Confirmation bias ignores the contextual meaning to prove or support some previously held viewpoint. Let us consider your post. To what does "the world" refer? Every individual? Nope. To humanity, or to fallen humanity because of the need of a Savior. Next let us consider how this "love"...

2 Corinthians1:20 NASB For as many as the promises of God are, in Him they are yes; therefore through Him also is our Amen to the glory of God through us. For as many as the promises of God are - this refers to every promise fulfilled when an individual is spiritually...

Interesting opening post. Setting aside whether some edition of the KJV perfectly presents the actual gospel, let's consider whether we must believe all the right things and none of the wrong things for God to credit our faith as righteousness. I do not know about others, but I do not hold...

This thread was supposed to discuss the concept of being spiritually born anew. When does this occur? (When God transfers us spiritually into Christ.) When are we made alive, regenerated? (When God transfers us spiritually into Christ.) When are we made righteous? (When God transfers us...

I am sorry but I could not follow your reasoning. If the child is viable, then the baby can be delivered surgically.. If the baby is not viable, and the mother will die before viability, thus losing both mother and child, an abortion of save the life of the mother would be justified, in my...

Sorry Sir, but I have no idea what your point of discussion might be. Did you address the question of who (only apostles or all those born anew) does this statement apply? Were you saying this statement does not apply to everyone who follows Christ in the regeneration? Does the statement...

Puzzling post? The differences between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant seem non-germane. We are operating in the world, but not according to the world, thus not "of the world. We are operating under the New covenant in the fallen world of humanity. In this world, Romans 13:1-4 has...

Once again a discussion of translation where word for word is considered a something other than word or phrase meaning for word or phrase meaning. If a Hebrew idiom uses "on his hand" to mean "next to him" either translation choice would be a word or phrase meaning for word or phrase meaning...

Hi Bradford, Some posters post long and repetitive posts to bury the topic in an avalanche of verbiage. But another systemic problem is that some posters do not start their posts with a short statement of their position. They post scripture but never say why their interpretation supports...

Sounds like I hit a nerve. Two defensive posts, but nary a word concerning interpretations that nullify the plain meaning of verses. The things is interpreted to mean "all the things" rather than the things contextually in view. All knowing is interpreted to mean "all knowing of everything"...

Wait.... You used the term "we" but did not indicate if the "we" was acting as an individual, or under the color of government authority? Does the Bible indicate whether the life of the mother is to be saved, or to do nothing and lose both the mother and child? Give me the verse. I do not...

Let us consider this question. Is Christ sitting on a throne in Heaven right now? Yes, of course. Has every born anew believer been transferred spiritually "into Christ?" Yes of course Thus is every born anew believer "sitting" on a throne in Heaven? I know this is really deep and hard to...

1) Did I say Jesus will give everyone an opportunity to be saved? Nope, so the pattern of disinformation continues unabated. 2) Do those who never heard the gospel have an opportunity to be saved? Nope 3) Do those whose heart has been hardened have the opportunity to be saved? Nope 4) Did...

When is shedding the blood of another not murder? The concept that seems to have eluded the discussion thus far is justifiable homicide. Thus using lethal force to protect others is not murder. An example would be an abortion to save the life of the mother. And of course those operating under...

LOL, talk about posting disinformation!! For Jesus will provide the means of salvation for humanity, and will save those chosen as His people from their sins. The opportunity for salvation is at hand, do not let anyone prevent you from entering the Kingdom of God. God is reconciling humanity...

Confirmation bias (also confirmatory bias, SNIP) is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values. People display this bias when they select information that supports their views, ignoring contrary...

Once again a discussion where the actual positions must be inferred. One side suggests that those chosen individually during their lifetime must fit the proscribed conditions established to be chosen. However, the verse says those who had been chosen, were chosen before the foundation of the...

LOL, talk about posting disinformation!! For Jesus will provide the means of salvation for humanity, and will save those chosen as His people from their sins. The opportunity for salvation is at hand, do not let anyone prevent you from entering the Kingdom of God. God is reconciling humanity...

Those that hold the false doctrine of pacifism deny that government, thus those acting under the color of government authority, can engage in war. I have mentioned the last six names found in Hebrews 11 several times. These are all referred to as "saints" thus those set apart for God's own...

Yet another "taint so" post devoid of content. Today you will be with Me in paradise.
