Yes. Most Christians treat Moses as the "father of us all", but Paul gives that title to Abraham.

"Save(d)" does not always refer to salvation from the penaly of sin. In fact, it's seldom used that way.

You should read my post again. I specifically said, new birth.

If even one illegal gets amnesty, I will consider my vote for Trump wasted. Many, if not most, voted for him because we wanted a return to law and order.

I would not spend my time on such poppycock.

I don't think that anyone should be dining at Hooters because of its objectification of women; however, creating a rule about such a thing is nothing less than modern-day Phariseeism. It does not produce righteousness, only self-righteousness.

Progressive Liberals get everything wrong. A warped worldview produces warped policies and actions.

Although synergists like Lewis being with the idea that "self-surrender" is a prerequisite to the new birth, there is no scriptural evidence for such an idea. Indeed, salvation is necessary because men do not surrender their wills to His.

The Problem of Evil.

God told Adam that he would die when he ate the fruit. Every breath you take is a gift. God owes you and me nothing. Yes, I can see how the natural mind would find fault with God. They do it all day long. The question is, will you join them? Just because your roommate is insane or distorts a...

You can't start impeachment proceedings for either of those allegations. You don't like Trump. That doesn't matter. The voters have spoken. Maybe it's time you quiet yourself and accept reality.

This is Jesus' answer to the "problem of evil": There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And he answered them, Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they...

First, where are these innocent people you speak of? I would like to meet one. Second, Jesus was indeed innocent, and God was pleased for Him to suffer. But it was the LORD's good plan to crush him and cause him grief. Yet when his life is made an offering for sin, he will have many...

You will have little idea what the new covenant is or the need for it unless you understand the old covenant first. Far from obsolete, it tells the story of redemptive history. It speaks of Christ (Luke 24)

I don't think that the problem is that difficult for Christians. The Fall explains a lot, and individual sin, the rest. God created mankind and his environment, "good". We have grown so accustomed to putting God in the dock that even your OP isn't shocking (to most), but it should be, as a...

Yes. and, Jesus liked to answer questions with questions, as well.

Is Jesus God?
