    God's Wisdom versus Earthly, Sensual, and Demonic Wisdom about Instrumental Music

    I do not know if any musical instruments are inherently evil, and Scripture More Accurately who made the claim refuses to name the evil instruments, but… Different kinds of music can certainly open minds to spiritual effects. The Bible declares this truth. I Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    You falsely claim Jesus begged God not to cause Him to cease to exist after death. Jesus repeatedly proclaimed that He would be executed, then rise from the dead 3 days later. Jesus did not ask to be saved from death. Jesus knew He had to die and knew He would rise again. Luke 9:22 “The Son...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    I include the death, the crucifixion, along with the agony. You emphasize and isolate just the death, because you claim unbiblically that Jesus feared non-existence after He died. You cannot show from scripture that Jesus was dreading that He would not exist after death… since Jesus repeatedly...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    But Jesus was both God and man. His human side slept on the boat, then His divine side rebuked the storm and made it be still. His divine side did not hunger, thirst, or sleep, and was not tempted. His human side hungered, thirsted, slept, and was tempted. Matthew 26:41 — The spirit is...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    You deliberately misrepresent what I have been saying. I have repeatedly stated that the cup that Jesus asked if God would let pass from Him was the pain and agony of death by crucifixion, plus the horror of taking on Himself all the sins of the world, thus being forsaken temporarily by God...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    I have already shown you how the cup that Jesus asked about bypassing was not death, but was biblically the cup of God’s wrath. Death is never referred to as a cup. Matthew 26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except...

    Different kinds of music can certainly open minds to spiritual effects. The Bible declares this truth. I Samuel 16:23 And it came to pass, when the evil spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    @kyredneck - Jesus dreading the crucifixion agony, and asking if the cup of God’s wrath could be bypassed, has nothing to do with the impeccability of Christ…or wanting to abort His mission. If Jesus could have died painlessly and peacefully, He would not have prayed that specific prayer in...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    The Bible interprets itself. “Cup” as symbol in Old Testament means God’s wrath, not death or grave. Any concordance will show you verses about drinking from the cup of God’s wrath and fury against sin. I already quoted several for you. Jesus was not trying to avoid God’s will by asking if the...

    AI--What do you think?

    AI is replacing human thinking, just as robotics is replacing human labor. Programmers seek machine omniscience and machine omnipotence, so that humanity can finally be eliminated altogether. When humans are no longer needed for anything that requires thinking (writing, research, planning...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    The cup that Jesus asked the Father to take away from Him was the grave? In the Old Testament, the "cup" never signifies death. Cup frequently represents the fury and wrath of God poured out on wickedness. Thus, Jesus was hoping there might be some other way to redeem mankind. Jesus dreaded...

    Human vs. Divine Side of Jesus

    The possibility of Mary and Joseph teaching the Torah and Tehillim (Psalms) to the child Jesus hinges upon when the divine side of Jesus was obvious to Him. Age 3? Age 6? Age 12? Did Jesus discover His divinity by direct revelation by the Holy Spirit? Or when the young Jesus was reading the...

    Go out in Jesus Name

    But alleged “apostolic” tradition that contradicts the written Word must be rejected. The written Word of God is more reliable than any institution now, as it was also more reliable when the Pharisees enforced a temple tradition that had become corrupted. And when the alleged “apostolic”...

    The decline of Christianity that I see is comprised of mega church pastors and youth ministry leaders being caught committing adultery and horrendous crimes against vulnerable young women. The Church Leaders website documents these items weekly. https://churchleaders.com/ Then there is the...

    AI has created a new religion

    With gullible humans looking to ChatGPT bots as romantic partners and omniscient guides to life, the Anti-Christ seems to have his tyrannical global system in place to force all humanity to worship him. To pave the way, a test religion has been developed...

    What Angels are NOT

    “For in the resurrection they [God’s children] neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are AS THE ANGELS of God in heaven.” Matt 28:30 This verse does not say angels cannot reproduce, it just says they do not get married. Now since marriage is intended for companionship, mutual...

    Slavery Numbers

    Cannibalism and child sacrifice have been the norm in some regions centuries ago. But because these acts were considered normal, common, and morally acceptable, does not mean I cannot brand them as evil. The golden rule applies to all, no matter what period of history they may inhabit. Slavery...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    If God is using a type of music to spread the gospel, I’d be reluctant to call it evil or satanic. Even if you absolutely hate a type of music, it is better to say it is not edifying or it is not pleasing to you.

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    Male adornment is not directly commanded, but can be understood as being similar to how females are commanded to dress. 1 Timothy 2 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes...

    Songs and Christian Liberty

    I do not see how a suit and tie humbles anyone. While I like to dress up for church, I doubt that the audiences of the sermons of Jesus got all dressed up to hear Him. Many probably arrived dressed in their work clothes, as shepherds or other manual labor jobs. I do not see dressing up as...
