So why does the Bible have approximately 3/4 million words for us to read? This is what I can't figure out. People all have their pet verses and doctrines and many act like nothing else matters when Jesus says we must live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. :confused:

You can't get any more real than the red letters, my friend. :D

Except for right here:

I gotta say, FB, this is a little surprising, if not disappointing. I once read from research by the (reputable) Barna Group that benevolent altruism and/or consecration rates were similar among nearly all people groups, small, large, religious, or otherwise. In other words, human nature is the...

Be that as it may... :)

I'm not so sure Jesus would appreciate you laughing at Him: She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. (John 8:11) Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come...

Because it is used to advance the theory that the 4th commandment has been abolished or changed.

I wasn't really trying to make a case against eternal security. I was merely copying something I'd shared before to disprove that arguments have never been made, as per the claim made by @Blood Bought 1953 . :)

You've heard it argued many times. Just not in a way that is agreeable to you. I'm assuming you're not lying; just misspeaking. Security is eternal only for those whose faith is eternally fixed on Jesus, and whose life is connected to the one who is our life. Obviously, we can choose to be lost...

oops

I make a lot of people uncomfortable and angry because I don't talk very much about grace and faith. The thing is, there's no shortage of coverage on that subject in today's church. No shortage at all. NONE AT ALL. And I've never been one to belabor the obvious. No one here is being deprived of...

The condition of eternal life is the same as it has always been: Perfect obedience to the commandments of God. If it were not so, there would have been no need of a Saviour. :) Matthew 19 16And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have...

You have to put an asterisk (@) before farouk if you want to get his attention. :)

So the Holy Spirit and Strong's Concordance led you to determine that the word that 30+ English Bibles translates "week" is actually "Sabbaths?" Malachi 3:6 doesn't say anything about substance and essence. That's your private interpretation. In fact, its context is much like that of Jeremiah...

Thank you

Hebrews 10 1For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. 2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers...

I'm assuming, since you seem to be implying here that I'm brainwashed, that you never relied on any third party influence to arrive at your current theological conclusions? AGREED! For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. (Malachi 3:6) I've told you...

Exactly when did grace, faith, and truth come?

Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. (1 Thessalonians 5:22-24) And, behold, I...
