Scripture says that hell was created for the devil and his angels. While we know that people will certainly be in hell (Jesus said this about Judas Iscariot), does anyone have to go there? https://t.

@EliGhostGoon @rightresponsem Well, no attribution to Paul, reference or context leaves one to wonder…It kinda looked like he was quoting it to let the world know that he also sees himself as the fore

@immrbloo @BeardedPresby Can Mormons be saved because they have a sincere heart?

@CoHeir316 I told you the answer. Being clear doesn’t always mean saying “yes” or “no” because it’s nuanced. You are thinking about Jesus’ deity. He wasn’t created and we were; we are not God. But nowhere in the New Testament does Jesus claim author...

@Tailfeathers_WA @GwenSci @dalepartridge Deborah is explicitly identified as a judge in Jud 4:4-5: “Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and B...

@x9ishere @greg_hahn How do you know it’s my fallen nature? I believe in Jesus.

@Tailfeathers_WA @ymmotrojam @dalepartridge Now that's odd, you don't think the Hebrew word for rule is the same in Ge 3:16 and 4:7? Take another look...it's there. Sin desires Cain, but Cain is told to "rule" it. But Eve is not 'sin' and God spea...

@Antifaucist722 @Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge About battles... Barak followed Deborah into battle and a woman killed Sisera. And he was commended for his faith because Deborah was the voice of God to him. At any rate, this isn't about the military...

@Antifaucist722 @Tailfeathers_WA @dalepartridge I don’t know what you mean. Women lead globally, especially in missions, where they aren’t under constant male oversight. Paul never forbade women from teaching truth to men—or anyone from teaching tru...

@DirtBoyFarms @ruthmperry @iheartJ37 @harmonizedgrace Did you know that the Bible says "all liars will have their part in the lake of fire" (Re 21:8) and "whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy..." (Ps 101:5)? Why are you condemn...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT What I'm trying to say is that I don't understand how you can say that I don't know exactly what I believe and why or that I just haven't studied all the passages. But I am not rebelling against what I think the text teaches, whic...

@StylesMcFiles @MikeWingerii No I am not. You have no right to judge my inner motives as no one knows them except myself and God and those to whom either reveals them. A chronological order of creation does not confer authority of the earlier over t...

@carol66944 1Ti 3:14-15 is not talking about how "people" must conduct themselves. Paul is writing to Timothy using second person singular and "know" and "how one should" are singular. Paul is writing so that *Timothy* would know how to conduct hims...

@dantheman278 @MikeWingerii Why do you think I don't believe it? Paul explains that it was the time sequence of creation that was the reason why Adam was not deceived but Eve was. But Adam sinned by rebelling against what he did know and it was Adam ...

@TheVaxScene @ManiCompreshun2 @MikeWingerii It wasn't "after" and the scripture actually says that Adam "was" like God knowing good and evil. He doesn't say "they" but "the Adam." Eve didn't know evil before the fall, but Adam did. Adam not only did...

@ClintHumfrey @pauldirks How do we know if aner is generic “man” or specific to male only? For example, why doesn’t Paul specifically exclude women in 1Ti 3 by saying “must not be a woman”? Why does he use τὶς in v1 which could refer to any male or ...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT I know someone that this happened to also. Jesus spent time alone with the Samaritan woman in a public location, so it's not a sin, but one has to be careful. Joseph was alone with Potiphar's wife which he likely couldn't contro...

@carol66944 @Manny_Clay1 It's not a hierarchy. It was Adam's transgression that was problematic and Paul tells us why: he wasn't deceived. Paul said: "Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief" (1Ti 1:13). This is not the case with...

@carol66944 @Manny_Clay1 You are now repeating yourself and not adding anything new to your argument. How is taking Paul's explanation seriously "devotion" to genealogies and myths promoting speculation? Paul doesn't add new information to Ge 2-3, b...

@SKokenos We know Adam was right there with Eve because Ge 3:6 says, "She took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband *with her*, and he ate." This clearly indicates Adam's presence during the encounter. Regarding Adam's awarenes...
