i respect your view, and I know your view of it is the most common one held by most Christian churches. Most are very sincere in their viewing it in this way. I just don't think they are correct. i don't see the practice of passing out the drinks and pieces of bread as a memorial of Jesus'...

I haven't heard that view before, which claims that it was just a validation that Paul and other Christians were true people of God. True, surviving such things would reveal that the person to whom it happened must be a true Christian, as that is miraculous! I don't think the passage...

Yes, I'm aware of the teachings the Catholics have about the eucharist, but I find them unbiblical. Never in God's Word, does it say that taking the Lord's supper, means that the items eaten, become the actual body of Jesus. The Catholics teachings originate from the pagan teachings that...

True and interesting incident in which it was God's will to comply in the command! However, the command came from God, and not from man. So i believe that in cases in which persecutors or others command someone to pick up a poisonous snake, should not be obeyed, unless one has the skill (as...

IF ORDERED TO PICK UP A DEADLY SNAKE, SHOULD ONE COMPLY WITH THIS COMMAND? Mark 16:18 18.They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. KJV My comment: No, I don't believe so, judging by Jesus'...

i know it's hard to picture how they could be visible without having flesh. But that's how it looks to me, according to how the Bible describes them.

WHAT DID JESUS MEAN BY HIS DEMONSTRATION OF THE BREAD AND WINE AT THE LAST SUPPER? Someone in the Bible quiz group in Facebook, "Bible Explorers" - asked, "What is holy communion? Should everyone partake of it?" My reply: Christians differ on the subject - I mean their understanding of...

Yes, it is possible to come to know God and have a relationship with Him, without having first having had the advantage of having had access to the Bible. But it is rare. Here are some examples I can think of in which ones made the choice to serve God, in spite of not having had access to...

True, it is God who understands fully, about all that is in people! We are to avoid judging others for anything not regarded by the scriptures as being essential, absolutely necessary knowledge to have! The only absolutely necessary knowledge to have, mentioned in the Bible, is the way of...

True - the way the word, "angel" means different things according to it's context in the scriptures. Sometimes it means "God" - but most of the time, it just means "angels" - as we ordinarily think of angels as being like.

No - Michael the archangel isn't God - he is just an angel - I agree!

i guess you're right - these 2 angels in Genesis 18, did eat food in that visit with Abraham. But even so, that is not their usual form. They came in fleshly form then - it has to be, since God's Word says they are spirits. Well, angels sometimes were seen to have wings. But other...

It looks to me that in Genesis chapter 18, there were 2 angels that appeared to Abraham. But in the same event, God Himself, also spoke directly to Abraham, too. And then, after their visit with Abraham was over, these 2 angels headed for Sodom and Gomorrha, where they were to eventually...

Yes, i agree they were able to put on fleshly bodies - I thought I'd mentioned that here. However only when God arranged for them to come in that form, as sometimes He did. But ordinarily, the angels are just spirits, according to what I see in the Bible on that subject: Heb 1:14 14 Are...

A pastor in Youtube, that I listen to, said he wasn't sure whether God had indicated to Cain and Abel - what kind of sacrifice they were to offer Him. But I think it's most likely that God explained to them ahead of time just what they should sacrifice. I think it's very reasonable that...

I don't believe angels had fleshly bodies. They are only described as being spirits in the Bible. As such, they have been able to appear invisibly, to people. And sometimes looking like what they really look like - angels. Though sometimes, God has sent angels to mankind in visible...

Yes, I'm aware of that. But even so, there is no indication in the Bible of how long that formless mass (or whatever it used to be) existed before God created the world and the universe.

No, not unless he repents of his sins, and accepts Jesus as Savior and Lord (God) of his life. Paul the apostle used to be a murderer - but He accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior of his life, and repented of his sins. And remained faithful to God until he died. So for sure - he is in...

Yes, so i see you also see earth's age as being in the 6000s - and also feel it may be approaching the 7000th year. I hadn't seen that idea yet of possibly approaching the 7000th year. One part of history I've noticed not mentioned in years much in the Bible, is the period of the kings until...

Well, I personally see no mention of the earth being 4.5 billion years. I prefer to go by what i do see of the number of years mentioned in the Bible, though, for earth's history. Though in heaven, indeed, time is eternal - endless! And equally eternal for those who will be in hell! How...
