Jesus is the message God wanted to communicate in the flesh, even as scripture is the message God communicates via written words. What is so difficult to comprehend about that?

God communicated himself via the written word and via the word in the flesh. The word, the communication, the message was with God, He knew what He wanted to communicate and how he wanted to communicate in the beginning. He fore knew all

God communicates in various ways, He communicates what He wants us to know via the written word, the incarnate word and other ways. God knew what the written word would say in the beginning. He also knew what the incarnate word would communicate as well, in the beginning. None of that was a...

Why? I am replying to the opening post.

The Bible is the word of God, isn't it? Is the Bible God? Did the Bible make all things?

Show us that from the scripture. Exodus 24:12 And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to me into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and a law, and commandments which I have written; that thou mayest teach them.

If we use Webster's to define "divine" we have the following: DIVINE adjective 1. Pertaining to the true God; as the divine nature; divine perfections. 2. Pertaining to a heathen deity, or to false gods. 3. Partaking of the nature of God. Half human, half divine 4. Proceeding from God; as...

Our salvation is certainly not based on our believing or works, it is based on the works of Jesus Christ who did the works God told him to do. Romans 5:9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. We, who believe, were justified by his blood...

You make a good point

You are right, I goofed up. That was a knee jerk response instead of a thoughtful one. I should be more careful in how I respond to people here, people have dismissed me, insulted me, used deragatory names against me so often on this website that my trained response is simple, it is to assume...

If you wish to turn rightly dividing the word of truth by picking passages to the issue at hand, into a negative, that is your loss.

I have been to cherry orchards to cherry pick. I don't see why cherry picking has to be negative, especially if you seek cherries I have favorite verses, I cherry picked them because like cherries, they are tasty and healthy and helpful to my mind, heart and life. If you want to consider...

I don't take the Bible literally exclusively. God uses plenty of figures of speech throughout His Word. We have to learn to recognize what is literal and what is figurative. But more to your point. Dr. Peterson may not yet have been genuinely instructed in Biblical scholarship. He may not...

In a sense, believing is work. even changing one's mind takes work. If Bob Smith believes he cannot do all things through Christ... Philippians 4:13 and he is taught Philippians 4:13, it may take a great deal of mental work for him to break his old bad habit of defeat and inadequacy to start...

If my view is skewed by only selecting verses that support my position without incorporating verses that do not agree with my position, then my search is deceitful from the start. Yes, I agree

I believe he is smarter than that. He is the kind of scientist that goes where the facts lead him. He is not a believer in unicorns and fairy dust and transubstantiation.

Scripture is authored by God. Holy men of God wrote what God told them to write. Moses did not experience what Abraham did, being generations of separation between them, nor was Moses alive during the events of Genesis 1. However, Moses did write about certain aspects of his own life, yet we...

He in neither, he is a clicnical psychologist who is gradually learning more and more about God at his own pace. I admire his good and common sense and it is that very common sense that is leading him to God and the Bible

That is certainly true to a degree and that is not good for us as a nation, however, as individuals we can stand for God all the stronger and turn the tide back to God

I would not look to Wikipedia for sound Biblical doctrine. I do understand that it may offer useful information but rarely. However, We see in scripture that men and women of God who knew their stuff consistenly referred to scripture How about looking at Jesus example when he was tempted by...
