    The Truth About Saul

    @JustTheFacts, why don't you just summarize your "facts" for us? My opinion is that your so-called "facts" rely on your suspicions of fraud that you look for in the Bible but that they aren't really there. Your assumption that the false teachers altered Scripture has made you look for...

    When Gold told Ezekiel he would kill his wife...

    The whole chapter describes the situation. The king of Babylon is besieging Jerusalem, will overcome it, and will take Judah into exile. God commands Ezekiel to avoid mourning outwardly, though he grieved inwardly over his wife's death. Mourning for Jerusalem's fall was also forbidden, because...

    What are anti-Pauline believers missing?

    @JustTheFacts, again, you have no proof that Nicodemus wrote anything in the New Testament but instead rely on your expertise, which is a non-biblical approach. I'm especially sensitive to your approach because of the following: I grew up in a theologically-liberal or neo-orthodox church that...

    What are anti-Pauline believers missing?

    As I've said to you previously, JustTheFacts, the fact that you rely on your "expert analyst and fraud investigator" experiences themselves outside of Scripture shows that your analysis is flawed. Instead, depend on the Bible's own assumptions, teachings, and history to interpret it. You depend...

    What are anti-Pauline believers missing?

    Yes, all of them!

    One sign of Original Sin

    In watching DJT since the assassination attempt, I have detected a mellowing, perhaps humbling in him. Perhaps, God is working in his life.

    How did the early church view "Peter as the rock"?

    No, all the resurrection accounts confirm that Jesus' resurrection is a historical fact; the eyewitnesses convinced me of it to provide God's basis for my faith when I was 16. Okay, show me step-by-step from prophecy and Jesus' words why you believe that false teachers took over the early...

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    That's very true, Fuddy, but they brought it on themselves, sadly.

    Adam and Eve

    True.

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    God has knocked all of the proud thinking out of me by making me see that I might be wrong about my interpretation of prophecy. It's hard to know exactly what the numbers mean for absolute certainty, for example, whether or not they are figurative or literal. So, I just say that I'll wait to...

    Can we know God? If so, how?

    You're right, Lamb, but the Bible speaks such words as "know God" to impress on us that we can know him in a deep, loving, personal relationship that is far beyond knowing about him. I'm planning to write a book as a biblical survey about the subject.

    Prayer practises.

    If you request anything from a saint or Mary, how can you be certain that they hear you? They are limited human creatures, who are not everywhere, the way God is. They are in heaven, not on the earth anymore, since their bodies have been buried, unless you subscribe to the unbiblical notion of...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    You're right that we shouldn't "focus" on Jesus' second coming, but it's the basis for our hope. Jesus did talk about his raising believers from the grave "on the last day": Jhn_6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise...

    Mariology

    What is your information that the false teachers took over the early, pre-Roman church? I have given you information on the people who resisted the heretics who tried to take it over but were unsuccessful.

    Bound for Hell, not God's fault

    You are right to say that we are not predestined to die in our sin. God chooses believers for salvation, but as a result he permits unbelievers to go the way their lives want to go in relying on their many idols for comfort and security. Sadly, I hope and pray that the people of LA will turn to...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    In Romans 5:10, Paul is talking about the fact that we were enemies when God saved us through his gift of faith by his grace. That's why it's his grace, because we were his enemies at the time he saved us.

    Mariology

    Even more Mariology information: Once people began to worship the mother more than the child, Babylonian priests felt forced to issue an edict deifying the mother also. After the passage of still more time, "her son's birth was boldly declared to be miraculous, and therefore she was called...

    Mariology

    More infomation about Mariology: But the cult with the greatest influence on early Christianity, according to Benko, was that of the Great Mother (Magna Mater). Known in western Asia Minor as Cybele, she was to become the model for Mariology. Throughout the region, many priests of the new...

    Mariology

    More interesting analysis of Mary's prominence: The goddess, Semiramis, was also known as Ishtar, Astarte, Ashtoreth: the original Queen of Heaven (Jeremiah 44:15–19). Her son, Tammuz, joined her in creating the world's first mother/son cult. The cult spread to Egypt as Isis and Osiris, Venus...

    Mariology

    Doctrine was further refined by a series of influential theologians and teachers, known collectively as the Church Fathers.[35] From the year 100 onward, proto-orthodox teachers like Ignatius of Antioch and Irenaeus defined Catholic teaching in stark opposition to other things, such as...
