Isn't that called a bribe? Appeal to authority. "Experts in a field [who] know a bit more than I do" can be wrong too, you know. Special pleading won't help you. Which doesn't align with the evidence... It's not assuming when the record of history shows them to be acting in the best...

Because you say so? We? You have a mouse in your pocket or something? "Begged to be spared"? Not quite. He asked if there was any other way (there wasn't) but if there wasn't, He was willing to go to the cross. He wasn't. I think you need to read Isaiah 53. A God who goes willingly...

Indeed. Love must be freely given. If it isn't free, it isn't love. I always think of God's reconciliation this way: Man tore down the bridge between God and man. (Man sins.) God rebuilt that bridge. (Christ died on the cross.) Man now has the opportunity to cross that bridge. (Man must...

Because some pain is worth much love. Because He is the God who provides. By Him going to the cross, He provided a way for those who love Him to be with Him.

To provide salvation by dying on the cross? I'll let Jesus' words and actions answer that question: He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” . . . Again, a...

I will point out that Paul calls the law (which is what the twelve were preaching to the Jews) a curse. Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” ), - Galatians 3:13...

Ah, not so much oof then.

Oof

Jesus was referring to the Mosaic law. Yes, if you keep the two great commandments, you will fulfil the law of Moses, but you must still keep the law if you do.

Just the greatest commandments? No. He would have kept the ENTIRE Law. Else He would have been a hypocrite when He said: “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one...

See https://theologyonline.com/threads/is-the-king-james-bible-the-only-inspired-scripture-on-earth-today-battle-royale-xiv.30393/ and https://kgov.com/kjo for that. This isn't the thread for that discussion.

Gehenna is a real place, used as an illustration of what hell is like. He does. Just not in that specific passage. Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel, and do not know these things?Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen...

Duh... Again... Duh... You said nothing about "sleep" though. You said "separation," which is the definition of death, not a euphemism for it. Separate them, and yes, the concepts WOULD be, in a figurative sense, dead to each other. Hence why I gave you the article to read. What he said...

At the most, their paths after the Great commission are unclear, and some extra-biblical accounts are contradictory. My point remains, however. The Bible makes it clear that something had changed that caused them to not "make disciples of all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son...

Was looking into something on https://kgov.com/kjo and found this short video. Worth a watch.

And as I have pointed out to you before, they ended up NOT doing what He told them to do, not to any significant extent recorded in the Bible at least. I wonder why... It's almost as if they recognized that what they were teaching was no longer relevant except to those in their immediate...

Climate change go BRRRRRR!

In other words, celebrating fake or made up holidays is celebrating lies. And we know who the father of lies is...

Except kwanzaa... Luminalia is the future! (made up holiday for a game I play) But in all seriousness, recognition of what God has done for mankind is a good thing, and too many holidays causes them all to lose their value.

Good catch. I didn't see that.
