Yes, it would not invalidate the Bible to interpret some usages of "yom" as 12 hour or so hours, some as 24 or so hours, and so as indeterminate periods of time, possibly billions of years. It also would not invalidate the Bible to attribute some apparent time spans as an illusion because God...

Totally off topic post addressing false claims of mind reading. Question: "Can you show me where you get the idea that the punishment for sin is coming back from it’s “distance?”" Answer: Hebrews 7:27 NASB who has no daily need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for...

There are none who seek God when they are sinning! There are none who seek God all the time. No need to reread, as the OP is consistent with all scripture. No one said salvation is of him that wills to be saved, the OP said the opposite and therefore is consistent with Romans 9:16. Once...

Andrew Sandlin has provided the following information concerning a widely held Baptist view of Soteriology: “Man is a sinner, but not so totally depraved that he cannot seek after Christ. God sent Christ his Son to die on the cross for everyone in order to make salvation available to all who...

I am on my 10 yard line, it is 4th and long, and Calvinism will not let me punt because it is predestined that I get tackled in my own end zone for a safety. The claim life only offers the illusion of opportunity is demonic nonsense. The claim we are to beg the lost to be reconciled to God...

1) The commands and instructions of Christ are the Law of Liberty 2) Those set free, being born anew, are to keep the commands and instructions of Christ. Thus we strive to make Christ Lord of our life. 3) Simply put the Law of Liberty is NOT the Torah commands. The Law of Liberty replaced...

These claims are simply an effort to obfuscate. Hebrews 7:27 NASB who has no daily need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because He did this once for all time when He offered up Himself.

I believe the legacy of our past fuels our racial divide of today. Ever hear a democrat say "they want to put you back in chains" or "they want to impose Jim Crow 2.0? Ever see protesters destroy police cars or buildings because they think of the police as the arm of suppressors, not...

Yes, as a rule, those that post "taint so" do not even understand the view that seems to differ from their view. I said putting distance does not remove the sin penalty from God's books, and you did not say putting distance does remove the sin penalty from God's books. It is hard to make...

Thanks for actually stating your position. I disagree, but without candor the chance for improved understanding of God's word is not very big. The issue is not that you do not believe American culture is systemically racist, the issue is the impact that view has on those who believe the claim...

I may have missed it but I did not see "the purpose of the thread is this or that." You did claim the Law of Liberty simply refers to being set free from sin, and does not refer to following the commands and instructions of Christ. I disagree. James 1:25 NKJV But he...

Although some of the word choices are different, pretty much every English translation of Galatians 1:9 reads the same. Here are a few examples: “As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!”...

I have no idea of the purpose of this thread. As a born anew believer, I am not under the Old Covenant Law of Moses, but under the Law of Liberty under the New Covenant. If the point is to claim born anew believers are still under the Law of Moses, the thread needs to address the passages that...

What could be the unstated purpose of this post. Apparently, and I am definitely guessing because the poster could not or world not take a stand, the purpose was to suggest rather than just cover the sins of OT saints, scripture teaches God washed away and forgot the sins, which would conflict...

If we look at the Old Testament Hebrew word, Kapar (H3722) we see its basic meaning is a covering, such as putting pitch on a boat to block water entry. Yes, while the vast majority of translation choices for the word is "make atonement," the word is also translated as purged, removed...

Yet another long post, with you, you, you cluttering any actual content. If a person turns from lying, that does not remove the stored wrath for past lies. If a person puts distance between himself and the consequence of his sin, that does not remove the consequence from God's account book If...

Yes, that explanation can be found, but I believe it is bogus. I think it is obvious righteousness does not come from believing. Demons believe yet are not righteous. Soils 2 and 3 of Matthew 13 believed but were not made righteous. Let's examine Romans 10:10: For with (or by) the heart one...

Folks, this post addresses me and not to topic. Nuff said If you believe in systemic racism, would you sit with your own people, or with those that knowingly or unknowingly look down on your? If we look at movies from the 1930's and 40's we usually see a brief supposedly comic relief bit with...

Romans 5:1 is translated in several significantly different ways. Here is the NASB rendering: Therefore, having been justified by faith,]we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, The Greek preposition translated "by" is "ek" meaning out from, or arising from, or based on. So...

Romans 3:25-26 addresses your truth.
