No, neither do I know. While I understand what is saying that doesn't provide a definite answer either. When I was searching in my old Bible studies under "three" I found one of our old discussions I copied in May of 2010. It doesn't help with this topic however... I copied quite a few of...

You might be surprised what some people believe and teach others. Then again if you stick around this forum very long likely nothing will surprise you.

Why 3 rather some other number? I see 3 tongues, 3 heavens, 3 levels in Noah's ark and 3 parts in the tabernacle in the wilderness, but why 3 rather than some other number? This is perhaps like asking why God set up this whole scenario of men and a definitely answer is not forthcoming. I was...

Why indeed? "Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: For as...

Perhaps Jesus simply came "down" among men into their hell taking up an abode in the a piece of earth [dirt forming a physical body] in which he would dwell until the end of his course being as a carnal man tempted in the all the ways that all of the other carnal men are tempted. But... Jesus...

I don't know. I read up on it when I had it a couple of years ago, but most of it escapes me now. I guess that means my brain is also going downhill...?

When I was very young I did the same thing. I lived in California when most of the many beaches were empty most of the time. Later on they got crowded and I wanted to avoid them anyway. I do understand still how people look at this. But I must add that once a person has had cancer, or perhaps...

@CovenantPromise Welcome to the forum! May God richly bless your time here!

Even so and therefore Apostle Paul warns us: "Quench not the Spirit." I Thess 5:19

Having had skin cancer twice, one a melanoma, I would certainly have to disagree. People foolishly expose their skin needlessly to the sun. My father's cancer started in the skin and proceeded from there to the internal organs. He died within 6 months of first diagnosis.

Yes! "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man." Luke 2:52 However then we have this speaking of the new man versus the old man as I understand it: "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30

The oral may mean that which spoken, but really what is necessary is that which is spoken by God. A person can memorize the written Bible and then recite it aloud without really knowing the Word of God. I suspect that Jews who really loved God understood that in their hearts. Christians who...

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Prov 3:5-6 But, then Apostle Paul warns us here: "Quench not the Spirit." I Thess 5:19 This quenching of the Holy Spirit within us equals that...

You see the picture not so far from the way I see it. Some will agree with us on this. Some will disagree. Some will not know what we are talking about... Give God the glory!

Thank you for your response and the clarity of it... even if I am not with you on every point... that is to say I cannot agree without reservation. I agree on the virginity of Mary without adding the "perpetual". I am not adding anything here. I have read the arguments including the scriptures...

Thank you for your clarification. We are essentially in agreement here.

You speak of "the results of Protestantism", but I would speak rather of the results of men and their very common and very general problems with understanding who, what and why Jesus was and is, as they [prior to Luther who was simply the straw breaking the camel's back] were heading fast into...

I agree with much of what you have said and of course with the scripture you posted, although likely our understanding of the scriptures would not be precisely the same. One question on your words above: How did you decide that the Protestants hold "silver" while the RCC holds "a lot of gold and...

I won't say you are wrong on this, but we do need to be careful about generalizing, especially in a negative way about others. This may bring it may bring it back on us considering these verses? "Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with...

I certainly agree with you concerning the problem of the word, Christian, and how people use it. Long ago I became very cautious in how I use it because people mean different things by it or have no real idea what they mean when they use it. I don't understand what you mean by the above words...
