Read and answer my points first before you question me. That's being polite means.
I did.....Yet still does not address Matthew 27:46.
IMO point No.4 is the problem. You did not read what I wrote either in my response to Thomas.
And point No.8 is flawed, because If Jesus was only human and not God, it contradicts all the powers He displayed. If you say that is the work of the Holy Spirit, then it cannot discount that He was also God since the HS is Jesus. (Arguing from your POV).
Contradicts everything you stand for in your argument against the Trinity. (The part of distinction and the part where it is argued Jesus was only human and not God)

My boss has been accusing me of small crimes and mistakes....slander me call me irresponsible and not doing my work in front of everyone.
I ask God, why why you let your people get wrongfully accused. People in my office say look this is a Christian in the office but the enemy trampled him....where is his God to save him?
What kind of evangelism am I doing in the workplace??? People began to believe those false accusations those false disciplinary actions. I am.no longer the salt and light ....I am just a.piece of crap looked down.
It's so double standard..my staff make error and I have to pay the price...my staff is let off...
Now I am in dilemma.. .stay and fight for righteousness...fight this to court but be unemployed and not able to feed my family. Or resign before it get any worse and with a clean r e cord but struggle to explain to.New employer about why I resign without a job.
God can turn around what the enemy use against you.
You just continue in your walk with God.
Same thing happened to Joseph...when his brothers sold him as slave.
I know I.should trust Him...I.feel so tested....I.know I am.not suppose to worry...but I.have sleepless.nights thinking what I'd I have to face this persecution....my employment record.will.be blotched.by this kangaroo trial...and no co want to.hire me for some time.
My finances will be strained....My loan....My marriage....My career....
I am in dilemma if I should fight for righteousness...but risk being out of work...
If I resigned without a job....employers will ask me n raise suspicion
Sure, these are legitimate needs and worries (marriage, family, life, etc) I perfectly understand that because I've family like you but
I cannot force you to let go of your worries but God's kingdom..his principles works on letting go in faith and not worrying.
you do that, God will take care of your needs. Including preserving your career.
Matthew 13:4 (NIV) - As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
Morning guys or night...
We all know the Devil come to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus came to give life and life abundantly.
The very 1st thing the devil come to steal, is not your health nor your finances, etc.
The devil will 1st try to steal the word of God from your life, hence by that, when you have wrong belief (wrong faith..be it negative or wrong understanding) towards God or his word, the devil can steal the rest, easily. (your life, marriage, finances, etc)
The devil's weaponry against believers is to make them believe God is still angry with them because of sin, to cause misunderstanding, to cause doubt there are no more miracles..to propagate miracles are only valid during Bible days and not today..things like this.
When you buy in such lies of the devil, He got you. You will always be in lack because you don't believe God prospers, you will suffer some health condition because you don't believe God still heals today. You will fight for your own life, struggling thinking, you need to take care of your own self because you believe God word where it says if you seek His kingdom and his righteousness first, all the things you needed will be added isn't really true. Maybe it's only true for the super spiritual.
The devil greatest deception is to dismantle your faith in Grace and to always point your performance as gauge for Salvation and he uses God's word, especially the Laws of God to get you.
Whatever it is, when something goes wrong in your life. Check where you have believed wrong. Which word have been stolen from your life that have caused you to no longer believe in it.
John 12:49 (NIV) - For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.
Sorry but I see this verse proves beyond all doubt...Jesus does not speak to himself. This clearly shows there is distinction between Christ and Father God.
UW, yeeck, thomastai, and the rest. Sorry for my rudeness. God convicted me of my sin. Not because I am wrong in my beliefs, but because of my pride. What is knowledge without love, what is wisdom without love, and what are gifts of miracles without love. All are pointless. I have no desire to be in the forum actually. It was more like a duty anyways. So I will try not to appear again disturbing you all with my "weird ideas".
Again, I am sorry. Peace be to all. God bless.
It's understandable, you are passionate and have zeal for God, like the rest of us here.
But I hope you finally realize....in the Trinity doctrine..we subscribe to the believe there is only 1 God not 3 Gods. Please I hope you realize that.
In the past Christ came physically as a Man and He claim to be God. That is the physical evidence and his disciple wrote that record down for you to know.
Today, you can trace God when you study Israel how God has preserved them and gave them their land. That is your next physical evidence.
God is a spirit being, therefore you cannot see with your physical eyes. Also because God is a Holy God, because you have sin, you cannot come to where God is because sin has separated you from Him.
The only way to God is though Jesus Christ..not through your works not your performances, not through your charity works.
Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, turn away from sin..repent and believe God is a good God and you shall see God by your faith.
They got it wrong...I just saw snippet of the movie on The Nun & timeline history in youtube (I didn't watch any of the movies anyway)
stapling pages of the Bible on the wall, carving the name of the demon in the pages of the Bible and calling out the exact name of the demon.....not going to stop any demons.
haih....the ideas of what this worldly people comprehension on the powers of God and his kingdom........is really off the charts.
Well, some may say the land of Israel is due to sacrifices made from their citizens. Some may said its due to USA assistance. Some may said they snatch the land via military force.
Hence the physical evidence you mentioned is just an assumption.
It is "not necessary" for Israel to be able to do what they're doing. They could fail badly as well for all that matter.
What matters is..before any of this....God has writen down the record...it's on Israel. That they will be preseved and be blessed among the nations that people may know there is God of Israel who is also the God of Christians.
Whether it is by USA or their own military might...still does not necessary mean they will be able to do what they're doing. America failed badly in the vietnam war so that tells you nothing is automatic victory just because they're supportive. If you pin point it's just Israel military might that is great, mind you they're a small nation against a host of Islamic nation that COULD NEVER subdue them
So not an assumption to me because it is specific promised made by Almighty.

EVEN...the camel easier to go through the eye of a needle than Rich Man.... can be saved
Matthew 19:26 (NIV) - Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Too often we think that the verse below implies that it's a great challenge for rich people to be saved.
Matthew 19:23-24 (NIV) - 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.
Yet too often, verse 25 and 26 has been sideline or ignored. What does it say?
Jesus is saying..what is impossible with Man is not impossible for God. Meaning even such wealthy people can be saved and that is key importance.
By the virtue of this verse..there are some who teach in error and that wealth MUST be rejected and that Christian MUST live either in moderate or in poverty. Truth is, there is no such teaching from God. What Christ implore is not to seek wealth as the priority in life but God. God never teach, you must not be wealthy otherwise hard for you to be saved.
Let us not as Christian become ignorant or be a hypocrite in attacking others or condemning others with regards to this. Some thoughts for you to ponder.
If you can agree that God and Sin cannot mix then I'll explain, this world is a fallen world, tainted with Sin, hence God does not rule a fallen world but allow nature to run it's own course. Life and death is part of it's natural cycle. Because if God were to rule this earth, He will govern and rescue those that need help. There will be perfect harmony in this world.
Just to let you know..there is another god (small god) who rule this world, name is Satan. Most of the evil and confusion, started by this evil being. How he got this right to rule? That's another matter. (too long to explain)
But there will be a time in future where God will end this. It's call judgement day where the whole world, inc you...... will be judge for everything you've done or said. Even the people who died in accidents or disastors, their spirit don't die but will be brought before God for judgement.
The thing is......BEFORE any of this...God has given you a chance to repent of your sins and return to Him. Quite sure you've heard the gospel.
If you understood, what it's all about, God wants to end this world (because of it's pervasive evil), current world will be destroyed and there will be new Heaven and a New Earth where you are invited.
If You can come to terms with God, by admitting that you're sinner, you need God's help that you can't save yourself, God will accept you the moment you accept Christ Jesus (His Son) as your substitute, the one who saves you.
The thing is, what you wanted..that this world shouldn't have all these atrocity, evil, mishaps...disastors..is also what God wants. But as to why God allow everything to run as it is..I've just explained above.

John 1:29 (NIV) - The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
In the 1500 or 1600, the people back then thought that a baby receives blood from the mother through the placenta. However in today's medical science, we discover..the baby receive food from the mother, and not blood from the mother.
Did you know that the word of God says, Life is in the blood?
That is why Christ can be born sinless because He was not born of his earth father Joseph, neither was conceived through biological attachment of his earthly mother Mary.
Christ's blood, came from the Heavenly Father. This medical fact (baby does not receive blood from the mother) helps to reinforce the word of God is true, that ALL MAN has sin, that would include Mary.
Jesus is the ONLY one who is sinless in all there is in the world. That is why God the Father can only accept Christ as the perfect sacrifice, not you or anyone else. That goes along with "works"...only Christ perfect and FINISHED work is accepted by God the Father as justification for sin.
Do you know, back in the Old Testament, when a sinner goes to a Priest for sin atonement, the Priest does not examine the sinner? HE examines the animal sacrifice whether they have any blemish..because God will not accept blemish sacrifice.
The Bible says the OT is a shadow type or a copy of today's reality, with that being said, SAME THING, today God does not examine you when you come to God for justification for sin. Do you hear what I'm saying? I'm saying Today, God does not examine you, when you come to Him but He examines WHO IS YOUR LAMB.

What exactly the meaning of this verse Matthew 7:21-23?
21 “Not everyone who calls me Lord will enter God’s kingdom. The only people who will enter are those who do what my Father in heaven wants. 22 On that last Day many will call me Lord. They will say, ‘Lord, Lord, by the power of your name we spoke for God. And by your name we forced out demons and did many miracles.’ 23 Then I will tell those people clearly, ‘Get away from me, you people who do wrong. I never knew you.’
It just means that these people wasn't born again.
It's a false pretense, a claim that they knew God, participated with God (His Kingdom Work) but here God says He did not know them. Meaning there wasn't a relationship at all.
There are people who argued that these are Christians and they have fallen away..core argument is that they could lose Salvation.
For me...When God says He did not know them, God isn't doing a tongue in cheek statement..Because God cannot not lie. How can God says I never knew you 'IF" supposedly the person really did what they claim (demon deliverance, spoke with power, etc)? It would just mean God wasn't being truthful. God could have said "I knew you but....."
With that being said....For the verse to have correct context, they are people who were never born again. They lied about being able to do miracles or speaking on behalf of God.
God does not lie but people can lie. That is the point.
