That is taken completely out of context of the conversation. So for you to jump in all upon a sudden is inappropriate.This is where you give yourself away. That's precisely the devil's work and there just isn't any other way to put it.
I would rather show those the right thing, than half the wrong thing. That is what spreading the WORD is about.
I have shown that the bible says faith without works is dead............meaning you must have faith first.
Agrreeeeeeeeeed. Faith in heart, works to show your faith...........and by works I do not mean being nice.............simply put, to believe in Christ is to do what he would do, just like the timeless saying "what would Jesus do?" Yes, you get it. If you really believe, then the works show it, but not becasue you want to go to heaven, becasue you want to be better, like Christ.
As to the other fella on the cross, he accepted, and truly repented (repentance is a work) then was all good in the hood !
Baptism is obsolete, cant hurt, but obsolete. Has been since the Christ died.
Ok, we seem to be on the same book, different page maybe......explain "defeated christian"You are saved by faith. period.
However, you’ll be a defeated christian without works. You’ll never get to experience the full power or relationship with Jesus. Serving others, spreading the word, caring for the widows and orphans, etc. You’ll still make it in the door with faith alone, but you’ll be sleep on the couch if you don’t work.
I don't think so, life is just too complicated to always bring up the scripture.The scripture should remain at the heart of any argument.

If there is one person on this planet that can tell you that they understand every word and everything in the bible........................watch out, they are a liar!If one accepts that the scripture is the word of God, then what you just typed could hardly be any more absurd.
I really don't think the scripture can be fully accepted as God's word, maybe some of it is but it's generally the word of humans becuse humans were the ones that wrote it, you're not taking that into account, you're also not taking into account that the scripture doesn't cover every situation in life.If one accepts that the scripture is the word of God, then what you just typed could hardly be any more absurd.

Almost everything really, marriage, sexuality, control, tyranny, death, complex sin. The Bible ignores all of this and expects you to only see things from its perspective, I can go on all day, greed, hyarchies... The only one that's really not thinking about this or failing to take everything into consideration is you and your allies in this conversation.What situation is not covered?
The Word of God, handed to us by our creator, is not sophisticated enough for today's world? That's an absurd comment, again, unless you simply don't accept God's word. The real truth is every answer is there for the man willing to look for it. God's word is so advanced and sophisticated, that the most brilliant among us will never be able to glean but a fraction of what it holds, yet simple enough in its premise that even a fool can understand the minimum necessary to know God.
Im pretty sure Jesus gave me options becuse Jesus is God and God is good, definitely much better than the Bible.With respect to OT scripture, Jesus didn't give you that option. They were reading these scrolls in the Temple. Jesus didn't go there and correct them, he went there and read the same scrolls the scribes did.
You can make the determination it's man-made, but having done that, there's nowhere for you to spend eternity but in hell. There is no Door 3 for us to walk through. We have the word of Christ himself. We have John telling us that the Word is Jesus. Peter came along after that and told us that Paul's books were inspired. By the end of the first century, the early church had accepted all of what is today's bible, other than Revelation. And we have written word from early church fathers in the 2nd century that they were aware of Revelation and who wrote it.
As Chuck Missler said, the Bible is an integrated message system, written several centuries apart, by 40 different men, and yet nowhere does it contradict itself. We have witnesses. We have history. We're without excuse.
I am not as "creative" as you, moderator.The trolls used to be respectable. They used to be creative. They are just sad little people now.
I'm awareI am not as "creative" as you, moderator.
so you do make this shit up as you go, glad we agreeI'm aware

That is bullshit................there is WAY more out there than the WORD. There is scientific "evidence" and I think most importantly, mathematical.All we know of God is through his word. If you reject his word, then your god, your Jesus, is one you fabricated to suit your own desires.
Those are merely observations.That is bullshit................there is WAY more out there than the WORD. There is scientific "evidence" and I think most importantly, mathematical.
That is the issue with these types of arguements: individuals like you and all your buddies, like to argue from a point of "authority" and if you are questioned then the "Word" is questioned. You talk of fabrication, look in the mirror. "All we know" about God............thought it was about faith and not knowledge........if you "know" then wheres the faith.
. The more you and your buddies preach, the better.......many have seen through your bullshit.
I already explained the "why" to that before and its not just trough his word, its trough teachings and experiences because his word has flaws so we can't base everything we know about God on just something that wasn't even his word. I didn't fabricate anything, I just got to know him trough things that were not just his word.All we know of God is through his word. If you reject his word, then your god, your Jesus, is one you fabricated to suit your own desires.
your point?Those are merely observations.
Now try to frame those observations into an opinion or thought. What do you need to even attempt to construct those thoughts into an opinion that can be communicated?
Words....

You have not asked any questions of me that you claim to. So when you say "let me ask you again" you must be talking about someone else. If you have asked these questions I did not see them.How shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? How shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? How shall they hear without a preacher?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
It is inescapable, which is why you won't answer any basic questions about whatever faith it is you're practicing. There is no way to hear the complete story of Christ, apart from God's word. You reject the Bible, so I ask again, where did you get your Jesus from? What source, person, etc? What other great tome of knowledge imparted to you the nature of Christ? Nature/math/science might provide evidence, but certainly not the full manner of Christ and what he did. All they can do is affirm what scripture tells us. The Tola'ath worm, for example, provides a wonderful picture of sacrifice and salvation, but it's a story that no one could be led to without scripture as their roadmap.
All of which leads to no other conclusion except that you're worshiping a god that you imagined yourself, and you tagged the name 'Jesus' on him. We only truly know of Christ because the word of God endures. If you reject the word of God, you are without hope.
There are way too many to be honest.....look above at this thread and its arguements...........but truthfully, if you have no knowledge of the like, then they are all good enough to start. As a rule, the King James Version is probably the most common within the last 200 years. Good luckI want to buy a good Bible to read and study. What version, should I be looking for. Are there special versions I may benefit from?

Thank you, I received my ESV bible today!That is awesome. You're going to benefit from just about any Bible you read. Below is just my opinion...
Here's a chart I linked in a prior post. The versions on the left tend to be stricter translations, while the ones on the right sacrifice strictness in a desire to more fully capture underlying meaning and emphasis. Most of these are very good, though the ones on the far right should probably be limited to supplemental use, meaning that you spend most of your time studying in a more faithful Word-for-Word or Thought-for-Thought translation, and refer to versions from the NLT and to the right end of the chart only as an occasional, additional perspective.
I would recommend looking at three potential translations, all of them stricter, "word-for-word" interpretations, though you may have a pastor or Bible study leader you know and trust who recommends another version. Pray about it as well.
I'd consider looking at:
English Standard Version (ESV) - This version is written in modern English and is very easy to understand.
New American Standard Version (NASB) - This version is very strict in its interpretation, and as such, can come across a little more "formal," though still modern.
King James Version (KJV) - This version was published over 400 years ago, and is translated in style that is a little closer to Shakespearean English. It is beautiful, but may be more challenging to understand.
Check out this link for a side-by-side comparison of the third chapter of John in these three translations. See if there's one that you prefer.
If you have more questions about versions, let me know. You can read any of these versions for free on a Bible study site like Bible Gateway or Blue Letter Bible, or you can buy a physical Bible for less than <$10. Here's a good, basic softcover ESV Bible for $12.59 on Amazon.
If you're wanting something with additional resources in it, you can definitely find study Bibles of all kinds. I'd be glad to help point you in a few different directions if you wanted to go down that path, but you really can't go wrong with a basic ESV, NASB, KJV Bible like the one in the link above.
I hope this helps.
Thank you, I received my ESV bible today!
I have a few questions to help get the thread kicked up bit, and because I really want to impart some of your knowledge.
Question one, when can we as Christians be angry or fight back? Seeing all the crime and senseless evil, today I find myself angry and frustrated. Often when a criminal gets what he deserves I feel almost glad, but still sad as I know this is not how the lord wanted things to go. Is this immoral? What about defending your home or family? Where are we to draw the lines? What does the Bible have on these topics.

The short answer is when God tells you to do it, but the reality is, God doesn't typically use us to fight his battles.Thank you, I received my ESV bible today!

Muslims aren’t praying to the same God as Christians and Jews. Sorry, they just aren’t. Muhammad was deceived by Lucifer parading as Gabriel. They worship Osiris. It’s a reason the symbol of their faith is the crescent moon.
I won’t hijack any further. Sorry Catfish.
"
The Antichrist and his worldwide government will hunt both new Christians and Jews alike, seeking to slaughter all of them."
I hope you mean the Jews or the biblical Hebrews from the bloodlines of Moses and not the one's masquerading as Jews today. The one's in Israel are the one's who Jesus called the son's of the devil and the Synagogue of the devil. They crucified him. Their Talmud insults and says many terrible things about Yeshua and gentiles. These are fake Jews they are the Khazars of Babylon who adopted Judaism as their religion. Some have traced their lineage back to the fallen angels and Nephilim. This is why they're psychopaths and have no concerns for human life. They own the IMF and all central banks, and the governments (corporations) are their puppets. Their god is the devil. That's why they push satanism on their TV programming and movies. Yet on the other hand they say Yahweh doesn't exist with lies, pseudoscience and mockery.
I interpret the scriptures as pre trib rapture. The Church hasn't been raptured yet, the covenant hasn't been enforced yet, the final kingdom of man hasn't ruled yet. Also, It makes logical sense to me since I don't see believers being punished with non-believers. Rev Ch 1 is what John has seen. Rev ch 2-3 is the church age (church mentioned 19 times) Rev 4 and 5 is the future/rapture . At the sound of the trumpet, he is taken up to heaven. From this point on he has a heaven's view of what will take place after the church age. Rev CH6-19 the church is not mentioned once dealing with the tribulation since the church isn't a part of the tribulation. Rev Ch 20 the millennium the 1,000 years of Yeshua, the earth will be as it was within the Garden of Edan. We will have perfect bodies and I believe we will be consuming a fruit-based diet, not age, and there will be no killing at all. Ch21 and Ch22 New heavens and Earth as well as eternity.
We're not in the 7 year trib as many youtubers believe. They put too much emphasis on the Shemitah cycles, jubilee years, and blood moons. However, if you just read the bible and go by sound doctrine you will find this to not be the case. but we're very close at this moment in time because the church hasn't been rapture1d while living in times with many signs of end times being near. If we were living within the 7 year trib then the anti-Christ would've already been revealed. People who are focusing on wa(iting for the anti-Christ to be revealed mid trib are focusing on the anti-christ and not Yeshua.
Read (Geneva bible (1599)
1 Thessalonians 4: 17: Trumpet call of Yahweh and all the deceased will be risen up first and receive their glorified bodies. We will be risen up next.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-8: Taken up before the anti-Christ is revealed.
1 corenthians 15:51-52 It's a mystery and it will happen in a twinkling of an eye and our corruptible and aging bodies will be replaced with our new glorified bodies and meet them in the air and be with Yeshua forever. Encourage each other with these words. If we were supposed to go through part or all of the trib before the rapture it would be very tough to encourage anyone that we must suffer first. THE RAPTURE COMES FIRST before the 7 year tribulation. The 7 year tribulation is for the salvation of the Jewish nation.
At this time, I am focusing on preparing, adherence to the law, increasing my faith and doing as many good deeds as possible for rewards in the afterlife. The best deeds I can practice is to perform healing the sick, casting out demons (which is something all Christians should be doing), and planting seeds into people enough to give them a path to becoming saved potentially since I cannot do it for them. The bible lays out a template of how to heal others and cast out demons with the combination of prayer, fasting and saying in Yeshua Hamashiach's name. Using Hebrew has more power to it. If I fail to heal someone with the power of the word I then would resort to using the Jose Silva mind control method. This is very powerful for not only healing yourself and others, but the methods assist you self-development in intellect, ESP, and even remote viewing (I do not practice this as I believe this is a form of witchcraft). His book is free online, and his audiobooks are on YT.
I personally struggle daily in attempting to be sinless daily not by actions but by thoughts. I'm learning to be of the spirit and not of the flesh as stated by Paul in Romans. If I can master living in my spirit I believe it's possible to be righteous even though there were very few biblical people deserving of this term. Every day is it's a battle, the very fact that I'm alive in this flesh decaying body makes me a liability as I can potentially fall victim to my own fleshly desires and potentially damn my soul.
I believe over 80% of biblical prophecy has come true and more is coming to fruition every year. The Euphrates River is nearly completely dried up now and once this occurs the fallen angels will wipe out a third of the population. We're at a point where Yeshua spoke about wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, nations vs nations, all happening at large scales right now.
The Fake Jews aka Khazars of Babylon worship the Devil. Yeshua calls them son's of the devil and the synagogue of Satan. Their bloodline doesn't go back to Moses, it goes back to the fallen angels. This is why they're psychopaths and have no remorse for taking human life and completely destroying this entire earth. The real Hebrews will not reveal until end times. Everyone else is just adopting the name of the religion. The Talmud is where they speak all kinds of evil against Christians, mother Mary, Yeshua and gentiles. Read the Talmud which is man made and not divinely inspired.
