Did a village save me ? Yes. My progress toward faith in Jesus was moved along by many influences, including God's.

No. Yes. Yes.

The nephilim were produced by demons getting inside idolator women and messing with their and their foetus' gene code. Once the genes are in the extant gene pool, even recessive "giantism" genes can activate and produce giants later on. Maybe Noah's or Noah's wife's ancestry contained persons...

To avoid equivocation, please explain what you mean by keep and saved. These words have a variety of meanings in scripture and common discourse. Your question is too vague. It's like asking "Who keeps a newborn baby safe?" It takes a village, right?

The person who is able to be whole without trusting God and heeding God and/or being granted mercy by God, is keeping themself saved/whole. Is there such a person?

2ndTimeIsTheCharm said: Please read this verse carefully: John 6:37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. In this sentence, there are actually TWO groups of people being described here: 1) those the Father gives to Jesus, and 2) whoever...

No.

I don't know how many kinds of plateau birds and how many kinds of cattle and how many kinds of plateau animalia there were in Adam's day. I'm just pointing out that it may be a lot fewer than all the kinds of beasts of the earth of the time.

Gen. 1: 24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the...

I agree with you that it is unlikely that anything that is ever-existent, which is what the Persons of the Godhead are, and what the Divine Community/Entity they comprise is, would cease to exist. However, it does not seem to me to be unlikely (metaphysically or biblically) that some members of...

When you say that "God cannot determine not be God/omnipotent," do you mean that no Person in the Community we call God can become "not omnipotent " Or just that it cannot be that all members of the divine Community surrender omnipotence at one and the same time ?

I lean toward the Received Text as more trustworthy, but it is worthwhile considering what difference the other versions of the Greek text introduce into a passage. I am completely unimpressed with Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. The RT goes with gar. The MGNT goes with hoti. Gar, as I understand...

The clause "and bear your whoredoms" in Numbers 14:33 does not necessarily mean that the younger generation were being punished for the whoredoms of their fathers. 31 But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have despised...

I agree. Jesus "spoke of actual believers in the here and now" as being His sheep, not people who may have made a profession or actually believed in God in the past, and not those who were not believing in God yet but may believe in God and Christ the future. We agree.

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested...

Eph 2:4 ὁ δὲ θεὸς (The but God) πλούσιος (rich) ὢν (being, present participle) ἐν ἐλέει (en + dative, at rest in mercy) διὰ τὴν πολλὴν (through-into the great) ἀγάπην (love) αὐτοῦ (of Him) ἣν (which, acc, s, expressing movement toward, into which) ἠγάπησεν (he loves/d, aorist active...

If we are doing a Bible study, we each contribute our thoughts isnour own words concerning what we think the passages mean. It is disrespectful to my efforts to convey the meaning of a passage, when you simply extract words from my contribution and insert them into the Not Inspired Version (NIV)...

Please allow me to backtrack and recant the line of argument I have taken from here in this thread. It is clear to me that I made a scribal error and inverted two clauses, putting them in the wrong order and then proceeded to build a case based on the unbiblical inverted sentence. My bad. I took...

I never said Gen. 1:1 is not the creation of the earth. Another straw man alert.

These matters have all been explained to you several times before. I am not going to bother trying to explain these things to you again, as you refuse to acknowledge any any verses anywhere in the Bible could possibly mean anything other than LOUPI.
