Sargento If this is true, can you tell me how Enoch, Elijah, and Moses could go to heaven, yet Jesus did not die till centuries later? There is a principle the Bible declares that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord; meaning, the souls of those who died in Christ whether...

Sanhedrin I say this kindly, but it seems you do not have any understanding of Scripture. Many Christians read the Bible very, very casually. They read it like it is an ordinary book and critic it as such. I suggest you read again the scripture texts that I've offered carefully, and if you...

1. Jeremiah 36:1-4 1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee against Israel, and against...

Kaotic I'll let you in on a little secret: The Bible in its entirety is the Word of God. The Bible is its own interpreter. The Bible defines its own terms The Bible is its own dictionary. I know of Strong's and Young's Literal Concordances, but who is Vines? The concordances are a help but...

After God had finished creating the world and man, He said it was very good (perfect). God gave Adam the Spirit of Jesus that as long as he was obedient, he will live forever. Then the test came and the rest is history. Not only did Adam lose fellowship with God, the Spirit of Jesus (which is...

I've heard of Calvin but I don't know anything about what he taught. I merely stated that if Calvin (or anyone else, for that matter) and I agree on some truths it is only because we read the same Bible and come up with the same conclusions. If anyone would like to put a label on me then you...

Kaotic Again I reiterate If an apostle means = one who is sent and... A prophet = is one who declares the word of God Then these two offices have not ended. If they did end (by whose authority), what then is the purpose to send out missionaries into the world? What...

Williemac Why label others if they have a different view of Scripture from yourself? If Calvin and I happen to agree on some truths of the Bible it is only because we read the same Bible and came up with the same conclusions. We are commanded to be like minded with Christ, after all. If you...

This is what Ancient Israel tried to do by keeping the law and they could not enter into the promised land because of unbelief. Williemac No need to thank me. Thank God that He opened your spiritual eyes to this truth. I merely supplied the scripture texts God already taught concerning...

Kaotic This is a rebuttal to your post #67 You have not said my definitions of prophets and apostles were incorrect so I must assume we are in agreement. Jesus is the Prophet and the Apostle.. Since we are “in Him” then by definition we too are prophets and apostles. Joe 2:28 And it shall...

IBEME Good works is not the cause for salvation rather it is the result of salvation. “To accept Jesus,” “to confess Jesus,” “to believe in Jesus,” and “to have faith in Jesus,” are all works we perform before salvation therefore contrary to Eph. 2:9 Remembering without ceasing your work of...

After God created the world and man He said it was very good (perfect). Then sin entered the world and the whole creation became subject to thorns and thistles, judgments and curses. Whereas the eating animals were herbivorous have now become carnivorous. The earth also became subject to...

Sargento The central message of the Bible is salvation through Jesus or the “good news.” I thought you and I were in the same page or in one mind with one accord as Jesus wanted us to be. But apparently you do not yet understand the gist of Revelation 13:8. Don't misunderstand me. Having a...

Sargento I agree that the heart in Jeremiah 17: 9 no longer exists in the born again child of God, and I'm very familiar with Ezekiel 36::24-27 that God is the prime mover and not man. What I was saying is many denominations today teach anyone can be saved by just claiming Romans 10: 9-10, and...

This Vale Of Tears You said, “The Bible being all true doesn't mean it contains all truth.” You believe this because you have no idea that God wrote the Bible. Each letter and each word in the original manuscripts were dictated by God to human authors. I challenge you to refute the following...

This Vale of Tears I too will not have a common ground to have a fruitful discussion with anyone who is a hypocrite, who pretends to share the same beliefs with other Protestants, that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired word of God. While at the same time advocates to the concept he should not...

Are There Still Prophets and Apostles? Yes!!! I too believe the disagreements in this thread is about definitions. The definition of an apostle is “one that is sent.” The definition of a prophet (not mentioned in this thread) is “one who declares the Word of God.” In the sense of the above...

Ephesians 2:8-9 I'm afraid you still have not grasped the meaning of the verses mentioned. Eph. 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith.” Answer: It is by the grace of God that we can become saved. And, since Jesus is the very essence of faith (because He is the Faithful...

IBEME I surely know about good works, but apparently you don't. Are you speaking of works before or after salvation? Or, do you know the difference? You don't seem to understand the relationship between Eph. 2:8 and Eph. 2:9. Can you refute the interpretations I've offered? After all, the...

Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Is accepting, believing, and having faith in Jesus are works that we perform? Yes!!! The word 'believe' is a verb of the noun 'faith.' Many...
