Hello @ByTheGraceOfGod, the simplest answer to your question is "free will" (because if what we want to do is sinful, but God always stops us from doing so, then our wills would not be free). An interesting aside to this is that, in Heaven, our wills will continue to be free, just like God, but...

Hey Magenta, thank you for the update. The requirements that you just mentioned above are different from the ones that were in place when I joined a little over 5 years ago (and that was what I was basing my replies to Pamela on, IOW, old data, at least what I remembered anyway). Thank you for...

Hello @Pamela127, as I said in a reply to a different thread or post of yours, I believe that you'll need 5 "Likes" (which you already have :)(y)) and 25 "Posts" (at this moment you have 18) to start a private "Conversation" with another member. If you reply with a quick "OK" or Thanks" etc...

Hello Pamela (@Pamela127), I believe that you need 5 or more "Likes" and 25 or more "Posts" before you can initiate a PM/Private Message with another member (now called a "Conversation"). I believe that you've already gotten the "Likes" that you need, but it looks like you still need 7 more...

Hello Pamela, it looks like you understand how to reply to a post. Starting a new thread is similar, just pick a board that you'd like to start your new thread on, click on the big blue "Post Thread" button on the top right side of the page, add a title and then write the OP/Original Post...

Hello again Keris, thank you for telling us that (as short summaries of one's life go, that is one of the best that I've ever heard/read :giggle:(y)). I look forward to hearing more in the future. Also, if you have any prayer needs concerning your ministry to the Syrian refugees, or prayer...

Hello yet again @Keris, I usually listen to an online Christian teaching or two while I'm at the gym, and I did so again this evening. This particular one is the 10th in a 10-part teaching series by Dr. James Anderson called Exploring Islam, and message #10 is called "Sharing the Gospel with...

Hello again @Keris, I didn't notice which board we were on so I also thought that I should say, WECLOME TO CCHAT :giggle: God bless you!! ~David p.s. - BTW, I love Germany. What a BEAUTIFUL country :) 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and...

Hello @Keris, I don't have time to talk right now, but I thought that you might find this useful (as I have), especially since you mentioned witnessing to unsaved family members and friends. BTW, it's only $4 on Kindle right now :) The description is from Amazon, just FYI. Tactics, 10th...

Hello again Jacob, what is it that you believe in then, in specific regard to the Son and the Holy Spirit? Who do you believe that they are/what kind of beings or Beings are they (both individually, as well as in relation to the Father) :unsure: Here, for instance, are all Three Persons/Members...

What did you mean then :unsure: Please elaborate (as time allows). Thanks :)

The NASB (my go-to translation, as well) doesn't translate "Theotes" as such, but a number of other translations do. For instance (in the verse that you have just been referring to above), Colossians 2 (NKJV) (+KJV; ASV; Amplified; CSB; HCSB; Douay-Rheims; ERV; LSV; YLT, etc.) 9 In Him dwells...

Both "Elohiym"/God and "Theotes"/Godhead are used in the Scriptures, so I see no reason to use the word "Elohiym" instead of/as a replacement for the word "Godhead" (unless I am misunderstanding what you are asking me, that is :unsure:). If so, please let me know. Thanks :) --David

Hello again Jacob, that is true :) Here's another, somewhat "off the beaten path" passage that, in a very real sense, "shows" us who the Lord Jesus actually is, a fact that is confirmed for us by the Apostle in John 12 (specifically, John 12:41). Isaiah 6 1 In the year of King...

Hello Jacob, as far as your purpose in this thread to establish the Trinity (or not), no, these various titles all point to the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ (even His title, the "Son of God", does, as well, as the Pharisees and the Scribes make clear for us .. e.g. John 10:32-33). Yes...

And you too Jacob :) If you don't mind me asking, what do you mean by "sanctified" in this case (like most words, sanctified has more than one meaning, even in the Bible). Thanks! I ask because having a mutual understanding of the terminology that we're using is (obviously) extremely important...
