david,

But if they truly came from the bible, I think he would be behaving differently.

The morality of our culture comes from our flesh nature or we would be living in paradise.

Some of it is based on interpretation of Scripture.

tigger,

I looked through a few verses of John 1 and the nominative form of a noun is always proceeded by a definite article that matches its gender and value. All I can say is that hypothetically it may be that a rule of Koine Greek is that a nominative noun is always preceded by an indefinite nominative article with the same gender and value.

david,

My problem with adding an indefinite is that it is not a Koine Greek concept. They did not see a need for it. For example when the islanders thought Paul was “a god” the Koine Greek would have said he was god. In short he has the characteristics of a god. Paul’s lack of objection shows us they did not believe he was a deity to be…[Read more]

David,

My point is that more violence that stats would show is around due to the fact that our medicine has steadily progressed.

I have anger problems and I manage them because the bible teaches me to do so. The law of the land helps though I am not sure if that is that help is necessary since I am already willing to learn. There is also…[Read more]

Ed,

Thank you for answering Nick’s question.

Nick,

Where it tells us he was “minded to put her away privily.”

David,

The violence has not declined in my neighborhood. Another young man was shot and murdered a week or two ago. I hope my neighborhood is outside the norm. Thankfully we have been medicine no so that many of those victims that would die now live. I read an early superman comic and the bad guy was a wife beater. That was his only crime.…[Read more]

Secularist again. They were not happy with the vote so they removed Morsi. They are no different than they were under Stalin or other rulers.

DavidL,

Does he make the claim that the idea that three persons in being in essence one individual is not a contradiction.

Nick,

Call it what you want as in this case it is the same thing.

Joseph believed she was guilty of having sex with another man and the angel assured him that was not the case.

Nick,

Ideas are too be tested.

In this case the angels words appear to reassure Joseph that his intended is not guilty as the Spirit of God, which is more powerful than her, has created a child within her by the power of God. He did this by alluding to the creation of ages. If that is correct then the angels words were well chosen and full of…[Read more]

DavidL,

My sound went out a while ago and it is just not important to me to get fixed. If you thing a video has something to say then say it in your own words. These videos are hearsay as I cannot cross examine the speaker and they are attempting to make a point that I find absurd.

They behave as brute beast which lack reason. Such humans…[Read more]

Nick,

It is just the literal meaning of English words.

In English it also has the implications that the Spirit is more powerful than Mary. That implication may have reassured Joseph that Mary was innocent of any wrong doing and it was literally an act of God.

That is the translators take which may not be correct as I have not looked as the…[Read more]

Gene,

I have an apple in my hand. What is the source of that apple? Is it not the tree?

Righteousness is the fruit of the Spirit just as the apple is the fruit of the apple tree.

The Spirit of God is therefore the source of true righteousness and those who learn to harvest the tree are righteous at at all times.

The only thing that is…[Read more]

DavidL,

The video gets things wrong on the page that is shown.

The words “I am” means I exist and not that I was not created.

The words “I am who I am” means several different things though I use it in relation to behavior but in context the most reasonable meaning is that God did not want to give Moses his name at that time. He did…[Read more]

t8,

Semiramis was an Assyrian queen and her husband’s name was not Nimrod. That story did not test out as true. Hinduism is an interesting take on the three Gods that are one God but the evidence shows that the Trinity theory evolved separately and was largely influenced by Rome. Egypt view of the Pharaohs seems to be the same view as the…[Read more]

Andrew,

All I know is that we are powerless to overcome all our sins until until we enter the new covenant and that we will be given the very thing that was kept from us after the fall. Something happened between the time we were denied eternal life to this time when we are given a way to obtain it. The word “maturity” is the best word I can…[Read more]

AndrewAD,

We gained the knowledge of how of to do both good and evil but not the ability to do only good as we were not yet mature enough to gain that ability.

Nick,

The Spirit was over the waters and so would have cast is shadow on the earth if it had a shadow and there was light. That is what it means in English.

Nick,

It is important only in that our hearts are being tested.
