I am wondering why we need all the new prophets and apostles when we have Isaiah and Daniel and Peter and Paul. I am guessing Christianity would have no appeal to the Reformed without these guys. There is no biblical warrant for national or world pastors. Christians have local pastors and a big...

Well, Dave, you know what I believe as an Independent Fundamental Baptist and you know the T.U.L.I.P I read the scriptures as God himself making an everlasting, once for all time, never to be repeated, atonement by the sacrifice of his own son that takes away sin, removing that which makes God...

LOL Dave. How quick you are to prove my point. You read that in one of those Reformed tomes, didn't you? That is not original with you.

Me thinks you missed my point. I did not say it is inappropriate to discuss non fundamentals here, I just opined that we do. We can disagree on those things. However, the gospel and how we get saved and the work and person of Christ is a narrow fundamental of the faith and there is a wide gulf...

Dave, you would have been far better off if you had never heard of Owen, Edwards, Spurgeon and others like them. All your theology is filtered through these men and without them you would not even be able to formulate an opinion on God. The scriptures do not have sway over your thinking without...

No man is left alone by God and though all men who are justified by God are justified on the basis of Christ's merits and his redemptive work, it is not by believing in his name and work that justification always takes place. How do I know this? It is because of the 4 thousand years of human...

Martin, I so appreciate you calling attention to God's penchant for typifying his prophetic and future truths in historical people and events and places and things. If we understand that God does this in everything then we could be looking in the OT for a confirmation of our NT doctrines. We...

Explain that please. I will bet your education is better than you are demonstrating, Martin. These metaphors of chapter 4 would make no sense without the history of Israel under the law of Moses which was a form of bondage and servanthood that was ended after faith came in the fullness of the...

So, what happened in Acts 2 on the fiftieth day after the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ? It was the feast of Weeks, Pentecost, the fourth of seven feasts and the second of three festivals. And like all the feast and festivals of Israel, prophetic of the out working of God's purpose on...

So, tell us what is your definition of salvation and how do you get it and can you keep it once you get it? Is it to be baptized by the Holy Ghost? Define your Christianity and tell us why we should be like you.

You know fellow, I am already thinking of you as a know nothing jerk, if you do not mind me being so bold. You have falsely accused a man who is probably your senior and one who has engaged his life in the preaching of the gospel of Christ and getting the gospel and the word to the Asians. You...

Continued Now consider what Peter said to this nation; I hope you will read the first 12 verses in this chapter that I am not quoting here. 12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own...

The Baptism of the Holy Ghost was historically in two phases separated by 10 years and 9 chapters in the book of Acts. The first phase is the baptism of Israel, the people of God, This baptism would include Samaria which represented the northern kingdom of Israel that had been dispersed from her...

The KJV leads us right on the doctrine of baptism. Many teach that baptism is inside a person and therefore being filled with the Holy Spirit is to be baptized with the Holy Spirit. The words of scriptures do not support that interpretation. If someone is baptized into somthing, he is immersed...

David, the op is asking if Jesus Christ will actually sit on the throne of David as per Ps 132:11-18. This passage of scripture is dealing with TIME. You have moved the goal posts and have provided an answer that is dealing with ETERNITY. Between time and eternity there is a great event. After...

BINGO! We sure have something that we can agree upon, kyredneck. We agree on what I have underlined above. Jesus Christ is the one God in three persons. He has the ability to function in three district and separate capacities yet still be one person. If he limits himself in one of those persons...

I have no way of knowing what you think of Jesus Christ and the revelations of God in his words concerning his person and his offices except by your words you write but I think he is indeed sensational and I wish I had a word that transcends this word "sensational" for him but I have a limited...

Here is a little logic. It is a story about a near kins person sitting on David's throne without it ceasing to be David's throne or this person sitting at the king's right hand not sharing in the rule of the kingdom. 18 And Bathsheba said, Well; I will speak for thee unto the king. 19...

I wonder, David, about the reasoning and how a statement without context by Jesus Christ to a woman in Samaria would negate and make void the testimony and prophesies of God and man in all the prophets in the old and new testaments that says Jesus Christ will sit on the throne of David in...

thanks Charlie24, that is some sound reasoning.
