This is an open discussion forum. Anyone who is registered may address any post in any thread. If I answer a question addressed to another person, that doesn't make me their "spokesperson"... at all. If you don't like how it works, you're certainly free to leave. If you want to answer on behalf...

I may not know you personally in this physical life, but what we are discussing here concerns salvation and our spiritual life. And based on what I see from your words and behavior, you come across as arrogant when it comes to spiritual matters. You seem to think very highly of yourself...

Sorry. I thought he was your spokesperson. He hasn’t even done what s He was supposed to do for herself yet, but he’s already speaking on behalf of others.

David Lamb, I noticed that you have a spokesperson here. Isn’t it supposed to be, “Work out your own salvation”? PHILIPPIANS 2:12 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling...

When we are discussing the Word of God, a person should be serious, because the words of God are sacred and should not be mixed with foolish answers. Because of your answer, I once again affirm Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. When the Lord spoke the truth through the words of God, there...

No. What the Scribes and Pharisees were doing was limiting the commandments to mere outward acts. They thought if the didn't partake in sex outside of marriage, they were being really good. Jesus told them that the commandment included evil thoughts, looking at a woman other than one's wife...

NKJV Mat 23:25 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Mat 23:26 Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also. Mat 23:27...

No. What the Scribes and Pharisees were doing was limiting the commandments to mere outward acts. They thought if the didn't partake in sex outside of marriage, they were being really good. Jesus told them that the commandment included evil thoughts, looking at a woman other than one's wife and...

That is why you do not see these things continuing to happen today: because your understanding of the Word of God comes only from yourself or from other people. We who have come to know the one true God do not rely on our own understanding when it comes to God and His Word. PROVERBS 3:5 5...

When the Lord Jesus began His ministry, He was about 30 years old. When He came to the Jews, their basis for salvation was the Word of God. They therefore sought to obey God’s commandments according to their literal meaning: “Do not murder, do not steal, do not lie, do not commit adultery...

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. In the time of the New Testament, the Jews, led by the scribes and Pharisees, followed and enforced God’s commandments...

All of those things are truly happening in our time. But I am not forcing you to see them that way. It simply means that you were not given the eyes to see all of these things. However, we who have come to know the one true God are clearly being shown by the Lord that these things continue to...

Understanding that verse as literally true does not in any way contradict Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. What kind of water did John the Baptist use for baptism?

NKJV Gen 9:11 Thus I establish My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth." Your understanding of this is literal. That is why it contradicts Ecclesiastes 1:9 and Matthew 24:35. The benefit of...

But much of the Bible is literal. God literally created the earth, sun, moon, stars, animals, birds, fish, mankind, etc. He literally sent a world-wide flood, which killed all humans and animals not with Noah on the ark. He literally sent His only begotten Son to be born of a virgin, and to...

So please tell me, why does Hebrew and Greek have to conform with English usage? Jesus told His followers to love their enemies. He Himself as a Child was subject to Mary and Joseph; He didn't hate them: What comes out of your mouth shows that you do not understand God’s word for yourself...

Please stop using that phrase, "We who have come to know the one true God." It makes it sound as though you are making the judgement that others of us are not even Christians. That surely cannot be right. I cannot stop saying that we have come to know the one true God, because that is the...

It is enough for me to testify to Ecc. 1:9 and Matt. 24:35. I will leave you to your belief. But I cannot say that I do not see it that way, because God is showing it to me.

If you cannot fulfill Luke 14:26 through hatred, then it is also impossible for you to fulfill John 6:51, 55, and 56. How will you eat the flesh of the Lord and drink His blood so that you may be saved? JOHN 6:51, 55 & 56 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of...

You say that you do not depend on your own understanding. But when it comes to the promise of the Lord God in Gen 9:11, it is clear that you do depend on your own understanding. That is why you interpret it in a literal sense. And because you cannot see what we see, your seemingly clear...
