    Easter

    . The Bible's Godhead is one of the supernatural aspects of Christianity that I avoid discussing online as much as possible because only hand-picked insiders are permitted to comprehend it. †. Mtt 11:27 . . No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son...

    Easter

    . I recommend a critical look at the passage in question. †. 1Pet 3:18 . . He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit When the Spirit is capitalized— as it is in common translations —then it's easily seen that the passage is merely saying that God's Spirit restored the...

    Gen 1:3

    - †. Gen 1:3 . . Then God said "Let there be light" and there was light. In the April 2014 edition of Discover magazine, astrophysicist/cosmologist Avi Loeb states that the Bible attributes the appearance of stars and galaxies to the divine proclamation "Let there be light". Is Mr. Loeb's...

    Easter

    . It's interesting you would assert such a thing so confidently when the New Testament says nothing even vaguely similar. It would be my guess that the Lord's body didn't undergo a physical transformation until he was caught up to heaven; just as the Lord's people won't be transformed...

    Gen 1:2

    - †. Gen 1:2a . . the earth being unformed and void That statement reveals the earth's condition prior to the creation of an energy that would make it possible for its particles to coalesce into something coherent. Curiously, scientists have not yet been able to figure out what gives...

    Gen 1:1

    - The author of Genesis is currently unknown; but commonly attributed to Moses. Scholars have estimated the date of its writing at around 1450-1410 BC; which is pretty recent in the grand scheme of Earth's geological history-- a mere 3,400 years ago. Since Moses penned Exodus (Mark 12:26) it's...

    Introduction

    . Hello; and welcome to the very first book of the Bible. I'm posting a systematic, daily-bread style commentary on the book of Genesis, practically verse by verse from the creation of the cosmos to Joseph's burial in Egypt. Barring emergencies, accidents, unforeseen circumstances, and/or...

    Where Is Whitney Houston Now?

    . Something I totally forgot about Melchizedekian priests is that their authority supersedes the authority of any and all priests of the tribe of Levi. †. Heb 7:4-10 . . Just think how great he was: even the patriarch Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder! Now the law requires the descendants...

    Easter

    . Sporadic Assertion: According to Php 2:6-7, when the Word of John 1:1 translated himself into a human being, he ceased to be a spirit and that's how he became vulnerable to death. In order for that theory to be even be taken seriously, it would first have to be possible to terminate eternal...

    Where Is Whitney Houston Now?

    . Personally, I think Houston made it. Yes; her life as a Christian was a train wreck; but when a high priest of the Melchizedekian order is your mediator between man and God; that's not the deciding factor. I think her life's fatal error was in marrying a non-Christian. †. 2Cor 6:14-18 . . Do...

    Where Is Whitney Houston Now?

    . Since Houston was raised a Baptist; then she had a pretty good chance of making it to safety when she passed. What's so special about Baptists? Answer: Christ's administration. He's a Melchizedekian high priest rather than an Aaronic high priest (Ps 110:4, Heb 5:4-6, Heb 6:18-20, Heb 7:11) so...

    Easter

    . I don't see a reference to the physical properties of angel bodies within the context of those passages. All I see is that angels don't reproduce. The English words "was made" are not in the Greek manuscripts. They're words that the translators inserted. Here's an unadulterated version...

    Where Is Steve Jobs Now?

    . †. 1Cor 16:22 . . If anyone love not the Lord, let him be accursed. Love for the Bible's Christ is measured in accordance with one's compliance with his teachings. †. John 14:23-24 . . If anyone loves me, he will keep my word . . . he who does not love me does not keep my words Steve Jobs'...

    Birth Control: Is It Christian?

    . †. Gen 1:28 . . God blessed them and God said to them: Be fertile and increase, Some interpret that verse to be a mandate requiring married people to have children; and that they have no business getting married for any other reason. But the wording is so obviously a blessing rather than a...

    Understanding The Second Resurrection

    . I think it's just fascinating how two people can look at the same verse translated in the same language and yet understand it's grammar and syntax making entirely different statements. †. John 5:25-29 . . I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come, when the dead will hear the...

    Understanding The Second Resurrection

    . One expositor I listen to on a regular basis believes that the "first" resurrection encompasses a period beginning with the rapture and ending with the conclusion of the millennium. In other words: when an unrighteous person dies during the millennium they will be transferred to hades to await...

    Walking The Line In Heaven

    . "Twinkie defense" is a derisive label for an improbable legal defense. It isn't a recognized legal defense in jurisprudence, but rather a catchall term coined by reporters during their coverage of the 1979 trial of defendant Dan White for the murders of San Francisco city supervisor Harvey...

    Walking The Line In Heaven

    . That's the Twinkie Defense: in other words while non-Christians are going about saying the Devil made them do it; Christians are going about saying their body made them do it; viz: it's just more buck-passing. Cliff /

    Walking The Line In Heaven

    . Well; if what you attest is true; then how is anybody to get in? †. Mtt 19:17 . . there is none good but one, that is, God †. Rom 3:10-20 . . As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none who understands; there is none who seeks after God. They have all turned...

    Walking The Line In Heaven

    . Getting into heaven is only half the battle; and actually the easy part. The real challenge is staying. Naturally people would be on their best behavior at first; but what's to keep them that way? and what's to prevent them from being evicted? because if the wages of sin on earth is death (Rom...
