@Forms_Respecter @Brian_Sauve I’m a Christian, a follower of Jesus. You oppose me? I agree God speaks in scripture and nature. I am not ignoring Him. The problem, it seems, is with certain readers an

@TonyMor52435077 @masonmennenga If we sat down for coffee, I could tell you stories about church behaviour, that of leaders and pastors. Again, my point is not that there are people failing—there are many, but that this is not the basis on which I b...

@ReadEducated @Brian_Sauve @ReformedLionO Here are scriptures showing that Jesus was a Jew: "Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, 'How is it that You, **being a Jew,** ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?' (For Jews have no dealing...

@LogicSaysBurn Jesus demonstrated a difference between childhood and adulthood.

@LogicSaysBurn Ok, glad you got that one right. Jesus submitted himself to his parents as a child, but when he was ministering and his mother was trying to extract Him, He didn’t submit. If Adam wasn’t a child (he was not even 1 day old), then neith...

@Clem65Clemons You have a Bible; why don’t you let God’s Word correct you? Justification of life to “all” mankind. So just as Adam’s sin resulted in all people being condemned to die, so also Jesus’ one act was indiscriminate. Clearly, to be saved ...

@ChristMount777 God didn’t punish Jesus, God put the sins of humanity on Him and Jesus submitted Himself to death by crucifixion. Read Matt 18:21-35 where a man was forgiven his debt and then his charges were laid back on him. That is very much like...

@JWaynoze @paulogia0 The fulfillment is in the next verse and only 6 days after

The main issue I have with membership is that it is different from membership in the body of Christ. When you treat the church as having two classes of people by adding secondary requirements in addition to Jesus’ requirements, churches are being nee...

@JWaynoze @paulogia0 Curious. How are the teachings of Jesus constantly contradi

@paulogia0 Whether you were saved or not is not really material. Jesus taught that the seed finds 4 soil types and those who are the shallow soil accept the message and spring up for a time. When the sun shines for a period of time, their shallow roo...

@JoelWBerry Married AND have kids? You realize that you would be excluding Paul

@FreeAme19691836 The only head of the church is Jesus. It is because men and women are created differently that we need to work together. “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may p...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT When we pray "your kingdom come" we are asking God to come in the second advent while we carry out our mandate which is to "make disciples of all peoples." It's not to setup the kingdom so that when Jesus comes He says, "Wow, gre...

@pauldirks Are you suggesting that what Moses permitted was nor right? Was horrendous for the family and women? “They said, 'Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send his wife away.' But Jesus said to them, 'Because of your ha...

8. "Repeal no-fault divorce laws"⎯Even under Israel's theocracy, Moses allowed for divorce without specifying precisely what the fault was nor approving of divorce (Jesus clearly stated that it was not this way from the beginning and scripture states...

@pauldirks @KaeleyT Paul, you are mixing up Jesus' second advent with His first.

@rofbethany @DefendTheSheep However, head does not mean master or commander, but source or origin. Adam’s flesh and bone is the origin or source of Eve. Jesus’ flesh and blood is the origin or source of life of the church. Take the following from a ...

@KillmanBuck @JoInAthensGa @Eric_Conn Making disciples means to teach people everything that Jesus taught the apostles and to do it. It doesn’t mean everyone is a bishop or teacher or apostle, but it doesn’t in any way refer to role differences which...

@Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @5cd5945b24ec495 @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Rather Jesus chose not to submit Himself to the Father’s will and initiative. He copied the acts of the Father. It wasn’t that the Father did the acts through Jesus’ ...

@Robert_S_Morley @5cd5945b24ec495 @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller What do you mean by Jesus emptied himself of equality with God? So He had His own power all along but just refused to use it and instead only use the power of the Ho...

@Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @5cd5945b24ec495 @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller He had the power because He never stopped being God. He submitted to the Father so that He could live as an ordinary man. But when the Father showed Him what He is do...

@Robert_S_Morley @5cd5945b24ec495 @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller The granting of Life in Himself means His humanity. For if Jesus did not have life in Himself then He stopped being God. If so, then for the time He was a baby then t...

@Robert_S_Morley @5cd5945b24ec495 @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Unlike Jesus, this is how the apostles spoke: "But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, 'Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at u...

@ronhenzel @Robert_S_Morley @5cd5945b24ec495 @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Jesus, in His earthly ministry, consistently emphasized that He came not to do His own will, but the will of the Father who sent Him (Jn 6:38). This means that He is...

@MCJazzer @revjeffvox @Knocksious @AdajosFit @RevChrisDavis Pastor is used to refer to the shepherding function of an elder. In scripture we don’t see an office of “pastor” though Jesus is called the chief shepherd. Clearly implied is that elders are...

@Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @5cd5945b24ec495 @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Authority has to do with initiative and operating independently from the Father. Jesus submitted himself as a servant, but it is clear that He had the power to raise ...

@pbcmike98 The equality of the persons of God, the existence of Christ before the incarnation, that they all share the same attributes and that you have to believe that Jesus is God and honor Him as you honor the Father is very clear in scripture. T...

@Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller Jesus’ statement in Mat 26:53 highlights that He chose not to ask for divine intervention. This decision demonstrates His complete obedience and submission to the Father's will, parti...

@Robert_S_Morley @ronhenzel @GarOHoff @StanfieldBrent1 @Idolkiller The concept of Jesus not fully exercising His divine attributes involves His choice to submit to human limitations and experiences, including suffering, ridicule, and ultimately death...

@DST_QA @Crystalisives If you consider a leader as one who goes before us then yes. If you consider Christ as an authority over His bride, I’d like you to show me where this is stated in scripture. Of course God is our authority and Jesus is God, so ...

@PastorRobMonroe @KaeleyT @megbasham Jesus’ body was from God. The Father is not the source of the eternal uncreated Son but of His body. Eve’s body was created from Adam’s flesh and bone. Your comment that the doctrine was never questioned until…I...

@GetoD6812 @pastherandie You are divisive causing division in Jesus’ church. You need to stop. "As for a person who stirs up division, after warning him once and then twice, have nothing more to do with him, knowing that such a person is warped and ...

@jackedpatriarch @bibleradioapp Serving the interests of others above my own is

@The_Sig_ You are importing a modern understand of what “head” means in the English. You have to investigate to understand what Paul means by using this term in context. Since both Jesus and the Father are the uncreated creator, there is no sense in ...

@C_J_Ely Yes. Willingly submitting onesself (which even Jesus did to us) is far

@TruthTellinMan @TulipPatriot Where do you think it makes the most sense for the city to come down upon given that the scriptures say that Jesus will be installed on the throne of David? “He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High....

@Robert_S_Morley @TulipPatriot Are you sitting with Jesus on His throne? Is that how we are to see God’s judgment of Jerusalem in AD 70 that the church was judging Israel with Jesus on the throne of David?? "To him who overcomes, I will give the rig...

@ronhenzel @LynnCDell2 @ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @peace_got @MikeWingerii Just to clarify: I have never once claimed any authority. The only authority related to Jesus’ own supper is Jesus himself. Paul related Jesus’ commands. No one is ...

@ronhenzel @ymmotrojam @CherylSchatz @JollyStine @peace_got @MikeWingerii I only found out why people were refusing the elements after the meeting. No one told me beforehand that I couldn’t speak. No one stopped me. Only in a private meeting afterwar...
