Gene,

What passage teaches us that there is no free will?

Carmel,

Ask t8.

T,

N AND K

NO HUMAN FATHER FOR ONE;

AND ALL THE SCRIPTURES WHERE YOU CLAIM THAT JESUS LIED WHEN HE SAYS THAT HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN ,

I CANNOT HELP YOU IF YOU PLAY THE UNBELIEVER CARD

Technically identical female twins have no human father as they are formed by the fission of the parent organism and not by fusion of a male and female…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi T and KW,

Did he have special advantages over his human fellows?

If so why did he say we would do greater things than he did?

He had more knowledge than I do which he demonstrated to the world when her was but 12 years old.
He was also given the power to perform miracles that I have not been given the power to do.
His faith was…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

The sign of Jonah and the words of David quoted by Peter in Acts 2 had to be fulfilled for Jesus.

But some now living will never die and need to be raised from the dead.

Jesus was raised from the dead in an incorruptible body or the third day.
Some of the living will have their body change from mortal to immortal at the time…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

1 Cor 15 and 1 Thess 4 show the sequence for us.

But you say we will be different to our Master?

I am saying you do not believe that Jesus was resurrected like those that believe will be resurrected when he comes again because you believe he was raised in his mortal body and only changed later and in 1 Corinthians 15:42 we…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

We too will be raised from the dead but clothed for our ascent as we follow him.

You are telling me Jesus was not raised as those of the final resurrection but was instead raised as Lazarus or the boy Elisha raised. That is inconsistent to what what Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15.

T,

Scripture state Jesus is a human being. It does not literally state anything else. Some interpret certain Scripture to support their claim he existed and was not a human being before he was conceived and/or after he died.

Scripture does not say he was ordinary. It essentially calls him the first among equals. He was at the least tempted…[Read more]

T,

I take neither side of the argument as both are true. God made us and that includes our will. Our will is free even though he made us. God chose the time and place where I was conceived but that choice was also made by my parents and God choice was to allow them that freedom and then to form me withing my mother.

Nick,

If you are speaking of Genesis 6:6 and related passage that uses the meaning 2a, “to feel regret or contrition “, from Merriam-Webster Online dictionary. It still made amends by basically starting over.

Nick,

The resurrection of Jesus to fulfill the scriptural promises is not a foretaste of ours.

He was taken up and that is how we will follow him. changed, to meet him in the air.

You might want to rethink your position as you may not be aware that it is written:

1 Corinthians 15:12-14American Standard Version (ASV)

12 Now if Christ is…

Nick,

Was Thomas invited to put his fingers and hand in MARKS?

Jesus does not say anything about prints or marks but Thomas does.

John 20:25Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put…

Nick,

Flesh and bone.

Everything now seen is passing away.

The new creation is not of the mud of the earth

Does that include the souls of believers?

If there is any exception then it is clear that the word everything is not all inclusive.

In addition I cannot find where Scripture actually states everything is passing away. Could you…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

Flesh and blood were created in the kingdom??

Which kingdom and why should this relate?

Flesh and bone was created in the kingdom of God. It relates as flesh and bone is clearly a thing of the kingdom of God or Eve would not of been flesh of Adam’s flesh and bone of Adam’s bone, Genesis 2:23.

Carmel,

Post in the text window and see if that gets rid of the internet codes. You do that by selecting the text tab that is next to the visual one on the left top side of the post you are making.

Also always include a link so you do not take credit for someone else words.

T,

EXTREME EXAMPLE ;YOU USE A GUN ON MY TEMPLE AND TELL ME TO GIVE YOU ALL MY MONEY AND CAR KEYS ;

I am not sure who this example but it is still and exercise of free will even though the cost of some choices may make some choices unpleasant.

An example of lack of free will is that I instruct my computer to add 2 and 2. My computer can…[Read more]

Ed J,

In Matthew 20:1-16 Jesus states he is speaking of the kingdom of heaven. See verse 1.

In Matthew 22:1-14 he also states he is speaking of the kingdom of heaven. See verse 1.

Wakeup,

You say:

No human have ever seen him as He really is.

1 John 3:2 states:

***FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS***

These statements mean two different things.

Nick,

Do you believe his resurrection was an example of the final resurrection?

Nick,

The fact was that he was raised in his damaged earthly body.

That is what you say and a few translators agree. Most do not say that the body of Jesus had wounds. They instead say marks.
