Just looking at this verse for the moment, noticing you emboldened it, why do you think it helps your argument? The context tells us that it is referring to a decision whether to trust another human instead of God, and that we can’t know another’s heart in order to trust him. Paul tells us we...

Can the dead breathe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes No Righteousness does not overcome sin’s wages of death. Blood must be spilt. Since all have sinned, all must die, or someone must die for all. I believe we sinned “in Adam”, but we also sin personally. Repentance, while possible without Christ’s sacrifice, does nothing to remove the...

Hmmm. I’ve never had anyone offer to accept me as pope before. I’m afraid I need to refuse, because if I were, you shouldn’t listen to me. Matt 23:9 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We are saved 1. When Jesus died in our place 2. When we believe 3. When we are raised from the dead 4. When we enter into His kingdom #1 all humanity is saved by the death of Jesus, you can tell, because all will be raised from the dead. This is salvation from the first death. But it isn’t...

There is a slam dunk victory, but neither side will allow it. That’s why the fight goes on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, there are! Jesus tells us this: [Jhn 3:18 KJV] He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. You'll notice Jesus doesn't say the the believer is "not condemned already"...

My Southern Baptist pastor did a sermon series from Gen 1 on Henry Morris and John Whitcomb’s work in the early 1980s. Lasting impact, as I headed to college soon after. Thank you for carrying that work forward! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We drove back and forth over a couple of bridges on the south side of Cincinnati when we visited last year. And I275 crosses near the Ohio/Indiana border and runs right by the Creation Museum.

Thanks for the clarification. I remember when the ID movement was getting started, and a number of Christian YEC groups denounced it, as well as the term, for the same reasons. But since then they've used the term more and more, and I believe have appreciated the approach, though are still...

I took the family to the Ark last year. It was fantastic! Much better, imho, than the creation museum. But I'm an engineer, so I was intrigued with their attempts to figure out some of the difficulties in keeping the animals and people housed, fed, and clothed through the flood, not to mention...

I'm not sure how the underlined statements can be in the same paragraph. Do you not think God is intelligent? Or do you not think He designed His own creation? I like the Cupps/Plato quote (and it does sound familiar), but do you then think Plato's idea is suspect, or do you think he's a...

Well, you will rather be me when God tells you you shouldn’t have been blaspheming His name and blaming Him for sin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Verse? Could we be saved without the resurrection of our bodies?? I don't think the bible ever presents salvation without the resurrection. I could be wrong. I think my comment above is answer to this. Can you tell me where salvation does NOT include the resurrection of the body? No, it's not...

We could go on like this for quite some time, but just know that if you claim the authority of scripture, you are claiming it philosophically, since scripture doesn’t say, “AustinC’s interpretation is 100% approved by God”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

pretty good. But adoption as sons seems to be intricately tied up with salvation, so I don’t know that he made that good of a distinction. To me, he spent too much time talking about our spirits and souls being redeemed separate from our bodies. I think the redemption of the body is the whole...

Again, that works both ways, which is why I thought you would need to refute it, since your philosophy isn’t presented in the Bible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, and I appreciate the distinction (which I talked a bit about here: Were non-Calvinists predestinated to be non-Calvinists?) The key to predestination, however, is foreknowledge in the Arminian view, whereas the key to foreknowledge is predestination in the Calvinist view. The Calvinist...

What you’re saying here is that predestination is a general thing, where God didn’t necessarily know who He was predestinating for Christ-like glorious resurrection bodies? I’m ok with that. But if a particular person is predestined for a particular outcome, it requires the foreknowledge in...
