You keep saying the same thing. I know that the historical accounts of events recorded in the Bible are not merely stories. (I never use the term "Bible stories" for that reason). They are true, and they really happened. You say they also carry a spiritual message. Perhaps you missed what...

Yes, two more were. Matthias, and Saul/Paul.

As I have said before, when I question things like whether God is commanding you to build and ark, I am certainly not saying that there are no spiritual lessons for Christians from the account of Noah and the ark. He built a literal ark, because God commanded him to do so. Noah is an example...

Thanks, and sorry I misunderstood your post!

Yes, but what was the context? Was He speaking against His followers praying together? No, He was speaking against people who did their personal praying in the public gaze, in order to show off: NKJV Mat 6:5 "And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray...

I believe that when Jesus talked about praying in private, He was showing the wrongness of standing ostentatiously in a public place like a street corner and praying as an individual. The disciples didn't see that as a prohibition against praying together. For example, when they were...

I agree with what you have written, and I thought my post did too, so I am unsure in what way you can say that what I wrote was dangerous in any way. I certainly never suggested that it was right to carve Jesus into pieces. "Lord" is Who He is.

I agree. If somebody says, "Jesus Christ is my Saviour but not my Lord," they are talking about a different Jesus Christ thatn the one in the Bible. There, 116 verses refer to Him as "Lord Jesus" or "Lord Jesus Christ." The Philippian jailer was told: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and...

The Church of England varies considerably. Some of its churches are thoroughly evangelical, whereas some are almost Roman Catholic, calling their vicars "Father", the Holy Communion "Mass", confessing sins to the "priest", using incense and "holy water", having 7 "sacraments" and so on.

That just is not correct. God commanded Noah to build an ark. He commanded Moses to speak to Pharaoh, He commanded Saul/Paul to go into Damascus where he would be told what to do. Is God commanding you to build an ark, to speak to Pharaoh or to go into Damascus? Of course not!

Yes, Jesus taught that there are difficulties in the way for people becoming Christians, and persecutions once we are Christians.. However, we need to balance that with other things He said. For example: NKJV Mat 11:29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in...

You seem to want to set yourself apart as one who has come to know the one true God. All true Christians know the one true God. I too believe the verses you quote. However, I don't necessarily interpret them as you do. Ecclesiastes 1:9 says: NKJV Ecc 1:9 That which has been is what will be...

To Whom were the sacrifices in the Old Testament offered? God Himself. Surely those sacrifices pointed to the one final sacrifice for sin, Jesus Christ Himself. So I would say that He paid the price to His heavenly Father.

Well, a Google search brought up this AI overview: "Overview of the Recording Content: Features 36 stories and 23 psalms from the King James Version (KJV), focusing on the Old Testament. Presentation: Presented by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and accompanied by orchestral music inspired by the...

There are Christians in Albania. I get the monthly prayer-letter from the Albanian Evangelical Mission, with requests for prayer for various local churches in Albania. So Albania should not be on a list of countries with no Christians.

Sorry about the rogue word "up" which somehow appeared in my post "They asked up for special positions" should just be "They asked for special positions." I was too late top edit it out, so I apologise.

I agree that true faith comes from God. His word tells us so: NKJV Php 1:29 For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, I agree with that too. We know the Father through the Son. No, that is not what Jesus was saying to...

Mark 10:38-39 is not about being saved. We are told what Jesus said about being saved in John 3:16, which says that it is by believeing in Him: NKJV Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life...

It is not omitted in English to smooth things out or make them readable, but because the word "et" in Hebrew is a, grammatical marker to show that the following words are the direct object. English doesn't use a word to mark the direct object. We use word order, so in the sentence, "The dog...
