    when is marriage supper of the lamb when us it according to you

    @Holy999, I would say only what Jesus says in the following three verses, that no one knows when he will come: Mat_24:44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Mat_24:50 the master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect...

    Ask, Seek, Knock

    @Lamb, first, as usual, the context helps us out, at least a little bit: Mat 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Mat 7:8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened...

    Where is the proof that if the body dies that the body is the same body afterwards same unchanging awareness

    @Frankj, I'm afraid that you're taking an idea out of its context when you say that being like the angels "implies not male and female but non-sexual at all." Jesus was just referring to our marital state in response to a ridiculous trap posed by the Pharisees: Mat 22:30 For in the...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Why do you even quote such outlying ideas, @MoreCoffee? That's not what most evangelical people would say.

    Where is the proof that if the body dies that the body is the same body afterwards same unchanging awareness

    @Holy999, when our bodies die, our souls go to God, while our bodies go to dust. When Jesus returns, we who trust in Jesus will be raised from the dead. I believe the Bible says that our bodies will be these same, but spiritually-transformed (that is, filled with and guided by the Spirit) bodies...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    @MoreCoffee, are you sure that those evangelical Christians said that "the Bible is God in the sense of being incarnate Word"? What in the world did they mean by that description, and what do you think they meant, if they said it that way?

    How to identify a valid pastor.

    @VeritatisVerba, I don't care whether or not they claim to be biblical, but I think that we must discern through attendance and questioning whether or not they are biblical in their approach to the whole Scripture. That means that we must know what the Bible says in evaluating pastors in its light.

    Is freewill biblical or something we invented as society ?

    For about 11 years, I left God's call to be a pastor to be an English teacher and then a sales manager instead, but God renewed his old call and sent me into the church ministry to 7 congregations until it was time for me to retire from being a pastor to become a published author. The last two...

    How to identify a valid pastor.

    Compare every bit of their preaching and teaching with the Bible's truths in the context of the whole Scriptures, and you will determine their faithfulness to God.

    Confession of sins

    Interesting suggestion, @jswauto! However, the Lord is already my Lord and Savior and will always be. He has already stood in my place before the Father, who has justified all my sins as "not guilty" because of Jesus' death. Therefore, the model of Jesus' Lord's Prayer for us to ask for God's...

    Early Christian writings along with the NT...

    @pinacled, it is my understanding that the Dead Sea Scrolls have confirmed the accuracy of the LXX in comparison with the Hebrew text. What enemy of the Jewish people do you think "prove their supposed dominance over them" by causing the LXX to be translated?

    Iam not going to be shadow ( lukewarm ) .

    Yep, @Lamb. I think that Paul in that verse is also talking about the spiritual baptism brought by the Holy Spirit when we first believe. Of course, "Lord" refers to Jesus.

    Is freewill biblical or something we invented as society ?

    @Edward429451, then it's probably from God, but of course, if it ever contradicted the Word, it wouldn't be. I get the same peace from God after persistent lamenting my losses.

    Apart from Me, you can do nothing

    @Edward429451, notice the context. In Jesus' metaphor with the background of Psalm 80:8-16, Jesus is the vine; the Father is the vineyard keeper; and, later in the chapter, the Holy Spirit is the Helper/Witness on behalf of the Father so that we can become his witnesses too (the "grapes" that...

    What is sin?

    @WandererAtHeart, when I share the gospel with unbelievers who are unfamiliar with the word "sin," they will agree with me that nobody's perfect. However, I go on to say that God expects perfection but that Jesus' perfect life, death in my place, and resurrection is the perfection the Father...

    Jesus will save you if you.... ???

    @Edward429451, I think that the Bible says that God PERMITS or ALLOWS Adam and Eve's fall and Jonah's rebellion; he doesn't cause them to happen. Therefore, God is not responsible; people are. If a practicing, unrepentant homosexual person wants to join my church, as with all people, he has to...

    Iam not going to be shadow ( lukewarm ) .

    @Lamb, I agree with Luther that it's "by baptism" that these things happen, but it's our spiritual baptism that comes with our new birth, not with physical baptism, which is our acknowledgement of God's salvation.

    are you a citizen of heaven

    @Holy999, since the Bible doesn't say, I don't know. It's useless to speculate about it.

    Things the Lord won't do for you?

    True, @Lamb. Temptation to sin comes from our sinful natures, the devil, or the tempting world around us.
