Can a person be saved and not yet believe that Jesus is God? Yes, absolutely. I was there myself for a few years. Can a person be saved and consciously reject that Jesus is God? That's a different question, and I would lean to answering no. There is abundant scriptural evidence for Jesus'...

Satan is not and never was a beast of the field.

The entity now called 'Satan' (it's not a proper name) was created by God.

Yes, the broader context of Peter's statement is prophecy. However, the statement in question is not prophecy, but a plain statement of clarification. Verses 8 and 9 go together: [8] But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a...

Dude, why do you persist in your error?

I didn't write it, but I did laugh at it... That hasn't stopped the OP from continuing on for 23 pages. Unfortunately.

Firstly, the serpent is not a man; and secondly, sin is not creative, but destructive. Sin cannot create any being. Satan is not a man, so this verse does not apply. You don't even begin to make sense.

That's illogical. Satan is a created being, and therefore, according to you, is your brother as is every other created being. You don't get to have it both ways. Either you're wrong for thinking that Satan is uncreated (therefore like God) or you're wrong for having Satan as your brother. As...

I agree with everything you've written up to here. And here, I disagree. Peter puts his statement two contrasting ways, which completely undermines any prophetic implication. “One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day”. In other words, God's perception of...

True; there isn't one. However, IMHO, "there was evening, and there was morning, the [nth] day" couldn't be much clearer. True, some of the Bible is symbolic, but most of it is literal. The genre and context help the reader determine which it is. Genesis 1 simply isn't written in symbolic...

You are a liar. You manipulated Magenta's words. She did NOT say "You are a fool". You owe her an apology, and you need to repent of your sin.

It sounds like you're enabling his bad behaviour. When you can help him with a good conscience, go ahead. When you can't, don't entertain his criticism or pity party. Just walk away. He'll eventually get the message that you won't be manipulated.

Your stubbornness and resistance to learning aren't hurting anyone else; they are just making you look ridiculous. You're wrong on this matter. Give it up already. Go find another windmill.

Thanks! I did proofread... I really did... right before I restructured the sentences. D'oh!

With respect, your question is ridiculous. There is nothing "biblical" about watching anything on any digital device, because there were digital devices when the Bible was written. Are you sick, invalid, or otherwise unable to get to church, or is there no Bible-based church in your area? Then...

Where is that in Scripture? Yes, the Bible as a whole is for our instruction. That doesn't mean that the letters represent "types" of churches though.

On what textual basis do you make this claim? I see nothing in the text to support the idea.

Yawn. You act like a fool, you get called a fool. Deal with it.

Here we go again... A newbie to the site is deciding who and who does not know God. Do you all sit around under the same bridge and discuss together how to look like self-righteous fools, or does it just come naturally to each of you?

No, I mean Christian, as in believer in Jesus Christ. There is little point in "converting" if you aren't becoming a Christian. If you're already a Christian, then hopefully you already understand what I'm saying.
