    Hi DT,

    Have you yet figured out that winning arguments is not a priority?

    @Nick,

    You: “Thinkers, like yourself, have got to commit intellectual suicide”

    Me: So I am suppose to give up my skills of reasoning when it comes to understanding what is said in the NT, this characteristic that God implanted in me – which God also has because I am created in HIS image – and blindly follow the words of man?

    Hi DT,

    Thinkers, like yourself, have got to commit intellectual suicide, and simply accept what God teaches without analysis and criticism because it is the simple and childlike ones who find the truth by obedience.

    “ Thank you Father, for revealing to mere children what you have withheld from the wise and clever of this world.”

    It will not be easy.

    Hi DT,

    You need to listen to God and obey Him and  be reborn into His Son, Jesus Christ,  of water and the Spirit, to begin your new and useful life. Then everything else you need will be given to you.

    @Gene,

    The verse posted again for reference:

    Matt 10:23 “Whenever they persecute you in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.”

    You mention the House of Israel but not the House of Judah; this is the northern and southern kingdoms respectively. Yes…[Read more]

    @Nick,

    And you still can’t answer a question; your inability to answer what I have asked makes your silence deafening.

    All I have done is read words on a page and when the words don’t align, it creates questions. For you, it’s okay and you blindly accept them without question because someone told you it was “the spirit who wrote the scriptures…[Read more]

    Hi DT,

    There is hope because Paul was on a much feared murderous mission against the Body of Christ, convinced in his pharisaical zeal that he was serving God, when he was toppled from his high place becoming blind, then healed and anointed with wisdom and power. He became an amazing servant of God so why should we give up on you.

    Hi DT,

    You need assurance that God is not lying and the Son and those in him are also truthful witnesses?

    I believe and I believe in the Spirit Who wrote the scriptures through men. I expect to understand how it all fits together when the Son returns and gathers up his sheep.

    Trust in God is a huge stumbling block for you poor fellow and you…[Read more]

    @Nick,

    How was Jesus a descendant of David when Jesus’ daddy was the spirit? Same question I asked Carmel and received some spiritualized nonsense for a response. When the OT explicitly states the Messiah was to be of the seed (zera) of David; what say you?

    As one continues reading this Timothy passage, Paul states Jesus is risen from the dead…[Read more]

    Flat earthers say that the North Pole is at the center of the dome, and magnetic north is approximately there too. However, the question arises: where can we locate the South Pole? After all, you can’t have a magnetic north without a corresponding magnetic south (a concept familiar to most from our school days). So, the precise location of the…[Read more]

    Hi DT,

    So you claim God is your Father.

    And by reading the OT you found that you can be like the Ninevites and restore your own relationship with Him.

    So you do not claim that your relationship with Him is through Abraham or Moses but just Adam.

    You despise Jesus Christ and his brothers and reject the teachings they gave us. No intermediary…[Read more]

    Hi Desiretruth,

    In reference to post #944977, one word is all you need and that is “zera”; I have been over this word before and is a reference to descendants, one who is procreated, something produced after it’s own kind. This is the term used in the OT to reference who the Messiah will be, the seed of David.

    In other words in the linea…[Read more]

    The prevailing albeit not politically correct theory is that it escaped from the only level 4 virus lab in the country at the time. You then must think that it is simply a coincidence that Wuhan Institute of Virology happened to be the approximate location of the virus’ origin. That is a huge coincidence.
