@t8,

From what this states she was a devout Muslim who was falsely accused of a crime because she caught someone in authority violating the Koran. Christians and Jews used to do that as well. They probably still do as evil many humans will always seek to look righteous in the eyes of other while doing their evil deeds.

Farkhunda had previously…

@t8,

This thread assume that Islam is one united group when in truth it, just like Christianity, is a kingdom divided against itself. ISIL is just as much a threat against Muslims as it is against anyone else. I doubt even its members hold to one doctrine, though many of them are violent humans.

Nick,

I do not use my own concepts. Instead I use my own words. God is portrayed as a person in Scripture because he is shown as being sentient. If anything his sentience is greater than either humanities or the angels.

I am using sentient to mean self aware and sapient. The words are common in my circle as I read a lot of science fiction.…[Read more]

Danny,

Nick is attempted be legalistic in insisting that the letter of the Law is holy. I instead say it is the message of Scripture that is holy.

Thank you for the support.

Nick,

I seek to clear up confusion but only those that seek to hear and see will come to understand.

It is said that if you cannot voice an idea in your own words then your own word then you do understand it.

The title Son of God means different things to different people and yet I know of only know of two related but different meanings in…[Read more]

Nick,

Do you consider the meaning of your words before you write them down?

I say that because you just implied God is a dumb beast.

God is sentient, a dumb beast, or a vegetable.

When you deny he is sentient then you imply he is either a dumb or a vegetable and I give you credit for not thinking he is without thought.

Acting like a child…[Read more]

t8,

I said:
a) “Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day”or
b) “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day”

Both speak of a day in Abraham’s future so clearly Jesus is not claiming his day is before Abraham’s.

Are you suggesting that Jesus came from the future then travelled to the past?

The point here is, how did Jesus know…

Nick,

The word person is not a theologian tool. Those that are without Knowles or false misuse the word just as they do Scripture.

I agree the word but it is the heart that employs it not the word that is flawed or pure.

Trinitarians use it but they spin a lot of nonsense to explain their teach, which is an broken doctrine.

They claim that…[Read more]

t8,

Jesus was not Lord of all things in heaven and on earth until he was resurrected from the dead so he could not literally be Christ, as in king, until that time. Still Scripture states that when he entered the world God instructed all of his angels to do him homage. That tells us he was the heir appointed to be king; even at that time.

Gene,

Then I must have misunderstood you.

@t8,

This is Spam as the first words are Russian for watch Deadpool.

Nick,

I have no idea what you are speaking about. I do know that what I said aligns with Scripture. I can explain how I arrived at it but I do not think that is truly necessary as you have more understanding of Scripture as your autonomous reflective response base a false teaching you were indoctrinated in reveals.

If you desire an…[Read more]

Miia.

Jesus was not making a command with his statement. He was instead stating a fact. A person that lives by the Spirit will act out of love and so not do the things that lead to divorce. A divorce becomes possible when one or both individuals choose to live according to the flesh. As Jesus did not mention any exceptions in either Mark or…[Read more]

Miia,

I do not see check the meaning of the word in the original language as being complicated.

Jesus intentionally made some of what he said complicated by speaking in parables. He then told his student adherents to strive hard to enter into the narrow gates.

Complications is not something to be feared but vain complications are to be…[Read more]

Gene,

You told Miia that a unmarried man that has sex with another man’s wife is not an adulturer but I am told by the BLB Lexicon that:

to commit adultery with, have unlawful intercourse with another’s wife

The translators are supposed to be experts at Koine Greek so they should consider both Scriptural and non-Scriptural sources to d…[Read more]

Miia,

As long as everything is true then love can be swapped for the word in John 1. The word that comes of of God’s mouth is a more generic concept than love is so John was making a broader relation between God and Jesus than just love.

Miaa,

Thank you for letting me know of your situation. I am glad you are not be tested in that way. Sorry about posting in the wrong topic.

Nick,

I am instructed not to answer a fool according to his foolishness but instead answer him according to the wisdom of God. I do not know if I am qualified and I have answered you on this issue already.

Gene,

I do not know what happened but the above post got switched from the What did Jesus actually say thread to this one then my connection to heaven.net went out. Sorry for the mix-up.

Gene,

Those that walk according to the Spirit will not get a divorce because there would be no reason for a divorce. The exception would be if God commanded them to divorce but I would doubt the used that reason was being honest.

A divorce requires at least one of the couple to walk according to the flesh. I do not read where Jesus commanded…[Read more]
