Am I the only one who finds the translation of Enoch and the resurrection of Lazarus to be problematic, because Paul calls Christ's resurrection the "firstfruits" in 1CR 15:20?

My reason for sharing my fallible faith with folks is hoping they will find what I have learned from infancy helpful for understanding ultimate truth and we will have fellowship. When I encounter someone who has a contradictory understanding, I want to learn which is the better belief, to admit...

Anyway, I just wanted to say that by way of encouraging us to appreciate the blessing God has given us in this country that now seems less likely to succumb to a fascist-marxist takeover by the Dems. Yay! PTL! And Happy trails till we meet again on other threads! :^)

Well, I am reading this post closely and not finding it very helpful, so I guess I should assume, no conclude, no--guess is right after all I guess--that you agree with those things. Sorry I did not gain that understanding from our previous discussion, but I agree that God went to a lot of work...

Consider this. Many of you seem cynical about politics, but is any other thing you are involved with pure? Do you only go from your prayer closet to your church and back again without being salt, light and leaven for the world in other aspects of living? (MT 5:13-16) Shouldn't we be...

So if I understand you correctly, you think a person can be saved without believing: There is a/one all-loving and just Lord or God (DT 6:4, JN 3:16, 2THS 1:6), who is both able (2TM 1:12) and willing (1TM 2:3-4) to provide all morally accountable human beings salvation or heaven—a wonderful...

GL 3:28 is the subject of the verb following the parenthetical part. (Communicating clearly is like groaning in labor! :^)

Huh? That is exactly what I am cautioning you against doing, because neither of us is infallible and can claim absolute certainty, only sufficient confidence/assurance. We should align our faith with GW which says we walk by faith--not by sight or certainty!

Maybe He chose to come to earth for the recent election as the HS within believer and inspired millions of Christians to vote for the policies they think best reflect NT values.

Salvation is merely by faith=belief in God/GW/the Gospel. You don't need to work up enough faith to prove/know God exists/GW is true/the Gospel saves. You cannot have genuine assurance, because you do not infallibly know that you will not go out from us in the future. Of course, you will...

Okay, so what point(s) of the elaborated kerygma do you think God does not provide/require us to believe? (Reposted below for y'all's convenience :^) There is a/one all-loving and just Lord or God (DT 6:4, JN 3:16, 2THS 1:6), who is both able (2TM 1:12) and willing (1TM 2:3-4) to provide all...

Hi L, I like to denote GRFS with the Greek word kerygma, meaning proclamation or preaching, referring to the good news (Gospel) concerning salvation to heaven and from a just hell (the DOD, cf. RM 1:16, GL 1:6-12, CL 1:21-23). This Gospel was preached by Peter (in ACTS 2:22-24) and...

Okay, the next question or objection of atheists is this: If God is loving, why does He allow suffering? And the answer per logic/right reasoning and interpretation of Scripture is?

I agree, so now I ask whether you agree with what I posted as my answer, because you seemed to reject it at one point: HB 2:14-18, "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death--that is, the...

V, I will make the same bet with you that I made with SB: A million dollars that Rom 14:5 & Col 2:16 are correct in teaching that resting on the sabbath is optional for Christians. "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to...

...Said the head to the foot, but at least that leaves me with edification (EPH 4:11-15), which I exercise by means of editing or sewing Scripture together (cf. LK 24:27&45), using logic to connect the dots (cf. ACTS 13:16-48), mainly for the purpose of theodicy or equipping the saints to...

HB, confession of sin at conversion is only the beginning of our relationship with God. The relationship between Believers/Christians and God may be viewed as having three stages. The first stage is the moment of conversion or repentance (ACTS 20:21) just mentioned, when a person “plugs in”...

Well, I am surprised that you don't remember saying "That which is perfect is referring to maturity", unless you have senioritis like me. Earthly maturation is not perfection, but I am glad you think my gifts are still in effect. Whew! :D

He was also bigger and stronger, but these parameters are irrelevant in the body of Christ, where the head should not demean the foot per 1CR 12:21.

I think our record is seriously scratched!
