[-57]

How is Non-Denominational not Christian?

He posted that Jesus wasn't God.

The bible says Jesus sits by the right hand of God. Jesus also while being crucified asks his father why he has forsaken him. Want more examples? There different views of the trinity. And just FYI, it is against the rules to question ones Christianity here in the CF.

Simple answer.....Not really, He created it in 6 days and rested on the 7th.

Correction: He will create the perfect 3rd Heaven in 6 of His Days and THEN, He will rest or cease creating. He rests because His Creation is finished or brought to perfection and filled with it's entire "host" or inhabitant of Heaven.

1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Do Humans still die? If so, then the end of God's 6th Day is FUTURE because when God's work is finished, there will be no Death. Rev 21:4 The 7th Day is AFTER the present 6th Day, the Day of Salvation and it has No end, No evening. That's because it is Eternity.

 

[Aman777]

Yes; I believe everything is confirmed by other Scripture in the KJV Bible, but that it goes much deeper than just that. There is but one understanding found in the KJV Interpretation, the understanding of the days of the Creation, in which the first doublet of days begins, Genesis 2:4.

The Days are not doubled but instead, the narrative takes us BACK to the 3rd Day BEFORE the plants herbs and trees when Adam was formed from the dust of the ground. Gen 2:4-7 We live today at the end of the present 6th Day at Gen 1:27 because God is STILL creating Adam (Heb-mankind) in His Image, which is Spiritually in Christ.

God tells the entire History of His 6 Day Creation in Genesis Chapter One, including events which are future to our time, when Humankind will be given dominion or rule over God's creation in Gen 1:28 Then Jesus will change all creatures into vegetarians as Gen 1:30 AND Isaiah 11:7 confirm. THEN and only THEN God will say it is very good and then He will rest or cease creating from ALL of His work of creating. Gen 2:2-3

Scripture please?

and THEN, He will rest or cease creating. He rests because His Creation is finished or brought to perfection and filled with it's entire "host" or inhabitant of Heaven.

Again, scripture please?

1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

Death has been defeated. With the resurrection.

2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

At the end after the final judgment, Satan and Death will be cast into hell.

But death has been defeated, we will rise one day to be with our lord.

Do Humans still die? If so, then the end of God's 6th Day is FUTURE because when God's work is finished, there will be no Death. Rev 21:4 The 7th Day is AFTER the present 6th Day, the Day of Salvation and it has No end, No evening. That's because it is Eternity.[/QUOTE]

It appears to me you don't really understand the kenosis.

"Faith groups that deny the full, eternal deity of Jesus Christ or His incarnation whereby He, as God, took on human flesh (becoming fully God and fully man in one person), are considered non-Christians at CF."

 

[Goatee]

Same old story. Open the Bible, pick a passage and bicker and argue again and again about it! God must be so upset with the human race! And thats only about us interpreting scripture! Let alone all the mess we have caused in the world!

So I need to withdraw my Church membership and designate myself as an atheist I gather? Then I encourage you to report me, and in doing so, I also expect you to point out exactly where I denied anything. I made a comment, not a declaration. In fact, my comment was in support of another Christians right to have their own personal beliefs.

I don't care what you do or believe.
Someone (you?) had posted an error about what A Christian was according to the rules of this site. I looked it up, and posted what the rules said.

Like I said, if you think it is a rules violation report it.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

I did not see a rules violation to report.

I saw someone(you?) make a false claim[statement] about the rules against someone else.

(i guess that might be a rules violation, but it may happen every 30 seconds or so in some threads, and I was told by one moderator NOT to keep reporting it. Other moderators had said like you just posted to report it, but mostly nothing was ever done, so... ...... )

It wasn't about the "rules," it was about common Christian decency. But if you want to get into "rules" then notice that denigrating another Christian's faith is also against the "rules" here.

Someone made a claim about the rules that the rules presumably included non-christian groups in and under the name title "CHRISTIAN".
Since neither SCRIPTURE NOR THE RULES of this site
include NON-Christian groups in or under the label / title "Christian",
there is a reason for that to be known.
JUST like so jw's and mormons might realize that according to the RULES in line with ALL SCRIPTURE they are not in a "CHRISTIAN" faith.

 

[1John2:4]

I'm after thoughts and opinions Gods 7-day creation. Did Moses right it as a narrative to the Israelites? Is Genesis all figurative language?

Thoughts and opinions on the controversial topic!

This is such an awesome post idea!! I believe God created the world in 6 actual days and rested on the 7th. Moses wrote what God instructed him to write. I am not sure I would say all of Genesis is figurative, if you look at a topical view of the earth you can tell it was once covered by water (the flood). I also used to live in at 5000 ft and the mountains are tons of fish fossils. As I read and study, I find the whole Bible has many complex meanings for different things to teach us multiple concepts, the Word is living water, I just don't know if I would chalk it up to figurative I watched a video not too long ago that talked about how the numerical value on the Hebrew alphabet correlated to information taken by NASA in the size and location of various celestial objects. I can not remember the title and it was a little on the technical side for my taste but the findings were amazing. It just showed me how little I really know, proof that God spoke the universe into existence . I hope your paper turns out great!!

 

[1John2:4]

Yes, seven 1,000 year long days.

Lets test your theory: If Adam was created before the Shabbat and then kept the Shabbat he would have been well over 1000 years yet the Bible states Genesis 5:5 So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

Scripture please?

Sure, Genesis Chapter One is the entire History of God's 6 Days or Ages in the Creation of the perfect Third Heaven....including future events which will NOT be fulfilled until AFTER Jesus returns to our planet. Gen 1:28-31 is Prophecy of events which will happen in the future, at the end of the present 6th Day.

Aman:>>and THEN, He will rest or cease creating. He rests because His Creation is finished or brought to perfection and filled with it's entire "host" or inhabitant of Heaven.

*** Again, scripture please?

Sure. Gen 2:1-3 tells us of the 7th Day when God rests from ALL of His work of creating. The 7th Day is the Great Sabbath when God ceases to create mankind in Christ because Heaven is filled with ALL of it's host. It's the way ALL of God's works are finished. (Heb-brought to perfection)

*** Death has been defeated. With the resurrection.

2Ti 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

At the end after the final judgment, Satan and Death will be cast into hell.

But death has been defeated, we will rise one day to be with our lord.

All the host of Heaven will be present in Heaven BEFORE the 7th Day Begins as Gen 2:1 states. Today is the Day of Salvation and Today is Judgment Day for ALL of mankind. It's also the last Day for 152,000 Humans within the next 24 hours. Amen?

Adam's age is NOT counted until AFTER He and Eve were "created in God's Image or in Christ" AFTER Cain killed Abel. Adam lived 930 years AFTER he was born again Spiritually in Christ. Gen 5:1-2

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Gen 5:1-2

I don't see here about being "born again".
I don't see any comparison to what is in the NT about "born again" either.
What do you think is the connecton ?
Genesis 5 King James Version (KJV)
1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

Man was formed of the dust on the 3rd Day BEFORE the plants herbs and rain. Gen 2:4-7 Man was NOT "created in God's Image" or Eternally in Christ, until the present 6th Day/Age which is the Day of Salvation. Eve was not even made until the present 6th Day. Gen 2:22

God is an invisible Spirit so Adam and Eve were born again Spiritually. That means they will be there in Heaven when we get there. Amen?


2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
