Continuing, I understand the tendency to alibi for a Bible hero. I don't like the sound of this: "And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of...

I agree with your view of this; there’s no way to live among dogs and not get dog hair and fleas on yourself. The narrative tells of just one ungodly...
1 Thessalonians 5:23 reveals that we are created with three parts: spirit, soul, and body. The spirit operates independently of the soul (mind) and the body....

Faith in Christ absolutely, but not faith alone in Christ alone. Israel must possess faith at that time, but must also "endure unto the end". As James...

Is the new covenant not centered on Christ? So won't "faith alone in Christ" be part of it?

You are right most manuscripts don't have it. However, the Byzantine (early 4th century) and Textus Receptus (16th century so not as helpful) do. To further...

Okay Jack. "God forbids divination." He does. What are we told about sin committed by Joseph? I don't believe his pride for being his father's favorite son...
Comment:
"It was a ploy." Maybe it was; but we don't have any proof that it was. What we do know, is that Joseph said with his own mouth that the cup was his, and...

One of my earthly father’s explanations of why he told you to or not do a certain thing was simply BECAUSE I SAID SO! Circular reasoning, you bet, but you...

Considering that Ephesians 4:26-27 later draws a distinction between anger and sin, this would indicate to me that not all human anger is by nature sinful,...

If we are saved by faith in Jesus, will we still be judged by our deeds or works?

How is "the atonement never loses effect" different from future sins being already forgiven? Yes, judicially, God is no longer imputing our trespasses unto...

John Appelt, thank you for your truly enlightening comments!

Numbers 28:1 - 29:40
God's word is very clear about this - the book of James 2:24-26 says "faith without works(deeds) is dead" gotta have both. It does not not mean that to keep...

Then (according to your theory) Zipporah saved Moses' life by circumcising their son. Because that's the way the narrative reads. That after she circumcised...
Comment:
It might seem strange, but the text wouldn't make grammatical sense to be about killing the boy and letting the boy go. Plus, since he wasn't Moses'...
Comment:
Atonement doesn't cover future sins. Rather, Jesus' sacrifice was so perfect, and offered by Himself as the perfect High Priest, that it never loses effect...

Yes, exactly, this question was forever settled in Acts 15, there should be no debate.

I think it depends on what is actually meant when it's said that a family is dealing with a generational curse. I don't buy the idea that "generational...

While an interesting theory, the Hebrew grammar supports that it was Moses who the Lord (or an angel of the Lord, manuscript dependent) sought to kill. "Met...

God restraining /forbearing from immediate judgement doesn't mean "He said yes" to an action or evil thought. Nor does an evil thought or act happening mean,...

I seriously doubt this episode means that God was deliberating on killing Moses. The narrative is one of many in the Bible that is poorly constructed; it...

Paul, you seem to be operating from a non-normative definition of free will. Free will is defined as the capacity to make non-determined choices/the...

God is indeed sovereign! He's King of kings and Lord of lords. That in no way logically or morally mandates that if X evil thought or action happens in this...

Flapping our arms to fly isn't clearly an absurdity, trying to do what we're unABLE to do (not simply lacking official permission)? If God must make all our...

I think the definitions of "free" may be the contention. We indeed have the ability to choose right versus wrong (free will), but there is a cost for...

What's the difference between what we deem as a smart choice or an absurdity? We can chose, and we will be held accountable, but God being God, we cannot nor...

Clearly you missed the part where I said we can't choose absurdities. And if we have no power/ability to say no, then we're incapable of sin/rebellion. "We...

You don't see what you just said? God allows us to make free choices?! Free will doesn't exist. God allows us to make choices, but they are far from free. Go...

"God allows us a will, but it is not free or He would cease to be God." I disagree. As I mentioned, God in his sovereignty can allow us to make free choices....

I see a tremendous mistake being made here by Christians. There is a massive difference between 'free' will and a will. As I quoted earlier, the definition...
