That statement in bold reminds me of something from the JW's Bible (The "New World Translation", that is, in John 1:1), by which I mean it sounds a bit polytheistic. However, God told us things like this, Isaiah 43 10 “You are My witnesses,” declares the LORD...

Hello yet again CorrectiveLens, let's talk about the Father for a second in regard to all of this. You believe that He (the Father) is both omniscient and omnipotent, yes? IOW, there is nothing that He does not know, and nothing that He cannot do, yes? Assuming that your answers to my last two...

Hello again CorrectiveLens, that’s not what I said, exactly (take note of the same words below, particularly the two in bold).

Hello CorrectiveLens, actually, He chose to "empty Himself" or set aside part of His Divine attributes for our sakes (which clearly included His omniscience) when He walked among us as a man .. e.g. Philippians 2:5-8. So, there were some things that He didn't know "then", but this was not true...

Hello again Mem, I liked what you had to say in your original post, even though, as I said, I wasn't sure that I could agree with you about all of it. Proverbs is a VERY interesting Book, isn't it, with a large amount of wisdom that is useful for all of us to know (and practical for us to live...

Hi Mem, I'm not sure that I can agree with you here (about all of it anyway) :unsure: First off, it seems to me that v3 (see below) is meant to be included in this passage (v3-5), and since it tells us how a fool should be answered by us, I think that answering him/her 'properly' is what this...

Yeah, gravity is a wonderment to be sure (if only we knew what causes it :unsure: .. Colossians 1:17 perhaps?). I know that a wet basketball can be dried off by spinning it. The Earth is spinning at an incredibly faster speed than my basketball does, and yet, we're all still here. Why? :geek...

Hey George (@George71), I think that John MacArthur gets to the heart of the matter (what Solomon was actually trying to say to us, that is), and I like what he has to say, so I'll quote his commentary for you here. Proverbs 26:4-5 answer a fool: Taken together, these verses teach the...

Hello Walter, along with what you pointed out, what is said in the following verse (Genesis 1:27) makes it clear that we were created in the image of God, alone. Genesis 1 26 God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of...

Still praying. Any additional news about or prayer requests for Elsie, @Oncefallen? Thanks!

Hello Lamar, how can we know/prove that a supernatural manifestation of some kind is truly the work of the Holy Spirit, or not :unsure: For instance, how can we be sure that when we hear someone speaking in tongues (whether they are spoken without interpretation, or even with an 'unprovable'...

Hello Crazyjmill, I will join with most of the rest above by telling you that this is not a good idea, especially for one so young in the faith. Becoming a believer is easy, but the Christian faith, beyond Christianity 101 (IOW, beyond the Gospel message itself) can be quite complicated, so we...

Howdy @RestlessWanderer, and welcome to CCHat! I'm glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :) As for theological discussions (to join in on or to start), you will find them principally on this board: Bible Discussion Forum - Christian Chat Rooms & Forums May God bless you...

I read somewhere that P52 dates back to 125 AD or earlier, and that it was discovered in upper Egypt. This means that the Gospel of John had been copied and was being read far beyond the borders of Israel by the beginning of the 2nd Century :)

Hello @Zenun, and welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us & joined in the discussions with us :) God bless you too!! (Numbers 6:24-26) ~Deuteronomy

I agree with your assessment, brother (@p_rehbein). In fact, here's another soteriological example from John and Romans to add to the comparison, verses that seem to (basically) be saying the same things about salvation (albeit, with slightly different wordings). John 5 24 “He who...

Praying for you Carrie (@DancingLamb)..........................

Hello again @jamaeyah, I got to thinking about all that's involved with guarding our hearts, including all of the ways that God is involved with us/helping us, both directly and indirectly. One of my favorite verses came to mind about this (there are many, many more, of course). It's amazing, is...

In case you've never heard it @jamaeyah, here's Steve Green's, "Guard Your Heart". Enjoy :) ~Deuteronomy p.s. - and finally, I thought that you might like this quote too (from Pastor Mark Driscoll).
