I cannot understand how this reasoning when carefully considered can possibly make any sense to a sane mind. Having said nothing that is true about God and claiming that God planned out beforehand every event and action meticulously, the writer then warns in his last line that we can ignore...

Hey Ben1445, I have attempted to show you how I am drawing my conclusions but admit I see through a glass darkly. I have partial knowledge but thank God for his wonderful word. I find that sometimes I must adjust my conclusions because of more light. Thank you for the discussion on this subject...

I think you are not right about this. There are not two more Jewish chapters in Romans than Romans 9 and 10. As a matter of fact if you fail to fit Rom 7:1 through Romans 11:12 into a Jewish context and accept that Paul is explaining what God is doing with the Jews since the cross and...

The epistle is to the Romans. Romans are gentiles. Rome is, at the time of writing, the seat of government over the whole world. The Date is 58 AD. It is the sixth of Paul's thirteen letters. The history that has passed from the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the beginning of his...

"Therefore" in Romans 12:1 is a logical and reasonable concluding action that he desires from the argument he had just made where he said nothing about the priesthood of the believer. What he is admonishing the Romans, and by extension, all of us to do because of being secure in Christ is a...

Do you think it is instructive that Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, did not apply this priesthood to the gentile church and did not mention the priesthood of the believer in his 13 letters to us?

There is a real chance I could be wrong, Ben1445. I am in a learning curve and I am looking for sound doctrine that is supported with scripture and will not purposely reject a sound biblical argument in favour of my opinion. The church of Jesus Christ is a unity of believers and functions as a...

I know you have probably never considered some of the things I said but suppose for the sake of argument that Peter was not addressing church doctrine except inasmuch as church doctrine coincided with kingdom or national doctrine in a post resurrection of Jesus Christ world, which would...

I find it interesting, 37818, very interesting, how Peter addresses these people that he has written his letter to as 1) a chosen generation, and 2) a royal priesthood, and 3) an holy nation, and finally 4) a peculiar people. This is worthy of much curiously and study and meditation and wonder...

I charge the Reformed religion of a 180 degree error. This religion teaches the exact opposite of the stated truths. When I say this you should understand I am not attacking the poster or any person who has been deceived by this false religion. I would like to help those I can but I an attacking...

I have a problem with your fundamental doctrine of Reformation Christianity, which is the "L," limited atonement, as it is expressed by most Reformed teachers. This doctrine removes me from the fellowship of this movement above any others they teach. Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark...

Salvation is a NT doctrine when it is defined by God instead of the Reformed. It, like all other provisions of God, has a 3 part signature. 1) Past - I have been saved from the PENALTY of sin- eternal separation from God 2) Present- I am being saved from the POWER of sin - (sanctification) 3)...

John the Baptist said when he saw Jesus; Jn 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Hebrews says this: He 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end...

I have some great news for you. You have already been prayed for more than once by possibly if not probably the greatest Christian prayer warrior who ever lived, the apostle Paul. This Paul was a man who was converted in the very presence of Jesus Christ and later personally had the great...

In the OT the atonement was "made." Once every year because the blood of bulls and goats can never take away sins. In the NT the atonement is "received." A one time atonement that has already taken away sins of the world and is available for anyone and every one who will receive it by their own...
