    oh, I thought you were trying to tell me the laces are grey and the sneaker is green. But now you're trying to tell me the laces are green and the sneaker is grey. Quit pulling my leg. No one would put green laces on a grey sneaker. it only makes sense to put white laces on a pink sneaker.

    Is Luke 22:42 about Jesus or Adam?

    It does answer the question because Adam was not commanded to eat of the tree. He was commanded not to eat of it. God did not command Adam "you must eat of this tree and die".

    Is Luke 22:42 about Jesus or Adam?

    I make the connection between Adam and Christ as where the first having failed, the second did not. Adam was commanded not to eat of the tree. He failed. Jesus was commanded to drink of the cup (lay down his life). He did not fail.

    Circumcision - Paul vs. Abraham

    It seems that Paul's argument is that Abraham believed God's promises and therefore God imputed righteousness to Abraham because he believed even before Abraham was circumcised. And that circumcision was a sign of that covenant of promise. It signified the cutting off of the sins of the flesh...

    Circumcision - Paul vs. Abraham

    What's interesting is that circumcision only applied to one of the sexes, whereas ALL are required to repent and believe the gospel. Another interesting thing is that an eight day old child cannot repent or believe the gospel.

    Christians: Why are “few” on the road to life?

    Maybe he doesn't know them because they don't know him.

    The Afterlife!

    Jesus said that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. When death is destroyed so too is the ability to sin because the wages of sin is death. So, no one raised to life eternal will have any desire of the flesh to sin against God. They will be as God's angels in heaven. The angels spoken of...

    Melchizedek as Angel

    The writer of Hebrews asks an important question: "Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after...

    The Afterlife!

    By the term "afterlife" I assume you mean the life that comes after resurrection from the dead. According to the Scriptures of the Bible. Only the faithful in Christ will experience life eternal by resurrection from the dead. They do the will of God. Heaven for the faithful. The grave for...

    Do you believe after death life?

    sounds right to me.

    Is this ANGEL Yahweh himself?

    In his speech in Acts 7, Stephen says that the Jews "received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it." Acts 7:53 And Paul says that the law was "ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator." Gal 3:19 When Moses was on Mount Sinai, God spoke to him and said: "Behold, I...

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    What I find interesting is that what they say is a mystery to the logical mind and incomprehensible and against reason is the same thing they say one needs to believe in order to be saved. I understand God is a much higher being than we could even imagine. But it's no mystery that there is NONE...

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    I recall reading of an early Christian writer, I think it was Origin, who wrote about how the Jews believed God had a physical body. I believe as those Jews did. The word "image" refers to a physical representation. Jesus says "they will see God" and "the angels do always behold the face of my...

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    Jesus has manifested or declared the one true God who resides in heaven. That God is Jesus' God.

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    John might also be borrowing the language of the Scripture which speaks of wisdom as a woman. Wisdom is personified as a woman even though it's not a woman. Wisdom comes from God Himself. Like when God granted wisdom to Solomon. God didn't put a woman in Solomon. John seems to be speaking of...

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    I don't have a problem with Thomas referring to Jesus as LORD and God because the angel whom Jesus has now been exalted above was called LORD God. The angel wasn't the one true God, because He no man has seen. Even Moses spoke face to face to the LORD God, as a man speaks to his friend, but...

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    I might say that God's angels were involved in creation. Many Jewish scholars believed that the "US" in "Let US make man in OUR image" refers to angels.(and God Himself) Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man...

    The Trinity in the NT (my belief)

    The Targumists believed that "the word of YHVH" was a Mediator between man and the one true God. They recognized that there were TWO YHVH's spoken of, but they did not believe they were both the one true God. According to Scripture, the other YHVH was the angel of YHVH who was sent by the one...
