    Did God occupy any space before creation?

    I think the term “everthing” encompasses space also.

    Did God occupy any space before creation?

    Genesis should read, “In A beginning.” There are several beginnings in Scripture, but the one that begins the book of John is closer to THE beginning. However, since He is described as having NO beginning or end, it still leaves room for speculation, and as curious creatures, we love to speculate.

    Did God occupy any space before creation?

    Yes, He is bigger than we can even imagine. I feel sorry for folks who have a small or limited God.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    Since Jesus died for mine and your sins, is sin really the issue, or acceptance of that forgivness?

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    I believe the Greek used for the Septuagint originated with Alexander the Great. Koine Greek, also known as Hellenistic Greek, common Attic, the Alexandrian dialect, Biblical Greek, Septuagint Greek or New Testament Greek, was the common supra-regional form of Greek spoken and written during...

    I know Muslims that are fluent in Hebrew and Greek. Would you call them saved?

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    There are many ways to know. Unless one is learning through the Holy Spirit, it doesn’t matter how many languages one is fluent in. There is a distinction between knowledge and wisdom.

    Did Jesus Die on The Cross for The Just/Elect/Saved Whose Names Are Written in The Book of Life OR

    Is there a Scripture that says one must know multiple languages to know God?

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    The easiest type of person to rescue is someone who knows they need it. God has trouble rescuing the self-righteous. Not so much with those who are humbly repentant. Jesus once said, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous...

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    That is a worthy endeavor, but often comes down to splitting hairs, then sub-splitting those. A simple evangelist needs only speak simple words that lead to life. After that, friends, congregations, teachers, pastors, and even angels, lead one into maturity.

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    It might just be my idiocentric thinking, but it seems to me that the moment someone becomes positive in their thinking towards God, He will make a way for that person to have the oppertunity for eternal life. Otherwise, from our narrow human viewpoint, God would seem to be unfair. However, we...

    Predestination is misunderstood...

    I think if you read his statement real slow, you will see that they were calling a belief about or towards baptism, blasphemy, not baptism itself.

    the Sabbath

    Your stress on keeping the Law, and especially Saturday worship, is what most are replying to. If one is able to “Do good works,” (after all that is why we were created, according to Scripture), that seems to still fall short, according to the standard you present. Jesus said ,”You can do...

    the Sabbath

    Just to be clear: are you saying there are three types of people? 1) Believers saved by faith, that follow all of God’s commandments. 2) People who think they are saved, but don’t follow all of God’s commandments. 3) The unsaved.

    Water Baptism-What is in a Name?

    Osmium, at 22.6 x 103 kg/m3, is considered the densest material on earth. Tungsten at 19.3 x 103 kg/m3, and Lead at 11.3 x 103 kg/m3, are not too far behind. However, I think the stubbornness of some folks in certain forums, far exceeds the density in even Osmium.

    the Sabbath

    Whenever someone questions Paul’s writings, or says they seem to contradict other Scriptures, it always raises a red flag, to me. I find it puzzling how some folks spend so little time speaking of the grace of God, but spend endless tomes on God’s judgement and the Law.

    the Sabbath

    Indeed, Peter agrees that sometimes what Paul says is not easy for everyone to understand, to their own detriment. Your statement that “Pauls write things that contradict Jesus,” is at the root of your inability to distinguish between the simple faith that saves, and the requirement to adhere...

    the Sabbath

    I see you stated that you were saved at birth. Where in the Gospel that Jesus proclaimed, does He say that you need only be born, and not “born again?”

    What are his commandments?

    “I guess we both will find out soon enough. Only He knows, He said to live by His every Word- if you can point out one thus saith the Lord that says we don't have to keep God's Sabbath? He blessed and only He can reverse Num 23:20 God is the one writing His holy law that judges all man. He...
