"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2Cor 4:18, KJV) Our present bodies here on earth are temporal, only for our pilgrimage here; but, the spiritual...

I've watched off and on and find it sickening, a display of how Pentecostal emotionalism has so much displaced biblical practice in so-called Christianity! The only reason I've even bothered was to see what that false prophet Jonathan Cahn looks and sounds like. I had been studying how...

If I stop using the English name "Noah" and switch to the transliteration of the Hebrew "Nôach" maybe I can give the appearance of a Bible scholar who can teach my own creed without any documentation whatsoever to back it up. A person has to be very gullible to accept the writings and claims...

Spending time in this thread is like still working, it is time consuming and tiring, so a pause is good. :) Probably most reading or participating in this thread to not have access to a couple of New Testament reference works so I'll do a copy/paste for readers to consider. I'll base it on a...

I spent some time trying to figure out what you see in your quotes that has to do with Jesus' explicit statement: "Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.'” (John 2:19, NRSV) I went back to look at your writings in this thread and found one in #80. You...

The Preacher said, "What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Eccl 1:9, REB) When I read statements that seem strange to Christian teachings, or words and phrases given meaning different than what is has been...

Sir, you wrote: "...and scripture says the Father raised Messiah from the dead (Acts 13:30; Romans 10:9). He didn't raise Himself." "Jesus answered them, 'Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.' The Jews then said, 'This temple has been under construction for forty-six...

You are indeed correct. It appears you have encountered this heresy before and have looked into it. I only encountered it in years past with a Pentecostal co-worker who was a follower of Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland and those false prophets. I'd not encountered Kenotic Theology in any...

He is God, begotten from the substance of the Father before all ages; and He is man, born from the substance of His mother in this age: perfect God and perfect man, composed of a rational soul and human flesh; equal to the Father with respect to His divinity, less than the Father with respect to...

There is great worth to the Three Ecumenical Creeds of the church. The early creeds came about to systematize and put in a clear statement of truth based on the Scriptures, in order to defend the faith against heretics. They are indeed man-made creeds, but based on biblical truths and the...

This sort of discussion I find is good as Scripture states: "Iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens the wits of another." (Prov 27:17, NRSV) I believe this is especially true among the brethren in Christ who seek God's truth. It is true that once meaning of words are so close, and each...

This is the type heresy I spoke of called "Kenotic Theology". I'd encountered it talking with followers of the TV false prophets such as Kenneth Copeland, who is an example of the sad state of christendom in this day. The following information is found on the news site "Christianheadlines"...

When did Jesus "conquer sin", in the testing/temptation in the wilderness or on the cross? "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:" (Rom 8:3, ERV)...

Dino, I admit this is a point that sincere and true Christians see differently. Let me ask; to repeat the words of the translation you quoted, "who has been tempted in every way, just as we are", what do you see are the points meant in "every way"? If Jesus was hungry, could he be tempted to...

The account of Jesus being tempted by the devil in Mt. 4 - Mt.4:1 KJV "tempted" is Greek peirazo, Strong's #3985 "to test (objectively), i.e. endeavor, scrutinize, entice, discipline". The BDAG on this verse "to entice to improper behavior, tempt" Mt.4:7 KJV "tempt" is Greek ekpeirazo...

Eddie, can you not see how pompous and full of pride you appear in refusing the witness of the Holy Spirit indwelt body of Christ through the centuries? You alone have found the true answers and reject all others, including those that time, and peer review have found to be instructional and...

So, you go in for allegorical interpretation, whatever religious sounding whim you think, must be God speaking in your ear the truth in the passage? That's why it is so easy for you to contradict yourself so often, you can bend and twist allegory to suit your mood at the moment, or need to find...

Dino, I'm glad to see your posts here. I'd really begun to scratch my head at things I'd been reading on here so you're a welcome relief! :D

Each of us in our human nature will understand a verse of Scripture in the way it has been taught to us in the past and every time we read the verse it will say the same thing to us. If we were taught an error, we need to study with a critical eye to see if we were taught correctly. The...

Eddie, no way am I letting you get away with that deceptive answer to my post! Either you can't read my reply with understanding any better than you can read the Bible, or you are intentionally being dishonest. I did not start by going straight to the scholars and authorities as you state that...
