If you consider that Christ was virgin born conceived of the Spirit, He had no sin nature. The Law of God, "sin brings forth death" did not apply to Him. Christ could not die unless He willed His death, and that's what He did. God created man to live forever in the flesh, death came into...

You're not the only one that feels that way, Brother!

The Calvinists have been blinded through indoctrination. They have their own private definitions for words such as, all, world, whosoever. Only the Calvinists see these words to mean what they claim. They have no choice but to change the definitions of these words, their doctrine will not...

If it was it would read as the rewording I presented. But it doesn't say what you claim. Everyone can see that but the Calvinist.

If your interpretation of that is correct, then 2 Peter 3:9 has to be reworded to say this. "God wills that many should perish, and that only a few pre-selected ones will come to repentance."

I'm always ready, I just need to understand what I'm ready for. 1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:"

Don't blow a gasket, Cathode! This video explains it better than I can, although I can add to it. It's only 1:53...

Have you ever met another believer while out and about, and they ask what denomination you claim? It's tough being a IFB believer. I tell them I'm a Baptist. They ask, what type of Baptist? I say, I'm a independent fundamental Baptist. They ask, are you a Calvinist? By the time I explain why...

I certainly can't fault you there! A denomination in the way I see it, just represents what you believe. We are all, or should be followers of Christ. But I can understand your separation from this maze.

We agree, and most here have no problem understanding this. These things that concern our salvation should be the topics of our discussion. That is the #1 thing I'm interested in, but we all get carried away with the things that don't even concern our salvation, while some are not leaving this...

Yes, I believe many Catholics are saved, but they are the ones who recognize that faith alone in the finished work of Christ is the only means of salvation. Even the commandment of water baptism, when made a requirement for salvation can be turned into a work and cancel out the Grace that...

No, it's basically a correction of Covenant Theology, and it didn't begin with Darby as many suppose. It was evident in the Church fathers from as far back as the 2nd century.

Thank God for Martin Luther, John Calvin, Huldrych Zwingli, and several others. No, they were not right about everything as we are not, they even disliked one another in some cases, but they did what God gave them to do, they pointed us back to Christ by seeing the many faults in the Church...

Furthermore, this is how the Word of God was kept from the people as the RCC gained it's foundation and the RCC continued to keep the Word of God from the people until the Reformers came along. This is why the Catholic people are so brain-washed and don't understand when we explain what they...

Yes, I do tell. The Church apostatized and God's Word was withdrawn from the people. The reason the Dark Age came about.

Happy to see you recognize the martyrdom in the letter to Smyrna. The 10 days of persecution is believed to be the 10 waves of persecution the Smyrna Church suffered from 100 ad - 300 ad. Christ said He knew their poverty but they were yet rich, they were spiritually rich. The Church at...

Just to throw in my 2 cents worth, I believe that from the 6th hour (12 noon) to the 9th hour there was darkness over all the land. During these 3 hours our Lord was imputed the sin of the world, past, present, and future, bearing the sin penalty for mankind. I believe the Father hid His face...

@Cathode Have you ever viewed the 7 letters to the Churches in Revelation through Dispensationalism? Each Church represents a specific time in history with the first letter to the Church at Ephesus being the 1st century Church (closing around 100 ad) the Apostolic Church. The second letter...

And the other side of the coin? We believe the Scripture proves the heresies were committed by the Church evolving into apostasy.

You're a nice guy, Cathode, and I like you and agree with some of the things you believe. But I don't agree with the general theology of the RCC. We try to show you why, it's not like we don't have a reason.
