Don’t really know what point you are making, but to be clear, Matthew 7 demonstrates salvation is about a relationship with Jesus Christ. And you still haven’t addressed your missing the context of Revelation 3:20. Peace to you

You call God a liar? Very bold. You don’t understand the passage because you are attempting to use it as a proof text.. and you are out of context. God did not accept Cain’s offering because he didn’t shed the blood of a spotless lamb, as Abel had done. If he offered what God required, God...

Jesus is speaking to a church full of professing Christians in Revelation 3:20. I’m sure the context won’t stop you from believing what you want to believe. Very good. Accepting the fact you don’t understand is a welcome first step. Let me explain it to you. The gospel, according to 1...

I never said the OT doesn’t apply. Don’t know what you are talking about. Believers are those that respond to God revealing Himself to them, and they always have been. Fair enough You stated some people escape slavery. In the secular world, that is true. Paul is speaking of spiritual...

@Ben1445 … You have a habit of demonstrating ignorance of reformed theology ever time you state, “you believe” such and such. Folks in the OT were saved by grace just as we are. They were chosen for salvation, just as we are. God revealed Himself to them, just as He does to us. They had faith...

Please show me in scripture the phrase “free will choice” to be saved? Please don’t refer to commands to “chose this day who you will serve”. The entire OT Law is full of commands to chose certain things that no body but Jesus kept. Again, show me from scripture the phrase “free will choice”...

Illegal immigrants do not, legally, receive the same “due process” as U.S. citizens. As I understand it, it’s simply a matter of the State department/ICE or some other agency stating they are here illegally… and deporting them. Even if they are here legally, same thing. The U.S. government...

The issue of women not being allowed in pastor/elder roles has nothing to do with the “value” of women in the church. In fact, the teachings of scripture, specifically those of the Apostle Paul, have done more to recognize the value of women in the church and society than any other teaching in...

The context of “where 2 or 3 is gathered” in Matthew 20 is church discipline. I know of a small church that had membership down to a handful of little old ladies that refused to fold and met regularly for several years without a pastor. They eventually were able to get a retired pastor to lead...

The person asking the question “since you believe God determines everything why don’t you accept God decreed women to be pastors” can’t comprehend the truth of scripture found in 1 Timothy, or simply finds a way to dismiss it as not applying to his way of thinking. The difference is what God...

The argument that Paul’s prohibition of women in “elder/pastor” leadership positions as a “cultural expression” of the day has been made for decades, and is wrong. The problem with that argument is that Paul bases the prohibition on OT scripture… that Adam was created first and Eve was...

It can also mean breath or wind Edit to add: Looks like I’m late to the party. Point made by several others already. @Pastor Larry.. i haven’t noticed you as moderator before. Good to have you Peace to you

lol rotf Peace to you

The Jewish people were keepers of oral tradition. Few could read or write. The Apostles would have been motivated to remember the exact words of Jesus. Matthew and John were learned. No t sure about Mark, but he certainly could write. Luke (a physician and the only gentile writer in...

They ganged up on it Peace to you
