:18). If his statement is true and reliable, then by default only bad things were dwelling in it; and that...

- That's true. However; the human body's flesh produces human nature; and that's why Paul said: "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing" (Rom 7:18) "For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law...

- It appears from Rom 7:14-28 and Rom 8:3 that my body is sinful. I certainly had no choice in that; nor do I have perfect understanding of what it is about my body that's bad. But even if I did; there's probably nothing I can do about it anyway. I mean: my body has a number of automatic...

- FAQ: Is it okay to count the day of Christ's death and burial as one of the three days predicted as per Matt 12:40? A: It's tempting to count the afternoon of Christ's burial as one of the days as per Matt 12:40 and John 2:19-22, but don't do it. Wait until the Jews' preparation for Passover...

- I suspect that God did His work of creation during what is defined as daytime rather than what is defined as nighttime in order to convey the idea that His work was a work of light as opposed to a work of darkness That makes sense to me seeing as how there were no actual mornings and...

- In accordance with a normal, strict chronological sequence; evening and morning would indicate overnight; viz: a day of creation would take place entirely in the dark; which fails to comply with the definitions of day given at Gen 1:4-5 and Gen 1:14-18. Now we could keep it simple by saying...

- Recapping posts 221, 223, and 226. 1• In the beginning, God defined day as light, and night He defined as darkness (Gen 1:3-5) 2• In the beginning, God further defined day as when the sun is up, and furthur defined night as when the sun is down. (Gen 1:14-18) 3• Christ defined day as when...

- The Hebrew word for "day" is a bit ambiguous. According to Gen 1:3-5 and Gen 1:14-18, yowm (yome) indicates daylight; viz; when the sun is up as opposed to when the sun is down. At Gen 2:4, yowm indicates the entire creation endeavor. In the passage below, we're introduced to yet a third...
