    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    Creeds are basically someone's commentary and theology. They couldn't agree that any of them would be included in the canonized Bible.

    What is YOUR "thorn in the flesh"?

    Yet even Jesus needed a savior... Hebrews 5 7Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

    What is YOUR "thorn in the flesh"?

    Yet Jesus even has a God like we all do. John 20 17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

    What is YOUR "thorn in the flesh"?

    Yet even Jesus had God's grace because he needed it like all people do. Luke 2 40And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    Yes, but there is something older than the creeds. So the creeds are new ideas, relatively speaking. That's why I say Catholics and Protestants and liberal. Very few of the creeds can be found to say the same exact kind of things the Old and New Testament do. I could possibly agree that a...

    What Is The Difference Between Liberal, Conservative and Fundamentalist Christians?

    A liberal Christian would be a Christian who believes church creeds and commentaries are of equal or greater importance than Scripture. In my point of view, this encompasses most of church. For example, the Catholics are most liberal and Protestant less liberal than the Catholics. Conservative...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    People don't have the benefit of asking the writers questions about what they meant. So that is why there are over 47K denominations, sub-denominations, sects, and cults who all attach their beliefs to the Bible. Everyone is simply interpreting what they think it's saying. Some can be correct...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    After much change he must have reached a point where he isn't changing anymore.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Well, John 1:9, though the KJV is a bit awkward with it, is actually written in the present tense. So after John the Baptist was already bearing witness of the true Light coming into the world, the true light was coming into the world. Since this is what JTB was bearing witness of, this would...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    My argument has never been nor ever will be that God is confused and contradicting himself. I believe you have wrongly come to that conclusion, like so many others have, because you will never change, as you have already confessed, therefore you can't be wrong. Essentially, you have made me a...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    The Jesus being the same "yesterday, today, and forever" doesn't speak to eternally unchanging. Jesus has changed a lot.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    John 1:10 does not say Jesus made the world. Read verse 9... the true Light was coming into the world in the present tense when Jesus would have been at about the age of 30. The true Light made the world.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Jesus is a man, not a spirit or The Spirit, according to Scripture, though he later "became" a life-giving spirit at God's discretion.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    He came out with the same conditional mortality as he had in the first place. Can God give life and take life way?

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Jesus has always been the same. Therefore he has always been a man and will always be a man. God is not a man. Hebrews 13 (KJV) 8Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Ceasing sin activity is a point in the KJV as well. Down goes your argument. John 5 (KJV) 14Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. 1 Cor. 15 (KJV) 34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Jesus is a man descended from Adam who never sinned. Though he was tempted in all ways a normal human is (Hebrews 4:15) he chose not to sin though he hypothetically could have had he decided to because temptation refers to a desire. Jesus told people they can stop sinning such as in John 8:11...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Sin isn't based on technicalities and inheritance. People sin simply when they break God's laws by choice. Do you agree with that at least?

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Adam and Eve were sinless until they violated the commandment of God, yes? But sin didn't enter the world through them because it was already in the world. The first sinner was technically the talking snake who lied to them regarding their death, right? Yet Jesus was also descended geologically...

    The Way/Theosis/entire sanctification.

    Jesus also had the same needs as a regular baby, but we don't blame him do we? From a Biblical and personal observation I also have to disagree with you. How can God judge someone for what He is responsible for? The best answer is God is not morally or legally responsible for someone's choice to...
