They actually are. We concretely know God by hearing his voice and being persuaded by and trusting his words, which is faith. I think what you're referring to is mere mental belief and the act of knowing (gnosis). Faith will save us, but mere mental belief and gnosis won't. The tone of your...

I did and he tells me that when someone claims to have special knowledge about something, but can't or refuses to explain it simply, then either they really don't know what they're talking about, or something inside of them really doesn't what to expose what their real agenda is.

There's nothing simpler than God has commanded eternal life through his son and the whole law is fulfilled in 'Treat others like you want to be treated'

No they don't. Commandment means command. They have different spellings due to the peculiarities of how language develops

Actually, I don't think the difference is sublime or spiritual at all. We don't use the word commandment these days, so it sounds religious to us because the only place we really read it is in the bible. We use the word command for verbal orders and law, rule, regulation, etc for written ones...

No hierarchy exists in the kingdom of God that places a man above a woman, except in the marriage relationship because the two are one body. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither...

lol is this your way of making a confession?

FWIW the Greek word for woman is the same word for wife. A wife (body) is obviously subject to her husband (head), but no unmarried woman is under a man IMO, except perhaps her father

Zealously rightly dividing the word isn't sin. It helps us to divide between the longings of the soul and the longings of the spirit, so that we can walk a straight path For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of...

Chicks originate from embryos that are created when a roo fertilizes a hen. Unlike humans an egg is a self-contained system with all necessary nourishment contained within itself that merely needs to be kept warm and turned to enable the embryo to develop into a chick. So chicks come out of...

A distinction without a difference. The same word entole is used throughout the NT to refer to commandment/command. They mean the same thing commandment /kə-mănd′mənt/ noun A command

Ministry of death and condemnation. You're supposed to support and encourage those weak in the faith, not lay guilt trips and veiled condemnation on them

I'm all for Christians not working on Saturdays if that's what makes them feel good. Even if they believe God wants them to. That's a measure of their faith. Have it to thyself before God and be blessed

It's not a minor issue. It precipitated a major council of the Jerusalem church that involved the very top leaders to resolve the issue, ie, were gentiles required to keep the law of Moses in order to be saved. The judgment was no, yet we have people today who refuse to hear and abide by their...

Sounds like you're weary of Christians who take to themselves the lord's name in vain

If it was simply a matter of personal preference it wouldn't be an issue. Casting a stumbling block of condemnation in front of weak brothers/sisters with dire warnings for not exalting Saturdays via a wicked twisting of scripture is another matter altogether and needs to be confronted. There...

She probably dissolved in a rain storm or locals ate her.

Days of the week are irrelevant. Passover foreshadowed the death of the lamb of god, whereas Easter commemorates his resurrection. One points to our justification, the other points to everlasting life in Christ. Both glorify God

It says plainly in the previous verse that God commanded Moses to write the previously spoken words on which the covenant was established. Moses wrote them, not God And the LORD said to Moses, Write to yourself these words, for upon these words I have established to you a covenant, and to...
