[Rom 3:21-26 KJV] 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and...

That is one of the most disturbing thoughts that I have ever read. Your answer to the philosophical question “Can God create a rock that God cannot lift?” is “Yes, not only can He, but God has!” “God created a Law that is more powerful than even himself … a Law that even God CANNOT violate.”...

Compare that to the current 2022 Russo-Ukraine War: 350,000 killed

… and it changed the world.

As an irony, God accomplished with the defeat of Germany in WW2 what Napoleon and Hitler failed to accomplish with two attempts using force … a third European Empire (for better or worse or prophetic reasons or not). It also resulted in a Jewish state and ended a cycle of European wars going...

It is according to the Athanasian Creed. ;) Personally, I think the issue is more one of … “If God is not triune, then who do you say that Jesus is?” If you accept the Trinity, then you have answered that question. Romans 10:8-13 [ESV] 8 But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your...

I use the ones included on Blue Letter Bible. I like seeing the original words in the original order with the option to click a link on a specific word to get more information about THAT EXACT WORD … its root or range of meanings or advice on “it means this when it is in this form like these...

Interestingly, I heard just this past Sunday that God never actually commanded the building of an earthly temple. King David wanted to and King Solomon was permitted to, but God never commanded a temple be built. I have not had time to fact check that yet, but I found it an interesting statement.

Explain the drawing of Itzcoatl to Jesus (All means all). (a man) (b.1380 - d. 1440)

No, I think you are sloppy handling scripture when you throw up "literal proofs" to refute my scripture quotes and don't even bother to mention the obvious "non-literal" nature of the quote you chose to refute me. The fact that I never said ANYTHING about my neighbor or who I should witness to...

You should reread that passage in Aacts 16 and tell me if I have the order of events backwards. It appears to me that God opened Lydia's heart first, and THEN Lydia believed what she heard Paul speak. Than makes the action of God (open the heart) the CAUSE and the response of Lydia (believe...

Originally, God ordered Joshua to cross a river. In the late 19th and early 20th Century ... European antisemitism. [Most European nations wanted Jews out of their countries for political reasons. Following a series of Russian Pogoms around WW1, the Balfour Declaration of 1917 established the...

Often like this: Acts 16:14 [KJV] And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard [us]: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. Sometimes like this: Act 22:6-10 [NIV] "About noon as...

1 Peter 3:15 [NKJV] But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always [be] ready to [give] a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; Sola Scriptura ("Scripture alone"): The Bible is the ultimate authority for Christian faith and...

How many Squirrels have you led to Christ? "Every creature" means "every creature", right. ;)

Everyone rejects belief ... otherwise God would not need to DRAW. An "invite" would have been enough. Luke 14:16-24 [NKJV] 16 Then He said to him, "A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, 17 "and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, 'Come, for all...

Unconditional Election: [Romans 9:10-18 NKJV] 10 And not only [this], but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, [even] by our father Isaac 11 (for [the children] not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works...

Matthew 24:36-44 [ESV] 36 "But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only. 37 For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying...

You are correct about ‘prevenient grace’. Mr Wesley, whose work I admire, believed that God’s the solution to the problem of a world in which everyone is born in trouble is a blanket of ‘pre-salvation’ grace to level the playing field for all humanity and restore people to a neutral “free will”...

Not “cannot” but “will not”. A Lion is physically capable of eating leaves and berries, but it is not in the nature of a Lion to desire to be a herbivore. Therefore a lion freely chooses to kill and eat meat. God asks nothing of man that is beyond our physical abilities. However, it is not...
