    ...Unbiblical. Let's keep studying. CM

    Reformed,
    Personally, I think you are being unfair:

    1. I think I give more references in these forums than anyone else. I do so not because I know more, to show off or it's required, but to add other voices and sources …

    Wolfgang,
    Is there salvation in Mary, the mother of Jesus? If not, why not? Should one pray to her in any way for anything? Is Jesus, Joseph's biological son? If not, how was he conceived, according to Scripture? Can it be explai…

  • Brethren,

    More on the Use of figures of speech in the Bible-- The Book of John.

    To be classified as a Johannine riddle, a saying should satisfy most of these conditions:

    Reformed,
    You have to do better than this. For someone who always requiring people "prove it", can surely direct us to what you have said or just repeat it. We are not asking for everything you have said in the p…

    I and others are holding you accountable for your statement above. Here's how you can fix it:

    1. State what I said on the subject and changed positions.
    2. What specifically did I supported and changed back?
    3. Wh…
    1. A second child died in America's care.
    2. It takes two years to visit the troops in a war.
    3. Trump is the first President to NOT to visit the troop on Christmas.
    4. He closed the gov't before Christmas hurting family. Hear…
  • Reformed,
    A simple read of my post above, Dec 10, 2018, is a shorter trip to the historical read of "The Immaculate Conception". Have you not read it?

    It's not a matter of timing of the two teachings, but the content and substance. …

    If you could prove your assumption, it's would be a hollow victory. You see, "Dispensational teachings" are deviations from the Bible. My first task and responsibility are to understand the Word.

    Keep studying. "Doubling down" …

    I would love you to be more detailed with reason, facts, biblical texts, and/or references. Give me a little more than "... you are just plain wrong". I would even be opened to targeted insights from other authors and "sober" thinkers…

    Reformed,

    Let's get BACK TO THE BIBLE ON WINE.

    In light of what has been shared thus far, I wonder, what are you telling your family and members, drink or no-drinks this holiday or any other time? The t…

    Did you missed that Jesus is "...the exact imprint of his nature." Jesus is the image of God..." means, “to compare, liken” (Isa 40:18, 25; 46:5, 5) and “image” (Gen 1:26, 27; 5:3; 9:6).

  • Brethren,
    Let's remain focused on the text and topic immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary. Re-read the OP. Thanks. CM

  • Wolfgang,
    May I suggest you read or re-read my OP in the thread of "Sin in the Bible: A definition" (Page 1) in prep to discuss "original sin".

    As for Rom. 5.12 --

    With your approach and conclusions, it appears that some truths will remain unearthed (whether for lack of time or hardened positions) for other or another to excavate with openness, prayer, and Bible study. CM

    PS. I am not ups…

    Have we forgotten how the Bible was written? The Bible writers were God's "penmen" not God's pen. The Bible is a Divine-human product. Under "inspiration" "Holy men wrote as they were "moved by the Spi…

    It was honest of you to point this out. After providing the very basic information about the purpose and contents of his work, John addresses the original recipients of the book. Rev 1:4, contains the Trinitarian greetings

    Bill,
    The cited texts may "NOT support a Trinitarian view" in one place, but Heb 2:11, reflects the Sonshow the same attributes who "sanctifies" as the Father (1 Thess. 5:23) and the Holy…

  • Wolfgang,
    The answers to questions are in my questions to you for a foundational understanding of where you are:
    1. Do you believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God through human writers?
    2. Do you believe that Jesus is th…

    This is the subject of a new thread. Until I get there what is your understanding of the "false doctrine about 'original sin/sin nature'? CM

  • Let's settle it! God is one in three. The Bible teaches it. No debate is needed.

    The concept of the Trinity is foundational to several crucial Christ…

    Only if Mr. Trump would keep his campaign slogan and repeated words, "Mexico will pay for it". This "man-baby" is shutting the Govt down (hurting families, just before the holidays) because he can't have his sick way. This is shameful!…

    Namely, because there is nothing you can say beyond, "Amen". And to keep from crying, why not laugh. However, America will have the last word.

    As much as you felt I didn't answer your question (or at least, not directly), be assured, we're certain on the identity of the ABC Cooking pot, if for nothing else. in Two Tribulations? Comment by C Mc December 2018

  • America remains heartless in allowing a child to die in her care ["A Culture of Cruelty"-- over 1300 children imprisoned for over 20-days] when she could have been saved. If little respect is shown for a sick little girl, I can s…

  • Trump can walk out or be impeached out. He has to go! His administration appears to be the most investigated and corrupted of any US Administration in America's history. It's shameful and a disgrace. Don't take my words, read the facts for yourse…

  • @ CM said: For a better understanding of the conception of the Parousia in Matt 24, it is necessary to explore briefly some Old Testament theophany passages. The most important passage is that of the theophany on Mount Sinai, set…

    Fairness and reason say, you can't study Matt 24 without studying Matt 25. When are we going to get off this spiritual treadmill (ever moving and not going anywhere)? The Word deserves to be "rightly divided" for its truth, increasing …

    Consider Scriptural truth about Jesus:

    Christ read from the scroll of Isaiah (Isa. 61:1–2). He concluded saying, “Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). Justin Martyr (ca. 100–165), in his First Apology…

  • Dave,

    A LITTLE BACKGROUND:

    The expression "great tribulation", this phrase is first used in Daniel 12:1 (KJV).

    The great tribulation is not portrayed in Rev. 7, but in Rev. 13:11-17 and chapters 15-18. In Rev 7, John is in…
