Always good to read your comments about the scriptures Magenta. I did a career carrying the mail, and have been retired longer that I worked. I did not have a knowledge of the doctrine of Christ until I was 62 years old. I am now 89 years old. With that said, I will try to commit on your...

You fail to understand, just how filthy a child of God can be, when they are walking in the flesh, in which we all practice, at times, because for our lust of worldly things. Isaiah 64:6 - But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy (Strong's concordance=...

Sorry, I think we may have a culture bearer.

Thanks for clarifying Magenta. Luke 16:13 - No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Then, you can call me ignorant. The scriptures were inspired by God as instructions as to how he wants his children to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth. Most of the new testament scriptures are letters that are addressed to the churches.

Can you expound on that statement more fully? For example, what slave are you referring to?

It is no wonder that there are so many conflicting scriptures on this form, because men have come up with so many versions of the bible to try and word them to fit the theories they have been taught. I use only the original KJV and in Rev 22:18-19 says for I testify unto every man that heareth...

If you believe this is the natural man, then you are misinterpreting 1 Cor 2:14, because "a knowledge of God" cannot be revealed to him. God is a Spirit and the natural man cannot discern the things of the Spirit, thinking them to be foolishness. The natural man believes the world evolved...

I try by best to harmonize the scriptures, in thinking that if they do not harmonize we can never understand the doctrine of Christ. If God loves all of the world of mankind, how would you make that harmonize with John 14:17 - Even the Spirit of truth, whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because...

Can you prove your theory by the scriptures, or do you really believe the scriptures are divinely inspired by God?

All of the scriptures must harmonize before you can understand the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Can you provide me some scriptures that uphold your claim?

Evidently, you do not understand what the scriptures reveal of exactly how awful things a child of God can do, as described in Rom 1, and in other scriptures, when they are walking in the flesh. Isiah 64:6, But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags.

Sorry about misunderstanding your post, but if God wanted Jesus to save (deliver) all of the inhabitants of the world, why didn't he? Because we know, by the harmony of the scriptures, that all of the inhabitants of the earth will not go to heaven. Surely you do not think that man has power...

Check your Strong's concordance for the Greek meaning of the word "saved". Reread 1 Cor 2:14 and tell me if the natural man, before he has been born again of the Spirit, can believe the things of the Spirit, that he cannot discern, and thinks them to be foolishness.

That is my belief as I try to harmonize the scriptures. God did give all mankind the freedom to choose how they want to live their lives as they sojourn here on earth. I don't know why God choose to give them that freedom, because he foresaw that none would seek him, no, not one. I have many...

I agree with you that God elected a people before he formed the world, and he gave them to his Son to redeem them from their sins. Where we disagree, is that those that he elected were not all of the inhabitants of the earth. Christ died for only those that God gave him, and promised them an...

We would have all gone to hell, had he not chosen some to redeem them from their sins. Why God did not choose all humanity, I do not know. the scriptures do not reveal that, and we are not to question God about what he does (Dan 4:35). He did reveal, in the scriptures why he choose some, and...

You are ignoring the other world that God does not love. John 15:19, John 17:2, John 14:17 Romans 9:13-16.

Mankind, according to the harmonizing scriptures, does not have an invitation from God to accept their eternal inheritance of heaven, Jesus's sacrifice for the sins of those that his Father gave him, was a sacrifice that was offered to God for his acceptance, and not to mankind for their...

You have the wrong world in mind. John 3:16 is not talking about the world in John 14:17, John 15:19, John 16:19-20. The world in John 3:16 is the world of believers only. Those he choose before he formed the world, and gave to his Son to redeem them from their sins, with his promise of...
