I just wanted to throw this into the mix for clarity. I don't know if it changes anything. Can somebody put the point of contention into Laymen's terms for me? I'm getting that it's just about if Jesus needed to satisfy God's justice on our behalf? Don't we need to be in Him to receive that...

I just wanted to note, that when I say ignorance, I'm not speaking of willful ignorance, or suppressing the truth.

I was thinking of this passage when I read those. Romans 3:25-26 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His...

Hey Ken I remember MacArthur's observation in this matter in his two part series, "The Salvation of Infants Who Die". He mentioned how people condemned babies to hell because babies couldn't come to faith, and acted as if they were doing God a service by defending these 'tough doctrines'...

To what extent does ignorance equate to innocence? With children, they are called innocent by God until they reaches a condition (often called age) of accountability. Jewish tradition calls this "Bar mitzvah", or "son of the Law". They believe that at age thirteen a person becomes...

Objections To The Supralapsarian. But we object more particularly to the Supralapsarian scheme. (a) That it is erroneous in representing God as having before His mind, as the objects of predestination, men conceived in posse only; and in making creation a means of their salvation or damnation...

I used to consider myself to be a Calvinist/reformed. I preferer the term reformed, not Calvinist, for obvious reasons. I do still kind of consider myself reformed, though not by todays stringent standards. I was never 100% on board with everything in the reformed view, mostly because of the...

No "The Magnificent Seven" fans?

I never watched 3:10 to Yuma. Isn't there a new version of that with Russel Crowe? Are you talking about the one from 1957, or 2007?

Does Quigley down under qualify? That was good. Tom Selleck was in a lot of westerns. The Shadow riders.... Man I just remembered that Sam Elliot was in a lot of spaghetti westerns. I never watched them, but seen him on the cover of quite a few.

"In this epic spaghetti western, a flinty gunslinger is hired by a railroad tycoon to kill anyone standing in the way of his trans-American iron horse." That sounds an awful lot like the series called "Hell on Wheels". It's the same story line. Anyways, I reserved that movie at the library...

1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs 1 suggests to move it to the Calvinism and...

Nothing? Charismatic: Only 1 – Hands are already in the air. Pentecostal: 10 – One to change the bulb, and nine to pray against the spirit of darkness. Presbyterians: None – Lights will go on and off at predestined times. Baptists: At least 15 – One to change the light bulb, and three...

I'll check that one out. Thanks.

I agree, and rest my case. ...who are also not infallible. Do it first, then we'll talk. The fact that it isn't happening is my proof. The Bible is the standard. The gift of healing heals everyone all the time. 'Great things are happening over there' are old claims made by Pentecostals and...
