Proclaimer replied to the topic Is God's love truly unconditional? in the forum Scriptural Teachings 2 years, 2 months ago
I can’t disagree with what you have wrote.
I think his love is unconditional, but legally, he is also just and there are requirements, legally speaking.
For example. You might have a son or daughter that you love with all your heart no matter what. But you are not going to give them a free pass on lying to others or killing someone.
Even if…[Read more]

DT,
Let each accusation you have against Paul have sound scriptural proof.
YOU: Who are we to love first? This statement is a false teaching, you can’t possibly know how to love your neighbor without loving God first. So it’s not one command as Paul says; there are two and there’s a reason why the first command of loving God is first. How are w…[Read more]

Hey there DT!
You believe Paul is a liar a deceiver and that he even boldly states that he is a thief…, whatever else you want to accuse him of, let each accusation have sound scriptural proof.
YOU:
I don’t recall ever reading such statements to other churches. The point was why did Paul unashamedly use the term “robbing” other church…[Read more]

I suppose we could go back and forth with our understanding on what these passages say/mean and will never come to an agreement; we view the NT differently. The change for me began with Paul saying according to scripture the messiah was to die for the sins of mankind and be buried and raised up on the third day. The statement “according t…[Read more]

Hi DT,
I couldn’t help but notice the conversation going on between you and Carmel involving the curse given to Jeconiah. I am going to post on the “Conception” thread to speak about this and hope that you will reply there.

Hey there DT!
YOU: You then site I John as proof to Paul’s understanding, except Paul was gallivanting all over eastern Rome would he have received this letter John wrote? Upon further investigation we find the letter to Galatians was written around AD 48 and it’s believed John wrote his letter around AD 95 -110. Unless we have another time tra…[Read more]

I have been to Mechon Mamre, but they use the JPS translation and am not really a fan of it as it reads very similar to the KJV. The positive with the JPS is they haven’t changed the tenses of verbs to make them appear to be referring to the future. Additionally, because I don’t know Hebrew, the site became pointless; so I found ano…[Read more]

Hi DT,
You: @Carmel,
Why would I go with an Aramaic translation when we have access to the Hebrew? You found an interesting translation;
how long did it take for you to find that butchering of God’s word?

Hi DT,
YOU: Are you claiming Paul wasn’t being paid? How was Paul able to travel all over the eastern Roman Empire, unless he received financial support.

I will allow you to continue beating that dead “law” horse; if you can’t comprehend the words written in front of you, that’s a personal problem and you will remain lost in your own ignorance. I will not allow you to drag me into your pit.

Hi DT,
You: Nothing in what you wrote supported why Jechoniah should be in the lineage of Jesus,
