If the Kingdom is not at in part eschatological, then we would never pray, "Your Kingdom come."

Heritage influence in my background would include some Anabaptist views. Anabaptists see themselves as part of the Reformation, but were pretty much-branded heretics by most Reformationsists, mainly due to views on rebaptizing those baptized as …

Well said. Jesus was none of those things you mention (as I understand them--which I don't very much). Nowhere in the Bible is Jesus described in the ways you mention above. Yet He is clearly described as God who came in flesh.

Dave, perhaps no harm will come from believing as you do. The reason to discuss the matter is that by high-centering on a tiny detail taken out of context to the extent that it means something entirely wrong, one misses the far more i…

One thing we learned is that moisture management matters. Keep things around your face dry, like scarves or helmets. A little duct tape (ouch) can help on potentially exposed areas. Pay attention often to any potentially exposed area.

Interesting question. Thinking about it I find myself creating parameters here and there and defending my reason for doing so. So for now, I will try to cast those off. Perhaps because I identify as a Pilgrim (and look a little bit like one), I…

Oh, I am sure our speculations are all much the same! The point is to discern wild speculation from fact with an illustration as to why.

Bad guess.
GOPers don't want the FBI to see the proof for the same reason any lawyer doesn't tell, blow by blow, what he knows about the other side.
Like Wolfgang already said.
A lot of speculation follows terms…

I find your illustrations and allusion to Jesus offensive.Maybe you could address the points I made above rather than ignore them, and then you don't have to resort to repug…

Well, there would be a great many scholars among the LDS, JW's, Iglesia ni Cristo, Christadelphians, Christian Scientists, Dawn Bible Students, Living Church of God, Muslims, etc.

I don't know what you mean by "rot." I realize you are not a biologist. But in the sense you may possibly be meaning I suppose you might be more or less right.

What you say is good and true and does not address what I said. I just wondered if you wanted to address what I wrote.

Well, most of the Jews rejected Him back then. Many still do.

Frankly, the Deity of Jesus Christ is the main point of the New Testament. If that point isn't true, the rest is pretty useless.
Jesus said he was God, did things God does, proved He was God. That pretty well settles it.

I think eschatology is a very minor point in divisions--probably insignificant. It is the smoke, not the fire of divisions. Differing theology such as Covenental vs Dispensational are major players. Theology informs eschatology. Thus basic th…

Paul was arguing that David could not be speaking of himself in Ps 16:10. We can be pretty sure David eventually returned to dust, like everyone else. As we know, Jesus did not. See Acts 2:29-31. Also don't miss Acts 13:35-36 before reading 37-3…

What do you mean by decay? He had no digestion? No normal body cells? No bacterial action occurring at all? Perhaps His body just looked human but was really plastic or something, unaffected by the second law of thermodynamics.

Glad you are ok. Amazing how much abuse our bodies can take and be OK. Amazing, how God made our bodies to heal.

Hope you heal soon. Take care of it. I frostbit this and that (both minor)--my leg was no problem (my pants froze fast to my shin once), but my nose had a scar for a few years but it has healed over now. There is hope! The leg was in Alaska, …

So in short, your positions would be that Emmanuel in no way reference to Jesus.
The context is the birth of Jesus. The text says:
Now **all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord **through the prophet:

Thanks, Mitchell. Today we made some progress.

Thanks, Jan. Right now the guy is in a hospital and apparently, no one speaks his language. There are issues with police and such and we are working on that. I welcome any advice based on your experience or contact with someone who does have e…

Maybe we could take a look at "Emmanuel," which means "God with us." Mt 1:23.
For reference consider:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . . . and the Word became flesh and dwelt a…

I find that logic baffling. If I have nothing to do with my salvation, then I am not saved. If I exist, I have something to do with my salvation if only being the object of it. But Scripturally there is clearly more.

Bill, this is one time I really hope you are right. Really, really hope.

I forgot to mention that my position is baptism for adult (whatever that means) believers. I do not support infant baptism, but can see why some may authentically believe it to be valid.
-
Having spent some time reading defenses of Infant Baptism, I think tradition is a strong part of it. However, if one embraces strong Covenental theology and understands baptism to replace circumcision, then I can see a strong argument in favor. …

When we try to understand God by what we know of humans, we just don't get the whole picture of God. When we try to fit him in the box of human limitations we keep discovering error. God is greater than that. The Trinity describes something of…

So, "it is the number of a man" doesn't mean "number" or "man?"
