Pedrito thanks Stravinsk for his Post #4. A few thoughts. 1. Pedrito would like to point out that he has edited Post #3 to improve the way a thought was expressed. 2. Knowing there wouldn’t be enough space to discuss the two main points in the one post (there wasn’t enough space to address...

Post #29: That was a reasonable response. In fact, Pedrito’s questions were not designed to be asked of that Poster in particular. 1 Corinthians 15:42-50, speaking of the Church (emphasis added): “42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in...

Pedrito finds something to be of extreme interest. He finds it of extreme interest that the inspired, Holy Apostles, especially the Apostle Paul, one of the chief Hebrew scholars of his day, were so unaware of these important characteristics of their own holy language, and did not become...

Post 25: Pedrito finds it amazing, the number of misapprehensions that he has been labouring under for so long. This is obviously another one. Pedrito thought that in heaven, people would have spirit bodies. (1 Corinthians 15:42-46) So he must ask some more clarifying questions...

13.8 thousand million years … An interesting figure. Large enough to avoid independent checking. Precise enough (13.82 billion rather than 14.0 billion) to give a sense of accuracy, around 0.1 billion years greater than the age calculated just a few years previously. By comparison, our galaxy...

Pedrito does not normally look for comfort and support in that manner. He knows that Christians can expect and will experience a mixture of blessings and trials. When the trials come, he simply grits his teeth and battles his way through them, knowing that each one will have a definite end...

Post 18: Pedrito wishes to ask, for clarification: Did the man from Canada happen to mention what plants were being grown? If flowers for instance, where were the vases to be obtained? If edible plants, who was going to eat them? Perhaps the Poster could obtain more detail. Pedrito is also...

We have seen that God revealed to the people in “Old Testament” times that rescue from death for them would occur, and that it would be via resurrection. With that in mind, consider the patriarchal custom of being buried in the vicinity of loved ones as much as possible. Their understanding...

Lämmchen had the right idea in Post #4: and in Post #6: When people die, their bodies return to dust. Genesis 2:7: “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Genesis 3:19: “In the sweat of thy face...

Post #23 on Page 3: Pedrito wonders why those statements were made. Pedrito did not state anywhere that true dedication is “a requirement to receive salvation”. Exactly the opposite in fact. As previously pointed out by the Poster of Post #23 (in Post # 20 0n Page 2), the verse located...

Post #20 on Page 2: "Claim"? … "about "true dedication""? Pedrito sees that he has been labouring under yet another misapprehension. To think that for all those years, Pedrito thought that what the Wonderful God of Creation and Salvation wanted of His redeemed people, was true dedication to...

The reference was initially placed on the incorrect line. It was corrected prior to Pedrito's seeing Lämmchen's post. Apologies.

Pedrito thinks the matter is quite simple. (But will he be seen to be merely simplistic? Let’s see.) ============================================================================================== 1. God extends an offer to sinful individuals. 2. Some respond to that offer. 3. Of those...

Isn’t it amazing how easily people classify themselves. Take for instance, the type of person who presents from a broad set of information, only the portions that appear to act as evidence in support of their personal perspectives and beliefs. (Even if that set of extracted information is...

The question was asked, “Do believe enough?” (Maybe “Do you believe enough”?) Pedrito is unsure. Pedrito tends to be somewhat skeptical. Especially when faced with inconsistency and imprecision. Can anyone tell Pedrito what the pass mark is?

Post #22 on Page 3: Pedrito has already presented the thought that the early chapters of Genesis contain highly compressed and summarised information. If that thought be true, then statements of God’s actions can sensibly be understood to be statements of achievement, as opposed to statements...

Post #19: The prayers prayed by the people and their religious leaders are not just for loved ones. That is the relevant point. God is invoked to provide national victory and the safety and protection of the soldiers on “our side” (meaning withdrawal of safety and protection from the soldiers...

Pedrito: ImaginaryDay2: ImaginaryDay2 has just identified with clarity the origin of denominationalism – i.e. identified the source of the undeniable confusion that characterises Christendom. ==============================================================================================...

Post #5 on Page 1: It would seem that IACOBVS, just as most of the members of Christendom apparently seem to do, has overlooked the fact that the early chapters of Genesis contain highly compressed and summarised information. Think: Were God to have planned to entrust scientific knowledge to...

As an aside, Pedrito once knew someone who named her cat Filioque. Pedrito didn’t know about the Clause in those days. But he definitely felt the claws.
