I had asked AustinC to answer my two questions with a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Are Christians not to hate what God hates? Do you consider the Roman Catholic Church a true Christian Church? Caught in a perplexing dilemma as were the Pharisees when asked by Jesus the origin of John’s baptism...

Preterition is the negative decree by which He will not grant saving grace when He passes over the reprobate. Hardening is the positive decree by which He punishes sin with sin, as He did with Pharoah, ensuring their ultimate condemnation. The Roman Catholic Church passed into the hardening...

But this is the very point. Justification implies sanctification and holiness. Where there is no sanctification or holiness (as I pointed out previously by enumerating a few of their well-known sins), there is no justification. This is elementary Christianity requiring no ThD. Furthermore...

Thank you, Silverhair, for having the courage to enter into this conversation. It is my firm belief that many Bible controversies are due to a misapprehension concerning the natures of both God and man. My authoritative source is the whole counsel of God. This requires time and effort to digest...

I do, AustinC. The argument over justification is moot when the ‘Church’ in question has been identified and verified as the greatest satanic deception the world has ever known; whose priesthood are homosexual pedophiles; whose powers are such that they allegedly create their Creator through...

“Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will” (Ephesians 1:5). The destiny of God’s elect was planned by God before creation, without the input or counsel of others. Our infinitely wise Creator needs no help, let...

At the heart of the division is the fact the Roman Catholic Church is no Christian church, but is the false church depicted in the Revelation. This was known and taught for centuries by true Christians whom the RCC labelled 'heretics,' worthy of death.

RC Sproul and White Horse Inn do not believe as the Protestant Reformers believed. The Reformers wrote voluminous commentaries on the Revelation and 2 Thessalonians 2, proving the Roman Church is Mystery Babylon, her Pope in office, Antichrist. Sproul was a Preterist as, I am sure, Horton is...

The phrase "rob God of His glory" typically refers to Christians who, in effect, claim to share credit with the Lord for their salvation. For example, this is evidenced by those who view their election due to God's foreseeing their "accepting Christ in their heart." Thus, they view election...

The JW Bible can also be used to refute JW doctrine. :)

A personal one-on-one Bible study is most excellent because questions and objections can be answered immediately.

The Romans Road is a very popular means of evangelizing. Scriptural references are most important when writing theological theses. They are not as important when evangelizing crowds who have no familiarity with the Bible and who couldn't care less where these arguments are found in what book...

Tragically, for many professing Christians the Bible alone is not sufficient authority. Of course, there is also the controversy over which Bible version is authoritative. IMHO, every Bible version contains enough truth to bring the elect to saving knowledge of Christ.

Indeed. We also pridefully exalt ourselves above our fellow depraved sinners...... inferring we are 'superior' for our 'righteous decision.'

Too chilling and horrifying to contemplate..... but such were we before the love of God and His sovereign grace manifested itself in our depraved lives.

The eternal Triune God was perfectly happy and content before creation. This is due to the fact that He is perfectly, infinitely complete within Himself, having no need for anything or anyone to add to His perfection or improve it. He has never and will never lack any good thing. Yet, the...

Part 4: Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Miracles Do Not Beget Faith, Yet Can Prove Calling Scripture is clear. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of...

Part 3: Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. Jesus is teaching a vital principle, though disbelieved by the cults and Roman Catholic Church: the Sufficiency of Scripture. The 1689 Baptist Confession explains it in...

Timtofly asks two questions: First Answer: John 3:16 is clear to many of us: Belief/faith in the active and passive obedience of the God-man Savior Christ assures us of eternal life. We are justified by faith alone before God, while justified by good works -- the fruit of that faith –– before...
