What do you mean by this statement? He stated, "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown." No ifs or buts....

Both, the scripture literally states, "and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not." God specifically told them that in forty days he would overthrow them. He did not overthrow them. He changed his plans for them based upon their response to...

I use the book of Jonah as an example. God changed his mind based upon the response of Nineveh to his word. God did not do what he said he would do unto them. This does not make God a liar, but a reachable, touchable God by responding to his word. Imagine a God so powerful that he is working...

Just pointing out a false narrative brother. I never claimed that's your view, just asking a question. And the fruit is "temperance". ;)

Fair enough but using the words "weak God" kind of indicated that you were in favor of the other brand you stated.

Quote: This is in contrast with a powerful God that controls everything that happens in everyone's life. Are you on board with this quote?

God has stated in his word that there are certain outcomes in which he will not repent, mainly, his long-term plan for the nation of Israel. But it is obvious as one studies scripture, that God has given man the freedom to live and make choices, and these choices have consequences, but the...

So, God controls me even when I sin. Got it. I have no accountability because it is what I was determined to do by an all-powerful God. Is this what you are subscribing to?

I am not very good at interpreting King James antique English. No worries And, it is not the most accurate translation. The KJV is the word of God preserved in English.

To experience life as a man in a body of flesh, to be tempted, overcome temptation, and now he can be touched with our infirmities. Hebrews 4: 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet...

Hebrews 2: 14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to...

For the love of money could be the motive...

What about the doctrine not to add to or take away from God's word? What about the most important doctrine that that every word of God is true and we are to live by every word?

With your premise, all versions do not say the same thing. Some even contain different truths and different words. For instance, there are total verses missing from the modern versions that the KJV contain. Either the modern versions take away from God's word, or the KJV adds to God's word...

Only saved believers can confess Jesus is Lord. Confessing the Lord Jesus is confessing his testimony, how he died for sins, was buried, and rose again the third day.

I believe you're onto something. Brother love is called charity. I stand guilty, often. 1 Corinthians 13: 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked...

The Lord desired to gather Israel under his wings, but Israel wanted no part. Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her...

According to you and Calvin, but not according to scripture.

Yes, or course, but that's way different than God making a truth statement.

Can you show where God said this in scripture? There was no "if" you don't repent. It was a plain statement, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." No if, but shall...
