It's very telling that your principle concern is how to discipline people. While I have some sympathy for you in regards to being an active member of a local church, the motives for being so go a little deeper than having a club to police the naughty.

I think at first consideration I can agree with much of the above, but can not accept the statement that Jesus needed redemption on the basis of His human nature. I know this opens a Pandora box of other issues, the most important being the question... Are we sinners because we sin, or do we sin...

Is it possible that you and others also have that bias when giving consideration to the relationship between Father and Son? As may we all? I have shifted my stance on the trinity issue a couple of times. Once staunch trinitarian, without knowing not studying why, I was introduced to other...

There was an Aussie guy used to chat here regularly a year or so ago, he had the exact same idiosyncracy. I am not sure if it was a physical thing like yours, or dyslexia or just Google. But like Cassandra says with yours, always a signature dish on the menu. :)

I will stop you right there. The scripture itself is it's own authority. KJV Isaiah 8:20 20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them As for the bread.... See my signature below. .

And what was that cup that Christ drank on behalf of mankind? KJV Revelation 14:10 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels...

Loud words also my friend without scripture. I know you have posted scripture before, and there is much in what you sayi agree with. For example the following... I agree that the Son, while on earth, had no divine attributes of His own to depend on. He lived by faith, everything He knew...

KJV Exodus 34:5-7 5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. 6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for...

God has chosen to use His word to recreate man in His image... To sanctify. It is the only means by which man can be changed.

What did Rome do to the Albigenses, presuming they were in error, in order to reveal to them the true gospel and lead them to Christ?

Truth is determined by scripture. "Sanctify them through the truth... The word is truth". "To the law and to the testimony. If they speak not according to this word, there is no light in them". The final arbiter of truth is not the individual... The church... Or any spirit, teacher, prophet...

And reducing the divinity of Jesus to mere human, or an angel, destroys that whole paradigm that truly encapsulated the true character of God Himself... Self sacrificing love.

KJV John 6:53-64 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is...

KJV Romans 9:7-8 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

I would like to suggest that what Jesus feared was the result of the world's sin being placed upon Him, and His Father finding it so repulsive Jesus would never see Him again. At the end just before Calvary, Jesus had to die the same death as us in order to be a true propitiation. That death had...

Allow me to add something more to this regarding the connection between glory and the name of God. KJV Exodus 33:18 18 And he (Moses) said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he (The LORD) said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before...

KJV Romans 8:9 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his How many spirits do we have in us? Or do both the Father and the Son share the same Spirit? KJV Romans 8:10-11 10 And...

After 25 years I still distinctly remember how much scripture came to life after accepting the Sabbath.
