    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    Luk 7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a FRIEND of publicans and sinners! Mat 26:50 (KJV) And Jesus said unto him, FRIEND, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. Is there a difference...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    And I totally agree. But we weren't talking about "BEING" a Christian at first. We were talking about first "BECOMING" a Christian. And that's where we disagreed. And this simply may not be the forum for you because of your struggle with the language. A struggle I acknowledged you have and...

    JOH 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. There is no "the end"...to the price Jesus paid for the sins of ALL "past and present and future ones," He paid it ALL...for ALL....FOREVER. But any sin you commit now...

    My agnostic friend says: "I don't need it." - How would you respond?

    Like my signature lines says "I was a lost and the shepherd FOUND ME." That is the only ONE CHANCE anyone has to get saved. And I have thanked God for His "CALLING" me. A "calling" which I received after His "PREDESTINING" me to His "DRAWING". JOH 6:44 No man can come to me, except the...

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    I see what you're saying Carl....but feel there is still misunderstanding as to this last sentence above. I don't know of a scripture anywhere that says The Holy Spirit (of the trinity) indwelled Jesus from conception. The Holy Spirit of God is the source that all the supernatural power of God...

    Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul (nephesh) delighteth; I have put my spirit (ruwach ) upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul...

    MAT 26:37 ....He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. (soulish emotions and attributes) MAT 26:38 Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. His soul never 'died', but it was tempted with death by his FLESH in the Garden. He prayed twice and His soul...

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    Jesus wasn't instrumental in creation, only the WORD was. And the WORD was not visible because the FATHER, WORD, HOLY SPIRIT were all three invisible SPIRIT. JOH 4:24 God is spirit, LUK 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh...

    I have.....starting about the time you were born, and for 10 years thereafter. :innocent: . And yet Christians have been DEAD and PERISHING in their graves for 2 millenium???? What does "GOD DESIRE" and what is His ultimate "WILLING"? 2PE 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise...

    IMO Jesus wasn’t praying he was personally forgiving the ‘temporal punishment’ of the sin of those crucifying him. He was not forgiving he ‘eternal consequence’. The same was true for Stephen when he was stoned to death. The same was true for those repenting and being baptized by John. ETERNAL...

    You just said we were off topic, so I just went back to your OP and quoted the first line. :hmhehm In my opinion 2,000 year old "Judaism as a religion"... WAS, and still is, " anti-Christ". MAT 27:25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" 26 Then he released...

    Many temples MAY be built before the end, I don't know. I personally don't believe that a temple from some Kabbalah Jewish sect (from the 13th century) OR any other type of "Interfaith" temple would be a temple that modern Jews would 'mingle' with. I believe that the temple they are hoping to...

    ACT 7:48 Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? I agree with your position, and have held that position for a long...

    The physical TEMPLE system fulfilled its use of the blood of animals and their temporal dealing with sin for a year. JOH 2:20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 1CO 3:16...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Yes, there are CHRISTIANS that don't. o_O According to Wickipedia anyway; " The Filioque controversy is a religious debate between Western and Eastern Christianity over the addition of "and the Son" to a clause of the Nicene Creed, thus making the Son coequal with the Father. The Filioque...

    I still didn't find it Carl. Are you talking about scrolling to page one of 'this threads heading'? I'm not finding "WATCH THREAD" I'm finding "WATCHED THREADS" which only has 2 options, neither of which is what I think you are talking about.

    No, I have not been getting notifications. Just came to check and was surprised at how many posts there have been. :( And it will take a while to catch up on my reading now.

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    I would agree but this verse did come to mind as soon as I paused and reflected; ROM 12:6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith;

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    Before I decide which "body" is being spoken of in the "Joel 2 context", we ALL need to know that on these forums we have a common problem. The 'LENSES' we are all 'indoctrinated by man 'to see with, is a problem and I include myself. I appear to be fairly alone IMO so far, based upon my...

    Friendly Bible Study - participants must agree to Nicene Creed.

    I have to admit that I long struggled with the Joel prophesy when it ended with "all flesh". Then I read a book 20+years ago by Rick Joyner. In that book he said that the Greek and Hebrew words for "all flesh" could have an alternative rendering. Hebrew 3605 kol: prop. the whole; hence all...
