@Van - “If we ask God to alter the outcome of our situation, are we not "testing" God. Are prayers where God's intervention in the physical world is sought, actually prayers in accordance with God's will?” Jesus asked God if the cup could pass from Him, but He also said: if not, Thy will be...

You “work with the Word of God” in a way that does not help anyone, for your scripture quotes are often not relevant to the specific discussion. Plus you are prideful and arrogant about it.

We can do both, as documented throughout the scriptures. We can pray that God deliver us from evil and also that God give us the strength to endure afflictions. Both types of prayer are meaningful. Instances of believers asking God to deliver them from trouble are numerous, from Job to Jonah to...

Matthew 24:30 (ESV): "Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory". Acts 1:11 (ESV): "This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will...

Did Jesus save the thief on the cross? If salvation means going to paradise after death?

Compared to the lost, unsaved who perish, those who enter heaven will be a small number. Even though a great multitude will be in heaven, a much larger multitude will, sadly, be somewhere else, according to Jesus. Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth...

No, you give us irrelevant scriptures that go off on tangents. The question is “where is heaven?”

Again, you quote a lot of verses, but none of them are relevant to the question “where is heaven?”

You quoted 6 verses. But only one of them directly deal with heaven. The question is “where is heaven?”

God’s impossibility is a concept based on the “unmoved mover” of Greek philosophy. The term comes from the Latin passio (suffering), meaning God is incapable of being "passive" or acted upon by creation in a way that changes his divine nature. Many contemporary theologians reject...

“Heaven is the palace, or presence-chamber, of the Supreme Being who is both the cause and source of all holy love. God, indeed, with respect to his essence is everywhere. He fills heaven and earth. But yet he is said on some accounts more especially to be in some places rather than others. He...

Excellent, thoughtful question. Jesus prayed so fervently that He sweated what seemed like great drops of blood. He asked if the cup of God’s wrath could pass from Him. Apparently, the human side of Jesus was concerned about the pain, agony, anguish, misery, torture, humiliation, torment, and...

You are wrong about a few things. You said: “No one besides the Nation Israel knew anything about the OT scriptures and it would be useless to draw them with the scriptures.” It has been pointed out that there were Gentiles who learned the OT scriptures in the temple. But even if a person did...

The Simple Answers website states: https://www.thesimpleanswers.com/articles/2012/04/15/how-did-jesus-learn-he-was-god/ Jesus became a man to prove that a human, physical man could obey God perfectly, on an even footing without the slightest advantage. I showed that the slightest leg-up on us...

On the contrary, the cessationist doctrine that the so-called “sign gifts” have been mysteriously discontinued when the first apostles died, and we cannot minister gifts of miracle healings to our brothers and sisters makes Christians feel helpless when sickness attacks them. “By His stripes ye...

Galatians 6:14 EASY VERSION But I do not want to say any great things about myself. The only thing that makes me great is our Lord Jesus Christ's death on the cross. Because of Christ's sacrifice on the cross, it is like I have also died. The things that belong to this world have become dead to...

So we better make sure we get both the bread and the wine!

To lead seems the same as to draw. Romans 2:4 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? The word ἐλκύσω, "I will draw," is applied elsewhere (John 6:44) to the Father's work of grace...

I believe you. I think Martin Luther was very opposed to priests being the only ones who drank the wine at Eucharist. But if some Catholic Churches provide the bread and the wine to the members, that is fantastic!

Absolutely. A legitimate Gospel of Mary would be nice, her telling details about Jesus from a baby to 30 years old.
