161 | Why would someone get rebaptised? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 42569 | ||
Hello Raven Grace is unmerited favor. If Noah had done or been anything worthy of receiving it, it would not have been grace. It would have been his due. Wonder of wonders that God could ever look at you or me. Romans 5:8 (ESV) "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Steve |

Hello Raven As one who is not blinded by the Calvinist viewpoint, I can say you are out of line in your reasoning of inherited sin. We ARE judged by what Adam did, and Joe has demonstrated that. Also, it appears you are making accusations of Joe that are unfounded. I suspect you owe him an apology. Steve |

Hello Judith What Scripture which attests that... 1. the serpent was the first creature out of hell? 2. Cain is 50 precent bad on his father side and 100 precent good on his mother side? 3. Cain never died before or during the flood? 4. Cain was a son of Noah? Steve |

164 | Raven, do you want ALL the Law? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 45821 | ||
Hello RAVEN You are correct. The word of God dwells in us. Joe is absolutely correct. Examination of the Scriptures clearly shows that Almighty God does indeed dwell within us. Just because God is too great to be contained by any created thing does not mean He cannot have His presence dwell there. God dwelt in both the tabernacle and temple (Exod 25:8,22). He dwells in believers as well. Steve |

Hello RAVEN Wait a minute. First, you prove that God can live in mortal flesh (Jesus Christ), and then you tell me it's impossible for God to live in mortal flesh. Which is it? And where do you get the idea that having the Holy Spirit dwelling in us gives us the right to live a wanton lifestyle? Go read Romans 6. Of course God wants us to reflect His attributes. That's part of the reason the Holy Spirit indwells us (Rom 8; 1 Cor 2; Gal 5:16-18). And having the Holy Spirit indwelling us does not make Him a partaker of our sin. There are two spirits at work here--God's and mine. He doesn't possess us like a demon, taking over complete control. Steve |

166 | Where does Jesus say He is God? | Bible general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 45916 | ||
Hello IneffableUniverse Of course I claim to know the truth. Jesus Christ claimed to be the truth. He promised the Holy Spirit would lead us into all truth. You said: "Also, when Jesus uses the word "Son", is it possible that He meant "son" (lower case S) to indicate that we are ALL sons and daughters of God?" No. Christ used a definite article when calling Himself "the" Son. To indicate we are all "sons" in our present state, the proper grammar would be to use an indefinite article ("a" son). Steve |

Hello Nancy Sorry that I'm lax in responding. I don't know the truth because I'm a devout Christian. Rather, I know the one who called himself the truth (Jesus Christ)--not just that he had the truth (he did), but he was the source of truth. The other teachings you mentioned point to another for truth. Jesus pointed to himself. I trust him, not just his words. Steve |

Hello Nancy One could say Jesus was pointing to himself. I think it's more accurate that he drew attention to himself to point to God. He certainly exposed the hypocrisy of the priests as a way of drawing that attention. I would like to see what you have on turning the other cheek. If you like, you can e-mail it to me at srbricker@hotmail.com Steve |

Hello Nancy While Makarios is pondering his usual capable response (and he is quite capable), I'll take a poke at this. Your conclusions from Dr. Ehrman's teaching appears to be more emotional than factual simply because of the capitalization you used for emphasis. The argument of what has/has not been altered over the centuries is simply not valid. Textual critics will acknowledge that greater than 90 percent (and actually closer to 95 percent) of the Bible is in agreement across all manuscripts, papyrii, fragments, etc. Most of the remainder is minor copyist error that does not affect doctrine. The final portions are words or sentences left out from one to the other. This final group is the only one where alterations could have occurred. You are correct that language changes so that meaning can be lost. We see that between the King James Bible and modern English translations. However, that is why we have those who study ancient languages--to get the intended meaning and state it properly. And lastly, how can you say Jesus said many profound and wise things when you do not believe the documents from which they come are factual? Steve |

OK, I can wait for Ehrman. I can get more educated on "Q". Steve |

Hello Serenetime "Careful" was a perfectly good word to use as it was understood when KJV was translated. There are several English words that have adjusted their meanings in 400 years. The modern definition of "awful" is "extremely bad or unpleasant." Back then, the defintion was closer to "full of awe." In the same way "careful" was "full of care" (i.e. anxious). Steve |

Hello Serenetime My point was that the English language has changed from 1611 to now. "Careful" used to have the idea of "anxiety," now it means more like "attentive." So when Philippians has "Be careful for nothing," it is a good translation in King James English. That's all. Steve |

Hello Serentime I certainly get your drift. But if we lived in 1611, there would be no misunderstanding at all. :-) Steve |

Hello dschaertel You continue to make statements concerning all these supposed canon lists, yet the only one you attempt to cite is Josephus (and that without proper reference). You need to document this claim. Steve |

Hello dschaertel I don't think you know what infallibility is. Infallible - adj. 1.Incapable of erring: an infallible guide; an infallible source of information. 2.Incapable of failing; certain: an infallible antidote; an infallible rule. 3.Roman Catholic Church. Incapable of error in expounding doctrine on faith or morals. www.dictionary.com Steve |

Hello Brian The M-W definition certainly softens the word. But I maintain my position. "Liable" implies a possibility or probability of incurring something because of position, nature, or particular situation. I must conclude that the pope IS liable because even the best popes historically made (and continue to make) declarations based on Roman Catholic tradition rather than Scripture. Frankly, I don't trust my wife as much as you trust the pope. Steve |

Hello luvconquers I freely acknowledge the atrocities you have stated, but you are attributing the evil that men has done in the guise of Christendom to true faith in the living God and His beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Are you a Jew, then, that you would say Christianity began by defiling God's name? Steve |

Hello dschaertel "Roman Catholic Church" was italicized indicating this definition is used by the RCC only. Steve |
