    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    How do you know that they do, @Faithhopeandcharity? What in the Bible gives any church leader the right to declare ideas that aren't in the Bible to be the truth?

    1948 was pivitol

    Until the majority of Israel believes in Jesus as the Messiah, @visionary, as Paul seems to predict in Romans 11:26, I will not believe that the nation's establishment is from God: Rom 11:25 Lest you be wise in your own sight, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery, brothers: a...

    Do you think people can still go out of body.Like paul?:)

    @jesus lover, I'm convinced from personal experience that God gave Paul a vision of heaven. He gave me one at the turn of the century for the benefit of the church of which I was a pastor. Visions are different from dreams in that the former are very vivid and often symbolic. Dreams I forget...

    @Lamb and @Frankj, God gives us the task of witnessing about what he has done for us. In my case, he gave me the spiritual gifts of preaching and teaching as a pastor for 27 years. Then, when I retired from full-time as a pastor, God switched "gears" to give me the spiritual gift of creativity...

    What do you think of 1 Kings 3:1-15?

    Yes, @jesus lover, it shows the good and bad sides of Solomon. The good was his request for wisdom instead of riches; the bad was his offering sacrifices on the high places, a practice forbidden in the law. Such disobedience leads eventually to his wandering after the idols of his many foreign...

    Ye are gods

    What parts of Ecclesiastes are you talking about, Frankj?

    What do you think of 1 Kings 3:1-15?

    @jesus lover, why do you bring up this passage for our comments?

    Ye are gods

    So, @Can't think of a name, who do you think Jesus was, a mere man or God? I think he was both. He was fully human and fully God. John said it this way: Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:2 He was in the beginning with God. Joh 1:3...

    How many people on here have memorized the whole bible?

    I have never been able to memorize anything, period, @jesus lover. God has not given me that ability, but he has enabled me to paraphrase and summarize its truths. God has blessed me in reading through the whole Bible many times, though.

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    @MoreCoffee, here are two definitions of the word "metaphor," according to dictionary.com: 1. a figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance, as in “A mighty fortress is our God.” 2. something used...

    Salvation not based on our merit

    What Bible verses say what you just said? I say what John Calvin said, "Go as far as the Bible and then stop." It's my opinion that you might have gone over that line, @Webster.

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    Have you ever considered the possibility that your Catholic teachings might be mistaken in their literalistic understanding of Jesus' "I AM" claims, @MoreCoffee? They do not take into consideration the contexts of the claims in the Gospel of John. Yes, other people besides those you mention can...

    Salvation not based on our merit

    The passage to which you refer in your answer is the following, @Webster: Eze 36:24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. Eze 36:25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and...

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    Your list uses the word "metaphorical" truth. I think that you missed the discussion on poetic descriptions in your English classes. I was an English teacher with an English master's degree. When Jesus was speaking, he was not claiming to be a door or shepherd. He was using figurative words to...

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    @MoreCoffee, here are Jesus' seven "I AM" statements comparing himself to objects, actions, or people for spiritual lessons by claiming his deity: Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” Joh 6:34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread...

    What do you think the cup used at the Last Supper was made from?

    The Bible doesn't say, I don't care, and it doesn't matter in the way the Bible presents the truth.

    The actual Body and Blood, or just symbolic?

    He didn't mean that the disciples should come up and nibble on his leg or arm, did he? It's called a metaphor comparing a physical with a spiritual reality.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    @brightfame52, you love to quote single verses while ignoring their contexts. Jesus was not talking about every single person coming to faith: Joh 12:28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” Joh 12:29 The crowd that...

    Ye are gods

    Yes, he said that, but the title "son of God" is also used for men who were descended from Adam, who was made by God, as well as angels: Gen_6:2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Gen_6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth...
