    Related to this subject, what about taking your share of sex from your partner? Pastor Steven Anderson said men and women are entitled to use of their partners' bodies. He said it is a safeguard against straying. A question regarding this, 'though is - If a partner refuses to have sex, is...

    Before Abraham was, I am

    I said where the "One" or "Being" comes from, as I have multiple times throughout this thread! It's from the Greek Septuagint, or the one that is presented to be when one seeks it in Google.

    Exactly! So why isn't it used as authoritative in this issue?!

    Before Abraham was, I am

    Do you believe the LXX is the true word of God, because that's not what is says there?

    Before Abraham was, I am

    [QUOTE="posthuman, post: 4893110, Maybe I'm genuinely missing something relevant that others see, but, as I say, I'm not seeing it. I don't get this idea that the credibility of the LXX is irrelevant. Is this version the one that Paul used in preaching? I intend looking at what the...

    Before Abraham was, I am

    First - I've NO idea where this post will turn up and to whom it will be addressed - it was meant to be Nehemiah6. The gremlins are having a field day today. Anyway - At last! Something that seems to be relevant to the issue! - the credibility of the LXX. Are you saying that Paul used this...

    Before Abraham was, I am

    Sorry - I'm baffled by this! Where does this "I AM" business came from? I'm talking about the specific verse in the OT, where God is talking to Moses. Nowhere in this verse does it seem to me that God is making "I am" into anything specially to do with Him - rather - He's using the term in...

    Before Abraham was, I am

    I'm still confused! When God spoke to Moses, He said He was "The One" or "The Being". I don't know what else is to be made of that. "When Jesus said Before Abraham was I AM was telling the Pharisees He Christ and always existed." Whoa! How d'you get that from that verse?! Maybe it can be...

    Before Abraham was, I am

    In the Greek Septuagint, when asked by Moses to state His identity, God said "I am the 'One' or 'Being'. Tell them The 'One' or the 'Being' sent you" - NOT - "I am sending you". I'd like someone commenting to address the relevance of Jesus' "Before Abraham was, I am" response with reference to...

    The trinity ,can you be saved and not believe in it?

    "So?" This verse doesn't say the Trinity belief is necessary for salvation. I'm not sure of the answer, but this verse seems not to say it IS necessary.

    IF GOD WERE TO SAY...

    I'm not saying Job was justified in complaining. I'm just saying, as an imperfect man I think, in fallen human terms, Job held fast to his integrity - at least at first. Look at what Job endured. People came to him saying his family had been killed, his property had been destroyed. His...

    Hell

    I've had experience of many denominations - trinitarian and unitarian - encountering many, many different doctrines and combinations of doctrines. One major issues in contention is the subject of Hell as a place of conscious torment. There is material in the Bible, on prima facie...
