Because we are human beings, with limited knowledge. I don't know what your "four different understandings of who the Lord Jesus is" are, but there are certain things about Him that are made clear in Scripture, including the fact that He is eternal, that He is fully God, and since His...

But Jesus did not say that everything He said was a parable. When raising Jairus's daughter, He said, "Little girl, I say to you, arise," was He telling her a parable? Of course not. He told her to arise, and she did. When He said to the disciples, "Launch out into the deep and let down your...

Once again, you go against God's written word, the Bible. No idea there that God is the only pastor or teacher. He equipped His churches with pastors and teachers: NKJV Eph 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, I would...

But as I have said, Revelation 2:17 does not say that God will give a white stone which has God's own name written on it. Rather, it says that He will give a white stone in which a new name is written. See above- the verse does not say "God's name." But I can name Him, because He Himself...

I agree. Revelation 2:17 doesn't mention God's name; it talks of God hiving him that overcomes a white stone with a new name written on it. No mention is made of God's own name in that verse: NKJV Rev 2:17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who...

You say you grew up as a pk. Just wondering what a pk is. "Pastor's kid" perhaps?

No I don't insist on using my own understanding when I read God's word. I rely on the Holy Spirit. It just is not correct to take everything in the Bible as a parable or dark saying. If you claim that it is, then even the verses such as those saying that Jesus spoke in parables or the verses...

They are not just "regarded as" names of God. God Himself said that they are. For example: NKJV Exo 3:14 And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.' " Exo 3:15 Moreover God said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to...

Is salvation not a blessing? Is repentance not part of being saved?

But that doesn't mean that the whole Bible consists of parables If it did, we would have to conclude that Jesus wasn't really born and laid in a manger, didn't literally shed His blood on the cross, and rise again three days later. We'd have to say that the accounts telling us these things are...

When the Scriptures contrast the Spirit with the letter, it is not a contrast between literal and symbolic, but the inner belief and obedience wrought by the Holy Spirit compared with mere outward observance of the Old Testament laws: NKJV Rom 7:4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become...

You seem to be claiming to know more about God that God Himself knows, because He said in His word, regard both "the Lord" and "I am", "That is My name."

That is not how the Bible defines a false prophet. Rather, this is what we read: NKJV Deu 18:21 And if you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?'— Deu 18:22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that...

You asked me to identify God. It is possible to identify somebody in other ways than by name. Somebody could identify me as "the man who lives in the bungalow halfway down Greenlands Avenue", or "the person who writes the biblical 'Thought for the Week' in our local weekly newspaper." When...

I have just provided some of His Biblical names, and another one, in the New Testament, is Abba (when referring to God the Father): NKJV Gal 4:6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!"

If you had made clear in the first place that you were asking for a name, I would have replied, as I just have in my previous post) that God is given many names in the Bible. I do know them. You seem to be suggesting that He is only given one name in the Bible. That just is not so.

No, if by ID you mean an identity document. When I am required to prove who I am, I have to produce some documentation such as a birth certificate or a utility bill. But it seems from this post that you are asking me to give God's name. Which one do you want? God reveals several names in the...

Yes, I agree with that. Of course Jesus Christ has what is known as a threefold office: Prophet, Priest and King. But the people of Nazareth tried to kill Jesus, not just stop Him being a prophet, but leave Him free to be Priest and King.

Sorry, I didn't mean to focus on it. I just wondered wehat the post meant.
