One God created one universe that began with one man and one woman whom God placed on one planet. After man sinned God later made a promise to one man to bless his posterity and created one nation from which one Savior would die for all and He declared there was only one way to heaven. The...

Almost every church in that Diocese (a Catholic term) is Roman Catholic. The Anglican church isn't too far off, and in this particular diocese appears to be in cahoots with all the other RCC churches (since they are in the same diocese). Plus, he has an open-invitation to come and go as he...

I don't think this is proof that the concept of being "born again" was evident in the OT. Jesus was deriding him because Nicodemus SHOULD have known once Jesus explained it to him,and he just didn't get it even though he was a leader among law practicing Jews, yet a fisherman got it. Jesus also...

That is applicable to personal publishings, not in the NIV's case which falls under a different statute which requires that the registration be renewed each 28 years. The last NIV was published in 1984 which meant that it was due in 2012, and the the newest version was published at the end of...

Here's just one of the translators on the NIV committee: Rev. Dr. Paul Swarup The Rev. Dr. Paul Swarup is a minister with the Church of North India in the Diocese of Delhi, presently pastoring at Christ Church, Noida. He holds a PhD in OT Theology/Dead Sea Scrolls from the University of...

Iconoclast: (Post 60) I'll only respond partially to this since you said part 2 was coming and this response doesn't come close to answering either of my responses which I am assuming will be in part 2. But to address the issue of force. Calvinist may not admit that force is in effect, but you...

No, it means they revised it because the copyright is about to expire and they need to make adjustments so they can reproduce it as a new version and continue making $$$$ off the sales. But that can be a yes, too. With the constant move toward progressive Christianity and emergent churches...

Actually, every major error begins with a misunderstanding about the nature of God. And you say "Jesus taught men are bound not free"? First of all, scripture and verse please. Secondly, Jesus said the opposite in Matthew 17:26 and John 8:32. Furthermore, in Matthew 23:37, Jesus made it clear...

Without even needing to address every point you made, your argument just confirmed my original statement. Every example that you offered was a performance based evidence that you are of the elect, and if it is performance based, you can not claim that your salvation is based upon faith in Christ...

I would agree with you on that which is why Paul made the distinction of science FALSELY so-called. There were many early "Christians" (I say that parenthetically because some were from the RCC) that were renowned scientists that argue for creation and were opposed to Darwin. This article...

I am not disagreeing that we can know that we are saved. I believe in eternal security whole heartedly. But when you change the definition of how a person is saved (free choice or irresistable grace) you change how one determines the assurance of their salvation. Even in your own example...

You miss the point of the argument entirely. 1 Thess 1:4 is not itself the proof that you are elect. That is circular reasoning. What is the basis on which you know you are of the elect? Do you have access to the book of life? Is your name written in the Psalms in code somewhere? On what do you...

Here is where I call non-sense on that statement, sorry. On my website, I use the name Jeri Massi on a few articles when referring to Jeri Massi's blogs. Not once have I EVER used the term "BASS" to describe Jeri Massi, which only a person that knows Jeri's blog handle on other websites would...

A Critique of Jeri Massi's "Destroyer of the Faith". Do Baptists really use an atheistic model of creationism to explain the universe? Should we keep up with science? What about them hypocrites in the church? Are they legitimate excuses to reject Christianity? http://wp.me/p2K6Yn-gT Oh, and...

Probably one of my biggest "beefs" with Calvinism (among many as it is a lengthy debate) is that it ultimately leads to Arminianism. A Calvinist can not have any real assurance of salvation if the criteria of being saved depends on being of the elect and chosen by God. When the Bible says to...

The fact that I didn't list those names in this thread, but you know who I am referring to shows that are a sufficient amount of people that are on this forum that read their blogs, and that is enough motivation for me to post it here. Or perhaps I am mistaken where the header of this forum...

First of all, Romans 16:7 does not say that either Andronicus or Junia were apostles, it says they were "OF NOTE among the apostles". Secondly, neither of them met the criteria for being an apostle listed in Acts chapter 1. It was clear that there was a particular number that was included for...

That is a fair assessment although you have much more grace than I do in having a good time with and praying with Pentacostals.:laugh: I do believe that Baptists can be over-reaching in their application of separation. The definition may be spot on, but the implementation of it is sometimes at...

A "fundy" doesn't separate from you simply because you are a sinner, because then we would all be an island. It is when the practice of sin becomes a normal and acceptable lifestyle that continues unabated. Even if I or others did not consider ourselves fundamentalists, 1 Cor 5:11 is still in...

Not quite sure what your conclusion is here because those early disciples, including those from John (like Polycarp) have statements that indicated the rapture would occur before the tribulation. Covenant theology and Roman theology are not very synonymous. Covenant theology is more closer to...
