Another analogy.. A mystic sees a road with heavy traffic.. so they think.. ok the cars dont really exist.. it's all in my mind.. even the road.. is not real.. Then they put their real body on the real road and.. Wham! Hit by the truth

It IS absolute truth.. inspired, unerring, infallible

Seems like a two bad words nowadays. Many people like to think of having or making your own truth.. that statement of 'what's true for you is true for you, but not for me' Like the illustration of the elephant that a bunch of people get blindfolded and then each touches the elephant. Each...

Okay.. well whatever is perfect in 1 Corinthians 13 was in part at the time of Paul's writing. The perfect thing.. completes the gifts of prophecy, tongues and knowledge. Now of course when Jesus returns these gifts are not needed.. but before Jesus returns.. these gifts had particular...

I believe in OSAS but also that people can fall.. Not fall from eternal salvation but get caught up in the world. Hebrews 6.. they aren't falling from salvation.. they are not going on to maturity. They are having to go back to be taught elementary principles. They have fallen from growth...

Hebrews 6.. cant put Jesus back on the cross to renew repentance because He has already forgiven the saved person. Also context is about animal sacrifice in Hebrews so cant go back to old system of sacrifices either

1 Corinthians 13 .. whatever is in part is completed by whatever is perfect. Gifts of prophecy and tongues, knowledge, were in part.. Whatever is perfect.. completes these gifts. These gifts were used to spread Gods revelation. The canon is complete revelation. The gifts then put away...

Jesus is Son of God..in terms of 'image' 'expression' Fully God.. eternal.. co-equal with the Father and Holy Spirit as one being. Jesus is uncreated.. and was existing before being born into the world by the Holy Spirit thru Mary. Mark 14:61-62 is two verses among many showing Jesus...

Its recorded in history that before Catholicism there were independent Christian churches that soundly believed the bible. The puritans were among these. There are other names also given to different groups of Christians that were around from before Catholicism that remained faithful

Romans 5:8 God comendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.

The sin cycle is akin to.. commit sin, feel condemned, guilty for the sin.. and then go back to the sin behaviour to alleviate the bad feeling. For eg.. drugs and alcohol have the intoxicating feeling that people may go back to to alleviate feeling bad. The Christian way is akin to.. commit...

I've seen a bit of a trap where a pastor gives a mission report to sponsoring churches. Because they are paying part or all the pastors pay.. then the church winds up reporting on how many saved.. service attendance.. etc.. So the church may have programs for this and that to pull in people...

Remember that John also repeatedly says that whosoever believes in Jesus has eternal life. See John 5:24, 10:28 among other verses. So you see there is the different parts of Gods relationship to someone. At salvation He commits to us thru thick and thin by the in dwelling of the Holy Spirit...

There are also unconditional things about God. Eternal salvation is only conditional in receiving Christ as Saviour. But once received.. Gods love toward the believer is unconditional. He will discipline and rebuke but not leave. Yah so I also dont quite get the OP

Most people would die from the flogging before even getting to the cross. Then on the cross.. the effort to try and pull yourself up to breath.. that would lead to death by exhaustion. If not that.. then for Jesus ... the spear in the side made sure. If not that..then the wrap he was in in...

John 3:5.. the context is about the water at birth.. of the womb.

Yeah one being .. God in three persons/expressions. Co.. eternal Co.. equal Co..existing I've always had trouble with the term persons.. because that seems completely separate beings, but 'persons' doesn't have to mean seperate.

It's interesting if you look at an estimated age of 10,000 years for a young earth.. if you weren't comparing it to macro evolution with millions or billions of years.. 10,000 years isn't a short period of time. How much time does God need to do His creating?
