    Thanks. You put the matter much more clearly than I did.

    Tell me your favorite hymns 😊

    I like this hymn about the grace of God: O how the grace of God Amazes me! It loosed me from my bonds And set me free! What made it happen so? 'Twas His will, this much I know Set me, as now I show, At liberty. 2 My God has chosen me, Though one of nought, To sit beside my King In heaven's...

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    So, a double payment must, in that case, be made for the sins of the unsaved. The unsaved themselves must pay for their own sins, and you say that Jesus paid for them on the cross. He Himself said that He laid down His life for the sheep, yet He also told some of His hearers that they were...

    The elephant in the room

    But membership of the EU is voluntary. Not all countries in the continent of Europe are members. Norway, Switzerland, Iceland, and the UK are not members. Some countries, like Norway, have never been members. The UK was in the EU, but voted to leave, and is no longer a member. So there is...

    Revelation 19- A major Key to understanding Revelations

    Yes, I like Hebrews 9:24 too: NKJV Heb 9:24 For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; But it doesn't answer my question. Here it is again: Where in the Bible are we told...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    If you mean the question posed by the OP, It was the matter of what Christ meant when He said that His followers would do greater works than those He was doing (John 14:12). If you meant the particular matter I am involved in discussing with Godsgood, He claims that because the Bible says that...

    I didn't mention Netanyahu. I was replying to what you claimed about Jesus being crucified because (in your opinion) he was defending his values against the Romans. That is not the reason He was crucified.

    So if a world-wide flood is still happening today, why are you and I not drowned? Can you not see that it is nonsense to say that everything recorded in the Bible is still happening today?

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    Of course they weren't. But it wasn't a matter of literal versus non-literal. The Scribes and Pharisees imagined that adultery only meant physical sex with somebody to whom was not married. Jesus explained that adultery includes adulterous thoughts. He explained the same with the matter of...

    They did not crucify Him for defending his values against the Romans. The Jewish leaders asked the Romans to crucify Jesus, because they envied Him. They were not allowed to administer the death penalty themselves, so they took Him to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. We read: Mat 27:17...

    Jesus Christ certainly did not fight against the Roman Empire. Can you give a single example from the Bible of Him doing such a thing?

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    It doesn't hurt me. It just becomes rather tedious to keep reading the same phrase, that implies that you know which of us on Christian Chat are Christians and which are not. There you go again, trying to tell the rest of us that because God's word will never pass away, that must mean that all...

    I agree. "Saint" in the Bible is never used as a title before somebody's name. It is a word used to refer to all Christians. For example, when Paul began his epistle to the Ephesians like this: NKJV Eph 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in...

    How do preachers or teachers explain this?

    Well, you seem happy to believe that there is still a world-wide flood happening (despite God in His word revealing that the flood of Noah's day ended), and that the Israelites are still slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt (even though God tells us in Exodus that He brought the Israelites out of Egypt...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    I do believe that Mary was the mother of Jesus. I don't understand what you men by, "the first Christians already made him they did from it." I also don't understand what you mean about the first Protest-ants having schism because of their figure in Christianity. Most, if not all...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Sorry, what is the "it" that you say is important, and is a lighter of life and not heresy?

    Was Mary Sinless?

    If Mary was such an important figure in Christianity, it is remarkable in the extreme that she is only mentioned in the first three gospels, and once in Acts. She is not mentioned at all in any of the New Testament epistles. She is not portrayed as the figure of prime importance in...

    Was Mary Sinless?

    Well, I would says that the figure of primary importance of Christianity is Jesus Christ Himself. That is why it is called "CHRISTianity."

    Are you a monergist or a synergist?

    Whether it is multiple choice or not, that makes no difference to the fact that all 3 choices are exactly identical. Each choice has exactly the same wording: "Monergist Total = 0 Synergist Total = 0" So if somebody wants to vote for "Monergist" which one do they choose? Surely the...
