    The Trinity

    How old are you? The RC church has made a lot of reforms since I was born in 1949, maybe that "misinformation" was true then, in 1968. I've shared this testimony with a million (sic) Catholics over the last 50 years, and this is the first time anyone has ever said it wasn't true. :scratch...

    OK Crypto, back to "iron sharpening iron" but only if 'the angle of our attitudes' are held to a degree that promotes sharpening and not sparks flying. ;) As to your question; I've been saying, when the eternal spirit Word gave up being a 'divine spirit' to becoming a 'mortal temporal flesh'...

    The Trinity

    Great testimony, it will be fun to tell pastor your story. Long ago I started teaching that we can all learn something from every denomination. I was bred, born, raised, married, divorced at 19 as a Roman Catholic. I was then told, as a divorcee, that I could never take communion or get...

    The Trinity

    :oldthumbsup: :oldthumbsup: Question, what translation is this? I don't find "Holy Spirit" in the first 6 translations I've checked. They all say "the Spirit" or "of the Spirit". I prefer 'of the Spirit' because the Greek word tou there is possessive aspect in the definition of this word...

    The Trinity

    You wrote too much to deal with. An adequate response would be even longer than the 'single screen shot' post, that Rick said he wouldn't even "unpack". So let's just start by taking some small bites to deal with. "eternal Logos" isn't 'bible', but would you agree it was "the Word" just for...

    The Trinity

    And the bible also says "the word became FLESH" not Jesus. Jesus was a triune man who also had a spirit and a soul along with his 'flesh/body'. Neither of those is "flesh". And if you need a "was", how about this verse? PHI 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of...

    The Trinity

    I understand your opinion, it was once mine. I've just never found a verse to support it.Could you share one? I'll share two, hopefully you can unpack them, and we can discuss. :) JOH 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory...

    The Trinity

    I'm not sure if this verse means the same thing to you that it does to me. I say that because of your very 'username' Jesus is YHWH. But that's a whole other discussion. ;) But as to what you've posted, I'd say I agree....with a caveat...^_^. The Word become the dead FLESH/body of the...

    What is wrong with Calvinism ?

    Well then, I'd say suck it up, because your so lucky. If your "shins" are all that hurt, then I missed. I was hoping to hit your heart. But, we can thank God that He does STILL save the saved, so there's hope even for "not good Christian"s :pray: Sorry for the BOLD, Go back and count all...

    As believers we have duty to contend for the faith

    Let me share something with you....son. I've been an avid bible studying believer 15 years longer than you have been alive, and your posts have proved to me one thing. You don't begin to know scripture as well as you think. And your arguments are so weak you would do well to ask more...

    What is wrong with Calvinism ?

    Above is how I correctly quoted the bible....with only one "it was very good". You quoted "very very good" without quoting a ch/vs in your post. This senior didn't remember ever reading a "very very good" verse. So I searched 6 translations and I still couldn't find your quote. So I thought...

    What is wrong with Calvinism ?

    o_O:cool::cool: Where does it say "very very good." I can't find a verse saying 'that'. I do know of a verse that disagrees with "very good" though. And it's only 18 verses later, that 'it' suddenly isn't true??? :scratch: GEN 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man...

    As believers we have duty to contend for the faith

    YES HE DID "fulfill His mission"!!! The price for your sin along with everyone else, was paid 2,000 years ago. And no one living from Adam and Eve, until Jesus died, ever confessed the only name by which anyone can be saved to go to heaven in the hereafter. So Mike, how are all those people...

    The Trinity

    At the bottom of my #85 post, I asked you all to answer with scripture if you want to respond to me. I am not going to give 'religious opinions' before His throne, to support my heretical beliefs. I have no use for indoctrinated opinions, and neither should you. JESUS disagrees with YOUR...

    As believers we have duty to contend for the faith

    Sadly, the biggest "house of cards" just may be putting 'your faith' in 'bible translations' that one thinks teach what Jesus actually taught.' :sigh: Three different Greek words all translated as 'hell'. Covid isn't the first illness affecting ones ability to smell a rat. But your last...
