    Y do U believe what U believe, and do U have good reasons 4 those beliefs? - let's find out.

    If you continue to glorify the "fruit" as your focus, don't be surprised if I continue to call you on it. I also recommend you "stop misrepresenting" the proper order of things.

    Three (3) Advents?

    "Advent" is not my term, but rather those who claim there are three (advents). But you state that the term "does NOT appear in the Bible", and that is true. But then you add your own terms giving glory to the "flesh" as if "the glorified bodies of the saints will be in Heaven" in the...

    Three (3) Advents?

    The account of Matthew 3"17 is identified not as "water", but as spirit in verse 16, as John testified, saying, "He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him." Matthew 17:5 was simply a vision given to Peter, James, and John. Being born of water is simply natural...

    Three (3) Advents?

    How absurd! Sorry if you have been mislead, but three "advents" by definition would be impossible. First the flesh, then the spirit--that's all. There is no third element or arrival.

    Thanks, it makes for a good discussion. However, that is either commendable, or shameful depending on how you look at it. The one is like Mary and the other like Martha. "But one thing is needed." Thus, on one hand it is commendable, in that those who follow Christ should indeed be on the same...

    Penal Substitution is NOT a “Theory”

    Haha...I'm not sure I understand that. But I do understand Jesus on the cross, and us in Him :)

    Penal Substitution is NOT a “Theory”

    If not for your #2 point, your #1 point would be moot and unnecessary. Apparently you misunderstand the use of "in our place." But...it's not your fault, both are simply due to a poor choice of wording. In other words, you are correct to say "in our place" is not correct. But neither are they...

    With that standard, you would not approve of King David either, in spite of the fact that God did and does eternally. As for Planned Parenthood, if Trump has chosen to pick his battles and when to do what, what is that to you? God chose him (as He does all leaders). Your disagreement is with...

    That should keep you debating until the end. I recommend not getting set in [your] ways, and not latching onto things along the path (as you have in your list above), but rather to where they lead ("Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these will be added unto you", not...

    I did, but then I forgave you. "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."

    John 16:12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now."

    What is "god?"

    Funny/amazing how science raises up the hood and declares, "Whatcha got here is...!", and the next thing you know they are considered (and see themselves as) God. When...actually...that makes them...technically...mechanics. Monkeys.

    ...Perhaps when you mature. Meanwhile---No, God is reality, and His kingdom is not of this world; biblically speaking, this would be "reality" is "created" "image(s)." As for being "Christian", examine thyself. You have it backwards. If one is of the world they are not of the kingdom, not a...

    Prophetic Chart from beginning unto the ending, Prophetic studies

    You are grossly out of context. That all has to do with the merely [created] times of this world. His kingdom is not of this world.

    Prophetic Chart from beginning unto the ending, Prophetic studies

    Indeed, these things are all written as "Once upon a time." But such an understanding is for children; and it is only a child who would read "yesterday, today, and forever" and actually consider them "the same." It is an intentional contradiction in terms. But God did not contradict Himself--He...

    Prophetic Chart from beginning unto the ending, Prophetic studies

    Men can say these things in speaking for themselves...but not for Jesus. He spoke for Himself, and it is His hour that marks the time, not that of those who would claim to be in Him. So, one can speak of all these matters in terms of the world and that of men in their own life and times, or in...

    The Truth about our Future

    You have the tail wagging the dog. So disrespectful. But it is He who is true in saying when "It is finished." It is His word, and His life and death, not that of men during their own life and times as if the world evolved around them or you. Just as He is the only begotten of the Father, "It"...

    This is quite apropos (by no coincidence). Your first quote/post above of course meant something to you in your conversing with someone else. But within the context of James 1:23 the image in a glass, refers to an image not being real, i.e., he referred to someone who is "not a doer of the word"...

    Should business owners have the right to discriminate?

    To be fair, one should also ask: Should customers have the right to discriminate against businesses? Should employees have the right to discriminate against businesses? What's fair is fair?
