@Okayest_lifter @smashbaals I don’t have a gun and am not proficient in using one. Does this mean I’m disobeying scripture? Where did Jesus or the apostles demonstrate this?

@Stellar52537270 @Hotrodchriscam @smashbaals Where do you see the early church fighting against the Romans? Did Jesus bear a sword to protect Himself and His disciples? The second amendment is fine.

@jonstrifler @smashbaals Not only that but which of the apostles was a trained s

@smashbaals Jesus nor the apostles taught 2 or 3 and 1 and 4 applies to everyone. In fact Jesus said, “All those who take up the sword [or firearms] will perish by them” and “not by might nor by power but by My Spirit” (Zc 4:6) Paul writes that god...

@RockyMitchell6 I don’t think that’s how the Bible frames it. He doesn’t predestine some individuals to believe. Rather, He predestines that all who believe will be conformed to the likeness of Jesus. God initiates by revealing Himself and convictin...

@AletheiaHS @subq @ManassehRJones @immrbloo Faith doesn’t save, God saves. Paul

@ManassehRJones @AletheiaHS @subq @immrbloo I’m denying the faith? Faith didn’t buy you—Jesus did. His death bought all humans, especially believers (1Ti 4:10). Taking personal responsibility for my faith is not worshipping the creature! You are jus...

@cothran_tom @MrKrabsKachow The debt is paid even for those who go to Hell. Scripture compares Jesus' work with the impact of Adam's one act. We did nothing to inherit sin and death. In the same way, Jesus' work gives life to all. But God has determi...

@stablecross Jesus didn't give John any new information but simply repeated what

@stablecross I’m not arguing from silence. The evidence is he doubted that Jesus was the messiah despite receiving direct revelation from the Father. And then we have Jesus Himself saying that John was less than the least which is a contradiction as ...

@stablecross I’m afraid it seems it is you who is missing the context of the scriptures you are referring to. What is the “it” in “it does not depend on human will or effort”? When God chooses Pharoah, was it because of his effort? When Jesus chooses...

@GregCha67942091 @sparkobuzzer @Ashleyhays2089 Jesus never delineated between His first coming and His second coming? Surely you accept that, right? Why did Jesus stop in the middle of Is 61:2 and say "today this scripture has been fulfilled" (Lk 4:1...

@GregCha67942091 @sparkobuzzer @Ashleyhays2089 You are doing the same thing that the scribes and teachers of the law did with the prophecies about Jesus’ coming. They saw only one coming of the messiah to rule and completely missed His first. Similar...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Eph 5:21 does not limit submission to specific “lesser-greater” relationships; this is your imposed framework. The participle “ὑποτασσόμενοι” is reciprocal. Paul applies mutual submission to marital dynamics, elevatin...

@IemSparticus @harmonizedgrace Loving "as Christ loved the church" flips typical patriarchal authority on its head⎯Christ led by serving and dying for the church (Mk 10:42-45). You also point to the "totality of Scripture," yet mutual submission cle...

@uav_guy_79 @harmonizedgrace Ok, so I’m still curious what commands you give you

@uav_guy_79 @harmonizedgrace Can a slave be exercising authority over the one they are serving? Isn't it obvious that if Jesus "empties Himself by taking the form of a bond-servant" and we (both men and women) are to emulate His posture, that we ough...

@B_Christs_Amb @JacobPaul432 @MikeWingerii It was really important that the Father was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself because the Father was participating—not by beating Jesus and nailing the nails in His hands and His feet—but He was act...

@JacobPaul432 @MikeWingerii In Is 53:4-6, we see that Jesus actually bore our sin. Yet **WE esteemed Him** sticken, smitten of God and afflicted.” Calvinists say that Jesus WAS smitten by God. But instead of this, God has “caused the iniquity of us a...

@JacobPaul432 @MikeWingerii From a high level, PSA seems to be a Calvinistic doctrine where the Father punishes the Son. I reject this and I am not one of the liberals that Mike refers to. Rather, the Father was IN Christ reconciling the world to Hi...

@MaineMinistry @MikeWingerii Yes, I think unity of the church is very important to Jesus so we should only divide when absolutely necessary. It’s not that differences in beliefs and false teachings don’t cause harm—they do, but what is the harm of ca...

Still, leaving a church is drastic. Scripture prioritizes correction and restora

@BICBCI73 @RetailRudy @SladeTheGuy @abarefootmomma We are the ones who have a beginning. We need a mother and father. Jesus did not have a beginning—only His body was prepared, but He uniquely pre-existed His body. Of course this doesn’t agree with...
