Christians are trichotomous... Body. Soul. And human spirit. Unbelievers are only dichotomous... Only body and soul. .......

Jesus is two natures in union. (Hypostatic union) One nature is God. (Fully God) The other, is human (soul). (Fully human) grace and peace ..............

OK... I see. That's a different aspect. On the same note, you can not expect to see the behavior you mention when believers operate in their emotions. After all, its because they do operate in their emotions religiously that they find an affinity for false teachings that appeal to how they...

Of course God wants the giver to be cheerful. Here is how you make sure that the giver can be cheerful when giving... Let each one give as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver [whose heart is...

People who are a part of a faction do not "provoke" factions. They simply religiously operate in their flesh, and find themselves attracted to some false teaching that sits well with their human viewpoint. In fact, they will assume that someone who knows sound doctrine is provoking them. The...

God put His Word in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic. And, it was for good reason. What we get in English? And read for ourselves? Can be too misleading if greater and greater accuracy is desired by the believer.

He had to make himself be as a man... FULLY. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of...

That belongs to a different context. You are using those words to show that Christians must agree on everything. Never gong to happen. Not according to the Word of God.

To command the giver to be cheerful when giving is silly legalism, and even further manipulation. Those who were to receive what was collected had better make sure they were firstly teaching soundly. Teachings that would prosper the souls of their hearers. When such a classroom is provided...

I am still trying to figure out what it is exactly that is bothering you. It does not say he was knowing all things. It says he knew all things pertaining to that given situation. For he had just finished a session of praying to the Father and knew what he needed to know. John 18:1

We better get accurate and sound teaching in that case.... That also means, dropping the King James lingo, which we do not think with today.

Calvinism was taking the way of thinking that got the Catholic Church in trouble, and replaced old false teaching for something new to crow about. Kings ruled in those days. That pontificating over others' mindset trickled down to the people. Today we see it with elitism.

Why is there no agreement? Should there be agreement? In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. No doubt there have to be factions among you to show which of you have God’s approval. 1 Corinthians...

I meant, what was the usual cause you have seen in the heated debates? Any particular doctrine finding conflicts more than others?

The disrespect you witness to? Does it have a usual cause?

Would you please give chapter and verse for what you stated?

That had to happen to fulfill prophesy. So? Apples and oranges. Not applicable for all situations. That's how legalists get trapped once the opposition recognizes their rigidity of thinking. .....

“Love one another as I have loved you” John 13:34 Jesus told his disciples to love one another as He had loved them. How did He love them? With honesty. Not by not dealing with denial, but confronting it. Jesus was loving them, sometimes in a way as the timid types would view was most...

Most pastors do not know what to teach means. Most congregations are in the same boat with them. No one knows why it's all not making sense.... Those who can teach will be found by those whom the Spirit is able to guide. God keeps his faithful ones covert unless called into action when needed.

You want everybody to treat everybody nice all the time? You can be quite blunt, yet respectful, when attempting to get someone to focus on what they keep squirming away from. Even Jesus was seen as quite brutal when dealing with those sticking to what amounted distraction and denial of a...
