Genesis 1 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness [a]was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. God - Elohim...

1 John 5 7 For there are three that bear witness [b]in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.

Hebrews 1 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A [f]scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 10...

iymus, what are your thoughts on comparing these two scriptures: Exodus 20 3 “You shall have no other gods before Me. 4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5...

Why are you now avoiding the very specific scriptures I posted. Yes I know you post all these others. I am zoning on what 2 Peter 1v5-11 specifically means to you. It won't take too long to respond. I hope this is not another to-and-fro avoidance. That would be dissappointing.

No, you are not referring to the right verse. I am talking about this one below. I am asking you to comment line by line so that I can get an understanding of how you see it: 2 Peter 1 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to...

Brother Steve, I humbly take what you have written to heart and will meditate on it. It is always important to have balancing perspectives, and to sense check at each waypoint on the journey. We are a spiritual house being built up, and a body of many varied and unique parts making the whole. My...

Then, please, show me in your own terms line by line what that portion of scripture means - to your understanding. All I ask is that you don't glance over or leave anything out. You are one of the few here who actually (at least) compiles scriptures to support your assertions (I appreciate that...

iymus, please give your insights into John 1v1. Thanks.

The Mystery of Lawlessness at work.

Then you won't be able to repent.

@Hungry, I do believe there is a lot of wisdom in what you say above. And on the surface it appears exactly so, as you say. But I have given this some thought. I do believe that this platform is a global platform. I have seen many nationalities here. And I also suspect that most people on BDF...

@EleventhHour - Reminder Nr 4

Heres another profound insight @Judges1318. Think about how relevant this piece is in relation to the debating here on these forums.... Deuteronomy 29 18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the...

Sincerely, you should read the old testament for there are a lot of truths which only manifest if you understand God's heart. Getting to know the God of the bible is incomplete without understanding Him in the OT. God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore.

Good question. A covenant is a contract between two parties. You can rely on the one party ALWAYS fulfilling their promise (God in this case). However it is still a contact. There are many IF's (conditions in the contract). If you (as one of the parties willfully live in breach of the contract)...

OK VCO, why not do a line by line breakdown of 2 Peter 1 v5-11. Make sure you don't overlook of skip large swathes of these scriptures. Give me the VCO understanding of this. Here it is again. Please, line by line, not overlooking words..... 2 Peter 1 v5-11 5 But also for this very reason...

All I posted was pure scripture. Emphasising areas often overlooked. So what is the "nice try Sherlock" all about?

2 Peter 1 5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are...

This is a great scripture but it is an Election scripture. Only God knows the elect. Therefore we are implored to...…. 2 Peter 1 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be...
