In Post #35 on Page 4 MoreCoffee stated: As Pedrito understands it, Allah is indeed merciful – to those who surrender their wills to him – i.e. to Muslims – not to people in general. ============================================================================================== Fiji has a...

This may appear a little off topic at first, but read it through and see. (Might it actually pertain to many topics?) Have you ever wondered how general intelligence tests work? Apart from testing for specific abilities such as matematical formulae, pattern and shape recognition, etc., the...

In Post #299 on Page 30, MoreCoffee stated: The context of Matthew 4:7 is enlightening. Matthew 4:5-7: “5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He...

On Page 2, in Post #12, MoreCoffee stated: “Jesus offered himself. Hebrews 7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.” Pedrito notes that in the Catholic Enquiry...

Some quick feedback on comments made by Snerfle in Post #38 on Page 4. “Snerfle tips his hat to Pedrito and says, 'How kind of you to say that. Gracias, señor.'” De nada, mi amigo. “Snerfle is considering changing his position.” Pedrito’s chair gets uncomfortable too, at times. “Snerfle...

1. Pedrito commends Rens for her excellent investigation presented in Post #27 on Page 3. 2. In response to Lämmchen’s question in Post #12 on Page 2 regarding Jesus’ present bodily form: “But it's still a body, right?”, Pedrito points to Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 15:44: “It is sown a...

Pedrito finds it of interest that in response to Sword7's statements in Post #274 on Page 28: “We agree only that it is what man has coined as a phrase. We agree he was 100 percent man and is now returned to the father . But was he at all times in his flesh 100%God ... ?”, a statement was made...

Pedrito always finds it interesting how selected post-apostolic theologians are given the title “church fathers”, and that it is their ruminations that form the basis of matters regarding faith, doctrine and practice. Shouldn’t that title rather be accorded to Jesus’ hand picked apostles? In...

The early chapters of Genesis contain highly summarised information. (Those chapters also contain specifically coded information that would make sense only to modern Man, and by means of which God would reveal His unquestionable existence to people in our time – those having eyes willing to...

The Post #22 on Page 3 is interesting. In response to Pedrito's: “So, if Scripture is silent about something, it is not important. Therefore, if Scripture is silent about something, that something (anything) cannot be taken on as doctrine. Also and especially, if Scripture clearly weighs in...

Perhaps it is in understanding what an individual promise entails, that determines whether or not: “For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.” (Romans 11:29) OR there are “any promises that terminated and if any unfaithfulness on the part of people can ever end a promised...

In Post #1 on Page 1, MoreCoffee stated: The Greek word ἑορτάζω translated “let us feast” in 1 Corinthians 5:8 as quoted in Post #1, actually means “to keep a feast day, celebrate a feast, observe a festival”. So Pedrito asks: - What is the feast to which Paul was referring? - Could it have...

There is a hymn that starts: "God is working his purpose out as year succeeds to year:" What if that were actually true? What if God was allowing "the god of This World" (Satan) to hold sway, to foment the horrors we see in the world around us, and to promote disagreement and bickering among...

God chose to redeem sinful and rebellious mankind. God chose to effect that through the sacrificial, atoning, ransoming death of his Son. To people with perceptive eyes, that is bound to look good.

Post #36 on Page 4: It would seem that the Poster has clearly demonstrated that there is more directly stated Scriptural evidence for Job’s being sinless, than there is for Mary’s being sinless. And then he shows Scripture demonstrating that no human (of Adam’s direct male lineage, including...

In Post #1 on Page 1, MoreCoffee asked if we have lost the faith of our fathers. He offered materialism as a possible reason if so. But is materialism (being drawn into a cult of possessions as a substitute) the only problem? And what time frame was being referred to? How many generations...

How about this... Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death...” Mary is no longer with us. Therefore Mary died. (Any bodily assumption would have been somewhat unusual one could assume, and one could further assume that had Mary departed that way, it would have been big news. One could be...

In Post #85 on Page 9, Lämmchen stated: Intrigued, Pedrito looked “flaming” up in a number of dictionaries. dictionary.com had the most meaningful entries. “verb (used without object): Computer Slang. to post an angry, critical, or disparaging electronic message, as an online comment. verb...

Pedrito consistently defends the Bible and its Wonderful, In-Context, Consistent Truth. MoreCoffee (Post #81 on Page 9) stated [emphasis added]: “I do not advocate sola scriptura and feel no need to follow that particular heresy in my replies.”...

With reference to MoreCoffee’s statements in Post #79 on Page 8: ============================================================================================== Note the “One may gather bible verses and carefully select them to present a case”. He applies that thought to the Scriptural support...
