    “The prodigal son and the unjust Steward”

    You flimflam around without any scriptural support for calling the Holy Spirit “the younger brother of Jesus.” This is heresy, a mockery of the Trinity. Understand? Holy Ghost is good King James English, for ghostly meant spiritual. It did not mean a spooky entity as we now consider ghost to...

    Calvinism needs to add words to scripture

    The Marprelate Controversy was a war of inflammatory pamphlets waged in England and Wales in 1588 and 1589, between a puritanwriter who employed the pseudonym Martin Marprelate, and defenders of the Church of England which remained an established church. Martin's tracts are characterised by...

    If space aliens prove to be real, will that impact your Christian faith?

    If space aliens were never seduced by Satan, they might be neutral or good. We earth-bound humans cannot understand how ET aliens could build a spacecraft that could travel light years to arrive at Earth. But if the space aliens are 80 trillion times as intelligent as humans, they could figure...

    Theology vs. the Bible

    Round and round we go, where it stops, nobody knows. Theology can freeze the mind into a rigid pattern that seduces and imprisons thought, so that any different viewpoint is not prayerfully pondered, but is instantly rejected and renounced. We are safer by studying the Bible, with occasional...

    If space aliens prove to be real, will that impact your Christian faith?

    Since space aliens are not descended from Adam, and if Satan did not deceive them, they would have no sin, and maybe do not die. Space aliens probably not made in the image of God like humans. Maybe the stars are living beings in some manner. The universe is so vast, and God is so creative and...

    Calvinism needs to add words to scripture

    We did not wish to destroy Calvinism. We wanted to challenge some Calvinist doctrines and watch Calvinists scramble to try to justify them. The truth may reside in the middle zone between Calvinism and Anti Calvinism.

    If space aliens prove to be real, will that impact your Christian faith?

    And people thought it was a “silly idea” that there existed super tiny living creatures unseeable by human eyes…until the microscope was invented. The Bible does not say life exists only on Earth. Science has verified many bizarre and seemingly silly ideas, including that rats laugh when...

    Calvinism needs to add words to scripture

    I just described how I have seen Calvinists on this board add words to scripture verses routinely. All of us born again believers are far above theology, for we are seated in the heavenlies with Christ. Ephesians 2:6 He also raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly...

    If space aliens prove to be real, will that impact your Christian faith?

    Earth scientists define life only in terms of life as they know it on Earth. There could be other, unimaginable forms of life that accommodate very different physics. Habitable planets, or "Goldilocks" worlds, are rocky exoplanets orbiting within their star's habitable zone, where temperatures...

    Calvinism needs to add words to scripture

    Your problem is you exalt theology above the Bible. You think Christians should argue about the different theological systems and identify the one and only true theology, which to your mind is Calvinism. Your claim that “we tend to not want to repent and believe or we think we don't need to”...

    If space aliens prove to be real, will that impact your Christian faith?

    The Bible does not say there is intelligent life only on Earth. It is silent about extraterrestrials. When I consider all the many lifeforms on Earth, it makes me wonder why such a vast universe would have intelligent life on only one planet. What could all the galaxies exist for, including...

    Calvinism needs to add words to scripture

    There is no personal merit accrued in a person for coming to Christ when they hear the gospel explained. But there is an exercise of human will involved, an obedience which God respects and rewards. If we are commanded by Jesus to repent and believe, we must, even in an unsaved state, be able to...

    If space aliens prove to be real, will that impact your Christian faith?

    UFOs, the strong delusion? It would be easy, with current technology, to fake ETs and a flying saucer attack. Some government military fights and defeats the space aliens. Then the whole world worships and obeys that government that saved the planet from alien invaders. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12...
