    Hard verses- Please explain

    to say they'd live until they SAW it, when it was going to happen less than a week later seems strange, I think it's more logical that Jesus is referring to something that was supposed to happen far off but before some of them passed away. Also, seeing Jesus "as he will be in his 2nd coming" is...

    Hard verses- Please explain

    HynoToad, So in verse 28 Jesus says there are "some" who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom and the just 6 days later (read verse 1 in the next chapter) he "comes in His kingdom"? If it only took 6 days to fulfill verse 28 then I'm sure all those...

    Christianity- paint me a picture

    I'm the one who created this thread and it's intersting to see the responses and debates that it has started among Christians. If I need to show someone a picture of Christianity, I'm just going to point them to this discussion and let them read through the endless arguments about what the Bible...

    Hard verses- Please explain

    What is Matthew 16:27-28 referring to? It can't be talking about his death and resurrection because he has not "REPAID EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS", it can't be referring to his 2nd coming because it says it will happen before some of those he was speaking to die.

    Christianity- paint me a picture

    really? I was a Christian for 17 years and I'm not even remotely close to what it teaches? So exactly what does it teach? Does it not teach that the only way to the Father is through his Son? Does it not teach that it is sin that separates us from God (no matter how small the sin?)

    1 timothy 2:5

    I'd love to hear some explantions of 1 timothy 2:5, I don't have to take this verse out of context or read anything to it, it clearly draws a distinction between God and Jesus and clearly states that the mediator between God and man is a man. If Paul wanted us to know that Jesus is God then the...

    Christianity- paint me a picture

    I'll go first, here's my picture of Christianity. I really hate sin so the next time my 7 year old daughter disobeys me I'm going to kick her out of my house never to return to my house unless she repents of that sin and accepts my only Son as her Saviour. If she fails to do so she will...

    Book Of Life

    Can someone who does not believe in predestination explain to me the "book of life"? below are some notes I created on the verses and my interpretations. 1. The book has already been written, the names were placed in this book from the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8 and Rev 17:8) 2. It is...

    Question about 1 Samuel 15

    Keep asking those type of questions, those are the type of things that brought me to my current state of disbelief and rejection of the Bible
