I have seen for myself the sun rising and setting, not merely fading/ emerging. No amount of argument can unconvince me that the earth is (roughly) spherical.

Why is any non-Catholic paying any attention to the ‘pope’? He is irrelevant to Christians.

They are books, but Heiser has extensive info on his website drmsh.com.

For all interested in this subject, I highly recommend Michael S. Heiser’s The Unseen Realm. Or, for a less academic audience, Supernatural, by the same author.

It’s understandable that you are uncertain about these matters. I would encourage you to keep investigating until you are immersed in the truth. Jesus is not merely a mortal, but is and was God incarnate. The Bible is reasonably clear on this matter, but it does take a bit of effort to locate...

Uh huh... you're brainwashed, as the other poster is. You are intellectually dishonest and that you hold to a cognitive dissonance, and are unable to see either.

And the Flying Spaghetti Monster... ;)

Where is “church spirit” mentioned in the Bible?

I suggest you look up 2 Kings 8:26 and 2 Chronicles 22:2, and tell me how old Ahaziah was when he became king. Your "utterly accurate" KJV leaves much to be desired.

Where is that in Scripture?

God intended a specific meaning for the Hebrew or Greek word(s). The translators, to the best of their ability, interpreted the original-language texts and chose English words that best represented their interpretation. Most readers have no issue with most of the choices, but we recognize that...

If a word does not have meaning outside of the Bible, it won’t have meaning in the Bible either. Words are chosen by translators because of their meanings.

I don't quibble over the words, "in every way". I do make issue over the word, "tempted". Scripture says that Jesus was tempted. If, in truth, He could not sin, then He was not tempted. I understand that others see this matter very differently, and I don't demean them for their position. Even...

Either Jesus was actually tempted (able to sin) in the wilderness, or He did not conquer sin by overcoming temptation. If the temptation could not succeed, the entire scene in the desert is a sham and the following verse is a lie: Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to...

As it is for you to whine publicly about it. Grow up, man up, and own up to your ignorance, folly, and childish responses to disagreement.

That's odd; why did He not do so for the Auca, or the Cree, or the Dene? Why did His word have to be translated into German, or Spanish, or English? Surely if it needed to be translated, it was not "preserved" in those languages.

I can agree at least to the point of continuing the discussion. :)

It undermines God's authority in the sense that evolution is not a guided process (as it is taught in secular culture). However, the Bible states that God created, not that He caused to evolve. The "science" that supports evolutionary hypotheses is not actually scientifically sound.

The verse doesn't say that the Holy Spirit compares 'spiritual with spiritual', but that we do so. Here is the verse from the KJV, and from three modern translations: KJV: Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing...

I disagree; if you remove creation, you undermine God’s authority over creation and you are left with no sound explanation for the origin of anything.
