And there you go again perverting the Scriptures. Peter spoke well of you when he wrote: 2 Pet. 3:16 There are some things in them (Paul's letters) that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. Remember what Jesus...

Yup - in my profile picture.

And what does the Bible say about His Church?? - Only TWO entities in ALL of Scripture are referred to as the "Truth" - and ONE of them is Christ's CHURCH (1 Tim. 3:15). - Jesus compares Himself to only ONE other entity in the Gospel - His CHURCH (Acts 9:4-5). - The Bible tells us that there...

That's NOT what God was saying. If the mother forbids her child from to the convenient store for ANY reason - she would never approve of him going there on several occasions later on. The prohibition here is about buying slurpees and candy - NOT going to the store. If something is evil - it...

No - it's a loaded and baseless question. It would be like ME asking YOU: "Have you stopped beating your spouse??" - yes or no. God didn't give permission to ANYBODY to break ANY one of His Laws - EVER. Creating images was never against God's Law.

Look - I get the point you are trying to make - but it's weak, at best. You're trying to say that creating images is a bad thing - but God allowed it in a few instances. The whole point here is that making images is NOT a bad thing and was NEVER forbidden. The worship of them as gods is what...

I'll go ahead and answer the question: Exodus 34:28 tells us that there are “Ten” commandments, even though Bible doesn’t number them. As a matter of fact, if you were to count all of the “You shall nots” alongside the other two that command the keeping of the Sabbath and honoring your father...

And I'll prove you wrong. How many commandments did God write on the Tablets He gave to Moses?

And again - your point is weak because you're trying to make God into a hypocrite. God didn't tell Hosea to purchase prostitution. God didn't say, "Thou shalt not KILL." He said, "Thou shalt not MURDER." Killing is not always wrong - but murder is. Making statues is NEVER wrong - unless you...

Soooo - now you're down to referring to Sacred Scripture as "LIES"?? How far will you sink?? Regarding celibacy - Paul says it plainly: 1 Cor. 7:32-34 I should like you to be free of anxieties. An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married...

This last line of your post is proof positive that you shouldn't be pretending to represent God or His Word. God would never tell somebody NOT to immerse himself in His Word. Only Satan would want that. As for the rest of your post - it's linguistically, Scripturally and historically bankrupt...

Your point is a weak one and this is why: Where does God allow us to eat spaghetti?? Where did God say it was okay to listen to rock & roll music?? Where did God say that we could drive cars?? God doesn't forbid the making of statues - only the WORSHIP of them as gods. Why is this so difficult...

Translation: "I'm NOT perfect - but how dare you point that out in public!"

Apparently, you've gotten your feelings hurt. My intention was merely to explain to you that not all of Scripture is to be taken literally - although much of it IS meant to be. God is not a bird and does not have wings. He doesn't have a human body with fingers and nostrils. God the Son is...

Good grief - this is like speaking to a child Bible student. The Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit - but written by MEN - with human understanding. Is God a bird?? Well, Psalm 61:4 speaks of him as having "wings". Is God spirit or is He flesh?? John 4:24 says that He is SPIRIT - but Exod...

This is what happens when somebody approaches the Scriptures in total ignorance of the era that they were written. Paul is telling Timothy that polygamists could not be Bishops. He never said that an unmarried man couldn't be one. Paul recommended the celibate life for those wishing to serve...

Your Scriptural perversion never ends . . . First of all - Paul NEVER said that a man MUST be married in order to be a Bishop. In the 1st century - polygamy was rampant. Paul was simply stating that if a man wanted to be a Bishop - he could only be married to ONE woman. Anyway - this pertains...

Can you show me where the Bible says that those who are in the eternal presence of Christ are "dead"?? MY Bible indicates that they are MORE alive than YOU or me because they've been made perfect in Christ. YOU ain't . . . PS - Take some time to actually R*E*A*D the Bible. Rev. 5:8 shows the...

Apparently your failure to understand simple concepts is matched only by your inability to read. I already answered that in post #372. I told you to read it closely . . .

Translation: "I cannot prove my point on a linguistic or etymological level - so I'll just bow out now." That's what I thought . . .
