Did you read my post? It is a quote from scripture Luke 16, during the parable the person Abraham is identified by name 5 times.Wm

bodhitharta,Quote Actually, You meant Lazarus was sent to Abraham's bosom not “Abraham” was sent to “Abram's Bosom”So I guess you didn't catch that for the second time but still Abraham was a friend of God before Jesus was sent. No I meant Abraham – 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man…[Read more]

Wrong, ridiculing it does not change what happened. I know you and many others do not believe that the parable given by Jesus was literal but I do, however you also do not believe hardly any of the new testament while I believe all of it (not necessarily the translation or traditional interpretation).

Quote So are you saying that a person could not repent without Jesus dying?who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ… God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto lifeHebrews 10:11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 1 John 3:5 But…[Read more]

bodhitharta,You have no understanding what the blood of Jesus did, it paid the price for all of mankind's sin through-out all ages. It allows us to be renewed onto repentance from selfishness, to a life built on the belief that a selfless life lived in obedience to the Father provides eternal life. If we are caught up in sin (as we all are at…[Read more]

Stu,My problem is where is the proof of it being caused by man, there has been spikes in the past why is this one “man made”.Wm

Quote If you fill a glass up with ice so that it is overflowing, and then heated the glass up (global warming) the ice would overflow down the side of the glass. David,Actually ice is expanded taking up more volume so if you heap ice in a glass and warm it you end up with a less than full glass. My opinion is that it is much more hype than facts…[Read more]

Quote Men have a theory and they look for whatever will fit the evidence. In a word of many things, there will be evidence for any theory if you try hard enough.It seems more often the evidence is “cherry picked” to fit theories, of course evolutionists are quick to point at creationist as bending the facts to fit our beliefs, which is true at…[Read more]

Hebrews 4:15For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Our Lord understands.

While I believe it to be Wednesday, Thursday is also possible, but no way can it be Friday, each day has scriptures that must be explained (something I do not like to do but it is necessary at times) for me Wednesday has the least. But, whatever day of the week it was, the one thing I believe strongly is that Jesus died at the very time that the…[Read more]

Martin,I believe I understood what you were saying and it was not how Irene took it, I pray that you have a speedy recovery.Wm

This had Jesus dead at the 3 days and 3 nights just as He…[Read more]

Remember Paul was given truth directly by God, and if He showed up and gave me truth I would be just as certain. But even Paul offered his opinon in 1 Corinthians 7 and he made it clear that it was from him not God. My opinion – Wm

While I hold most of my beliefs as subject to change I do not hold my relationship with the Father with that same uncertainty, He, as represented by His Son, is Truth, and love will never fail. We are saved by our relationship, both to God and to man (I expect a lot of flack for that statement). Love overcomes both sin, and errors in doctrine, it…[Read more]

Nick,I can only speak for myself (although I'm sure it applies to most), I want truth. I have no interest in putting together together my own set of “religious beliefs”.
