Odd since denigrating God's word as found in the OT is EXACTLY what you immediately do. Invention. The OT tells us God is one, who is the Most High and his (singular) name is YHWH. Not once is Jesus referred to as YHWH. Not once in the OT. Not once in the NT. Jesus NEVER claims to be YHWH. So...

You are not making a savior substitution but a God substitution. Perhaps you don’t realize it. Rather than add words in parenthesis to Scripture, why don’t you just quote Scripture exactly? Who saves you from drowning in the water from the Coast Guard, A or B (or both)? A. Ensign who pulls you...

Wow! Total despair is coming across here. You don't sound saved but lost, yourself. Don't you know that our awesome God is a God of redeeming us? Do you like your personality? Your posts read as though you are 100% extrovert, with your total sense of self coming from being validated by others...

Aside from any translation with James in the title is the worst translation available today, your mistake was not quoting v11 v v10 but in claiming Scriptures states what you put in parenthesis.

Bad translation. ESV, one of the most literal, has it; Titus 2:11 English Standard Version 11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,

No. It really proves @RR144's point. Regarding Sodom and Gomorrah will or will NOT be resurrected; He provided dates of many flip flops in an extremely well researched post.

Ignoring the harmful data of JW policies, as you said "justification can lead us down a very dark path." You just don't see how the JW path is dark - even when it is presented to you. :joycat: Another example of such rigidness of word usage (requiring lengthy rationalizations). The point...

The question - Is it your position that Christ will one day die (in the future) - comes from recognizing 2 facts you are in denial of. Immortal and everlasting life are synonyms. See your favorite lexicon. Scripture teaches that if elected by God one becomes (in the future) immortal...

Merriam Webster.

Hmmm. I'm asking what you position is and your replying that it is not your position. :contemplate: We seem to be having a tense obstacle to communication and I don't know why. "Will one day" is referring to the future. 'Was before' refers to the past. It is inaccurate to say Joe Biden was...

Strength comes through testing and pushing limits.

Only in the intellectual sense. A farmer must still till the soil and plant the seeds even when he has learned all that can be about the work to be done. Said differently, the practical work of the Great Commission does not stagnate due to one flat lining on the curve of intellectual...

IMO, this deserves its own thread. Your question involves a bit of historicity. I'm reading a book right now The Admirals by Walter R. Borneman. The navy played war games for 20 years anticipating an attack by Japan. In the days before Pearl Harbor, there was an order to all units in the...

But you do find verses that validate everlasting life?

Parsing synonyms.

I already explained how this is not true coming right out of the gate in Genesis. Is it your position that Christ will one day die? That we, once resurrected as Christ was resurrected, will experience a "Second Death" that is not at the Day of Judgment?

The sad thing is many people think the consequences are unintended; naïvely, believe the propaganda that the government is well-meaning, but shortsighted. The truth is far more malevolent. Even when presented undeniable proof many people just can’t bring them selves to believe it is this bad...

I'm not worried. I'm sure those who represent me and who are in a position of power will only act in my best ... oh, nevermind.

This is one of my favorite trinitarian rationalizations. When my buttered bread falls to the floor, I am not actually claiming it is feces.

Why is that?
