. J.D. was a gay man who murdered upwards of 18 males. I won't go into the grisly details of those incidents other than to say that he cannibalized, lobotomized, dismembered, beheaded, eviscerated, and performed unspeakable acts of necrophilia with their remains. His primary motivation? Well...

. FYI: one of the more common stumbling blocks that I've encountered in the last 16 years among people online wearing the Protestant label is their chronic inability to understand what it means to perish. For example: †. Matt 5:30 . . If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it...

. Face up to it Willie: yours isn't a lone voice crying in the wilderness; no, yours is just another set of lungs bellowing clichés, slogans, and toxic rejoinders in lock-step with a very common status quo. FYI: one of the more common stumbling blocks that I've encountered in the last 16 years...

Wake up and smell the coffee Willie. I've dialogued with people on nearly thirty different internet forums in the last 16 years and trust me; they all defend their understanding of the Bible pretty much the very same way you do: Spirit and all; and yet those same supposedly Spirit-led people are...

:-) Claiming so-called "scriptural support" is an arbitrary assertion. One guy can make a passage of the Bible support one thing, and another guy comes along and makes the same passage support something the opposite. It's been my experience that people are very adept at forcing the Bible to...

The skill with which clever sophists have managed to spin eternal suffering out of the Bible is pretty impressive. †. Rev 21:8 . . But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire...

You really should pay more attention to language and grammar. Neither Jesus nor the cross are mentioned in the eternal gospel as per Rev 14:6-7. It's focus is primarily upon the originator of the cosmos; which is essentially the very same focus as Gen 1:1. In other words: you either believe in...

. Were I to recommend a so-called fifth gospel, I would pick the one that the Bible labels "eternal". †. Rev 14:6-7 . . And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an eternal gospel to preach to those who live on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he...

. According to Rom 14:1, the whole chapter addresses not just any bone of contention; but specifically bones of contention related to faith. For example: †. Acts 15:19-21 . . I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, but that we write to them to...

1) Yhvh attests that the Jews are blind 2) The prophets attest that the Jews are blind 3) Jesus attests that the Jews are blind 4) Old Testament authors attest that the Jews are blind. 5) New Testament authors attest that the Jews are blind. 6) Jesus attended none of the Jews' seminaries to...

Jewish rabbis are not qualified to instruct the Lord's followers. According to Eph 4:8-14, Christ has taken measures to provide his church with teachers of his own choosing rather than the Jews' choosing. A Christian attending yeshiva would be like a like an aspiring welder going to med school...

. When people build doctrines upon things that are not expressly stated in the Bible; they sometimes resort to passages that allude to their doctrines. A very common one is the doctrine of purgatory. There is no purgatory expressly mentioned in the Bible so those who believe in a purgatory point...

. According to Isa 53:6, John 1:29, and 1John 2:2; Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. However, according to Rom 6:3-6, Gal 2:20, and Col 3:3; only believers are accounted as actually having gone to the cross with him. Buen Camino /

According to Rom 5:12-18, everybody who descends from the first man is born subject to mandatory termination due to Adam's sin. Now if you could somehow manage to prove that Jesus wasn't born biologically related to Adam; then maybe you'd have a case for your theory; but the Bible has gone to...

Your emphasis should be on the word "appointed" instead of once. The reason being that according to Rom 5:12-18, everyone's first death is mandatory due to the forbidden fruit incident. For that reason Jesus would have eventually himself had he not been crucified. However, the second death...

. †. Ps 58:3 . .The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. In other words: when babies are born, they come into the world already on the path to a lifetime of deception rather than on the path to a lifetime of honesty. It isn't necessary to...

. The tragedy of the second death is that there are no more deaths after that because according to Dan 12:2, John 5:29, and Rev 20:5-6 there is but one resurrection allotted per person; which is very serious because according to Rom 6:23, the wages of sin is death. Let's say that somebody...

Ecclesiastes is not "the Bible". Ecclesiastes is only one of the Bible's 66 books. And in point of fact, Ecclesiastes isn't even "God's word". Though the author was no doubt inspired to write Ecclesiastes: the book itself does not, by any stretch of the imagination, contain revelation...

Resurrection and Reincarnation are two very different processes. Reincarnation isn't necessarily a return to one's human existence; but rather, a rearrangement of the karmic matter that was once a particular individual. Simply put, karmic matter is like the pieces and parts that go into...
