Going back, I'm saying there is no such thing as free will. Even God does not have a free will because God IS Love. And perfection cannot change to imperfection.

Only sinful flesh can decompose. Jesus was sinless. Also he was the incorruptible Word of God who became Flesh (the likeness of sinful flesh). You are robbing God of his glory to attribute the miraculous nature of his death, burial, an…

Jesus was God as far as his person (nature). And man as far as his soul and body (nature). He raised his body and soul from the grave after 3 days and nights.

The gospel includes Christ's death, burial, and resurrection. But you are discounting the value of his burial suggesting he was subject to the same decay any sinner who dies of old age is. And you follow by suggesting God limited the d…

The creeds say Jesus was fully human as far as his nature. But His Spirit was God, not human. If he was fully man and fully God he would have two persons instead of one.

The difference is in the term "Corruption" also translated "decay". It is a direct result of sin. The wages of sin is death. But Peter says:
“Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things
(Quote)The problem is that you cannot confess Jesus as the Lord (Greek Kurios) if you do not believe he is. Lord (Kurios) = God. Used by the LXX for YHWH hundreds of times.
(Quote)We must guard against doing what less fortunate have done, that is: “And [they] changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.” (Romans 1…
(Quote)If God IS Love, how can he will not to be and still exist?
Is Jesus Deity? Notice that Jesus says he will raise his body from the dead. And Peter says God raised him from the dead.
“Jesus replied, “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up again.”” (John 2:19)
“But he spake…
I'm using the NET for my yearly read through and see a lot I missed using KJV in years past. I'm hoping to use one of the other newer translations next year (Lord willing). But I use the KJV for any critical comparison of texts.
(Quote)You are reading "time" into Peter's and Paul"s scriptures. Forcing an interpretation based on who knows what. I'm only saying you cannot do that and remain true to the text.
(Quote)It sounds as though you are beating a dead horse. No pun intended. But as I pointed out before, the abortionists use your same mode of thinking when they say life does not become valid until so much time passes by. But we know it begin…
(Quote)If Peter and Paul quote and interpret David saying Jesus' body saw no decay, it means exactly that. None of the three say anything about time being the reason. The fact is, Jesus is the incorruptible Word of God which also means exactl…
- In Gn 6:1, 4, who were the Nephilim?
- Who were the "Sons of God" and the "daughters of men"?
- Was the Flood worldwide (water covered earth or just a section of the earth)?
- What was lost during the Flood?

(Quote)I already provided evidence. But I'll rephrase it: how can the incorruptible Word become corruptible flesh and still be the incorruptible Word that dwelt among us?
Also as I mentioned, Peter and Paul both said Jesus' body would…
(Quote)If you ask how God can die, I already answered he cannot.
If you ask if Jesus is God how can He then die? I answered that he also had a human body and soul that died but his Spirit (God) did not.
(Quote)All of your above questions depend on how you view Christ. My view is that He is God the creator of all in Spirit (the part of him that says "I", "me"). And being God, His Spirit cannot die. And His mind or soul, the seat of memory and…
I believe Jesus established the Kingdom at Pentecost. But because of its spiritual nature, and the fact that one must be born again to see it, many look aimlessly for the physical kingdom the symbols used by the prophets only foreshadowed.

I have some experience in Pentecostalism but became a Cessationist. Anyone can google "Cessationist" and read many good arguments for or against. But here is a rundown of my position if any might be interested.
I'm a cessationist believin…
(Quote)"tempted, yet without sin" is why Jesus' body was not subject to decay. In fact, Peter and Paul both imply it was so far removed from him, he would not even SEE it from a distance.
(Quote)It all comes down to your saying Jesus was made of corruptible flesh instead of being made in the LIKENESS of corruptible flesh. And if the incorruptible Word became flesh, would not the flesh, it became, be incorruptible too?
(Quote)Even God does not have a free will if motivated by Love. How much less man or animal, if their only motive is self serving? Even your presumed choice of salvation is self serving.
(Quote)I'm just saying what Paul said without interpretation. If God works all things after the council of his own will, how can anything created work anything after the council of its own will? Especially when Paul says "it is God who works …
Was Jesus Deity?
Peter says: “and you killed the Creator of Life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.” (Acts 3:15)
(Quote)This is not my theology, it is what Peter says without reading ideas into it. Moreover it is the position of the Westminster Divines quoted earlier.
(Quote)I believe you and Wolfgang are providing a backdrop against which I can present contrasting views. This is why I said "inadvertently" while claiming his support.
(Quote)Thanks for chiming in and inadvertently lending support for my position....
(Quote)You are wrong on all counts. The Kingdom arrived when Jesus said it did. Jesus did not fail to establish it as Scofield claims. The Kingdom is spiritual in nature. But only the born again can see it. And Jesus presently rules over the …
