    Predestination:

    What do you make of the words above of Boettner, a Calvinist?

    Predestination:

    "Most Calvinistic theologians have held that those who die in infancy are saved. The Scriptures seem to teach plainly enough that the children of believers are saved; but they are silent or practically so in regard to those of the heathens. The Westminster Confession does not pass judgment on...

    Predestination:

    Romans 5:12, "because of this, even as through one man the sin did enter into the world, and through the sin the death; and thus to all men the death did pass through, for that all did sin". This says that because Adam sinned, he died spiritually, and then physically. And this, that is both...

    Predestination:

    You say, "A sinner is a person prone to sin. He is bent toward sin". is this also true for babies of a month old, for example? According to Websters 1828 dictionary, as "sinner" is , "One that has voluntarily violated the divine law; a moral agent who has voluntarily disobeyed any divine...

    Predestination:

    Are you saying that infants that die, will go to hell? Then what of David's words about his child that died in infancy? I think that we are entering the unknown here. While it is true that every child born in this world, will, at some time, commit actual sin, can they be condemned for having a...

    Was Phoebe a Pastor?

    Sure, but we must not forget, "For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man" (1 Corinthians 11:7). God's "glory" reflects, on to man, and then from man, deflects to woman, because he is the head.

    Predestination:

    what does this mean? "before the boy will know enough to refuse evil and good" "neither having done any good or evil" "done", from "πράσσω" denoting "to perform", which means that there was a time prior to them "committing" evil/sin. This is what Scripture says. show me another interpretation.

    Predestination:

    I am saying nothing. Paul very clearly says, "neither having done any good or evil". So, by "evil" we must understand "sin" Both passages say that there is a time, only known to God, that babies, do not sin before they actually commit sin. You are assuming that David's child was "elect"? Based...

    Predestination:

    God in His infinite Wisdom has chosen not to tell us, like the origin of evil/sin

    Predestination:

    please explain the two Scriptures that I have given. Science is man-made and completely unreliable. So what are they before 6 months?

    Predestination:

    This has always been a bit of a mystery to me. Granted that God created Adam and Eve perfect and sinless. However, when satan tempted them, they did not have a "fallen nature", so he was able to successfully tempt a "perfect nature"? Just some thoughts...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    I could be wrong, but I think that member "Happy" also does not believe in the distinct Persons in the One Godhead.

    Was Phoebe a Pastor?

    Paul instructed Titus concerning the appointment of "elders". "For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    Yes, we are wasting time which this James guy, who is not being honest with us. I have shown very clearly from Matthew 28:19, that the Holy Trinity of Three distinct Persons, Who are essentially united in One, and he simply ignores it, and posts more nonsense replies. I will not bother any more...

    Predestination:

    A sinner can only be a person who actually commits a sin. Every human being born has a sinful nature. What do you think the Bible means when it says, "For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good" (Isaiah 7:16). "neither having done any good or evil" (Romans 9:11)...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    You are the one denying that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are "distinct", which makes you a "oneness" or "modalistic", which is a false teaching on the Godhead. I have already shared about "Persons".

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    "How shall we define the term “person”? As it is used in modern Psychology it means an intelligent, free, moral agent. But in setting forth the doctrine of the Trinity the Church has used the term in a sense different from that in which it is used anywhere else. The word “Person” as it is...

    Was Phoebe a Pastor?

    To put it briefly, there are no woman "pastors" in the New Testament, which is clearly forbidden by 1 Timothy 2:12. As well as the fact that Jesus did not have any women as part of His inner circle, as in the 12 disciples. It is the Liberalism in the world that has crept into the Church, that...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    This one line tells me that what you believe is blatant heresy, "Jesus is equal to God because He's the very Word of God, which proceeded from the mouth of God." You falsely equate Jesus Christ with the "spoken" Word that comes from God's mouth! This is complete rubbish and anti-trinitarian...

    The Essential Unity of The Father and Jesus Christ

    I notice that you have ignored all my recent post, which prove beyond any doubt, that the Bible very clearly teaches that the Godhead is One, but there are Three distinct Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, coequal, coessential and coeternal.
