Yes, we disagree on what it actually says don't we.

Thanks for asking. The Bible says: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. " This means that God takes the initiative and gives a person that he wants saved to hear his gospel. God draws people to Jesus by giving them the...

"Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2I will open my mouth in a parable" We understand this verse differently. God's law is the entire Bible in my opinion. Psalm 19 is a good place to see this. How does God open his mouth. I think that the answer is the...

Yes, we disagree in few things I think. There are a couple places where you seem clearly sure that 'all' means every human being or 'many' means every human being. While we like to think that everyone has a chance to be saved, I would put it a different way. Everyone has a chance for the gospel...

The Bible is written in parable form (Psalm 78:1-2, Mark 4:34) and if you read the scripture in question in Romans 5 as a surface text you will get confused, in my opinion. In English, the term 'all' or 'all men' would simply mean everyone or every man. However, we have to compare the Bible with...

Thanks Magenta, Many people have adopted the notion that there are three heavens. In part, they consider Paul's mention of the 'third heaven' in 2 Corinthians 12:2. However, I see things differently. The Bible uses the term 'third' to talk about the true believers. For example: "And I will...

Hi there, One big reason people find Genesis particularly, and all of the Bible generally, difficult to understand is because they do not accept the meaning of Psalm 78:1 which tells us to give ear to God's Law (the Bible) and then says that the law is a parable. Most persons in this discussion...

You can take everything in your life that concerns you to God. "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. " Jesus and his gospel continue to stand sure. "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his " I learned a long...

"And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto." The key to...

Or it could mean what 'heaven' always means in the Bible - 'heaven'. Again, we read: 'Heaven is my throne'. (Acts 7:49), or do you think God did not intend the Bible to fit together as a whole so that words from one book of the Bible have no cohesion with words from another book of the Bible. I...

"And God called the firmament Heaven" (part of Genesis 1:8) So the firmament is Heaven. But what is Heaven? "Heaven is my throne" (part of Acts 7:49) What is God's throne? Well, Jesus is in the midst of it: "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them" God's kingdom...

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." (Psalm 118:9) "But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be so among you: but...

"Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. He answered...

"And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?" Apparently, the religious people thought healing was working and didn't allow it? This brings up the interesting point that God can work on the sabbath day. We find this in Exodus...

People get kind of mixed up thinking that the term 'this generation' means a person's lifespan until the next offspring (like one biological reproductive cycle time period). Rather, I think the term more likely means 'this type of person', 'this group of persons', 'this kind of person'. Jesus...

"And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the...

Thanks Scribe. Yes, we simply disagree on what angels are it seems.

Thanks Scribe. In my view, this is saying that the son of Man (Jesus) was made a little lower than the believers when he was on the cross. The term angels means messengers and is a term denoting believers here, in my view.

Thanks crossnote. It is true that the term angel can also be used for those humans who are messengers from the other side. Good point. There are those Christians who are real ones and then there are those who are false ones. Can you find a scripture saying that angels are something other than...

Thanks crossnote, for noticing. I am saying that angels in the Bible are people whom God has saved (the saints, the true believers, God's people) whom God has quickened by His Spirit with His message and his ministry. However, the term also includes Jesus himself. Can you show me a scripture...
