Everything we each believe is an opinion and that includes Scripture. Sometimes the sky is red. Biblical Christianity is no different than most other religions. There is a moral, virtuous way to live and one way or another this is described as, saved, meaning that the quality of ones eternal...

Fortunately that decision is above your pay grade.

What do you imagine, SAVED, means? Saved from what, saved for what, saved to do what? "The world through Jesus might be saved," yes indeed. That is, a better state of existence might be experienced by humanity as it cleaves to and obeys the Teachings of Christ. Less hunger, less inequality...

4 B.C., to be precise. Alas, we can not be that precise, but we can be grateful that He was born. SO, either Jesus was lying about God sharing glory with Him, or Jesus is God. What a black and white fellow you are. Sharing glory is not being God. Jesus is the earthly representative of God, he...

I'm not sure if you are being deliberately ignorant, or it comes naturally to you. All Scripture is Divinely Inspired. All the writers of the Bible in some way served the Will of God, including Jesus. God Inspired these writers to write what they did, or preach what they did. In this sense it is...

They're your words, brother. It might serve you better to ignore me rather than write what you do. You are imagining this stuff up from a very dark place.

All I'm saying is that from a video clip we can't make a judgement on this guy. In general I thought much of what he said had merit. Saved to you has a very different connotation to me and no doubt, Mr Peterson. Saved to me is a condition of moving towards God, rather than receding from God and...

Couple of red flags. The video was a slick production with a whole lot of full facials and an exposure of deep emotion, or seemingly deep emotion. Now this was done in many takes and that emotional stuff could have been redone, because it was meant to be about content and not personality. I will...

Isaiah born 8th century BC, died 7th century BC. Jesus born in a window around the year 0. While you have it in mind that Jesus is preincarnate Jesus God nothing can be explained to you. Was Moses Jesus? Was Noah Jesus? Was Abraham Jesus? Was Muhammad Jesus? Was Buddha Jesus? Was Krishna and...

I think my response will only offend you, which is not something I set out to do, so I will keep it brief. I think the Bible is predominantly symbolic. I also think that some Biblical accounts have become tainted with Chinese Whispers. Jesus claimed He would rise from death after three days...

Your posts are always consistent. I mean no disrespect, but you do not move me to anger, teeth-gnashing, or any emotion really, a bit of curiosity I suppose. I've never really engaged with Creationists and I promise I won't judge other Creationist by what goes on here and even the very tepid...

Not advocating atheism, nor any departure from Christian ethics, virtues or morality, so I'm not sure what your post was addressing. Perhaps you were rehearsing a talk you are giving later. It wasn't a bad read all the same.

Thank you your kind words. You are very fortunate to have two such fine brothers. I'm sure you will all share eternity together in deep discussion about the beliefs you all share.

That's mechanically because you live post-Reformation. Of course it is, because one must take advantage of the age in which they live. That's mechanically because you live post-Reformation - Yes, that's true. We each must live in the age in which we are born. This age affords us a far greater...

Your opinion opposes God and His Word. What utter nonsense. Imagine that you have some unique insight into the mind of God. Talk about hubris. And I don't think you're lying just because you don't understand the Bible's meaning. I'm sure you are sincere in your belief, if a tad misguided...

I think Catholicism certainly had its place and served its purpose. Few join religions to do anything but good works. I think the day of communal worship and a priestly class are over. We are each responsibly for our own spirituality and the endless rituals of Catholicism is in reality the...

Christ is God in the flesh. No matter how many lies you tell. Christ represents God as a Messenger, a conduit between the spiritual essence of God and physical humanity. The only access to God we have is a via a Divinely inspired Messenger such as Jesus who reflects the Attributes of God and has...

you're a God-denying Sadducee - that's a new one. I'm not a member of a Jewish sect, nor do I deny the existence of spirits. I think we each have a unique spirit. As for dead bodies, I think it fair to say that the dead do not come back to life and why would they want to. Being the Christ-hater...

It's okay, relax. You are entitled to believe whatever you like. Jesus-God, preincarnate-Jesus, if it means something to you then that's fine.

Was Jesus lying when He said that He would raise Himself from the dead? Not at all, but we all know dead bodies do not come back to life. Jesus was raised from the dead in the sense that the reality of Christ was His Teachings. After three days of fear and abject grief the disciples began to...
