    Jesus used logic and reason alone to refute erroneous beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... 70 out of 82 times. No scriptures or scriptural situations at all needed to confirm beliefs were incorrect. Basically, "If every single ramification of a belief, response, ... does not make complete sense...

    Jesus' Methodology for verifying beliefs, responses, doctrines, ... are "Incorrect"

    Just an observation: 1.) 70 out of 82 times Jesus states erroneous beliefs, responses, actions, teachings, … can be3 proven to be wrong simply by logic and reason: Considering all the ramifications of a belief, or belief set, and seeing if every one of them makes complete sense. No scriptures...

    1Ti 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge

    I don't have a problem with being wrong. With 10,000 non-Christian and 45,000 different Christian belief groups, odds are I am. But this is what I see: 1.) God desires every human being to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. 1Ti. 2:3-4 2.) Because of God’s desires, 1Ti. 2:3-4 God...

    Judging Salvation by "Faith" or "Fruits"

    Does faith alone save? Yes. Is faith without works/fruits stillborn, i.e. a birth that produces no life? Yes. According to Mat. 7, almost all professing “Christians” aren’t Christians. Jesus NEVER knew them. The vast masses, headed for destruction, the “Many” who will never see life vss. 13-14...

    Understanding God’s election

    I have a question. Could God "choose" to save everyone "If" He so "chose" to do so?

    logic and Reason Alone Can Prove Beliefs Inaccurate

    Ok. So, you agree with those Jesus corrected that logic and reason is no indicator at all of correct beliefs and that Jesus should have been dismissed without a hearing. There are 45,000 different belief groups out there within the group labeled "Christian", and in Mat. 7 Jesus says almost all...

    logic and Reason Alone Can Prove Beliefs Inaccurate

    The problem isn't that faith is illogical. The problem is that "most people's" faith is illogical. As Jesus pointed out in the 50 places where He claimed people's beliefs were off from truth, the reason they are incorrect is because they hold to beliefs that do not make sense when all the...

    logic and Reason Alone Can Prove Beliefs Inaccurate

    Interesting. Many validate, and identify, with all the people who refused to consider Jesus' words. Sending sound over wire... ludicrous. Over the airwaves? You are a loon. Flying? Of course you are nuts. Logic and reason state that everything seems impossible till those who fail to see how...

    logic and Reason Alone Can Prove Beliefs Inaccurate

    The Pharisees got it right. Only God can forgive sins. Jesus didn't argue the point because they were correct. That's a part of the point. If they reasoned ... but what if He is claiming to be God ... which they did later on. And then they accused Him of blasphemy ... because He claimed to be...

    Loss of salvation???

    Actually, there are only two groups of people. Those with the ongoing "Fruits". or habit and way of life actions, attitudes, responses that prove them to be true Christians, and those with the "Fruits". or habit and way of life actions, attitudes, responses that prove them to be still lost and...

    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    Part 2 So, missing this "particular" "day of the Lord would mean you did not have the Holy Spirit in the first place. And yes, according to Mat. 7, almost all those who believe Jesus is their Lord, God and Savior, are going to miss it. But then that would mean you are still lost and...

    Matthew 24:40 Is the rapture secret?

    Part 1 Rapturo and Harpodzoe have the same meaning. The first is Greek, and the second Latin. But come on now. Who wouldn't want to be "Raptured". To be "Harpodzoed" sounds like something that happens to an unfortunate whale meeting up with a bunch of whalers. Just saying. LOL I haven't heard...

    Age of Accountability

    Hmmm. Interesting question. Joh 9:21 but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself." 22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be...

    logic and Reason Alone Can Prove Beliefs Inaccurate

    Who knew? I didn't. There are about 50 places I could find where Jesus refuted incorrect beliefs, practices, doctrines, ... and from what I can see, Jesus expects true Christians to evaluate every belief based on whether or not the belief makes complete logical, reasonable rational sense IN...

    Baptism with the Holy Spirit and eternal salvation

    If you do not have the Holy Spirit, according to Romans, you aren't a Christian. The Holy Spirit is given as a pledge of our future inheritance at the moment of salvation. No Holy Spirit = not a Christian.

    Mosaic Law

    The 10 commandments, the original ones were carved out of stone with the very finger of God. The law, the Pentateuch, the 5 books were delivered by God to Moses. Moses, and those God said for him to delegate authority to, were to judge between others based on that "Law". The law was delivered by...

    Do sinners (people who still sin) see their sin in others?

    Context, context, context ... the Context is, before you judge anyone else BY THE STANDARD I AM ABOUT TO COMMAND YOU TO JUDGE EVERYONE ELSE BY, judge yourselves and make sure you do not fall short. Mat. 1-5 covers that warning. Vs. 6 is Jesus command to judge others based on their responses to...

    Love and Grace vs Hardness of Heart

    People harden their own hearts to even hearing truth. Look at every belief group on the planet. Pick one, any one. Do they not have: 1.) tons of data to prove their views are correct. 2.) Tons of proof that all opposing beliefs are false. 3.) Tons of interpretations of the data in 1-2 above...
