You have to two options: 1) Go to the city, get a marriage license. Then have a ceremony where a Pastor/Rabbi/Leader marries you. Both sign the license and return it to the city for filing. 2) Go to the city and get married by the justice of the peace which can be same day. Or if you live in Las...

@Drich @OMC Consider the parable of the 10 virgins too. Both sets were waiting for the bride groom. Half were prepared, the other half weren't. Half got locked out and the half that got locked out, were told "Truly I tell you, I don't know you". Again, both had oil (Holy Spirit), just like...

Both following Christ in not just speech but actions. Both learning to be better spouses to each other in love, kindness, forgiveness and empathy. Being a team instead of Master/Servant, but as head of the house, the man has the final say and will be held accountable to God for his decisions...

How can Christ have all the power of God without the need of the Father when you have this verse: What part is being "lower than angels"? If he lowered His status, He lowered His abilities and power. Otherwise you have to do a bunch of mental gymnastics to get around the status change of being...

Keep in mind that John being taken in the spirit, means he was given a vision. It does not mean God transported him to literal Heaven, or the literal future. So you have to read Revelation like you would by any Vision (Like the book of Daniel). Which means things are either symbolic, literal or...

Depends on how you define "100% God" or "100% man". People will have different ideas on what that means. For instance, If you define it as Christ was 100% God in title, I agree. But if you define it as, Christ had all the powers of that he would have in his God-hood form, I disagree. Because...

I like what you said and I agree. You can think you're saved, but aren't. Proves people thought they were saved. They're calling Him Lord, and they're citing evidence of the Holy Spirit as proof of that claim. That within itself proves that people can think they're saved and yet, won't be. Is...

Sanctification is also a means for testing. Sanctification is the act of becoming holy. The law is considered holy. So obedience is part of sanctification and just how God tested the Israelites obedience, God tests ours. So if God is testing something, that does not mean it's up to par yet...

While there is a mix of literal + symbolic in Revelation, I personally believe God took the ark and moved it to heaven. He considered the ark and the items in the ark so sacred, that touching it would instantly kill you. I highly doubt, God would leave the ark sitting around inside some...

Process. The "goal post" that Christians like to think exists is only known by God. In this life, our faith is tested, we are trained, refined and changed. Those who have gone through that process are God's. I picture life like a school. 1) School is open to everyone, all you have to do is...

Sure! I won't be around much today, lots to do. But I will have more time tomorrow. If you want to get started, I'll just reply when I can.

I did, but I didn't see Pisteuo in the list when I looked it up. G571 ἄπιστος apistos adjective that believe not, unbelieving, faithless, unbeliever, infidel, thing incredible, which believe not G1680 ἐλπίς elpis noun hope, faith G3640 ὀλιγόπιστος oligopistos noun of little faith...

The problem is that in greek, Faith (Pistos) is an adjective. There's no greek verb for faith. It's all nouns or adjectives. But in the adjective sense, it gives the impression that it's someone who has already done the actions and continues doing them. trusty, faithful of persons who show...

I agree. Like I said to you earlier, I agree with your statement, I just don't agree to attribute everything you've said into the definition of a word. Works salvation is = acts of righteousness gets you to heaven. It negates Christ. But without forgiveness, no one gets to heaven because no...

And this a perfect example of why context is so important. Because although faith is a gift, that isn't the end all, be all for the word. Otherwise, why have verses like: Mark 1:15 — “Repent, and believe in the gospel.” If faith was a gift that didn't require our involvement? Or: Acts 16:31 —...

Sure! Just let me know, and I'll give it a look when I can.

Don't feel bad, it's okay if you disagree with me, I won't be offended. :) I understand where you're coming from, I truly do but I think you're going a bit overboard. Linguistics has finite definitions to words but context can temporarily add meaning to those words but that doesn't change the...

Again, I agree with the points of what was said, I don't agree with the added context and how its inserted as part of the "definition".

My response to you was in response to 83.

The problem that I have with pure definitions, is that people take context that is implied in the verses/chapter and then try and apply it to the definition. I'm not saying what was said is inaccurate (I agree with the fundamental basis), all I'm saying is to list it as a "Definition" should be...
