Of God and the Holy Trinity – One God in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 Of God's Decree- God before creation chose to bring about creation for the purpose of creating mankind for His glory, Isaiah 43:7 Of Creation –In the beginning, God created the heavens and the...

This appears to be a copy and paste denial of the contextual word meaning. What does kill mean but the end of life. What does death mean but the end of life. No Siree Bob, destroy means never destroyed. Note that many times the Greek word is translated as kill. Less than two years after...

Notice that referring to Luke 13:24 where natural people, unregenerate, seek God searching for the narrow door proves spiritually dead people can seek God, is an attack rather than a defense from scripture. Bonkers delight! God can destroy the human "soul/spirit" in Gehenna, the second death...

Me thinks thou protests too much:

How are we going to get along, unless you stop posting falsehoods. My me remaining silent as you promote false teachings in my opinion?

Should the actual title of this thread be "Some Galatians Lost Their Salvation!" If so, the premise of the thread is false. There is no support anywhere in scripture for those who have been transferred spiritually into Christ to to be cast out. None, zero nada. Here we have the vague phrase...

Just because others behave poorly does not suggest we should behave poorly. We are to give a defense for what believe is truth and not tolerate what we believe are false teachings. God can destroy the human soul/spirit in Gehenna, and those that claim otherwise are wrong.

Yes, Matthew 3:16-17 provides strong evidence of the Trinity, as all three Persons are shown as separate entities being present at the same time. The voice of the Father, the likeness of the Holy Spirit, and, of course, the soaking wet Jesus!

We should seek consensus and unity. Proverbs 27:17. To claim God cannot destroy what He created seems odd.

In Matthew 4:1, scripture says Jesus was "led higher" under the influence of the "Spirit" into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. My wonderful NASB version puts a capital on "Spirit" indicating the spirit was divine, the Father or Son or Holy Spirit. The event took place...

I think we agree, a "spiritually dead" human spirit still animates our human bodies, giving it life. So "spiritually dead" or "dead in our sins" does not mean unable to perform as the "spirit/soul" of our human body. The fiction that being spiritually dead means spiritually inert has absolutely...

I am pretty sure the premise of this thread, dying spiritually, is a fallacy. Yes, God forms our human spirit within us, within our physical body. But this would need to occur just at conception, as without the spirit, the body dies. So the fact that each human has a human spirit seems pretty...

One of the most common ways false teachers present bogus views is to claim something in the Greek grammar requires that their view be accepted as valid. But, their premise is bogus. Those in Matthew 7 said in the active voice, Lord Lord. Next, the claim that the many of Luke 13:24 were...

Here are some highlights: [indent] 1) [SIZE=5]"Forthtelling is a form of prophetic expression that involves declaring God's word or proclaiming truth"

Absolutely, a divorce where the candidate was not the faithful spouse, after claiming they became a born anew Christian, would be a disqualification in my view. I have certainly come up short in my responsibilities to my wife of 50+ years, but to my way of thinking my love and devotion to her...

LOL, are you really making such an unstudied illiterate claim? The idea is that when we evaluate ourselves, if we find that we engage in evangelism, confessing Christ (professing Christ), we have assurance we are "in Christ and Christ is in us." But remember Matthew 7, those that said "Lord...

He does not! I will remember no more forever. The false doctrine is based on a poor translation. When the text just says all, some translations render it all things. This points away from what was contextually in view, and to what is no where found contextually, thus is a translation out of...

Romans 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. According to Calvinism, a person is justified and saved before they believe and confess with their mouth. They only need to evidence that with faith at some point and time. Another...

The solution to the paradox is not that knowing explicitly what is going to happen does not somehow predestine that event, because it would, but rather to accept that Omniscience does not mean knowing everything imaginable, but rather refers to the ability to know whatever God chooses to know...

I think improving our understanding of the "name" of God is important. Consider this: Our traditional doctrine of the Trinity is this: One God in three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. What if an oddball translation put this in their "Doctrine" appendix: Trinity Definition, One God...
