That's what you believe, and that's your right. After all, the Bible shows that the Abrahamic God endowed all humans with the gift of free will. The first man, Adam, had free will. Look at what he did with it. There are consequences to misusing one's free will. Really? Then how is it you...

I clicked your weblink and it took me to a website being run by an individual named John Piper. Please explain how John Piper gets to redefine common English words so that they are given the exact opposite definition from what's stated by legitimate English dictionaries. For instance, John...

They're having this same discussion at another website. You might want to go take a look over there. https://www.usmessageboard.com/threads/christendoms-trinity-where-did-it-come-from.1152591/ If you decide to post there, use the same screen name so that I can take a look and see what...

Who are you quoting, DavidLamb? Please provide the weblink to your source. I need to know who is defining word begotten as "not made" when any common English dictionary says the exact opposite.

DavidLamb: I'm looking at the part of the context that you quoted, and it leads me straight to the word begotten. I've always wondered why God's inspired Bible used that specific word in light of how the dictionary defines that particular word. Can you help me out on that?

Actually, BonnieClaire, the word god is a title. Lower case "god" doesn't always refer to false gods. The title god is also used for angels in the Bible. Berean Standard Bible -- Psalm 82:1 "A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods: The...

Gideon300: You are grasping at straws. Scripture makes it clear that the Jews, as a people, have been rejected by the Almighty. They, as a people, have a long, sordid history of disobeying Jehovah and destroying prophets sent to them. Jesus Christ, the Son of Jehovah, said the following...

studier: The scripture at Matthew 5:35 says nothing of the kind. You're listing the wrong scripture. In any event, if Jehovah's love were unconditional, it would not have required repentance. Berean Standard Bible -- Acts 17:30 "Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now...

Leastofall: According to scripture, they, as a people, rejected Jesus as the Messiah. In fact, when Pilate told the crowd that they had the choice of setting either Jesus free or else set free Barabbas, a notorious criminal, notice below who the common people decided to save. Focus on the...

homwardbound: I asked for the verse(s) at Romans 9, which, according to you, provide proof that, to quote you: "this grace given to the Gentiles without Law or tradition to do, is to make the first chosen jealous...." Instead of directing me to the verses at Romans chapter 9, you instead went...

Gideon300: Please quote the scripture, along with the chapter number and the verse number. I'm not sure what you are referring to when you list the scriptures as you are doing above, because you are not differentiating the chapter from the verses by putting a colon between the chapter number...

As a rule, when the Bible uses the term "men," it's with reference to mankind in general/all of humanity (men and women).

I quote from a variety of Bible translations, studier. My quotation of Matthew 5:43-48 at Post 108 (which you insist is proof of God's "unconditional" love) is from the New World Translation. Below are the same verses from the King James Version with the same expressions bolded in red (as was...

Thank you for your pleasant words, homwardbound. I want you and everyone to know that when I post a rebuttal to something anyone says about scripture, it is not meant to be regarded as a contest. It's simply my attempt to help others to be corrected by scripture. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture...

I believe 1 Peter 4:8 is referring to love among humans, that we are able to overlook each other's flaws out of love for one another.
