Always on the attack and never on defense. My self-righteousness cannot hold a candle to the Catholics usurping Christ's authority on Earth.

You cannot be serious!! "Anyone who isn’t against us is for us" IS explicitly approving of the only known denomination at the time. Jesus did not speak only about that specific Spirit led person but generally for "Anyone" who does the same. I can hardly imagine a stronger endorsement of...

Which Christ totally rebuked the ignorant disciples thought on the subject. I already provided the Scripture. I guess it means nothing to you.

Why does that "matter?" 1 Corinthians 11:3 informs us Christ is the head of man. That is, it is Christ who leads men. There really is no need for men to lead other men other than for convenience, economies of scale, division of labor, etc.

You are a completely illogical man! The Bible does not say there is one denomination that is correct either. Your position is based on Appeal to Ignorance; there is no evidence to support your position, so it should be accepted by default?!

Oh? How about Paul repenting on the road to Damascus, set apart from those Apostles who walked with Jesus? Sure, he chatted with the old guard here and there but mainly, he was an independent Crusader.

Yabut all these other verses ...

I’ve already explained it dozens of times in threads not about the Book of Acts. Just search when I’ve referenced Deuteronomy 18:15-18. PM me with any questions.

No problem at all, my friend. Not really. Maybe it's God's way of keeping us humble, that we do not earn his grace, not even King David. Certainly, David deserved to build the temple more than anyone but God does not give us what we deserve but better than we deserve, right?

What Scripture says when Mary's egg was when it was fertilized? I am at a loss at your entire line of thought. Keep on parsing synonyms Sue. You can do it!

Wow! God is sovereign. Spirits are not. You are stuck on something here very peculiar. I'm not sure what sin you are associating with sexual reproduction. I guess you are fully vested in your doctrine. 2 Samuel 7:16

If ... anything. What God is capable of is different from what he did or chooses to do. Sadly, this thread has delved unnecessarily into the mechanics of his miracle. Mary was devout and favored by God. She raised our Lord as other parents raise their children, be it biological, step...

Parsing synonyms must be taxing on your mind. Emoting is the verb form of emotion. Conception is the noun form of conceiving. The act is conceiving. The resulting state or condition is conception. I don't know what difference you are trying to make here but it is fun to watch! ;)

This detailed linguistic analysis is the same point I've made dozens of times. Speaking, expressing or voicing a word is an attribute of being. It is not a being. Certainly, any action of a being is not a separate being from the being doing the acting. "Of God" or 'of the being' could be added...

If there was no fertilization of Mary’s egg, the prophecy is untrue that David’s kingdom will continue with no end.

The scriptures are no where near that specific. No mysterious secret conception? You are seriously parsing words forms, conceived and conception?! The idea that there is anything wrong with a married woman having sex is absurd and such prudeness turns off unbelievers, who end up mocking such...

Jesus is unique but not for the reason you cite. Jesus is not God, which is why he said the Father is greater than he. Jesus is the only mediator, as you said.

Oh, by all means try to reach him. Yea, especially John 20:31 where he says EVERYTHING he's written is to prove to you Jesus is the Messiah. Logic dictates this means NOTHING John wrote ought to be interpreted for other purposes, like 4th century God incarnation.

His question is rhetorical. I've literally answered it dozens of times already. All of the Gospels refer to the Only Begotten Son of God. None of the Gospels refer to God incarnate because that is a 4th century invention.

You misunderstand me. The text makes it clear David was not allowed to build the temple for reasons having nothing to do with David's evil. The prohibition was based on David acting according to the Will of God, when God "was with him" in conquering all the lands that threatened Israel. It...
