So you speak only of any process specific to a body that is dead, and only other than Jesus. Something miraculous, or a paranormal biology. I think I understand what you are saying now.

Owell. I guess you either cannot name a group you can associate with or that you do not think is a cult, or you refuse. I am willing to drop that matter as it seems clear enough. You can go on if you want.

Your example is colorful and good. Makes sense. It does not address my question, however. If the dog has faith it will behave faithfully. True. But that was not your argument.
Your argument, I think, that was that pistis means, no…

Newtons' 3rd Law. That would be right. However some events precede others in which case they offer no impact. I can offer more cases, but rather than argue that, how about we go back to a reasonable definition of Primary and Secondary Cause (if…

OK. So the nuance is the theological stance that every person inherited Adams sin and therefore their bodies decay, whereas Jesus body was miraculously formed, therefore he did not inherit genes or whatever that made him inherit Adam'…

I presume (I have to do that with most of what you say because you seldom just say a thing clearly) that you mean that all churches which "Christendom" in general does not consider a cult is a true church of which you could be a part a…

@Dave_L Sounds like Original Languages are not your thing. Probably they are not imperative for everyone. I would trust that those with less interest would …

I actually agree with you that we can wrangle too much about words as Paul told Tim in 2 Tim 2:14. I think we can even do that with the Bible…

Thanks. I guess you will not answer the question. I accept that.

I am curious where this is going. Does this have to do with the Jews and David are bad, cut off and they died and decayed, but Jesus was not really a Jew? Is this about Jesus not really having a human body? Is this about the body itself being …

I would love to understand this logic. You may be on to something, but if so, it is slipping right past me.
I don't like playing eternal guessing games (sometimes I wish you would just shot straight) but I will try:
Words and meanings matter to me. When a person juggles words and terms with abandon, communication becomes rather difficult.
(Quote)You use of "secondary cause" is not what the term means or how it works. What you describe is Primary Cause. You can't just pull the term out like a magic wand and wave it over contradictions and declare it them valid. It would se…
It would seem that words, even original languages actually do matter.
(Quote)So will you answer the question?
A little trifling over words prevents a lot of misunderstanding.
Tell me if words have power in the media, in a marriage, from a pulpit?
My view is that words and language have great power. Some of that comes from experience counseling, but much more from the Word of God.
God spoke the world i…

I think we are prone to focus on compassion and care for wild animals and helpless creatures. One other thing might be that we should use but not exploit natural resources; we should use them wisely so they are renewable.
My wife's dad didn't like dentists. He pulled several of his own teeth.
It also could not live. For any kind of ongoing biological processes to occur some of the processes for living are much the same for what happens after death.
(Quote)Why would you do that?
Dave, can you name any denomination that you do not think is a cult?
Arguments in favor might be that such a prayer would be meaningful because
1. Act of obedience
2. Causes us to have humility
3. Dave said he believes it aligns us with God's eternal decrees (If God is sovereign in the ways Dave…millennium
The period of 1,000 years referred to in Revelation chapter 20, during which Satan is bound and believers reign with Jesus Christ. This millennium is understood in different ways: as a period of unparalleled peace and prosperit…
When we pray “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done” we are praying for the return of Christ, the resurrection of the dead, the last judgment, and the life to come, in which the Dominion of God is finally fully manifested on earth. I am not seeing…
Right. It would not.
We will find out!
