    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    How did the church-the Gentiles receive all in their stead? Are you saying the church owns the land of Israel?

    A little comedy break....

    I have 3 cylinder car. Not sure the "V" part applies.

    Paul did not write Hebrews; we do not know who did

    Just finished watching your video. Nothing new there. Except that I noticed he made a "difference" out of Jesus being Lord and Christ of Israel, versus Jesus being Lord and Christ of the Gentiles. After Cornelius, I just don't see how that difference was supposed to remain.

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    I guess it's hard to argue with that, if works are both not evidence and evidence of faith.

    On the omniscience of God

    That phrase, spiritually dead, is not found in the bible (except the New Living Translation, I think). In other words, it's a concept that we regularly insert into passages to help them make sense based on our understanding of how things work. But is it a correct concept? Let's see if it is...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    I appreciate that, but that's why my point is important, I think. Looking at the same scripture, two people have come to opposite opinions. How can that be, if both are filled with the same Holy Spirit? The ideal goal, imo, would be to find out who is wrong. But just asserting our own view with...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    Why? Did my response bother you, when you tried to give a reasoned rebuttal using scripture? If you didn't recognize it, it was the response @Nick M gave @glorydaz when she did exactly what you did.

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    I can only respond: "You are retarded or evil. Good bye. I am done with this trash where it doesn't matter to you what God said in his Bible. Just like the Jews that Jesus rebuked for rejecting scripture for their tradition. You are shameful."

    On the omniscience of God

    Guilty, yes, I agree. But we still seem to die because of what Adam did. Romans 5:14 KJV — Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. I assume there were miscarriages...

    Is Faith Without Works Dead?

    In other words: "You've presented arguments that make sense and are well-supported that are in conflict with my theology, so I will leave this conversation."

    On the omniscience of God

    And never based on what the person will do in life, at least according to Calvin and the West minster Confession. All that will be damned are damned before they they are born, and not because God knows what they will or will not do. I think Calvinism might allow for all infants to be elect...

    explain Phil 3:11 ?

    No, not if it appears after the apostles are all dead.

    explain Phil 3:11 ?

    Sure, but the creeds are derived from scripture, so I'd rather look at the source.

    explain Phil 3:11 ?

    Not a single verse. But if God enlivened us by His breath at the beginning, then it seems probable that it is required after death (in the resurrection). Here are a few that speak of life and God's breath: [Gen 2:7 KJV] And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into...

    explain Phil 3:11 ?

    If they are unbelieving, then they are unbelieving. If they are testing their faith, then they aren't unbelieving.

    On the omniscience of God

    I think they do. They will all claim "man's responsibility". They're just inconsistent with their "all things are decreed by God" tenet. So no Catholic approves what you are saying? The mother of God phrase carries with it additional meaning, like, for example, that a mother has to precede her...
