The passover meal discrepancy has intrigued me at times. My thought is that because they were obliged to sight the new moon to herald the beginning of each month, the authorities in Jerusalem or all Judea might have seen it after sundown, while Jesus, who was east of the Jordan at the beginning...

If you tap it, does it allow you to communicate with the aliens?

And that scripture doesn't do that.

I agree that he downplayed baptism, but it was in light of an issue that had arisen among the Corinthians, where they were claiming some special status depending on who baptized them. He was stating that you can't just follow some steps and then claim to be the special people of God, especially...

I never expected you to identify @ok doser as scientist.

Here's what I originally wrote I never suggested they wrote Greek without vowels, I don't think. Maybe I misunderstood which original language you were referring to here, thinking you were including ancient Hebrew, which didn't have all the vowels modern Hebrew has, and which has the additional...

I don't understand your point, here. If course he was dead before he was resurrected! You can't be otherwise! Then please explain why you quote a verse about the works of God being manifest by blindness from birth, as if it applies to all cases of sickness and death?

And? How did he escape? He was resurrected. So you think babies being torn apart in the womb for the convenience of the mother's career is for God's glory? That's a morbid point of view. Because He hasn't returned to finally defeat death yet. But He has promised that will happen one day...

Everybody will escape physical death. It's called "resurrection". Nobody except those alive when Jesus returns will AVOID physical death. Your citation speaks of death as the penalty for sin. In suggesting that infants, especially those who die in the womb, receive the penalty for sin, death...

You're probably right. But can you show the congruencies in Rev 22 And Gen 3 to prove your point?

Could be. But since the curse in Gen 3 was about tilling the ground, and was a curse on the ground, and Gen 7 said it God wouldn't do it anymore, it seems like the removal of it in Rev 22 isn't necessary. Genesis 3:17-19 KJV — And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of...

Then it wouldn't be accurately copying and preserving the manuscript. Vowels are part of the manuscript, if they are in the original writing. Can you give examples of any biblical texts, or even non-biblical texts where this was done?

Your flesh is still going to die. I'm sure the doctrine gets distorted sometimes, but the reason for the doctrine is this: [Rom 5:15 KJV] But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which...

And babies must be saved from death. Which words are you having trouble with? I didn't use the word "hell". But even before the word shows up in scripture, death is described as man's destiny. "Hell" is a distraction. The main issue is death, which is, indeed, God's punishment for the sin of...

What curse do you think Rev 22 is referring to? [Rev 22:1 KJV] And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. [Rev 22:2 KJV] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life...

Are you saying the originals had punctuation and vowels, but the copies did not? I've never heard anyone suggest that before.

Actually, I'm not sure we're still under that curse: Genesis 8:21-22 KJV — And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any...

What does it mean when Jesus says anyone who doesn't believe is condemned already (John 3)? Babies haven't had a chance to believe, so they are condemned, right? By the way, "condemned" is essentially a synonym of "sentenced". Death wasn't part of the "very good" creation. Death came because...

Not completely outdated. Most of the terms are still used today in the same way, but not all, certainly. "Y'all" and "all y'all" could be substituted, don't you think?
