I must apologize katzpur but I was trying to space out your quote and some of my words were included in your quotes from the above post. Please read through your quote and you will see my questions Again I apologize for my ignorance on postingKatzpur said:
He is the author of salvation because God gave Him this power. He spoke on behalf of His Father because He was expressly authorized to do so. Something is only plagurism when the source is ignored or not given the credit. Jesus Christ declined all of the power and glory for His sacrifice. He insisted that it be the Father's alone. He was the sacrificial Lamb. He did nothing except what His Father asked. Even when He prayed to His Father in the Garden of Gethsemane, terrified of what the future held, He said, "Not my will, but thine be done."Mujahid Mohammed said:
Sure. Go ahead. I'll answer your questions to the best of my ability.
When did Jesus ever say he was to die as the plan of salvation or he was the sacrificial Lamb and what I mean is not that he spoke on behalf of God but I mean if God is the author of salvation and the only savior as stated in Isaiah 43:10 how can people say Jesus is the author of confusion. And why does God need a sacrifice as he states in Hosea 6:6 that he does not. When does He, Jesus say God gave him through his sacrifice the power of salvation.Katzpur said:

Psalm 40:7 = THEN SAID I [Jesus], LO, I COME: IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME.Mujahid Mohammed said:
John 1:29 = THE NEXT DAY JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING UNTO HIM, AND SAITH, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.
Genesis 22:8 = AND ABRAHAM SAID, MY SON, GOD WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF A LAMB...(Note the play on words.)
He's talking about animal sacrifices here. He'd rather have mercy than a sacrifice. In other words, it's better not to do something bad, than to do it and be forgiven.
John 17:2 = AND THOU HAST GIVEN HIM POWER OVER ALL FLESH, THAT HE SHOULD GIVE ETERNAL LIFE TO AS MANY AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM.
God did in Psalm 12:6-7. To refine silver, you heat it until it turns liquid, then all the impurities rise to the top, and are sloughed off. The "impurities" of the 14 books of the Apocrypha were sloughed off.Mujahid Mohammed said:
Technically, the first son was Ishmael, born to Hagar and Abram in Genesis 16; but God changed Abram's name to Abraham in Genesis 17, and it was through Sarah and Abraham that Isaac was born.
I don't see that in that verse, nor am I familiar with the Holy Ghost riding a camel.
There are none. A contradiction is only a contradiction if one statement proves the other statement false. Otherwise, it's called a paradox.
Various men wrote it over a period of time, but God superintended the work. He Himself calls it the Word of God, not the Words of Men.
Protestants protested against various writs of the Catholic Church. They had their "days in court" so to speak, and exist today only in name.
Every man IS accountable for his own sins; but Jesus took the penalty upon Himself willingly. Technically it is known as the Vicarious Sacrifice.
He is the only son of Abraham and Sarah. Ishmael was from Abram and Hagar.
Yes
He didn't. Joshua tacked it on as an epilogue.
That was his (and Luke's) own personal style of writing.
Satan is a great imitator. He will actually convince people that he is god during the Tribulation.
It's not ... Jesus gets the credit for that. We were first called Christians in Antioch in 42 AD --- (Acts 11:26).Mujahid Mohammed said:
Jesus' geneologies are from the human line. If God was listed in there, it would say something like: and so-and-so begat God, who begat Jesus. This clearly doesn't make sense, and is even blasphemous.
Because Jesus came to Earth as a man, thus He was born of a woman.
There's no contradiction here. Paul makes it clear that those who decide to "stay back" and reside within the confines of the Law, will not be saved. Only those who "move ahead" and reside under the confines of He who fulfilled the Law will be saved.
No one is without sin, and that would include ALL the prophets, disciples, and apostles.
By rested it doesn't mean He sat down and recuperated. It means He finished His work. He chose that particular word because He used the 6 days of Creation and the 7th day of rest as an example that we should also rest on the Sabbath day.
Many of these manuscripts were not used by the common people. They knew them to be fake, and as such, didn't touch them. As a result, they lasted longer because they weren't being passed around. Later, archaeologists found these, and now we have all these marginal notes that say junk like: a better manuscript says this ... or the original manuscript says that.
God didn't want it in the Authorized Bible for some reason.
For one thing, they're too fragile to be displayed in public. For another thing, I believe the Vatican is off-limits to the public - (but I'm not sure). But take my word for it --- they're not correct --- they follow a corrupted line.
If you give a Bible to two people who have never read it before, have them read it, then ask just basic questions, you'll get two different answers. BUT, the more times those two people read it, the more and more they will start agreeing with each other.
The NIV and other mis-translations are copyrighted material. That means they must change the words by law, whether they need changed or not.
No
Yes
Um ... that's okay ... it's getting late.
My pleasure, Mujahid, I hope this has helps.
This is where your belief that everybody will attain the same resurrection becomes problematic. Jesus clearly said, "those who have done good will rise to life, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned". The Bible never calls God's condemnation a different degree of glory. In fact, it was such a fearful prospect that even God felt the need to intervene by sending his own Son to be condemned in our place - to be sin in sin's place so that "whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son" (John 3:18).Aqualung said:
You miss the point entirely. I know not one Christian who would not have himself baptized as Jesus commanded. The issue isn't whether baptism is necessary or not, but whether it has anything to do with any human priesthood.
Jesus also clearly said that we will not be judged by our works, but by what comes out of our hearts. When asked by one group of people if they would go to Heaven, Jesus said "the politicians and harlots will get to Heaven before you do. . ."
You didn't finish that verse, EH. Here it is in it's entirety:EnhancedSpirit said:
The door to what exactly, and what is He salvation from?AV1611 said:
I'm going to start a thread in the religios descussion, christianity, christianity in general are, especially for Mujahid Mohammed. The thread has gotten off track, and I'd like to keep it on that topic. Thank you in advance, Majuhid and AV1611 for taking your discussion there.Maize said:
The key word here is "righteousness" - being justified before God. When sin isn't taken into account, and faith is counted as righteousness, then a person stands before God blameless. Jesus made this possible. But he was also making sure that people knew exactly what their chances were without him:EnhancedSpirit said:
First of all, it's not the same resurection. IT's a resurection to glory, but not the same glory. And as for rising to life or to condemnation, this speaks of Jesus's millenial reign. The bad will be punished during his millenial reign, but then they will rise to the lowest degree of glory. The truely bad people are the only ones who will be cut off from god forever, as spoken of in rev. Those with the mark of the devil on their forhead will be the ones who suffer the eternal cutting off, the second spiritual death.Jenyar said:
His father's house is just what he uses to describe that general place where people go after the millenium, when people are given their rewards.Jenyar said:
