Quote (dirtyknections @ Dec. 31 2010,23:26)Hi Terr,No need…I am not suggesting that Jesus was a sinner…I am suggesting that since you could possibly read that into the text..then maybe that is one of the reasons it was omitted from certain manuscripts…what do you think?Hi dk. As I have stated before in this website, I very much respect…[Read more]

Hi Adam. I agree with you're opinion on “free will”. Scripture says “God is operating all, in accord with His Will” (Eph. 1:11) Scripture also says in 1Tim.2:3-4 … for this is ideal and welcome in the sight of our Saviour, God, Who wills that all mankind be saved and come into a realization of the truth. God Bless, Jerry.

Hi Adam, thanks for your reply. I enjoy your input, you are always kind and never rude when replying as others sometimes are. When you disagree, you state your points very well and never try to insult, you are a pleasure to correspond with. When you say…Quote But the problem of our Bible is it contradicts itself by stating only few are…[Read more]

How to be saved? No, we cannot save ourselves by our own efforts. It is God, and Him alone, through His son “Christ Jesus”, that saves us.Eph.2:10 …For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them.Eph.2:8 …For in grace, through faith, are you…[Read more]

While it was not the mission of Christ to condemn, yet, being the Light, He exposed the darkness. The priests and Pharisees were judged by their hatred of the Light.

An accurate “translation” (word for word), and not the various “interpetations” of the many 'versions' of scripture, is the true word of God.

The most accurate translation of scripture, a 'word for word' from the original Greek, IMO, is the “Concordant Version”, from which I copied…Eph.1:1-12.1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to all the saints who are also believers in Christ Jesus:2 Grace to you and peace from God, our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.3…[Read more]

kerwin. I'm getting tired of correcting your statements that rarely include scripture, you seem to have a understanding of scripture that makes little sense. I supppose we'll just have to agree to disagree, and I will take a break from debating with you because you really don't agree with scripture, and I'm getting tired of correcting your…[Read more]

kerwin.Quote What you state is not what is written. It is not even implied in scripture. That is why I warned you against dividing scripture. What part of what I said is not what is written, scripture please.

kerwin. What you don't seem to understand is that the 'Old Covenant” was with Israel and them only. The Nations never were under the 'Old Covenant”. We are all now under the 'Covenant of Grace', the Grace of God. The 'New Covenant' spoken of in the book of Hebrews, will be again with Isarael (the Hebrews), and them only. They, in the…[Read more]

kerwin. When reading any words, you must understand to whom it is written, and by who wrote it. You can't just apply all scripture as being to us. ALL scripture is FOR us, but not all scripture is ABOUT us. That is why you are so confused as to what scripture is saying. Jesus and Paul did NOT teach the same message, Jesus taught “the gospel…[Read more]

kerwin. Quote It is Romans 7:24 where Paul thanks God for saving him from his struggles with sin, the body of death. Paul states the body of death because the wages of sin is death.Ro.7:24 …A wretched man am I! What will rescue me out of this body of death? Grace!Yes, rescued by whom?
