    Featured “The Gospel of John” has an anonymous author

    I’m talking about the book of Revelations. It closed the canon of scripture.

    Featured “The Gospel of John” has an anonymous author

    The completion of scripture is not a problem at all for Christians. If God can create the universe out of nothing, it would be easy for Him to ensure the canon of scripture is complete. With the Revelation the scriptures were complete. Everything a person needs to know for salvation and...

    Featured Polygamy was immoral according to a Catholic author. My response to this.

    Jesus made it clear that from the beginning, God’s intention was marriage to be between one man and one woman. Just because God allowed multiple wives does not mean He endorsed the practice. Matt.19:4-5 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the...

    That’s what I thought. And yet I often find myself in trouble for words others don’t like. Oh well, I count it all joy when others try to silence my words. That places me in good company.

    Justin Martyr may very well have used that phrase. But that does not mean he doubted John as the author of the Gospel that bears his name. Again, I have offered academic support for John being the author. If you can provide supporting evidence that he didn’t I will be happy to examine it.

    Since we are discussing thought crimes, I would like to delve a little deeper. Words, both spoken and written, are expressions of thoughts. Harsh words express harsh thoughts. Kind words reveal kind thoughts. If kind words expressing concern for others are spoken, are the thoughts behind the...

    Phil.2:5-11 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man...

    Your supporting evidence is a YouTuber named Paulogia. Not a recognized Bible scholar or theologian. A YouTuber. I'm sorry, I just cannot place much faith in a random YouTuber who claims to be a former Christian when such a being does not exist. Here is a site with supporting evidence for John...

    Hahaha…well you may not have a wise man to save you, but I sure do. His name is Jesus Christ. I would advise you meet Him for yourself.

    Correct. From internal evidence and early church fathers, the author is likely (probably, accepted, believed) John.

    John, the Beloved Disciple, is the author of the Gospel of John. Internal Biblical evidence as well as ancient church fathers attest to John being the author.

    Thoughts pop into our heads all the time. Many of those thoughts are just wrong. It’s hard, if not impossible, to prevent such thoughts from entering our minds. However, we can choose not to dwell on those thoughts. That’s where the sin comes into play when we fantasize and entertain wicked...

    in 1st Corinthians, Paul is all across the board on whether it’s okay for a Christian to eat food offered to Pagan god

    God’s will is for everyone to repent, be saved and live a holy life. That’s what the Bible teaches. Sometimes, people insist that their personal beliefs and convictions are God’s will. We are not required to follow man’s beliefs and interpretations.

    in 1st Corinthians, Paul is all across the board on whether it’s okay for a Christian to eat food offered to Pagan god

    Just because you were incorrectly taught doesn’t mean there is a flaw in the faith. The flaw apparently was in the instructions. If I was taught 2 + 2 = 5 the problem is not in mathematics, but in the teaching.
