God could speak the universe into existence, why do you think He didn't speak the sin of man away in the same fashion? Did His Laws before the foundation of the world allow for sin to be spoken away?

God said in the Law "it is the blood that atones for the soul." It was the blood of an innocent animal but represented the Blood of Christ. That tells me God demands the blood of man for his sin, in other words death. Man had no way out with God but death for his sin. To keep from destroying...

We agree on what it takes to enter His Kingdom. I can afford to be wrong on the details of the atonement. But I don't think I am, lol.

"We were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world" sounds exactly like the plan I was chosen for to be conformed in the image of Christ. God made a decision before He created man, it was His plan of redemption all men would follow to be born-again. It was specifically designed for...

If God chose us in Christ as the means of salvation, Eph. 1:4 is not referring to who will be saved, but the manner in which we will be saved.

Did He choose us in Him (Christ) before the creation for salvation or did He choose us in Christ as the means for salvation to be blameless in His sight, in love?

LOL, ok, I was thinking of a different kind of explosion. Yes, I read that and it's loaded with knowledge. More than I can muster up in one post. I still see the wrath of a Holy God placed on the Sin Sacrifice that was made sin to take my place. I'm pretty sure we will never agree on this...

God knows who will believe and who will not, He has this thing in knowing the exact timing to send a Peter, or a Paul, or maybe Tea. He doesn't predetermine that they will believe, He knows they will believe and somehow can look into the future and know the exact timing for it to happen. He...

I'm fine as we speak, can do anything I've always done. Time will tell. I've decided to let it take its course rather than taking up an early wheelchair with various complications as those others have done with treatments. We are truly in the hands of the Lord! I'm not asking for prayer...

They're making some progress though. "No salvation outside the Church" has been changed to one can be saved outside the Church. They recently cut Mary out as a co-Redeemer. In another couple of centuries they will be considered Baptists.

No, it was Walter that said that, not me. Paul never described the Church you teach. That Church you have so much faith in is a work of the traditions of men. The Church you claim is nowhere in Scripture to be found.

Not working out very well for me. My PSA, (not penal substitution, lol, prostate specific antigen) count has risen sharply and holding in the last 2 tests. Doctors are saying I'm in need of treatments, but I keep putting it off. Did quite a bit of checking around of folks in my situation who...

This post from you is the clearest point I can find as to why you're a Catholic and I'm a Baptist.

I didn't notice the explosion, but I haven't read all the posts either. Obviously the matter is heart-felt or you wouldn't stand by it. I admire the standing by the stuff whether right or wrong! Jon, the Scripture is not clear on all matters, in fact it's just the opposite. What we desperately...

I won't argue, just something that keeps coming to mind over and over.

I may become the laughing stock of BB after this, but I've often wondered something. The KJV has been translated in several hundreds of languages and distributed around the world. Christ said, the Gospel will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will...

Acts 16:14 may ;not be fully understood, Tea. The Scripture plainly says she worshipped God. But she did not know Christ until Paul came by and began talking to her. She hungered for the things of God, and when Paul revealed the Christ to her she believed and was saved. It's the same...

I've had both. Never felt a thing with the colon, was totally out. The prostate thing I will never forget or have again, I was more/less abused and felt every zap of it.

I think you're confused, Cathode, we condemned the prostate biopsy as Sodomoscopy.

It all serves a good purpose from the Lord, it's when we abuse it that it becomes fuss and feathers.
