Here is the NET bible footnote: 63tn Or “capstone,” “keystone.” Although these meanings are lexically possible, the imagery in Eph 2:20-22 and 1 Cor 3:11 indicates that the term κεφαλὴ γωνίας (kefalh gwnia") refers to a cornerstone, not a capstone.

The issue is not what I like. I like the truth. No one said anyone but Jesus, was righteous. We all have fallen short. But I expect you know that is NOT the issue. Total Depravity, meaning "total spiritual inability" is the fiction. Many of the lost are indeed able to seek God, Luke...

Anyone can read into scripture any sort of doctrine they desire. First, the issue is NOT "preceding" grace. Of course God reveals Himself in order for us to be aware of invisible attributes. General and Special Revelation. That is NOT what Prevenient Grace is. Prevenient Grace is the...

The chief cornerstone, Christ,.. “A STONE OF STUMBLING AND A ROCK OF OFFENSE”; they stumble because they are disobedient to the word, and to this they were also appointed. How were the lost "appointed" (set unilaterally) to stumble and be disobedient to God's word? See 1 Peter 2:8. We were...

The premise of this thread is that Christians should not support the "death penalty." We know that God supports the death penalty. Everyone not saved undergoes the second death. It is true that acting on our own, we are not to take a life to punish someone. But acting under the color of...

Consider Romans 5:2, which says "we have gained access by faith, into this grace...." I say, post # 53: "First he agrees faith provides access to grace, but then returns to the vomit, and claims God's grace instills faith. Insanity on display! So this Calvinist rewrite changes "we have...

We know of two verses that indicate Christ is the cornerstone. See Ephesians 2:20 and 1 Peter 2:6. Clearly Christ is the cornerstone of the foundation upon which the household of God is being built. But just what does the "cornerstone" do? It is the "joining" stone connecting seemingly...

On and on, but never even addressing the fiction of instilled faith after regeneration after being transferred into Christ spiritually. Folks we were chosen for salvation through, or on the basis of, faith in the truth. Faith could NOT be instilled in us by Irresistible Grace BEFORE we were...

Your view is not consistent with scripture. Many (lost) people seek God but are unable to find Him. Luke 13:24. Can you answer the question, why would the Holy Spirit make the gospel real in the heart, if they then will not be able to find Him. Or the verse in Matthew where people are in...

Ephesians 2:1 NASB And you being dead by reason of your offenses and sins, Here we see that being spiritually dead was caused by sin. Sin causes separation from God, because He is holy, but we were unholy as "made sinners." See Isaiah 59:2 and Romans 5:19 In this condition, as initially...

You cannot escape the deceivers posting on this board without careful bible study, because there are a slew of them, all slinging the same corrupt hash. The truth is not derived by accepting what I say, but in your determination of exactly what does God's word say.

Consider Romans 5:2, which says "we have gained access by faith, into this grace...." I say, post # 53: "First he agrees faith provides access to grace, but then returns to the vomit, and claims God's grace instills faith. Insanity on display! So this Calvinist rewrite changes "we have...

We know from the Old Testament about "manna from heaven" which provided physical nourishment to those delivered out of Egypt. See Psalm 78:23-25. But in the NT, "manna" is used to describe spiritual nourishment, and is otherwise described as "the bread of life" or the "bread of angels." My...

Yet another off topic post for the purpose of suppressing discussion of biblical doctrine.

Free speech is needed to carry out Christ's ministry. Difficult to present the gospel in a country where it is a capital offense. All this to say suppression of information is the necessity of Satan, and the presentation of truth is the necessity of God. Based on its programming, AI can...

Note the change the subject ploy, the hallmark of false teachers when exposed.

Since we do not have the original hand written scriptures, but only copies and copies of copies, we had to discern which copies to include as inspired, and which to exclude as inaccurate, either because of additions, deletions, or alterations. There are three main sets of compilations, the TR...

The insanity continues, note the absence in Romans 5:2 of faith being "given!" They are charlatans folks, twisting what they say, what I say and what the bible says to defend obviously false doctrines.

All of us born anew believers called on the "name" of Jesus. We believed "into" the name of Jesus. But just what does "name" mean in this context? If we come in the "name"of Jesus, that means we believe we are acting under His authority and for His benefit. See Acts 16:18. In John 1:12 we...

One of my kids, now middle aged, home schools not only his families kids, but others also associated to a charter school program. So they get some socialization when in the home, but also during the public school funded classes and outings. Both of the two oldest have received certificates...
