If this is accurate then I could easily accept this. It seems to fit well with the rest of scripture.

Jesus was referring to being the messiah. Believing Jesus is God as part of the gospel is not something that is stated in scripture. John 4 25The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.” 26Jesus answered, “I who speak to you...

I would offer some expansion on this in reference to what Jesus said about himself and God. Jesus was never called most of these titles, including Mighty God and Everlasting Father, and he denied both. I believe the Isaiah 9:6,7 passage you quoted carries a different meaning than the way it is...

Interesting question and it deserves attention because it raises some important questions. If Jesus raised himself from the dead then he didn't die. A human body died, but the real Jesus didn't die. If Jesus is a human with a humans soul and human spirit then we don't have a problem and the...

Okay, but this is what the Bible says happens. They are resurrected, judged, then sent to the "second death" where they die again. It might seem like a waste of time, but if you look at it from a legal perspective it's actually just and righteous. John 5 28Do not be amazed at this, for the hour...

The final judgement that results in a verdict to eternal life or death in the lake of fire is all works based. It's all about the the good or evil one has done. I don't want to make this long just for conciseness, but I hope this helps. Romans 2 7To those who by perseverance in doing good seek...

I think he did not. The wording in John 2:22 is stated as such that he wouldn't have been the one who did it. The thing is, if Jesus (all of Jesus) didn't die on the cross then Jesus didn't actually die. Jesus was still alive somewhere. The problem with this is that if that's true, then there...

I mean how the post was separated into parts and explained well.

And Jesus taught his disciples to pray directly to the Father and not himself. Matt 6 6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not babble on like...

loving your breakdown of scripture. it's clear and logical. i agree.

It's the same on all forums; it's as diverse as there are different denominations, which by some estimates is ~200 in the USA alone, there are more than 100 Bible versions translated into English, and there are numerous base texts from which the Bibles are translated. The base texts don't say...

It depends on what sense you mean by accepting doctrinal differences. Insofar as accepting that people exist who attach their non-Biblical doctrines to the Bible, then yes I accept it. There is no way to change that. Do I accept them insofar as coddling and enabling them to distort scripture? I...
