Picture this, a person is in a locked jail cell, and the jailer calls to him and says, "you are at liberty to walk along the Atlantic City boardwalk. An hour later, the jailer says he has added time to the sentence because the person did not avail himself to the "opportunity." Yes, that...

To break it down logically, Soul Liberty must contain Soul Competency, and Soul Competency results in Soul Responsibility, as taught in scripture. Thus, traditional Baptist beliefs are radically different from Particular Baptist beliefs. Responsible - Everyone (including the lost) is able to...

I do not know the order of the names listed in the Book of Martyrs but I expect Jesus might be first or foremost, and others might be found such as Peter, Paul, Steven, and on down through time. I expect Charlie Kirk could be included. The question we must ask is do we really think any of them...

Both those verses are non-germane to the actual issue. Instead, discuss Matthew 7, and those who professed belief, and Matthew 13 and those who professed belief, such as soils, #2 and 3. But, because I am "apt to teach" and you have posted the "My yoke is easy" translation at least twice, let...

Well we can agree, "to conquer the people" is the suggested meaning based on root word meanings. However, to conquer the people through subversion, after the likeness of Balaam's behavior, is the meaning the OP addresses. The subversion was aimed at causing the people to behave less...

1. What does it mean to pay the ransom? It means Jesus paid the price for redeeming. So everyone can be ransomed, yet not all the ransomed are redeemed. 2. Jesus finished His mission of providing the means of reconciliation for the whole of humanity. But the Divine action to redeem those...

Thanks for the "on topic" post. And I agree, I attend a church that belongs to Jesus, and is not our beloved Pastor's church. But we are to form assemblies with elected by the members "leaders." such as Pastors, Teachers, counselors and administrators. One test that I used was apparent...

Good grief, why did not post you were an Easy Believism advocate. Apparently you are one of those who "secretly introduce" destructive heresies. Yes, I believe those that advocate Easy Believism are modern day Nicolaitians. You posted about 12 disruptive and diversionary posts, that did not...

There are no Jewish Christian Epistles. All Israel is defined and described in Romans 9:6 and 11:26. Galatians 3:8, 2 Timothy 3:16 teach all of scripture is for every believing Jew or Gentile.

Christ's sacrifice provided the means of reconciliation for the whole of humanity, those to be saved and those never to be saved, 1 John 2:2 and 2 Peter 2:1. Access to God's provision of the means of reconciliation is by way of us both believing in Christ's name, AND placing our full devotion...

Folks, this poster simply continues to ask endless questions, but never acknowledges that the answers have been previously given. No recall of post #1 and Easy Believism!

Extracted and enlarged from Post 30: "Responsible - Everyone (including the lost) is able to to God's appeals for reconciliation, because a Divine Provision will be heard and understood. Deuteronomy 30:11-19 Matthew 23:37 Luke 8:12 Romans 2:4 Hebrews 3:7-8" Here a case is made...

You addressed many topics, let me try to address just one. The "elect nation, Israel" were not just blood line Jews, but refers to "all Israel" (Romans 9:6 and 11:26) which includes New Covenant Gentiles., as you indicated. But we are a holy priesthood now, are sacrifices in the service of...

Why are you asking endless questions to no discernible purpose? The topic addresses those in modern day Christianity who engage in practices similar in affect to those of the Nicolaitians. I think those who hinder bible study fall into that group.
