    OT post flood genealogy off a tad according to original hebrew text

    I started off being Catholic with my father's remarriage when I was growing up, before I learned the gospel of the Bible and became a believer with the Bible for basis. I still thought the Bible was to be trusted before as a Catholic, though I heard hardly any direct teaching from Bible...

    The distinct persons of the Trinity

    With scriptures there are for it, there is certainty that God is one Being. This is the Supreme Being, just one being. The heavenly Father, Jesus Christ the incarnation of Logos the Word with God who is God, and the holy Spirit of God the Paraclete are each this one being God, Yahweh. Scriptures...

    If paedobaptism were taught...

    Why is there baptism, what is it for? If babies are not shown being baptized in the Bible, who are the ones being baptized? I see those who repent, those who come to faith, those who come to Christ. Jesus Christ said to go make disciples from all the nations, "teaching them to observe all things...

    Are babies sinners?

    If there is belief in what the Bible says of this, it would not be questioned, which may be happening still, in sin we were conceived. That does not mean the sex of the parents from which we were conceived was necessarily sinful, we inherit the universal sin nature. Our babies have that, even...

    What I posted above with the quote from doctors who have saved lives with this, including one who did that for himself, is so healthy, and it was certainly in God's design for us, that it would be right for anyone, and much better for any to come to, they really should, and it doesn't make sense...

    PERFECT LOVE

    None of us in this world are in the position to say we love perfectly. God loves all his creatures. It would be right if we do so. But God has no limit to loving. We limit our love. Would you do the same with love to any that you meet, as any other in your life? And most among us generally, if...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    That Abram only went as far as Haran until God talked with him and showed him where to go was not disobedience of Abram, as he could only go where Yahweh God showed him to go, which he did obey. He could not know where it was that God would show him. And God would not show him to cross the wide...

    Pelosi not for impeachment, saying Trump isn't worth it

    The Russian meddling in the presidential election, which was basis for Trump saying lock her up, to diminish support for Hillary in the election, when there is further reason to see his collusion, and blocking fair investigation, is basis for impeachment. That he is self-serving, with benefiting...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    I looked at Galatians 5 (not at all the first time, I am not at all a new believer, and if your way of communicating really shows your age I have been reading the Bible around as long as you have been around, so I have looked at it many times). From that it is known that being circumcised as a...

    Your beloved pets

    During a couple of periods in my life I had a pet dog, each time I was caring a lot for my pet. It hurt so much to lose the pet I cared for. But I know that God, who is love, cares for the creatures of God's creation far more than I or others would. As prophecies show, animals will live unharmed...

    Did Abraham conjure up his own faith...

    Abraham was an amazing man of faith, an example to us. He knew there was the one God, revealed in previous generations, still forsaken by others everywhere, for gods and beliefs others came up with. When he heard God, he responded obediently every time, which we generally don't do, even ones...

    ORTHODOX STUFF

    That Hank Hanegraaff turned to Eastern Orthodox Christian faith means though that he has come to believe this faith in the presence of Jesus Christ in the bread wafers at that time. When I listened to him long ago, before this change was announced, I never heard him discuss that. But far earlier...

    ORTHODOX STUFF

    Hank Hanegraaff is well known for his dealing with cults, and heresies among Christians. I don't just agree with things that are distinct in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. But being in that is not contrary to anything essential in Christianity, as far as I know. Hank Hanegraaff did not have to...

    Diet sodas including Diet Coke are known now to not help weight loss and even hinder it, besides being unhealthy. The one real reason for losing weight that there should be is losing weight in becoming healthier. But diet fads are not healthy, just lifelong healthy lifestyle will be good for...

    ORTHODOX STUFF

    Jesus said to not hinder the children from coming to him. With this it really settles when children reach accountability. Some of us see children coming to Jesus very early in their lives. They show, regardless that this is not what they themselves mean to do, that they are capable as any who...

    Pelosi not for impeachment, saying Trump isn't worth it

    Any other president before could be impeached for less things. Obstruction of justice alone would call for it. Prior to his election, which had this behind him winning the electoral vote, he was calling "Lock her up!" with far less basis. He serves really his own interest, it isn't the...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    That Yahweh chose any already from before the foundation of the world is useless information for identifying people to distinguish. The only basis we have to distinguish people is the evidence of faith with Christ as Lord that shows in how others live. They already show they are the elect...

    When I found the information of Forks Over Knives, I realized I was seeing the absolutely most healthful way of eating shown from that. So I could eat this right way with which many health problems can be avoided. There are other reasons that are important to give up animal products. Being...

    comparing 7 different denominations

    Where is seen that I ever suggested that I hold to that? Why assume that I do? Speak just for yourself about perspectives. Honeycomb has clearly been edited out of the Bible text in Bible versions, I have seen cases of other such editing. I trust the original writing of scriptures were the...

    Sharing statements on Christian theology

    There is presumption in emphasizing the elect as a group regardless of whether they yet came to salvation or not. This is not what the scriptures communicate for anywhere. The communication for any distinction is only with recognizing those who came to salvation through essential faith in Christ...
