While I have attended several churches of various denominations, Catholic, Anglican, Presbyterian, Congregational, I have been a member of only two, Calvary Baptist Church of Long Beach California (still doing well under a new name) and the First Baptist Church in my town. Both taught the lost...

Once again these posters make another false claim. How many times will they shout taint so to hide the truth before they come to their senses. Lord knows... See post #43

Nothing in scripture precludes "Eternal Torment" of humans in the Lake of Fire. However, the concept that God's punishment fits the crime, some punishment is more tolerable than other, suggests that the torment will be limited so that someone who died in unbelief at an early age will not...

The phrase,"salvation is of the Jews," John 4:22 is better translated as "salvation is brought by the Jews" by means of the blessing promised to Abraham and fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

Pure fiction, as 1 John 2:2 clearly says Christ became the means of reconciliation. And Romans 5:10 refers to those living at the time of the writing who had been reconciled, it does not support the fiction that future believers were reconciled. Rather, God's word says God is reconciling...

When we look back on our individual lives, and ponder the influences that shaped our characteristics, people, books, films and particular studies come to mind. I took Chemistry and Physics in High School, so I have a so called "BS" meter that rejects much of what modern culture considers as...

In considering this topic further, I have concluded that No, Christ did not suffer the explicit wrath stored against every sinner, but rather suffered sufficiently to justify the forgiveness of every sinner, whether few or many. Certainly Christ's mission was to become the means of...

The distinctives as stated in the above link concerning "Reformed Baptists:" 1) The Bible alone is the final authority for faith and practice. This is consistent with Traditional Baptists 2) The church exists for the glory of God, 1 Peter 2:9-10. This is consistent with Traditional...

My dilemma is that I addressed the grace of God seen by Barnabas in Antioch.

Once again a false teacher addresses me personally, offering an idiotic charge that stating in my own words what I believe God is saying is somehow wrong. Every translation existing does the same thing! Next this false teacher claims accepting as true at least some aspects of the gospel is...

John 3:36 clearly teaches that if we are saved, God's wrath is removed from us. The verse does not say it was applied to Jesus. Another aspect might need to be explored, does "wrath" mean "punishment required to restore justice" or does it also require, God's anger toward the person who...

Does scripture teach that under the New Covenant, the lost must believe at least some of the aspects of the gospel of Christ to be saved? Yes! God loved humanity in this way, He gave His uniquely divine Son so that everyone "believing into Him" would not perish but have everlasting life. Thus...

Why does Piper 2 not know? God can destroy, end the existence of, the soul in Gehenna. Did I say the bible teaches that He does? Nope. But that is the claim of the false teacher who posts falsehoods to hide truth. I said people do not receive the same punishment in the afterlife, as the...

Obviously Barnabas saw "the grace of God." But just what aspects of God's grace did he see? A quickie definition of grace is receiving what we do not deserve, whereas mercy is not receiving what we do deserve. So any "good thing" can be claimed to be God's grace. From the context, some in...

Asked now twice to provide the scripture reference where anyone, spiritual entity or human has been, past tense, thrown into the Lake of Fire. Still no answer, only one deflection after another. Brilliant! I asked the question in posts # 46 and 48. Is it true not one Calvinist knows that the...

Deflection rather than contrition, brilliant!

1) We believe, not we are enabled to believe what God has prescribed.

Colossians 1:9-12 NASB For this reason also, since the day we heard of it, we have not ceased to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all...

It does not address? Yes it does. You cannot believe in the gospel if you are unable to believe the gospel, thus not free. I do not deny your right to believe false doctrine, scripture clearly indicates many will not find the narrow door. I just want to knock down your signposts pointing...

1 John 3:23-24 NASB This is His commandment, that we]believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us. The one who keeps His commandments remains in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. 1) We...
