    In What Sense Does The Spirit Enlighten All Mankind

    On and on, addressing my comprehension, and running from scripture. Address the carnally acting believer, and not the men of flesh. Obfuscation on display. Everyone should comprehend Paul spoke as to "men of flesh" using spiritual milk. To deny this is an agenda driven effort to nullify...

    Spirituality and the Three Little Pigs

    Ever hear someone say "God helps those who help themselves?" Some may think this is a quote or paraphrase of some particular verse. But is it a biblical principle. If we help ourselves by humbling ourselves before our Lord, does our Lord promise to help us? I think yes. God opposes the...

    Decoding "No Kings, No Crowns"

    Recall our founding, and Sam Adam's refrain, I have no king but Christ. Now those overturning our Judaeo Christian values shout, No king but Marx, No Crown but Tyranny What the Brown Shirt actions confess all...

    Calvinists Do Not Hold To Open Theism

    Anyone who believes God is not the author of sin, believes at least some of our choices were not predestined, which defines Open Theism or Partially Open Theism.

    In What Sense Does The Spirit Enlighten All Mankind

    On and on, change of subject question after change of subject question, smokescreed bellowing smokescreed. Men of flesh are natural people, unregenerate, not indwelt, nonspiritual. Did anyone see where the fact Paul spoke to men of flesh using spiritual milk was explained. No? Gee Whizz...

    Did Jesus cease being God's Son on the Cross?

    First, the main point is Jesus was not sin nor in a sinful state. I do not want to gloss over the key to reconciliation, the just for the unjust. Second, I believe God's characteristic of being just, requires reconciliation, something received for something given (or not given in this case)...

    Did Jesus cease being God's Son on the Cross?

    Did Jesus cease being God's Son on the Cross? In my opinion, the answer is no. In order to be the just for the unjust, Jesus had to be perfect, without blemish. Yes, God treated Jesus as sin on the cross, but hat was necessary for Jesus to become the means of reconciliation for unjust humanity.

    In What Sense Does The Spirit Enlighten All Mankind

    Romans 2:15 NASB in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, If we consider the Greek verbs in this verse, are they passive or are they either middle or...

    In What Sense Does The Spirit Enlighten All Mankind

    Once again these posters address me, and run from the fact Paul spoke to men of flesh, the unregenerate lost, using spiritual milk. Can they answer the question, why did Paul use spiritual milk when talking to the lost? Nope. So they change the subject, thinking the "folks" are too dull...

    Decoding "No Kings, No Crowns"

    The godless left has taken over the Democrat Party, and is attacking Judaeo-Christian values at every turn. But what does this new talking point actually mean? Well like all vague phrases, it means what the hearer thinks it means. For me it means No King of Kings, No Crown of Thorns.

    What God did on Earth's first fourth day.

    Light overrides darkness, darkness is the absence of light. Thus when God created light, He separated it from the darkness. As far as we know, both actions had occurred when mentioned, so the claim they did not occur simultaneously is once again, adding to scripture. Lets see, scripture does...

    In What Sense Does The Spirit Enlighten All Mankind

    Once again, this poster addresses my supposed disability, and does not address why Paul spoke to men of flesh using spiritual milk. Folks, this is all they have, they read into verses what they do not say, and nullify verses that preclude their additions to scripture. Commentary J-F-B Paul...

    Book of Life

    The Lamb's book of life is where the names of those born anew are written. Some people try to conflate the OT Book of the Living, with the Lamb's book of life, but that only leads to endless confusion.

    What God did on Earth's first fourth day.

    Some have a problem with God providing sunlight on day four, with the vegetation thriving on day 3. But the "shop light" God created on day one could provide the needed illumination for the vegetation, so a non-problem to my way of thinking.

    What God did on Earth's first fourth day.

    In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. And this describes His actions: Nothing existed except God. What was outside of God is unknown, occluded by darkness. God spoke light into existence, so light and darkness were separated, thus day and night of day one. God spoke the...

    OSAS - The Baptist Advantage

    Just a quick comment on the concept of "Backsliding." Let's consider two cases, someone walks forward, and joins your church with a profession of faith, but like the folks of Matthew 7, is not actually born anew. This person can continue to believe they are saved, yet disavow their effort to...

    In What Sense Does The Spirit Enlighten All Mankind

    Pointless to continue. Note the agenda driven response, avoiding the reason Paul spoke to "men of flesh" using spiritual milk. Folks, this is all they have, read into verses what they do not say, and nullify verses that preclude their additions to scripture. Disheartening...

    What God did on Earth's first fourth day.

    If this represents your inductive conclusion, have at it. :) I see no reason why they might not have been created in the prior part of the creation week.

    Mega-Church Vs Small-Church

    When I first moved to the town I live in, more than 50 years ago, I joined the "First Baptist Church" which had about 100 regular attenders. With the Lord's blessing, we called our associate Pastor to be our Senior Pastor, and over the next year or two, we grew to close to 200 regular attenders...

    Greetings

    Greetings! I am a Baptist, but as an independent student of the Bible, some of my views do not mesh with Reformed Baptists, nor with General Baptists. 1) I believe the Bible (I use the NASB) is God's word, and for me, is the final authority for faith and practice. 2) I believe in the...
