This is wonderful, (don't quite agree with "majority" though) . But both you and Charlie recognise and understand .. .. that any act that conflicts with what Jesus teaches, is NOT Christianity as according to Jesus! I may quote your posts for future use. Nice one chaps.

I see. Did the LOTR witnesses mention or testify of Tolkiens existence himself, within the stories? There is a little more substance to the witnesses of the Gospels, when for example, the disciples, followed later by Christians who gave up their lives for what they saw and believed. These...

Well yes the emphasis on the Trinity as a new word is not a new concept for the plural God. There's no conflict with the OT using this (newer) descriptive interpretative understanding, centuries later. Not God the Father: Judges 2:1-2 Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim...

An interesting but good point, which Gen1: 26, & John 1:1-3, should be highlighted: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every...

Yeah I know the score. I'd think, who else apart from Tolkien, also wrote about the heroes and villains in LOTR? And those apart from J.K Rowling witnessing Harry Potter, and who else wrote the Book of Mormon apart from Joseph Smith and so on? The four Gospels plus Paul and other writings...

Of course steve. I don't claim to be the Guru of Christianity.

There is the common significance regarding prophecy, with the same words in Psalms 22:1 1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani!" compared to the above, I would assume Eloi refers to God.

Sorry, I hastily left the forum, didn't notice you put in the last bit: "One of the reasons is the statement in Aramaic "Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani!" - Mark 15:34" It is a good question. At this moment (requires me to delve in depth), looking from the simple view, as a human, recognising the...

Do you mean before Jesus was born on the earth as a human (regarding physical death)? Hearing the voice of God? 'The word was with God the word was God' ... wouldn't be a problem in concept. (Ill read back on some pages and posts)

There have been several similar ideas to the above. I remember a time when even I was fascinated with ancient civilizations' in the mid 2000s - Being quite intrigued with the different takes from different authors/modern originators of these 'gods origin' portrayed as romantic epics, which...

Hey steve, nice one. I'd like to use that to have a laugh with the other Christians in pub. I Just need the verse. Cheers in advance mate. ;)

If I aim in on Jephtah's sacrifice, as you put it... you might be amazed to know, that was the intention. I willingly chose to talk about that specific thing. I can play slide guitar with those lyrics. I use simple language, but still... just be easy on yourself, learn one step at a time...

Peter being afraid of people who would do evil harm against him, is 3 times, not offensive to the Holy Spirit.

'Lying not to humans but to the Holy Spirit', does coincide with the biblical narrative that's written of consequences, when 'offending or grieving the Holy Spirit. Fear upon all churches would be a sad irony, if hearing upon things like of those, who "swear boldly on their lives" a duty to...

😊

( Responding in no particular order, because it's tedious to do a full response to longer posts via my phone) Yes but as I was previously trying to say - there's the differences of perspective. Would you see this in a different light than.. being demanded to love (and honour) your parents...

This would be quite an unfair *edit: disadvantage to humans comparing to God, in the realm of things - God's abilities compared to our worldly comprehension. In context IOW: God is the only one who brings people back to life.

That's false. Jephthah made a covenant with God. Like Job, was a special individual, known to God, who could overcome what's is to be put before them, and succeed! I'd fail myself like many... it's not a task for the likes of you or me, honouring the covenant...God would know this! These...

To all Christians, Jesus is the 'moral authority'. He gives a different perspective on God than how humans perceive to understand. Quite simply, If Jesus is commanding us to 'Love God the Father with all our might' etc.. It implies or indicates to me, the human perspective of God, being...
