I don't understand what you mean by, "Christ was not from Adam"? The entire human race is from Adam and Eve, who are the first parents. This includes Mary, who was the mother of Jesus Christ, from whom Jesus derived His "human nature", apart from any sin. While it is true that Joseph was not the...

Richard Trench, in his Synonyms of the New Testament, has a very important definition of the Greek word, "πειράζω" (to try, attempt, test) "But the word itself enters on another stage of meaning. The melancholy fact that men so often break down under temptation gives to peirazein a predominant...

Here some Calvinists would have us believe, that the Greek word, “kosmos”, which is rendered “world” in all English versions of the Bible, should take on a limited, special sense of the world. It is assumed, that, because there are instances in Scripture, where “kosmos” is used in the sense...

Yes, that is true. But there are many who were and still are in the CoE who are very much Evangelical, like J C Ryle, John Stott, Dick Lucas, etc, etc. Both John and Charles Wesley remained in the CoE, even though they opposed much of what it stood for. I don't think there is any Bible...

Yes, as was Joseph Henry Thayer of the famous Greek Lexicon, who was also a Unitarian, and part of the committee in the USA! How can any translating committee that is meant to be "Evangelical" include those who oppose Bible Truth? This should not surprise us though, as in modern times we have...

Yes, as it is in the Codex Alexandrinus, which I managed to examine at the British Museum some 25 years ago. I think that the Patristic witness is far more weighty and important for this verse, especially of the Greek speaking Church.

The Revised Version of 1881-1885 distorted one of the strongest texts in the Holy Bible on the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul wrote "Θεός ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί" (1 Timothy 3:16), which was corrupted to read, "ὃς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκί" "God was manifested in the flesh", to "Who was...

Indeed, like "κόσμος" in John 3:16 meaning "the world, the human race", and not in any "limited" sense!

What does Paul mean by "work out your salvation"? (Philippians 2:12). Read Hebrews chapters 3 and 4 where it says that we must remain faithful/believing to the end, to enter God's final rest, which is heaven...Doing nothing is not an option!

Jesus says in John's Gospel, chapter 5: "I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life" (verse 24) The Greek "μεταβέβηκεν" is used in the perfect indicative, which denotes that the...

it also depends on how the Scriptures are used, or misused!

Well, for the first four points of "Calvinism", they do not.

The main problem with this "confession", is that it is heavily biased with its Reformed/Calvinistic theology, much of which is not really Scripture grounded, even though it gives Bible texts, they do not represent what the Bible actually teaches!

You will find solid Bible support for your first four bullet-points. The last one on a truly saved person being able to "lose their salvation", is not that simple, as there are very strong texts in the Bible for both arguments. I personally hold that it is not possible for a "born-again, Spirit...

GEHENNA - is strictly "the valley of Hinnom" (Jos 15:8; Ne 11:30); "the valley of the children of Hinnom" (2Ki 23:10); "the valley of the son of Hinnom" (2Ch 28:3); "the valley of dead bodies," or Tophet, where malefactors' dead bodies were cast, S. of the city (Jer 31:40). A deep narrow glen S...

yes, you need to take a break to cool of and read your Bible more with the directing of the Holy Spirit, and not your warped theological mind!

You HATE Bible Truth!

[Edited: Name Calling] It is very sad that when hard-line, loveless Calvinists cannot take the heat, or cannot get their own way in a debate or argument, that they lower themselves to name calling or making dumb and offensive remarks. Did you know that the Bible says, that when you insult...

No sane believer ever doubts that salvation, from start to finish, is the work of Almighty God. God the Holy Spirit must do a work of "conviction" (see John 16:1-8) in the heart of the unbeliever which would lead them to repent. But as Stephen told the Jews "you always resist the Holy Spirit"...

is that YOU?
