In Post #7 on Page 1, MoreCoffee stated: The final section of MoreCoffee’s submission is not necessarily a sound conclusion. If Timothy was a Greek speaker, then Paul could simply have used the Greek translation (Septuagint) for clarity and convenience. It does not mean that he differed...

Pedrito is glad that Genesis Chapter 1 has been brought to our attention. Genesis Chapter 1 can teach us many things, especially with regard to translation and pre-conditioning. By observing some of the examples Genesis 1 provides, our minds can potentially be opened to the ways in which some...

...Continued To whom did Jesus teach the disciples to pray as Father? Was it not the very same God/Father that the Jews and their faithful forebears had worshipped all along? If there is any doubt about that, consider the people in Israel whose names were designed to display an affinity for...

Antartica?? No! Not Antartica. Definitely not. It's Antarctica.

Evening and Morning. The first chapter of Genesis contains compressed, summarised information. It is not designed to convey detail, but rather concepts. Important concepts. Some of those concepts could only be understood by modern man, and therefore were clearly targeting modern man. (The same...

Pedrito wishes to request the Reader’s help. Pedrito has declared a number of times, with clarity, that: - He believes that unadulterated, in-context, Holy Scripture can be the only basis for determining doctrine and practice. … - And therefore the concept of “Sola Scriptura” is both admirable...

…Continued from Post #32 on Page 4 Now that the diversion has been put to bed (Posts 34 and 35 on Page 4), we can at last refocus our attention on the concept and claim of “Sola Scriptura” proclaimed by many non-RCC and non-Orthodox churches. Pedrito once again presents for consideration...

...Continued Did the concept of God=Father=God change in the apostolic Gospel? Romans 1:7 “To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.” 1Corinthians 1:3 “Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father...

In Post #5 on Page 1, MoreCoffee made a very good, if laboured, point. He presented information about one of the aspects of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ teaching that can be considered lamentable. The identification of the year 1914 as having particular significance, based on prophetic calculations...

MoreCoffee, Post #7 on Page 1: Indeed not. However, by playing the “Jehovah’s Witnesses” card so many times, MoreCoffee has convinced Pedrito that he (MoreCoffee) is fully aware of something – fully aware that in Protestant circles (especially “Evangelical” circles), Jehovahs Witnesses are...

Might it help to have a closer look at the Hebrew word translated as "day" in English? English "day", Hebrew יום (yom). Some examples. Genesis 1:5: “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” Singular Genesis 4:3 “And...

...Continued Both Old and New Testaments show with clarity that the Jews recognised God as Father. Which are the following quotes from? (A subset of possible quotes, to conserve space.) Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your...

Did Israel know about resurrection? Could it be that that was all they knew about how God would rescue people from death? (The Sadducees were the exception, because they did not believe in the resurrection as did everyone else. They taught that when a person died, that was it. That is why they...

Honesty. Honesty in action. In Post #33 on Page 4, Josiah made the following statements: "Arbitration typically mandates a "norma normans" - the standard, rule, plumbline. If it's not Scripture, then the question becomes: what is it?" "But then you keep stressing, "Sola Scriptura, my foot!"...

In Post #1, MoreCoffee asked: I must confess, I’m finding it hard to figure that out. Perhaps I should leaf that to someone else to address.

Honesty. How important is it? For example, in Post #31 on Page 4, Josiah responded to Pedrito’s Post #30 on Page 3. Pedrito’s post, in answer to Josiah’s deceptive questions in Post #14 on Page 2, emphasised the Bible alone as being the sole authority (and not church councils, for instance)...

I’m glad I found these forgotten items. … Continued And what did Paul state regarding Christians of Jewish background especially? (A statement considered by him to be compatible with his other statements that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek, etc.) Romans 3:1,2: Once again clearly...

In Post #30 on Page 3, MoreCoffe’s stated: That was in response to Pedrito's (In Post #29): So Pedrito initially made the comment in Post #20 on Page 2. That was on 21st-Oct-2016, before MoreCoffee's mentioned post of 29th-Oct-2016. Pedrito understands that it is easy to miss detail as one...

In Post #10 on Page 1, MoreCoffe’s stated: In response to my related comments in Post #27 on Page 3, which proposed that the "whole counsel of God", the unadulterated Old and New Testaments in unison represent God's truth regarding spiritual matters, MoreCoffe replied (Post #28 on Page 3): OK...

...Continued Both Old and New Testaments show with clarity that the Jews recognised God as Father. Some quotes are given below. Are they from the Old Testament or New Testament? Isaiah 64:8 “But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of...
