For goodness sake, Did you happen to notice that ALL of Matthew 13 is parables? Did you ever consider that Jesus spoke in parables to THAT CROWD all afternoon/day long? This is what Matthew meant in Matthew 13:34 I mean, you really think that JESUS ONLY SPOKE IN PARABLES? Was He not a divine...

Of course I see this. Jesus is the LIVING BREAD. If any eats OF THIS BREAD, he will live forever. The bread is the flesh of JESUS...which He'll give for the life of the world. At the last supper Jesus held the bread in His hands and said THIS IS MY BODY which will be given up for you. The...

I don't know who Joel Stein is. The above is rather childish...which must conform to your thinking method. I care not for anything you have to say. I'm sorry that you think you're Christian when it's necessary for a person to believe that Jesus is God in order to be defined as Christian. I...

Romans 7:24-25 is explained very well in The Passion Translation and the Amplified Bible. I'll post the Passion Translation which, in this case, explains it well: What an agonizing situation I am in! So who has the power to rescue this miserable man from the unwelcome intruder of sin and death...

It's very nice of God to have revealed stuff to you that He reveals to no one else. Guess it was God that told you He spoke ONLY in parables. Or maybe that He didn't mean THE LESSON that parables taught to be literal. Whatever the case, our conversation has ended. Last word: I'd be very...

How about: For our own good? Every freedom taken away is for our own good. The frog in the pan in cold water on the small flame.

Jesus has the truth. Follow Jesus and HIS words. It's not complicated at all.

Victory, When someone tells you that something has to be spiritually discerned, and then quotes verses about beasts and the natural man, as if they have all the truth, and you have none, because, somehow, YOU are NOT spiritual, it's time to quit speaking to that person. In my humble opinion...

Ah. So that's why you gave no examples... OK Guns. We're not free anymore...hence the desire to ban them completely. The final defense against tyranny.... Right. But it's tyranny that the powers that be desire... guns get in the way. Also, isn't it interesting that criminals will always have...

Since you started this thread, maybe we could get into this a little more and see if we could find a common language? I think that what you call the sin body is known as the sin nature. IOW, when we're born, we're stained with the sin of Adam. Our nature has been corrupted. It used to be...

John 6 is not a parable. Do you think so? Which verses? I've been back and forth on this. I'm not saying I'm 100% sure like I am of some other theological doctrine. But, yes, it's either the Real Presence or Transubstantiation, which even Luther believed to be true. To me it sounds like Jesus...

Wrangler... You sound like a philosopher type... why not give some examples while you're there typing out the stuff?

Even Egypt won't have them enter. But.... :backtop:

I do believe it's available right here on earth. And thanks for the compliments... that's so loving of you.

Agreed. There should be no common ground with the world. Re the CC, let me say that it's not so much that it teaches incorrectly the word of God... it certainly does not, but they have ADDED to the word of God and thus nullifies some of the teachings. I won't get into it here, but, yes, some...

This is also for @Zeth4500 - I just read a post of his and my reply is practically the same. I don't know what you mean by the above. What do you mean BUT TO ACT LIKE ONE? Are we speaking about Christians here or persons that are MAKING BELIEVE to be Christian? I thought we were speaking about...

My brother and I had planned a month long trip to Israel for this very year. A bit too late I'd say. My husband and I didn't get to see every single place we would have like to visit, but number one on the list was Israel, which we never got to. God willing...in the future or else in the great...

Wow. Yeah, GP, I'm pretty sure we agree on everything, but you sure do use language I'm not used to! I don't understand what you just posted above. You said: In other words, just as we don't do good in Christ, so, also, sinners don't sin when they're in sin. No idea what that means. Are you...

Since God CREATED THE LAW And Jesus is God, I'd say that whatever Jesus states can be taken to mean that HE/GOD allows it. I think we have to be able to distinguish between a parable -which in any case uses real and true examples - and also understand that WHATEVER type of speech Jesus used, He...

Yes, I do believe we're in agreement. But what do you mean by your last line? We don't do it. Sin works its own works in us--beginning with the desire-thought. What do you meant by WE DON'T DO IT? And, yes, maybe your step-father was right!
