We neither know that he did tell it nor that he didn't tell it to him.
Jesus was very clear in other passages.
"For all who take up the sword will die by the sword." (Matthew 26:52)

Let's differentiate between military service under a non Christian nation and under a Christian nation.
Soldiers in the Roman army, after converting to Christianity, usually chose to lay down their weapons and even be martyred rather than…

I've just noticed, it's already two years old, and not just published.
I wonder why it popped up in my Facebook feed. But anyway, it's good to have found it. -
Good answer, published right on time for this discussion.

What's the difference between a spirit and a spiritual body then?
It wouldn't make sense if the meaning of "spiritual body" would be "spirit without body".

I absolutely agree. Satan has tempted him, but that can't be an excuse for his own sinful act. Judas Iscariot gave in to temptation, acted accordingly, and was personally punished for the deed.

The key to this passage is the word "natural" body (psychikos). It is easier to understand than its contrast "spiritual" body. Let's look at a word study.
So true. A friend of mine has produced a movie about the issue. It had been banned in Cambodia for many years because it speaks out the truth. The governments in SE Asia try to deny the true extent.

I've been wondering, where are the voices in Islam condemning sexual abuse of children?
Every single case destroys a life, no matter whether the abuser is a Catholic priest, or follows Muhammad marrying a child bride of 6 years.

Let me quote Frank Turek on the question.
"He gave enough evidence to convince the open-minded, but not enough to overwhelm the free will of those wishing to cling to their own traditions."

This thread is getting too long and too complex. Let's draw a line here, and for all open issues, create new (more specialized) threads.
Instead of appending new posts here, please open a new thread with a suitable subject l…
(Quote)Thanks for actually bringing up this point. Together with the passage from Hebrews (Jesus being the CAUSE of salvation), this proves that Jesus existed prior to Abraham and all other OT saints.
Christ's redemptive sacrifice can…
(Quote)It is a logical impossibility to "become the cause/source" of something that has already happened.
(Quote)Exactly.
God is the author of salvation. Christ is also the author of salvation.Hebrews 5:9 (KJV) "And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him."
Therefore Christ …
Let me add to the collection of Scripture we already have on the question.
Isaiah 43:11 "I myself am Yahweh, and there is no savior besides me!"
And we already had the following one, albeit in a different context.

Now there's a case in Australia of the authorities separating an immigrant from her child.

Apart from that I can only tell you what I've heard from my Russian friends.

Let me share what's happening here in Europe. We're in no position to point fingers at America.
We have refugees here from Russia; Evangelical Christians with adopted children. So why have they fled to Europe? Reason is, only Eastern Orth…
I was just browsing through FL e-books, and found another interesting book on the topic:

(Quote)I was not at all suggesting to compromise truth. Let me put it into a Biblical example. The Athenians, among many gods, had one particular God they were worshipping, and called him the "unknown God". Paul explained to them that this "u…

To me it seems quite outlandish to shift the responsibility of terrorism away from the terrorists to the victims.
Additionally, a lot of ancient antijudaism was not based on their rejection of Jesus the Messiah, but on their rejection to …
Au contraire. There are too many inconsistencies, which evolution scientists either ignore, or they keep doctoring false facts until they match their world view.
Example: let's examine the 99% genetic similarity of humans and chimpanzees,…
To me as a non American, the mystery clears up considerably when I consider Hillary Clinton's comments about supporting abortion, as well as several public appearances of Mike Pence, during which he displayed what seemed to be genuine godliness.<…
(Quote)And that includes loving the LBTQXYZ people (not their lifestyle, but the people). Even if they despise us. Something we tend to forget easily.
A lot of violence has been committed in the name of Christ, and to this day this is one of the reasons why it is so hard for Jews to trust in Christ, who faced forced conversions, persecution and death under his name for centuries.
