That's an understatement. You still didn't answer the question. Did Jesus die on a real cross or was what He was nailed to something other than a literal cross.

There is nothing in that text that even remotely suggests this is an example of someone who appears to be saved and then falls away. Jews always had an interest and fascination with signs and miracles. 1 Cor 1:22. That is what this text shows and Jesus is correcting their views. Good night...

This wasn't said by Jesus to show that faith is a work, but Jesus was answering their question according to the way they asked it. A similar usage of such is where the rich young ruler asked Jesus "what good thing must I do to inherit eternal life". Jesus didn't tell him that he needed to...

Have you heard of the Black man on a slave ship who was asked to pray on the white man's sinking ship! The captain admitted that blacks knew how to pray, so then summoned one them to pray for the ship. The black man answered, "Lord, when we get on the bus, the sign said, 'whites only'. When...

HisWitness. Do you believe that Jesus died on a real cross, or was it a stake?

Of course fire isn't real, them fish just cooked themselves. Peter warmed his hands over a fake fire and just WISHED his hands would warm up. In 2 Thess 1:8, "In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God", the word for fire in this verse (as well as the other NT passages I've...

The answer to that is in the verses sited. I included all the of the verses that covered faith, believe not, and obedience to the gospel as well as knowledge of Christ. It is not merely proliferation of knowledge, the gospel of Jesus Christ is not a Gnostic concept which appears to be what you...

We can deal with Preterism another time as I have written about that as well. But 95% to 5%? I'll take those odds anyday. But you on the other hand should be willing to admit that you could be 100% wrong, and so far you have offered nothing Biblical to support your arguments.

I disagree that faith is a work of any kind. You are correct about Ephesians 2:8, that salvation is the gift, not faith, but consider the implications if faith is a work. Eph 2:8 says we are saved THROUGH FAITH. If faith is a work, and the 2 are synonymous, then that essentially argues that we...

This was quoted from Revelation 20 which is yet future. There will become a time when it does not exist, but that has not happened yet, and even when it does happen, the Feds will be transporting the prisoners to their permanent facility: the lake of fire. So as of now, it still exists. When it...

So you are basically arguing that God is an unbalanced God. God's attributes are perfect. To say that any of His attributes "outweigh" any other is to say that there is some part of God that is less God than other parts. You have erected an erroneous view of the nature of God, not to mention...

Are you a 7th Day Adventist or a Jehovah's Witness? Or do you just believe their view on Hades and Sheol.

You are looking at this backwards. Hell is not used to describe Hades and Sheol, but Sheol and Hades used to describe hell. Even my unconverted Jewish fellows understand the Hebrew implication in these verses. But notice that in Revelation 20, HELL is cast into the lake of fire. Hell gives up...

Actually, it IS in the OT. Isaiah 5:14 "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." Furthermore, all the references in the NT by Christ are technically still...

Part 2 Part 2 continued from above post

Part 1 Again you are missing the point. I did not use the verse to prove a usage of "your sins are forgiven" but to show that your reasoning for why the Syro-Phoenician woman really wanted help is erroneous. You are relying on her REASONS as being a justification for nullifying her...

You are confusing the mission of Israel with the remnant of Israel. Where does it say that "preserved OF ISRAEL" is anyone in the church? It doesn't. The preserved of Israel will be shown in the tribulation. You can not get around the fact the beginning with the 144,000 of the tribes of ISRAEL...

"I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." John 8:24 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son...

HW, I wrote an article on my website a while back that explains some of this. Others here have added some useful analysis as well. It's short and sweet, nothing real technical, but right to the point. HELL! Would a Loving God Send Anyone There.

Just because the text doesn't not specifically say "your sins are forgiven" doesn't mean she wasn't saved. I believe she was and I have given several other examples of people who were saved who gave less evidence of their repentance and faith in Christ than she did. She demonstrated Biblical...
