So what? There is only one "name" referenced. "In the name of" is indeed an invocation of authority. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/in--the--name--of

EVERYTHING He said is important. Don't be like Thomas Jefferson who cut out what he didn't like from the Bible, including much of what Jesus said.

It's possible to "love" someone straight to Hell. Of course, that's not really love, it's hatred, but those who call good evil and evil good do the same with love and hate. It's an act of mercy to slap someone when they're falling asleep at the wheel. Yeah, it may hurt, but it prevents them...

Throwing insults is something Jesus Himself did, not to mention several of His prophets, and for good reason. Are you sure you want to make that argument? There IS such a thing as righteous anger, you know... Inane.

Duh. And yet, scripture itself is clear enough in any language to be able to discern its meaning. I know what it says. IT DOESN'T SAY that the Lamb was slain from the foundation of the world. You're omitting the most important part, and that is causing your confusion. Don't leave out the...

"Name" is singular in both the greek and the english. There is only ONE name being invoked ("in the name of" is a call of authority) in Matthew 28:19.

We do things differently here on TOL. Been that way for a lot longer than I've been here.

No, it's "The Book from the Foundation of the World of the Lamb Slain." Not how it's worded in English, but that is how it's meant in the greek. (@Right Divider)

Yup. Exactly. John 7:24 Matthew 7:1-5 Last I checked, those are things Christ Himself said.

Name calling (and for that matter, insults as well) is allowed on this forum. Name calling (et al) without cause is not.

"... [she] has a history of making false claims against deputies..." Why hasn't she been flogged yet?

No, I don't assume they are always telling the truth. Nor do I assume they're always lying.

Aren't you being a hypocrite, right now, judging her for judging? See my comment in the other thread (and if you wish to reply, do so in that thread).

You forgot the part where Floyd, a 6'4", 223lbs man was resisting arrest, and Chauvin, a 5'9", 140lbs man was trying to get him to stop resisting. Because you say so? No one wants anyone to kneel on their necks, especially not criminals who, being larger than the officers who are trying to...

No, faith is not a work. Had enough yet? Keeping a command in the hopes of obtaining a reward is a work. Following a command because one knows that one CANNOT obtain the reward through obedience to a command is not a work. Accepting God's gift (because IT IS A GIFT, offered to all mankind)...

He had enough in his system for him to go crazy while resisting arrest, which resulted in his death. That was because of the drugs.

No, it's not. This is fun, isn't it. Repeating yourself doesn't magically make your statements come true.

No, it's not a work. Faith is a response to God's calling. It's not a work. Again, letting go of the rope (faith) and trusting Christ to carry you (belief) is NOT the same as climbing the rope oneself (works).

Clanging symbol, be quiet. Faith is not a work. Letting go of the rope to heaven and letting Christ carry you is not the same as climbing that same rope.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I don't think that there's any sort of conspiracy going on (especially when it comes to things like "mind control"). I simply recognize that evil things are done by evil people, whose interests usually align simply because they hate and reject the...
