Acts 4:27 We know from scripture that God's plan of salvation for mankind involves Jesus shedding his precious blood for man. This was bound to happen for God included it as part of his creation. At the dispensation of time it will come to pass. However, he did not at any time choose or appoint...

I really do not know how to respond to this post . I only know this is not the gospel of Christ Jesus.

Now we know he did not lie to his brethren. we can move forward from there. A reporter do not insist on his opinion being only the correct one while the others lack insight.

Please bro, do not preach this anywhere because it does not reflect the gospel in any sense.

Exactly.

Perhaps, he may have to reframe what he said for proper understanding!

There is no need for that because I considered that verse in all my responses to your post.

We know that Jesus Christ can never lie because it is not in his nature or character, therefore there is no way he could have lied to his brethren. Period. Any interpretation of that scripture that says otherwise is faulty. There is no story of Jesus not telling the truth. It is your...

That ultra - rude red x as you called it is only saying that I do not agree with your interpretation. There is nothing rude about it for it is the CC standard for saying I disagree. Relate that to his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and you will understand why he said what he said.

How could God choose only you as his elect and make everyone else evil bro?

I think it is absurd for us to think that Jesus actually lied to his brothers, knowing his person and character. Sometimes we tend to misinterpret the scripture if we base the interpretation purely on the letter of the word. If we take the reading from verse 1 to 8, it becomes clearer that...

Okay. Thanks for explaining.

What do you mean by a claimed faith? I only know one kind of faith. The faith that produces righteousness/holiness/perfection.

I really like this post. Apart from believing while not seeing, the common feature here is that the persons the scripture referred to as being righteous showed evidence of their faith by "doing". (acting on the Word) In like manner, as believers, the only evidence we have to show for...

The word of God is sacrosanct. When we read or study the written word with the kind of mindset I see you display in this op, we end up getting it wrong and gaining little or nothing. Within what we might see as contradictions are the "inspired" spiritual understanding and lessons or knowledge...

For me, I would say that, a detailed answer to this question is a whole chapter of a book called "Solving the matrix of being: Understanding who we are in relation to God Almighty". Below is a "little" from the book for whosoever that wants to contribute,--- though not exactly the way it...

For me, I do not think I have come across a good Preacher who does not preach faith, love and kindness of God, grace as a free gift, salvation as a free gift, Christ crucified, relationship with God and his Son, etc. (the goodness of God in general) And repentance. (in view of the...

OR probably because they have not gotten the understanding yet.

My answer is a resounding yes. To support my stand, I will quote only one scripture from Paul and another from Peter and leave the rest. 1. When Paul defended himself against the evils levelled on him by the Jews, he recounted his encounter with Jesus Christ our Lord on his way to Damascus...
