That’s a good point Gene,so maybe there’s more hope for sexual perverts than holy religious pharisees? Surely that can’t be the case can it? Weren’t Sodom and Gomorrah damned already anyway for their stubborn sexual perversions? Idk why Jesus would even make such a statement unless he really just despised the pharisees that much for disagreeing…[Read more]

.” Not every homosexual is handed over and I do not know why one is and another is not except to say it is part of his plan.”
So now you’re saying God is in control and sin is a part of his plan? How gracious of you to agree with your Bible! God bless you!

Ok but even those with the Spirit struggle and fail sometimes too Amen? do you recall ” oh please take not thy spirit from me” or something to that effect? saints sin too and you know it,unless you want to be one of those who say they were never”saved” to begin with. Whichever,it’s all just more religious wrangling.

I’m talking about it’s in their nature so of course they are naturally tempted and so most will go that way when the opportunity arises.
And no it’s not like St Hoghead or maybe you say that all are tempted by homosexuality.

“Homosexual behavior is a taught and learned behavior produced by explicit exposures at an early age, like many sin are.”
But in the case of homosexuality this is not always the case.It’s not always “learned or taught” at an early age. Many adults choose to become that way after experimenting/engaging in homo sex; some become bisexual and some go…[Read more]

Dear Nick,
I understand that you are such a spiritual man and trust only in the Spirit.So is the Spirit of Christ actually God? And Jesus was an animate vessel who was only actuated by God? If that be the case then why not call him God since the real Jesus or his inner being was actually God?
You seem to say Jesus was just a man as you or I,but…[Read more]

Some translations say “before Abraham was I was” and that is definitely the meaning based upon the Jews carnal question. So how is it that you try to “spiritualize”it to say something else? something that fits your carnal doctrines. Perhaps in your translation Jesus really said “I am going to breakfast”?

“Did you not know the Spirit spoke through the vessel Jesus?”
Sure I do but did the Spirit speak stupidity through Jesus? perhaps Jesus should’ve just said, see you guys later because “I am going to breakfast”

What was the Jews question to Jesus in Jn 8:57 you are not fifty years old and have you seen Abraham? it’s a simple carnal question. And how does Jesus answer it? in the negative or affirmative? vs58 “Truly,truly I say unto you before Abraham was I am” that seems quite in the affirmative to me and the Jews took it the same way and took up stones…[Read more]

So is the Holy Spirit really Jesus? Jesus said he’d come back to us by the Holy spirit yet that Spirit proceeds from the Father but comes in Jesus name yet as a He seems to be a separate being from the both of them.And this all from John’s gospel, so I can see from whence cometh trinity. But we don’t need it in that confusing fashion;maybe just…[Read more]

If we are born slaves to sin then how are our wills free? Even Arminians/most evangelicals and Catholics bemoan our natural sinfulness and even as born again we all still have to fight our old or original sinful nature.

Why does God “give people up” to homosexuality as Paul states He does? Does God just give up on some people? Could he not have rained grace on Sodom and Gomorrah to change them,instead of raining fire and brimstone to destroy them? perhaps His ways are just past finding out?

“In this case his education was a good thing as he passed down much scripture.” and what does his education have to do with it if it was really written by God or the holy Ghost himself? did he need a doctorate to “pass it down”?

Dr Luke wrote more of the NT than Paul? is that so? I haven’t personally counted the verses or looked it up on the internet but just can’t quite believe it yet.

Oh no I didn’t do that intentionally and even wondered why it came out that way. It must’ve been foreordained by the Father and perhaps even by the Son and Holy Ghost.

Sorry, no takers here. First, you affirm predestination, which is neither a rational teaching nor a biblical one. Secondly, you overlook biblical passages that speak of Christ as the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning creation and its ultimate culmination.
Also, I don’t have the time to look at material on youtube, which may or may not be sol…[Read more]

Hoghead,
“My point stands about pride and arrogance dominating the self-appointed false prophets who seek to vilify the Christian religion”
And why as a universalist should this make any real difference at all,being as we’re all saved? is it not all just semantics? or are you really trying to earn some real brownie points with the Trinity for…[Read more]
