Nick,

Hi KW,

That is logic??

No just fact

Deriving one fact from other facts is logic.

Jesus was resurrected from the dead is the premise.
As long as at least one individual is raised from the dead there is a resurrection.
At least one individual, Jesus, was raised from the dead ergo there is a resurrection.

Nick,

That is logic??

No just fact

Logic is a form of reasoning used to reach a sound and valid conclusion based on the facts. It is a tool to test if a teaching is broken.

Scripture does not condemn it but you do. In doing so you condemn those sons of God that use it in Scripture. Instead of realizing your error when this is pointed…[Read more]

Nick,

Which you have no right to use to diminish scripture

You are the one accusing me of diminishing Scripture because you do not believe what I say.

Your opinion on reasoning and idiom are not from Scripture either but are response to your lack of belief.

You deny Eden was in the kingdom of God despite the fact their was “be no more death,…[Read more]

Nick,

I learn English from a English instructor though I have also learned some from reading the bible and other things. It is the knowledge that allows me to comprehend the meaning the English words that are written in Scripture. You put a bible written in a foreign language before me and I would not understand it. If you has a woman quote…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

Human reasoning is a weak tool used only in preaching to the unspiritual.

But old things are little use in the kingdom of truth

Paul uses reasoning to teach. An example of this is when he uses Jesus’ resurrection to prove there is a resurrection.

Nick,

So the idioms of English apply equally to the language used by Paul?

Our idioms are often influenced by the King James Version editions. In this case I have been told by experts that the the word flesh is used to mean non Spiritual and that a common idiom among the Jews was flesh and blood being used to mean the mortal body.

Nick,

Why do you say that, since when we use an idiom or other expression we seldom tell people what it is?

An idiom is just a type of expression.

Nick,

It is called the English language and you speak it and know the meanings. You just prefer to use one and exclude all others. Denial is not good. Simply state you do not believe the one I used is correct and why you do not. It is a more conductive conversation.

Nick,

There you go condemning Paul and others in Scripture that use reason again. Reasoning and the Spirit are not mutually exclusive.

Nick,

Now do as you say.

Nick,

You see by experience.

Nick,

Reason is only a tool. It is not a way. It can be used to understand the truth and to teach it to others. That is why Paul and Jesus to spread the truth.

Nick,

You saith.

Gene,

Did Jesus have a captive will when he stated not as I will but as you will?

Nick,

We do not know what we will be like but we will be like to him.

That is written but that is the illusion of the mind you have been given to believe.

What is written is “it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”, 1 John 3:2.

We now appear mortal…[Read more]

Nick,

Logic is not a sound foundation

And yet it is written that “Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures”, Acts 17:2(AV). Why do you accuse Paul of not having a sound foundation?

Nick,

That is just your unbelief speaking.

Nick,

I believe that creation will be freed from its bondage to corruption but you do not as you believe it will be replaced by a different creation.

Nick,

Jesus reasoned. To be perfect as God is perfect you must reason as Jesus reasoned.

Nick,

SDA theology was a thing of my youth. They taught me untruths and half truths as is common with the vast majority of those that claim to be Christians.

What I am learning and have learned comes because I desire to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. I do not believe that men must sin or even men will sin as such teaching…[Read more]
