    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...

    The basics of Christian theology

    But, @Lamb, I'm saying that it is not automatic. People settle at a certain spiritual level if their old nature doesn't like change, whereas God gives us many commands to encourage us with his goals for our spiritual lives. Then, if we ignore those commands, God has to allow certain struggles or...

    When we are on the new earth.Like in the book of revelation.Will we know all?And be almost all powerful?

    No, @jesus lover, our bodies will be perfect and glorified with God's glory, but the Bible doesn't give many more details. However, only God is all-powerful and all-knowing. We are merely his creatures.

    That's really sad, @Can't think of a name. Do you want to see biblical sermons? If so, use the Internet to go to chapel-pointe.org, and click on "Media." That's my church here in West Michigan. We're spoiled here with many biblical churches and Christians. You will continue on my prayer list...

    Addictions

    I think that you are making progress by rejecting the guru's advice. You also are right to realize that smoking pot is related to your dreams. Now, the next step might be to muster up the courage that God has given you to decide to shake those destructive habits of smoking pot and drinking...

    @Can't think of a name, thank you for your story. I'm at a loss to suggest anything that can help you. Have you checked into a hospital like the one I suggested, Pine Rest in Grand Rapids, Michigan? They helped me start on the road to recovery from my major depression; and since they are...

    Addictions

    I just read your first post, @Can't think of a name. Do you get drunk, or do you control your drinking so that you don't get drunk? I suggest that you seek Christian psychological help to find out the source of your pain, urges, and paranoia. It might have been some event in your childhood...
