    Only A Select Few

    Only a select few are called to be Christians in this age. This is why James 1:18 says: “Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of FIRSTFRUITS of His creatures”. This “firstfruits” usage implies there is a greater harvest to come. There are many other...

    If you claim any sort of belief in the Bible--

    Yes pretty much. Do you not think so?

    Worldwide church of God

    Wondering also. I think their teachings on the gospel and the meaning of life are very scripturally sound but VERY unpopular among the majority of professing Christians. I was not born yet when that group dissolved but I find myself aligned with that church’s teachings the most.

    Why Does God Only Speak Through Humans?

    You mentioned in your post how if God did it your way you would be intrigued. Well first off God’s not trying to intrigue anybody. Also, by doing it the way He does gives people like you room to DISbelieve because, as you mentioned, it would be very easy to “convert” you if He was to appear in a...

    Jesus ain't God.

    Okay, so my understanding is that by quoting those scriptures to me, you are discrediting my belief that "firstborn from the dead" means firstborn from the dead as I had said above in my quote: "the first and only human as of yet who has died and resurrected to immortality." So let's just say I...

    Jesus ain't God.

    No, you can't fit that interpretation in with "firstborn from the dead". It's a giant leap to say "first born from the dead" = "first believed to be the Messiah". Why not just take it as it reads? Firstborn from the dead. :) Yes but Jesus is the only one who has accomplished it.

    Jesus ain't God.

    Sorry, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic by saying "good point" but my guess is that you are since the rest of what you say seems to contrast your first sentence. Having said that, let's see what you're talking about: Revelation 1:5 calls Him the firstborn from the dead. Isn't that true...

    Jesus ain't God.

    John 1:1 came along and assures us it has been so SINCE THE BEGINNING and not just some new concept. I don't believe they forsook monotheism.

    4000 year old Mesopotamian Ark story

    That is what people have said, and you choose to embrace it. Nothing wrong with that. You seem to place a lot of faith in humanity's knowledge and their conclusions. I can't say the same thing but okay. I think the highlighted red text is the main difference in our opinions. You say it...

    4000 year old Mesopotamian Ark story

    How do you know a whole earth flood has NEVER taken place? Have we been here as long as the earth to say so for sure? But if you do know somehow, I'm open to hear it.

    4000 year old Mesopotamian Ark story

    Isn't this what is to be expected if it actually took place?

    the right religion

    The right "religion" cannot be reached unless God extends the invitation to us. What did Jesus say? "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him" (John 6:44).

    what do you think?

    God is allowing the world to take its natural course without Him, and the result is that the strong oppress the weak. But it will come to an end. He will "set at liberty those who are oppressed" (Luke 4:18).

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    Everyone who has died will resurrect. "...there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and the unjust" (Acts 24:15). But I don't know where you get the idea that God has preordained them to die.

    Who taught Christianity to Paul?

    Well, here is whom Paul says taught him: "I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 1:12).
