I recently had a thought. If, for some reason, we had to rely just on Scripture that we had memorized. I, personally, could rely on PS 1, PS 23, John 1-3 (maybe through 5) 1 Jn 4:7-8, Jn 3: 16-17. I could give good renditions of a number of stories. Such as the nativity, the Passion, the Resurrection, just to name a few. They wouldn't be direct quotes of any specific version, but a blending of all of them. So how would we do?to

If it came down to an elimination of physical Bibles and all we had was memory, I honestly believe Christians would experience a promise from Jesus:

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

I second that

Sometimes when I read a post online a verse to reply with will come to mind from no where it seems . Yes, The Holy Spirit .

Thought for the day:

Prayer must never be the last resort in any given situation. Prayer should be the first effort, before entering into any given situation.

Once I prayed for a situation I was not involved in and after I prayed did not think about it again . Then one day I heard the situation had resolved in a good way . As I thought about it I thought "well that tuned out good! " and Just as I thought that the Holy Spirit said to me " You did pray for the situation didn't you ?" Yes I had prayed and forgot until the Holy Spirit reminded me

Do you need a biblical quote to prove we can't breath in space?
Heaven is in outer space?

I disagree. I believe
Yes. You believe. But you don't know.

Quote
No, God decides who are godly, and we should agree with Him.
According to God, Jews who uphold the law are Godly, and holy, and will be considered wise in the eyes of the nations. And I certainly agree with Him.

Well to some extent not to me either, since the "way is narrow."
So it's odd to you, but also not. Great debate.

Dark side of the moon maybe ? Good to see ya Fenris !

In other words, the prophecy was not about reincarnation or ghosts coming back from the dead.
Elijah isn't dead. He ascended to heaven in a fiery chariot. 2 Kings 2:11

No, Fenris, Elijah is dead. He died on his way past where his lungs had access to oxygen. He died, at any rate, when he no longer drank water, or outlived the capacity of his body to live in heaven. All men die. That's the curse. The fact he was taken up to heaven alive didn't mean he didn't die.

To say Elijah is coming back is necromancy, or reincarnation, or resurrection. In fact, Elijah came back in a vision on the Mt. of Transfiguration. But he isn't coming back before the Day of the Lord.

According to Christians, this role was fulfilled by John the Baptist. The name "Elijah" was used because John hadn't been born yet. The office of a great prophet was used to depict the power of Jesus' forerunner.

My thinking is Elijah is yet to die . The two witnesses spoke of in chapter 11 of Revelation I think will be Elijah and Enoch , remember we have no record of Enoch dying either . Hey Randy !
