Reading all the posts, debates, and definitive positions assumed, one must ask what are they based on? The bible is mum on this subject, and the bible addresses the sinful nature, fall, and redemption of man, not animals. Furthermore, animals can't sin, so, salvation is not a viable question...

For a starter, see the below. Washing of regeneration is a clear reference to baptism, and the 2 Cor scripture says "in Christ"; how does one get to be "in Christ"? We're baptized into Christ at which time our sins are removed and we become sinless as is a child at birth, and are added to the...

Being born again happens at the same exact time that you become a child of God, a Christian, and that happens when you're baptized into the body of Christ, the church, and your sins are removed. It all happens at the same time which is obvious when all scriptures are considered.

Hello. Just to supplement my previous reply to you regarding the church of Christ in the Uk. I see by a lot of the other postings and your questions that your perception of the church and Christianity is based on a view predicated upon the large institutional religious organizations you're...

Yes. When you look at the 3 John letters and Revelation, they are all supposedly written around the same time which is a pretty good stretch, and is indefinitive, covering a period before and after the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD. For certain Revelation pertains to before the fall because John is...

It doesn't necessarily

That might very well be (or not), but that still doesn't address Rev 10:11 which lends credence to my op position.

Read closely Rev 1:9 9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Note the word highlighted, "was", that it's past...

meaningless. Repetitive, scripted, etc, is no different than what Muslims do when everyone holds out their hands like they're catching water. Sincere prayer from the heart, not from script.

His kingdom on earth is the church, so, no, not OT

Absolutely 100%. There are tons of documentary utube videos that show unbelievable, undeniable hard to believe things. I've watched many myself. The devil is not shy to present himself as opposed to God who won't be tempted and requires faith. I can provide links if anyone wishes, but simply...

No definitive age, like when the clock strikes 12 midnight on a specific day in your life, and the only guide we have is the Lord himself, being 12 years old when he began doing his father's work, Luke 2:42. Because there is no definitive age, and people mature at different rates, it's important...

So, the bible can't be and wasn't intended to be understood by the common, everyday, man, right? We commoners can't look at the bible in it's simplicity to understand such things as salvation, right? The simple words that Philip spoke to the Ethiopian eunuch really had deeper esoteric meaning...

Like I said, believe what you like; and, FYI, God's word is simple and understandable as God intended it to be. It's mankind that twists and complicates it by applying their illogical logic. Goodbye

You can believe what you like, but you're way off on a tangent, not addressing the directness and simplicity of the subject Jesus was speaking to. The context here in Matt 5:27-8 is not an esoteric discussion or subject nor requiring a likewise esoteric dissertation by the Lord. It's actually...

Not necessarily OK, but it's not adultery in your heart, because it's not adultery to begin with. This passage is dealing with adultery, not pursuing a woman to engage in fornication. Two different things. I'm only addressing the one that Jesus referred to in this passge and that is the subject...

What is "spiritual adultery"? Define it. Simply put, Jesus is talking about the actual, physical, act of committing adultery here and is simply saying that if you pursue a married woman with the intent of engaging in sexual intercourse with her, you've already committed the act of adultery in...
