Figurative use of language is not imprecise; it’s just not literal. Death is literally the end of life, which is quite precise.

And the real God. Are you following the real God? 'For us, there is one God the Father?' 1 COR 8:6 Or are you following another god, who aims to rob God (who is the Father alone) of his due glory? A. 1 Timothy 1:17 (NLT) All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He (singular) is the eternal...

A newbie in another thread brought out this golden nugget. It begs the question of how many times does Jesus have to talk about his God for trinitarians to recognize he is not God? By contrast, the Father NEVER talks about his God. Revelation 3:12 Contemporary English Version 12 Everyone who...

You do not have the fruit of the Spirit but are petty. has anyone Claimed that some 14:1 means or says there is no god?

~1700 years before Christ, the Angel of Death passed over the house of Israel upon the condition they put blood of a lamb on the door. So, substitutionary punishment had been established for millenia. God has no needs. And it is best not to grabble with WHY or HOW. It's beyond our pay grade...

So, you are stating verses clearly intended to arm yourself for self defense are not that purpose AND THEN deny that any statement could be taken to mean that. Good bye.

I noticed he did not answer the question.

Bless your heart for exposing your reading comprehension to suppose Jesus command to buy a sword was so the Apostles and we could non-violently hunt.

I doubt anyone allowed to post in the non-other Faith thread denies Jesus was resurrected.

I disagree. Proof does not mean a standard beyond ALL doubt. Even criminal trials are often decided based on circumstantial evidence. And Civil trials are won, ‘proven’, based on the preponderance of evidence TO BE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT. No sir, I will not abdicate language, words to the...

Your tone is unbecoming AS IF he has to be an apostle or prophet to make a valid point. Verses are not sentences. Quoting part is for brevity sake, not deception sake. For instance, Sean Hannity frequently quotes a portion of John 14:1, let your heart not be troubled.

Your confidence and compliments in me is inspiring.

Although I agree, the point is not whether they deserved to be deceived; the point is the LORD admits to lying, to deceiving them.

Truth is the foundation upon which to build. Given what is true, now what? It is a call to action. The ancients knew this. Todays generation fails to grasp when Scripture talks about knowing, it means to act accordingly. Our parents asked, did you hear me? What they meant is, are you going...

Epistemology is about the limits and levels of knowledge. The 2nd branch of philosophy. Knowledge is different from opinion, feeling, intuition or instinct. A coworker asked me every day, “Whst do you know?” This thread is about the 1st branch of philosophy, metaphysics. What is real or true...

Possibility is proof? There is no evidence for multi-verse; it is a statement of speculating a beginning beyond what evidence supports, Creation. Calling it by another name (Big Bang) changes nothing. It is proof using the civil standard of more likely than not. You not only reject the...
