There is in John 1. "LOGOS" (the Greek word used) is translated "Word" in most Bibles. Right, he was not called those names before. Yet we still say New York was founded in 1625, long before it was officially named "New York." Jesus was conceived in Mary, despite not being given the name...

The order is important. One is called, then if he accepts the calling, he is chosen. If he doesn't accept the calling, then he cannot be chosen. No, you can't assume that. That would be eisegesis, not exegesis. Don't read your beliefs into the text. Let the text say what it says, and...

From the very text Paul was quoting: And the Lord said to her:“Two nations are in your womb,Two peoples shall be separated from your body;One people shall be stronger than the other,And the older shall serve the younger.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis25:23&version=NKJV...

Jesus is the LOGOS. The LOGOS was given the name "Jesus" on the 8th day after his birth. The LOGOS was the one conceived in Mary's womb. You sound like someone who was banned a while back, who said that the child conceived in Mary's womb was not the LOGOS but some human, who then had their...

"Elect" does not mean "called." It just means "chosen to accomplish a purpose."

Redefining words to fit your doctrine isn't how this works.

This is literal heresy. Shame on you. Do you know what the word used in John 1:14 is that is translated as "dwelt"?

Gobbledygook. God is one God. He is three Persons. That's what the Bible teaches. Not whatever nonsense you've been hooked into. Look, I don't have any problem with God creating an image for His Son to indwell, and that He then made man in that image. But of course, that's not what you're...

Good point.

This here. When God tells us to bring criminals to justice, He is exercising that right. To add to what you said: God has the absolute right to bring anyone from this life to the next at any point in time and for any reason and through any means He deems fit. Be that through a flood. Be that...

Why? There is nothing wrong with discussion. Just because we're biased on this forum doesn't mean we can't have civil dialogue about our beliefs. So long as you're not breaking the rules, we have no problem with you engaging in discussion against our position.

The answer is three-fold: 1) Because we're not God, and don't have authority to not punish criminals. God forbade judges from showing mercy to those who commit crimes. 2) Because NOT doing so teaches the child that he can get away with his actions. 3) Because NOT doing so turns the child into a...

I think you'll find that God specifically told Paul to avoid the cities of the churches addressed in Revelation. Took him completely around them. Jerusalem is not in Asia Minor. The churches in Revelation are. Coincidence? I think not.

Apparently this is a real thing that happened:

It happened. Even a cursory glance at the article and linked pages would tell you that. It normally wouldn't be a problem. This is just how far our society has collapsed. Threats to society should not be tolerated. Clete addressed this sufficiently, and I agree with him. We are not able...

I think God will do rightly on that side of the river. But punishments for crime must still occur. "Your eye shall not pity, life shall be for life."

For some things, at least, but he wants it only if there's "100% proof of guilt" or "beyond reasonable doubt" or "proven beyond doubt," to use his words. 6-year olds are apparently capable of attempted murder, at least in today's society,

Indeed! Unfortunately, we don't live in that kind of a society. And it's time for people like Arthur to acknowledge that fact.

Like I said. You're missing the forest for the trees, The ENTIRE "COLUMN" is evidence of a worldwide flood, Because ALL OF IT was laid down by water.
