<><...Sorry Kent,
I have no more pearls for you but this last one. The word hate as it is used in Luke 14:26 is # 3404 Strongs, and it is translated "miseo".... "TO LOVE LESS"... not to hate.
We are not trying to impress you or anyone else with "scholarly degrees", although I'm sure we could. I already told you Kent, NO "degrees" are necessary to understand my Saviour Jesus Christ, Period.
Kent both of the scriptures which you quote are wrong, it is Luke 14:26,not 25, and there is no Th.16 Period.... My brother John is exactly right. You are reading the words of satan. You come to us with "another" gospel.
Galatians 1:8.... (in the word of God, not satan)Let me give it all to you....Remember this scripture is in the Holy Bible....
"But though we or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ." Gal.1:8-10
It appears that you are not comfortable here, so why torture yourself? Kent maybe "your" gospel would please others on other threads, we here know it for what it is.
But if you ever really want to give God a chance, then buy a "real Bible", the Holy Bible.
"And saying, the time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel." Mark 1:15
