Right. When God says, "Let us reason together," that is divine logic, i.e. logic that is controlled by God. But the reasoning behind such logic is earthly, or else God wouldn't be able to "reason together" with us.

Romans 13: 1 says, “Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” Similarly, Daniel 2:21 says, “[God] …removes kings and sets up kings…” There are those who will assert that ANYONE who is...

Logic is an earthly concept. When God said "Let us reason together," He meant He is the almighty who is above logic, but will employ it to make us see that He is beyond logic itself. Anyway, 1 Corinthians 14:5 says the following: "Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but BUT EVEN MORE TO...

. I'm a big fan of wolves. Unlike humans, they stick with their mates until death do them part. They only kill what they need to eat. They are smarter than dogs, including bichon frises and they have the brains to prove it. They also are big contributors to the well-being of our ecological...

Actually, the Children of Israel, at least some of them, accepted the Holy Spirit. They were among Jesus' first followers. without their help, we probably would have never heard of Jesus. The Will of the Father is probably best described in terms of Jesus' first and second great commandments...

***Right. But my OP focused on smoking as but one example. It can apply to anything that destroys our bodies while giving nothing beneficial to it in return. Oxygen is an example of something that destroys us, but we need it in order to live. Unlike oxygen, you won't die if you quit smoking...

Some have said that assertions cannot be made by just quoting isolated verses from the Bible, which, in and of themselves, can be easily taken out of context. There is some basis in this since 2 Timothy 3:16 says “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for...

Are obscene expressions immoral under God? There was an actress named Mae West who was prominent in the early to mid-twentieth century and was known for expressions that were sexually expressive. For example, in 1937 she was in a radio skit with Don Ameche, with both portraying Adam and Eve. At...

And? If? So? But? How does your statement apply?

I'm talking about wolves in the literal sense. And I don't think the Bible mentions wolves in a literal sense, rather, it talks about certain people as perhaps having the characteristics of wolves, i.e. the figurative sense. And wolves per se, the real ones, are generally afraid of man. I...

. Wolves generally operate in packs. A lone wolf is an exception. But if there are sheep in a church that normally accommodates people, then either a lone wolf or a pack of wolves can do alot of damage. if it's any consolation, once they've had their fill they sleep for much of the rest of...

In Matthew 7:21, Jesus says “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, BUT THE ONE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven.” What is God’s Will? The Bible lays out certain behavior that is pleasing to God. But since ALL scripture is breathed out by God...

Matthew 7:21 - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

Give us a reference you're familiar with, and I'll try to explain what I posted.

It sounds, NEHEMIAH, like you BUILT A WALL against any further prophets. Nehemiah the prophet, your namesake, did not build such a wall. The one he oversaw being built was in Jerusalem to replace the one that was destroyed by its enemies. There is nothing in the Bible that says there will be no...

Tell us something you ARE sure of, and I'll try again to explain what I posted.

The Bible is full of characters, both major and minor. The major ones, like Moses, and Jesus, have movies made about them. The minor ones, not so much unless they did sensational things, like Samson. The Bible also tends to make assumptions of the reader, since there are many instances in which...

The prior post, expanded: What do you make of Jeremiah 1:5, which says "“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”? Does that passage no longer apply? It has been used to argue that God knows everyone who...
