Farouk noted above that Jesus is God. And John 1:1-4 and 14 prove that conclusively. Jesus also stated the He was God and that no one as ever seen the Father John 5:37; 6:46; 8:38; 10:30 (KJV) 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard...

What is the Gospel according to the revelation of Jesus Christ? It can't be any easier - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in...

I fail to see the 'link' between the 12 stones, one for each of the 12 tribes of Israel, being provided by God to cross the Jordan into the promised land and memorialized by leaving them there. It's not like Moses striking the rock and getting water as a 'picture' of Christ being the rock and...

Twelve Stones = One Rock? I'm at a loss to figure out how anyone could draw that conclusion from the verses: Joshua 4:8-9 (KJV) 8 And the children of Israel did so as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones out of the midst of Jordan, as the LORD spake unto Joshua, according to the number...

Once again, you're exemplified a lack of understanding Gods' Word. The Book of Hebrews is written TO JEWS, ie, ISRAEL. Under the law that all Jews are under back then, works is part of the law. The quoted scripture is referring to the fact that salvation due to works is dead. Period! Read...

So, in your opinion, and apparently that of the Roman Catholic church as well, baptism is sufficient for spending eternity in heaven with Jesus and the saints? Yes, I'm fully aware that Catechism #537 & 1213 state clearly state that. So, as a Catholic, WHAT does it take to 'earn' your way into...

In a few places in the KJV, the name Cephas is used to refer to Peter. Most notably, John 1:42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. (KJV) Why did Jesus call him a...

Responding to each of the verses used in the first post would take more time than I am willing to spend tonight. Between illogical use of a number of verses and/or taking them out of context the original post is beyond confusing. So here's a few verses and my thoughts: Just HOW does that...

In case anyone missed my post #140 in this thread, here's a condensed version of the need to look at context: Let's look at the word 'rock' as used in the Bible. It's used in a total of 119 times in 106 verses in the KJV. Old Testament - Exodus 17:6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon...

It’s been postulated by forum members in this thread and others that Ephesians 3:5 indicates that the Gospel of Grace through faith alone was made known to the other apostles and prophets at the same time. The question I have is WHEN was that time? Ephesians 3:5-6 (KJV) 5 Which in other ages...

I must say I’m of a different opinion on a number of details posted by multiple respondents in this thread. I’d like to clarify a few things so we’re all on the same page, or closer to it. Among other things, it appears that many on this forum as well as in this thread don’t follow some of the...

If that were true, then the entire old testament would not be scripture. Right?

The Catholic church claims that Peter was the first pope. That's impossible since the Catholic church wasn't created until some time after 300 AD! And using that false claim, obviously they 'extend' the ability to forgive sins to Catholic 'priest in a box'. Nowhere in the Bible does it show...

I am continually amazed about how effective the Roman Catholic Church is at brainwashing and controlling its membership. I was raised in the Episcopal church, which is essentially a Catholic church minus Latin, popes, nuns, transubstantiation, and, of course, Mary worship. I was not only an...

Apparently, I wasn't clear enough in what I wrote. When I said the gospel of the Kingdom, my thoughts are that that gospel was preached only to the Jews at Jesus' instructions in Matthew and Mark - here's one example Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the...

The only reference to 'twelve' in Pauls epistles are in reference to Jesus' resurrection. 1 Corintihians 15:3-5 (KJV) 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose...

It seems quite unlikely to me that the apostles and prophets referred to in Ephesians 3 were together at that time. Remember, Paul spent 3 years in Arabia learning of all the 'mysteries' directly from the Lord Jesus Himself. After the road to Damascus (a couple years(?) after Jesus ascension)...

One can choose what to believe and what not to believe in Gods' Word. One can believe 'embellishments' to His Word as well, if they choose. Let's look at the word 'rock' as used in the Bible. It's used in a total of 119 times in 106 verses in the KJV. In every occurrence, except ONE...

If one were to pick and choose what portions of the Bible to believe or not believe, everyone would end up choosing different parts and in no time at all, if everyone 'put their heads together', they'd throw the Bible in the trash. Perhaps the pick and choose 'theology' is due to ones'...

How many believers have committed the same sins as the fallen church leadership? I'd wager that many, if not all in this forum have. The leaders aren't alone, just more 'visible' thanks to the media, etc. Remember, too, that Satan works overtime to corrupt church leadership. By corrupting...
