PS I agree with the second paragraph.

Wow. And I'M called a legalist !! As to Rev 21:8 Find out what FEARFUL means. Do you think that if I'm afraid of something I'll be going straight to hell?

I guess I'll get to know you eventually....maybe. But you sure do say strange things. Catholics believe in Jesus as Savior. They have some doctrine wrong.... Doctrine doesn't save BB... Jesus saves. Reformers also got a lot wrong.... but ditto for them. It would be interesting to know what...

Sounds good Big Boy. But we're not in heaven yet. I have a family I think about. I'd like to see the young ones grow up in some kind of decent and civil world. It's also scriptural to love my enemy. But I don't. Enemies give grief. No harm wished on them. But love....yeah, the type Jesus...

You would call what's left The Kingdom of God? Does what's left over look like what Jesus taught that the Kingdom of God should be like? You think Iran would stop at Israel? Good people (such as yourself) are too good. You have a neighbor that harms all the neighbors....the enemy. One day you...

Matthias... NO SHORT TERM in a nuclear war.

Hi Riven Hope all is good. I have to agree with @Big Boy Johnson and @bdavidc . I hear some say that Iran was minding their own business and Israel dropped bombs on them. The level of ignorance as what's happening with Israel is astounding to me. I think Israel did themselves, and THE WORLD...

Did you consider what I stated in my post? Does this make John 3.5 sound as if Jesus is saying a person must be born of spirit and spirit?? Also, I'd like to add that John the Baptist stated that after him would come one that would baptize with FIRE and SPIRIT. Jesus said to baptize all in the...

Do you or @BreadOfLife agree with the OP that the idea of Mary being the new Eve was used to support doctrine about Mary? (I've never heard of this).

Hi GracePeace The above sounds good. The first item...i....doesn't sound right - but I've just never considered all this before now. How does 2 Cor 11:3 show that Paul compares the Church to Eve? 2 Cor 11:2 sounds like what is said about Mary! 1 I wish that you would bear with me in a...

Food for thought. Mary birthed the Savior, so in some sense, she brought salvation into the world. But our spiritual life doesn't come through her as our spiritual life comes through Jesus - the opposite of Adam. Maybe we could say that Eve was a bad example and, instead, Mary was a good...

Understood. But this presents a problem (maybe not). I agree that kai can mean EVEN,,,which I would understand the verse in John 3.5 to mean unless one is born of WATER, WHICH IS SPIRIT, he cannot enter the Kingdom. IOW,,,Water and Spirit are the SAME. The water IS the Spirit. Correct? So...

I agree. The flood is a type of shadow about baptism, but what you have posted makes much more sense. Ezekiel 36:25-27 persons will be cleaned with water just as in the NT persons are cleansed from all sin. Water is also used for physical cleansing: 2 Kings 5:10-14 10 Elisha sent a messenger...

Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Matthew 5:33-37 Wow. I agree with you again! Jesus is only saying: Say what you mean and mean what you say. If a person is trustworthy no swearing will be necessary. And persons professing to be Christian SHOULD not have to swear...their word should be...

What can I say Bread. I agree.

Interesting. Will go check out your thread on the new Eve later.

@GracePeace Just saw that you have a thread on the New Eve. Will transfer this to over there after dinner....

I've considered the IC a lot and have come to believe that it most probably is true. It seems logical to me that God would want The Son to be in a body that was pure. Whether or not it remained pure, I have no opinion on. Also, the assumption seems a bit far off to me. Haven't thought much...

Big Boy.... Let me assure you of this: If it were not for the CC, which kept gnosticism, arianism, and other isms out of the church at the time, we would not be here discussing biblical matters.

Great post GracePeace! Sorry I didn't see it before I posted my link just above.
