    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    That was an example, of a prediction that is not humanly possible. Skeptic can appeal to fairy tale story book telling, or movie scripts that exist only in the mind, but that will not change the fact that the Bible contains prophecy which were fulfilled accurately. JohnClay said: "I think ALL...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    I did not ask you that. No. Quote me, and you will not see that question.

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    I have only asked if you if you believe that those who do not know God, Jesus on arriving will inflict vengeance on them, and those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus, and they will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction. If your answer is yes, the you agree with the Bible. I...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    I think this is a good, and fair question, since the Sadducees were a sect of Jews active in Judea during the Second Temple period, from the second century BCE to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE. I hope that answers your question. :smile: If you ask yourself where these Jews came...

    Believers being bullied by other brothers and sisters in Christ.

    You are right David. I think while it is a fact people meet disappointment, it is an extreme to just decide to lump everything in one basket, and throw it into a dump. It evidently amounts to an excuse really - a case of taking the easy way. In other words, it allows us to "do our own thing"...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    Many people may feel strongly about what they think. The real question is though, can what they think stand up to scrutiny, and past the test. So let's test your strong belief. Can you give me the explanation for accurate fulfilment of prophecy being coincidence, delusion, hallucinations. For...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    Well, at least you believe some intelligence had to be behind creation, rather than some unguided mindless process. That's commendable, since it shows you have giving it serious thought. Yes, the Bible does tell us that Satan deceive many, by presenting what's dark, as light, but this doesn't...

    Being embarrassed about Jesus?

    Sadly John, most people who are raised going to church, and that included myself, do not have a clue what Christianity is about. Jesus summed it up in only a few verses. Matthew 22:37-40; John 17:3; John 4:23, 24 In those three texts... and this is not to say that's all that is required...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    John 1:9, 10 John 3:16 1 John 2:15-17 There's more if you want. You are the first person I have heard this from. I'm being honest. It's actually scriptural. Not an opinion. There are hundreds if not thousands of scriptures referring to the world as mankind, rather than the planet, or globe, or...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    You are indeed correct, that God is unhypocritical. God is holy - that is, pure to the highest degree, so he simply cannot be hypocritical. However, the Bible tells us this: ...and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    Clare did explain. Perhaps you do not understand. She is saying to you, that whereas, you do not know what or who is the enemy, God does, and so, he tells you, love your enemies, because they may really be your brother, but he knows the real enemy, and so he does not have to love them. The...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    In your OP, you said... According to Western Augustin Christianity, once your leave your temporary mortal body, if you miss understand what God has done or you outright reject humans ideas of God, He will burn you eternally or annihilate you. Are you changing that to "burn you eternally"...

    Is God a do as I say not as I do God?

    This is a good question. God says love your enemies, but God hates people - Psalm 5:5; Psalm 11:5; Proverbs 6:16-19, and hating people is not condemned - Psalm 31:6; Psalm 119:113; Psalm 139:21, 22. Is this a double standard? How can this be justified? By the realization the just as there are...

    Sorry for not being able to connect what you are saying here, except perhaps the idea that Jesus leads individuals by means of God's spirit, which isn't exactly true in the way people say, but not a subject for this thread, I suppose. What I would like to be able to connect to, is what you...

    Angels

    Is that to say Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, David Koresh, and others did not need to prove anything, and you assume their angels were not from God? I have not assumed anything. I know who is not visiting you, and who is. I know this, not from any assumption, which is what all people who claim to be...

    Angels

    In 1820, Joseph Smith, who was 14 years old at the time, claimed to have been visited by God the Father and Jesus Christ. He reported seeing a pillar of light and within that light, he saw two personages, one of whom spoke to him and identified the other as His Beloved Son. David Koresh claimed...

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    I understand you are lashing out from the other thread. However, his is not a meaningful response, as is the case of 95% of your posts. It simply says, "I am just going to hand wave every post, I don't have a response to." From your OP, to this point, isn't anything more than worthless human...

    You are not alone... You and a whole heap of people who don't know who visited them.

    No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

    BrightFlame. Things can look simple when we examine one side of the coin. When we look at the other side, however, things can look very different. No one can climb Mount Cerro Torre free handed. Therefore, no one can climb any mountain free handed. Hopefully you see the flaw there. Because one...

    Angels

    I do look forward to living more than 3,000 years, but I'm not that old. :smile: However, every one of us have entertained angels, only not in the way Paul referred to. Angels have been watching humans for centuries, and have been entertained in one way or other. The wicked angels are...
