Danny Dabbs,

Example I am human, so my son is human.

This premise is true but your reasoning is not valid sin the words “Son” and “Father” have various meanings based on the context. Your reasoning assumes that Jesus is God’s son as of the body.

In reality a non-human could be the son or father of a human if they have the same spirit.…[Read more]

Ed,

The beauty of the king is testified in Scripture but the land is to far away for me to see.

May it be that I come to know both.

Miaa,

Chances are the migrants and definitely the Pope are not brothers of Christ, beyond being human.

Blessed are those that make peace between man and God for they will be called the children of God but woe are those that make peace between humanity and humanity for they make peace with evil.

None of this means we should not show mercy to…[Read more]

Miia,

I do not really know as I did not think he would get this far. As it is I will probably vote for him in the general election as I find his opponent to be a supporter of murder. Even then it is choice of one natural human vs another.

t8,

I cannot say whether it is or not since there is competing passages of Scripture. I favor the idea that for an age and age there is suffering in Gehenna but at the end of that the wicked are destroyed. Each of the age’s is an indeterminate amount of time. It is a Jewish belief that is supported by the relevant passages.

In any case God…[Read more]

t8,

What is the point you gleaned from the video?

Nick,

I missed the word “all” which is why I essentially repeated your message.

Nick,

There is plenty of paranoia in the United States for both him and his opponents to play on. He also stirs up drama that attracts a nation of gawkers. That is the way of politicians though he has taken it to what appears to be a new level.

Miia,

Donald Trump is a showman playing to his audience but so are his opponents. Some of what he says is bombastic but vague and his foes interpret it in ways that make him look bad but in doing so it a testimony of themselves. I am not even sure he means anything but just tosses it out because of that effect and also because it makes him look…[Read more]

Ed,

The Kingdom of God is a reality, not some future religious fantasy.

Then show me it for I do not see it.

Jesus states “you will know them by their fruit” and the best fruit I see still has rot in the inside though it appear healthy on the outside.

This is what makes me believe the church is still in hiding.

Nick,

I agree!

Ed,

I have heard the matter many times and it is always foolishness. Why waist my time. To such controversies Jesus states “repent or you too will perish.” I prefer his words to those of an unbeliever.

Ed,

Chances are the man speaks untruths just like those according to the flesh often do. Do not worry about the world or the things of the world because that way leads to destruction.

Nick,

I am still not seeing where you are disagreeing with me.

Nick,

To cloth yourself in Jesus is to be righteous as he is righteous. So where does disagree with what I wrote?

John states much the message that I do with these words though it is not the passage I was thinking of.

1 John 3:7New International Version (NIV)

7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right…

The claim that Islam teaches convert to Islam or die is not true in every case. There are individuals and groups that practice it that way but the same is true of Christians in the past.

Instead Islam considers Christians and Jews people of the book and treats them as second class citizens. In addition is seems to preach against them…[Read more]

t8,

You second sound good to my ears.

t8,

I think that flesh is associated with sin because the flesh nature is a fallen nature. Was Adam was made of flesh before he sinned.

Flesh is associated with the bestial nature in Koine Greek and that translates into the meaning of bestial in English. That still may be the fallen nature.

Adam was flesh and bone as he stated Eve was…[Read more]

@t8,

But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

Sin which dwells in me is also known as flesh and the one who live by it is the old self. Those who don’t have the Spirit are slaves to the flesh and can only struggle…[Read more]

T8,

What about the elect angels and Jesus. They never gave into temptation did they?

Their fruit testifies that they walk according to the Spirit and that is only possible by faith which is why it is written “the righteous live by faith”.

Remember Jesus told the one that called him intrinsically good that no one is good but God. No one…[Read more]
