Well said. This has come to be so contentious in our Christian faith. It's obvious that Jesus commanded us to obey Him and this is done by action that is dictated by being IN CHRIST. Too many, these days, make it sound as if our actions have no consequences...even if this may not be what they...

First of all I'm not Catholic, but I do respect many of their teachings. Second,,,do you think all Protestant scholars agree that it's natural birth? Take a look at commentaries from biblehub... John 3:5 Commentaries: Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and...

There is debate as to what it means...actually it could be proven either way....natural childbirth or baptism. Biblical scholars are not agreed on what every single verse might mean. Don't know what GO BUY A CAR means.... but actually I took your advice and just did buy one. Good. This is as...

Please see my post no. 173 re 1 John 2:27 Galatians 1:12 --- Yes,,, Paul received it straight from Christ. But we haven't seen Christ. What did Truther say? Will check it out tomorrow. I'm not saying we shouldn't depend on the Holy Spirit.... just that what we hear has to be biblical. Acts...

Can't there legitimately be two? Check out John 3:5 5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. I always believed WATER meant natural child birth. Now I'm not so sure --- many scholars believe it means...

In John 14:26 Jesus was speaking to the Apostles. He also gave them the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and...

Right. Thanks for adding to my post.

Ditto for me. But understanding scripture is different from interpreting it. Sometimes we understand a verse right away. Sometimes we don't get it. But that doesn't give us the right to interpret it however we wish it to be.... We wait for a while....but sometimes a commentary is necessary. I...

Well T.... then who are we to believe? Daniel or Paul? Could it be that there's a discrepancy in the bible! I'm sure there isn't. Here is what Paul said: Philippians 2:2 make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. 1...

Great points. And then we have sola scripture: Only the scriptures should be the authority. And then we have solo scripture: Some sit at home and interpret scripture their very own way.

This is not a bad way to listen to God's words.... I do believe that what we need to know, Jesus has answered. But, whatever works for you is good as long as it's within God's word.

Agreed. Jesus' propitiation was for everyone that will accept His terms... Be born again Obey God's commandments which are wrapped up in the Great Two Commandments that Jesus left us with. And, of course we go on sinning. We are not sinners,,,,but we will sin as long as we breath. Although, I...

Agreed! Paul wrote most of the N.T. and the theology of Christianity... but sometimes I think he went to the cross instead of Christ, the way he's revered. When in doubt, I always go to the words of Jesus.

What does it mean that Jesus isn't going to pay for such sins? Jesus paid for ALL THE SINS of everyone in the world from beginning to end. 1 John 2:2 2and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

Yes. I always feel like @Behold goes a bit too far for me... but I understand what he's saying,,,,I just dislike how he says it. I'll say hello to Rollo. He doesn't like to post so much anymore.

Behold,,, I stopped reading after the very beginning. Why? Because we finally Agree! We are not to consider ourselves sinners but Children of God. I was too afraid to read the rest..... Galatians 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 6:18 “And I will...

Will send you a PM in the morning. Too tired now. He's still single.... FOR NOW!

A free turkey! You get an all-expense paid trip to Israel ! Silly girl.... :)
