I agree (as someone who has been guilty of this before too).

Trusting in God to protect myself and my family doesn't mean that I take a que sera sera attitude. Godly wisdom is neither complacent, nor sitting around fearful of what all could happen. Rather, it plans for what can happen, and takes steps to prepare for that, and it trusts God to...

Unfortunately I think many young and zealous Christians tend to overemphasize reformed theology at the expense of true conversion.

Is it moral to let your family be massacred due to the fact that the felon who broke into your home has a firearm even though the law tells him that he can't?

I was more referring to mainstream news. If they can't twist something in order to accomplish their pernicious agenda, then they don't really care about the story.

No doubt this won't get much (if any) media attention.

Pentecostal church - that kind of figures. They take their weirdness to incredible extremes.

So calling someone bald, and refusing to affirm someone's mental illness are now both sexual harassment? What a time to be alive!Confused

When you get your reformed theology from memes, t-shirts, and relevant pastors who speak like the world to win the world, rather than from scripture and grounded teachers (reformed or not), then all sorts of unscriptural things will follow.

The sad thing is that we are a town of 13,000 (approx) and have 42 churches here in town - and I can probably count on one hand how many are actually gospel-preaching churches. It's rather embarrassing to see how bold sinners are in standing up for their shameful lusts and how frequently we...

I think you should leave New York.

Tody in my town we had a parade that is tradition every year. It is a family event and local holiday going back many years, I've been in the parade a few times when I was a kid and it has been a very fun time for children. This time, however, a local group calling themselves "the Coalition for...

Absolutely correct!

PSA is found in all those verses, but nothing of Christ dying spiritually - He poured out His "soul" meaning life. He reconciled us to the Father in His flesh, He absolutely bore some very horrible/unfathomable horrors on the cross, His spirit was burdened, but He did not die spiritually.

Where does it say His soul died?

1 Peter 3:18 does not support the false teaching that Christ died a spiritual death. Did he suffer God's wrath due to those who will believe? Yes. The cross contained both spiritual and physical horrors, but at no time did Christ die spiritually.

Well ya know, occasionally God makes revisions to His word. ;)

Wrong. MacArthur is the emperor from Star Wars, he orchestrated those closures by writing a book.

So would you put yourself in the Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin, Tony Evans camp of free grace (or cheap grace as some call it)? One is saved even if there are no signs of rebirth? Jesus said go forth and make disciples, not converts. It follows that when one sees the grievousness of their sins and...

What we have here folks is another non-Calvinism thread that got turned into a Calvinism thread by a certain individual. The fact that church discipline is rare is also a major contributor. If that happened word would get out that your church is "hateful" and as a result, you'll lose out on all...
