    How do you reconcile the first Commandment with the trinity?

    You sound comfortable in your belief and my guess is you have been inundated with reasoning that he is God from others. Evidenced by your reply. I will say that one side is wrong and the stakes are the highest. As I find that when he looks at us and says depart from me I never knew you. That...

    Demon possession in the old testament?

    Apologies I got called away and hit submit by accident before I had finished my thought. I am asking because you seem to be saying we should question the bible and then use the example of this reason in the difference of a use of a name. I find that what God uses his word for us to get across...

    Demon possession in the old testament?

    How are they different? Jacob and James mean supplanter. Is there difference in that they are in different tongues because God came down and changed men's tongues. Reason I ask is you speak as though you have authority that we should

    Demon possession in the old testament?

    I don't think I have ever found a specific account to point to possession in the old testament as defined and pointed out in the new. I don't believe it was emphasized as it was a different setting. By that the focus was on the nation of Israel vs a backdrop of a pagan nation. I believe the...

    Demon possession in the old testament?

    How did that change anything since Jacob and James are the same name, I am curious? Had they called the book Giacomo, Jaime, Jacques, Seamus, Iago, or Jakob, would that have changed it? These are all the same name and same meaning as Jacob so how did calling it James change anything other than...

    How do you reconcile the first Commandment with the trinity?

    I don't find they contradict. For me personally I find that God from the beginning introduced the notion of one even though it contains different distinct individuals. God created man, singular yet said that one, was comprised of two distinctions, male and female. A man leaves his father and...

    Her $24 is NZD bro so the current exchange for NZD/USD is .64 rounded up or for every one kiwi it is .64 of a buck or 64 cents. So her price would have been $15.36 USD. The additional $2.36 she paid is probably some kind of distribution fee, excise tax, or etc. Or a combination as such since...

    Remember Lot's Wife

    Luke 14:25-35 reads, 25And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them, 26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27And whosoever doth not...

    Not at all just want to hear your testimony. Which I then believe I can show you why we here and you are of different spirits because we don't serve the same God is why. I would say that the joy of the joy of the Lord is our strength and one joy all believers share is we love to tell others...

    Calvin did not invent the doctrines of grace

    The New Testament and the Old Testament the whole bible is about one person. So tell me about that one person and how you came to believe on him and how you are now in right standing because of that faith, that belief in him. Just curious of your testimony.

    Ok thanks for the honest reply just could hear other philosophies in your words so was curious to their influences. By enjoyed do you mean enjoined unless otherwise noted? As I would ask have you read of the temptation of Christ. How in that when he was tempted you have the truth presented...
