    Quibbling or Learning from the Creation narrative?

    A few million years of darkness wouldn't have sat well with any life on the planet.

    I can't follow the writing process.

    Knowing you and your intelligence and heart for the Lord and other people, I take those as some of the best compliments I have ever received. ("I'll take a compliment with the best of them", as a joke; the truth is, if God has worked in me, He gets all the Praise. That's what I mean by being...

    One baptism?

    ? Looks like two baptisms you have there, plain as day. That is against direct Bible scripture stating that there is "one baptism" (that the Jews and Gentiles had both received and Paul is calling them to unity, since they both have one baptism, as to kind, i.e., water baptism). There is...

    I can't follow the writing process.

    The edited and re-edited, as they PRAYFULLY considered their first efforts in drafts. To conquer procrastination, tell yourself that the last thing you're going to try to do is get it right the first time. When has that ever happened? "I AM NOT GOING TO WRITE ANYTHING IMPORTANT OR SERIOUS, BUT...

    One baptism?

    I think you cut off the salient portion of my quote, for some reason. In other words, "if the plain sense of a word makes sense, then we accept it as expressing that initial plain common sense every time", AND DON'T SEEK ANY OTHER 'SENSE' (out of the clear blue sky).

    One baptism?

    Yes, water baptism is literally a hands-on portion of God's Plan of having His churches self-replicating, where disciples are saved by the preaching of the Gospel, that newly saved person submits to the Unction of the Holy Spirit ("by One Spirit") to join in membership of one of His churches...

    Questions

    The Son of God was already "as a Lamb slain before the foundation of the world", and was God's Offering to Satisfy the debt of sin for His Chosen ones, having been Predestined to be the Savior God Provided (a Lamb) before Adam was Predestined, and then created and had his subsequent Fall. One...

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then?

    Should Christians Hold to any form of Theistic Evolution then? No. True science of The Omnisceint = All Knowing = All Science Knowing God, having Infinite Awareness, Understanding, and Insight, Who Possesses Universal and Complete Knowledge directly conflicts with the unproven quackery of...

    The modern view of Fulfilling the Great Commission (Satire?, for anyone not familiar with Babylon Bee)

    "he had never actually explained the Gospel to anyone in his life..." He could do better.

    Questions

    Of course, who do you think deceived Eve? Genesis 3:1-15 "Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field that the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden?’” / The woman answered the serpent, “We may eat the...

    The Bible Teaches that Repentance and Faith are Gifts from God.

    Praise the Lord God Almighty. That's what I try to do, with God's Blessing. Could you name one? Right. They are all Spiritually blind. No choice is offered. "Not every man in the world is here meant, or all the individuals of human nature; for all are not the objects of God's Special Love...

    Are You a Baptist Onlyist?

    Regarding the Bible: No. We are not Ruckmanites, like when folks are referring to KJV onlyism. All of Peter Ruckman's tenants are abhorred with indignation. We know that God's Promise to Preserve His Word took place concerning the KJV. There was a Biblical substantiation for utilizing that...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    No way on earth or in Heaven. FAITH HAS NO MERIT IN ITSELF. Faith is merely the channel through which God's justifying and sanctifying grace flows into the soul. Faith is no more meritorious than the act of receiving a gift is meritorious. Faith in no way is a substitute for our obedience to...

    In the context if the Bible, is the word 'believe' the same as "faith'?

    Amen. "Born." "From Above." Yep, apparently that is what you believe, but Paul never did and still doesn't in Heaven now. Don't know where you come off thinking your statements are always the Mind of God. Nobody said anything like that. Your denial of the Bible teaching of Total Depravity...

    The Bible Teaches that Repentance and Faith are Gifts from God.

    John 3:5; "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6; "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7; "Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8; "The wind bloweth where it...

    One baptism?

    The Supernatural Gifts of Instantaneous Miracles? No. Can't go there. There is no situation in Spiritual Reality, or the Bible, where it could be said, "Believers are added to the church," as if "the church" is what the Bible teaches is The Kingdom of God, made up of all saved souls on earth...

    The Bible Teaches that Repentance and Faith are Gifts from God.

    "The unbeliever cannot understand or accept the gospel, for it is foolishness to him; How then can he respond to it and believe in Christ as his Savior? "Every intent of his heart is evil, and he seeks not after God; How then can he turn to Christ for salvation and embrace Him as his...
