To be clear, they have a point concerning the pagan influence. The early church was much more focused on Christ’s resurrection than His birth. When Constantine became the first Christian emperor (supposedly) about 325 or so, he had a big problem. Roman soldiers worshipped the “undying sun” or...

Well, I’d have to do some more research, but my understanding is he preached exclusively in Ezekiel, every time he preached. That’s not to say he didn’t reference other passages, especially concerning prophecy about Jesus, but Ezekiel is where he preached Peace to you

That’s my take as well Peace to you

I remember in the late 80’s and into the 90’s, in Florida and else where, wild accusations of child abuse that turned out to be over zealous adults manipulating young children into making the accusations. People make false accusations. The death penalty is a permanent punishment that cannot be...

Since I am opposed to the death penalty, as a Christian following the command of scripture in 1 Timothy, I do not support adding to the list of crimes punishable by the death penalty. Peace to you

I am stunned they would say those things! Did you hear them yourself or was someone reporting they said it? I’m absolutely stunned and sickened such cowpie came from their mouths. This is heartbreaking. Peace to you

Well that’s too bad. If Christians cannot discuss scripture in a civil manner, what must the lost think of us? Peace to you

You seem to be a very angry man. We are discussing God’s Word and instead of attempting to understand a different point of view you become insulting and sarcastic and insinuate I worship a different God because we disagree. It is very sad to see a professing Christian engage in such behavior...

Newsom is charismatic and a weasel. He will attempt to present himself as a “moderate” though he’s clearly one of the most liberal politicians in the country. He might be able to get the nomination. Kamala will make a run and she could get some traction as the last vp and pres candidate. A...

And yet, here you are responding to my post. Peace to you

Thank you for that work behind the scenes. Peace to you

Follow the commands of Jesus. Let your “yes” be “yes” and let your “no” be “no”. Do you believe I am not saved? Do you believe I worship a false God because I believe scripture teaches the doctrines of grace? If you don’t have the guts to speak plainly then just stop replying to my posts...

Well, let’s get this straight right now so there is no misunderstanding!!!! Are you claiming I am not saved because I worship a different God than you do? Just state your belief plainly if you that’s what you think!!! I do not believe we worship a different God. We just view scripture...

God has called all to repentance and all have rejected. If God chooses people based on what they do (those that chose Him), then you have a works based salvation where God responds to what the man does and then chooses them for salvation. Scripture reveals God chooses us while we are still...

Well, it’s disgraceful to say “your God” as if we believe in a different God. The foundation for every belief is upon scripture. You have no answer for the truth of God’s Word so you lash out with sarcastic insults. Romans 9 to 11 addresses your complaint directly. Luck has nothing to do...

As always, you ignore key phrases in the passage to make it fit your belief. The passage does not say we are “chosen” through faith in the truth. The passage says we were chosen by God from the beginning for salvation.. Paul them elaborates on how salvation occurs… through sanctification by...

That is a good question. To understand, you must first realize we all have a human will enslaved to sin. Our will is not “free” as it is influenced by all sorts of things, externally and internally. That prevents us from desiring to come to God as God has commanded all to come to Him. And it is...

We disagree. Paul specifically says He has chosen “you”, the believers he is writing to. He did not say in the beginning God has chosen the way in which you have the opportunity to be saved if you are smart enough to accept it. Paul tells them God has chosen them for salvation from the...

So once again it is plain for all to see. @Van adds the words “of the New Covenant” to the passage which states God chose us from the beginning…. Paul never mentions “New Covenant” in this passage. He does this to force the his ideology upon the passage because he knows the plain reading of...

Folks,… 1. keep in mind @Van has admitted to having no formal education in biblical languages. All he has is a Greek lexicon and an agenda against the doctrines of grace 2. Keep in mind @Van routinely attacks those who have spent decades studying the biblical languages as not understanding...
