Have you considered that he was pointing the listeners to Psalm 22 to show the "audience" (as he had insisted before) that He is the One the Scriptures spoke about. Is it not strange to you that he mirrored the exact words of this Psalm. Yet this psalm is not one of abandonment but is ultimately...
YEs the post above says so in Jesus' own words:
"the Son of Man came to minister AND TO GIVE HIS LIFE A RANSOM FOR MANY."
Are you calling Jesus a liar? I thought that you thought that He was a prophet, a prophet does not lie about why God sent him.
From the mouth of Jesus (not some two bit apologist):
Matthew 20:27 - 28 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
St. Mark 10:44-45 And whosoever of you...
First of all you need to accept that this will be with you until the day you die or when the Lord comes.
Secondly you should get encouragement fromt he fact the you are not comfortable with the darkness in you and long to be freed from it, this shows that there is an inner conflict, the grace...
Drat! What a pity you got banned, I never saw this post until today, I would have been more than happy to discuss this with you dear brother.
1) We don't choose God.
2) I believe the new birth follows saving faith as a consequence, I do not believe faith is a consequence of the new birth...
I take it as seriously as fairies living in my garden with regards to how credible I believe it to be but I regard it as serious as cancer with regards to it's opposition to the bible.
You're allah didn't think it evil, he commends it:
(10:94) Now, if you are in doubt concerning what We have revealed to you, then ask those who have been reading the Book before you. It is the truth that has come to you from your Lord, so do never become one of those who doubt,
According to...
How a so called Christian leader can express respect for a religion which in a good many of the countries it has power oppresses and kills so many Christians, Jews, Bahai and any one else who believes so differently says as much about the Catholic church as it does Islam. They are a match made...
I have been reading the bondage of the will by Martin Luther, here are a couple of quote I take issue with which also typify calvinist doctrine.
"This is the highest degree of faith - to believe that He is merciful, who saves so few and damns so many; to believe Him just, who according to His...
Revelation 10:9-10 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in...
That passage did not call for rape and even if it did it does not mean that God commanded it or approved of it, Judges is a historical account - a history book. As the narrator said every man did what was right in his own eyes (not the eyes of God).
There is an account of rape in the same...
Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
Does this passage look like the bible condoning and approving of rape? (even though there is no rape in this account but a taking of wives). Does this passage that I have posted rather...
What's the point of debating someone who's best answer is to find a few of the myriad of english translations out there that suit them best whilst ignoring the ones that don't? I love a good Jesus is God /Trinity debate but if you can't agree on a book of reference that you are proving from then...
Other than supposed recorded events about Jesus in the BOM of mormon what does it tell you about Jesus? From what I have read in the BOM it is presented as a historical narrative as are the gospels but is there any exposition of His Person such as in John's and Pauls letters i.e teaching of...
