So your mind is infinite and can fathom God, is it? Can it number those things that God plainly tells us can not be numbered? Since God tells us in more than one place, that He is in charge of salvation, is it not better to leave salvation to Him, and simply to obey Him by preaching His word to...

Once again, I think you are adding words to Scripture. You have made the text read that God was reconciling all the people of the world unto Himself. Are all the people of the world reconciled to God and/or He to them? Does He no longer impute the trespasses of any of the people of the world...

We should always exercise caution. This is unbiblical. Scripture speaks of 'A great multitude, which no one could number, of all nations tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne.....' If no one can number them, then who are you, may I ask, not only to number them, but to find...

Yes. Certainly we have this battle with the old self and will have until we arrive in Glory. But there is nothing ambiguous about Titus 3:5 etc. 'He saved us.' 'Salvation belongs to our God....' (Rev. 7:10). We do not conduct this battle in order to be saved, but because we are saved. Col...

The survivors were married.

As a general rule, assassinations do not achieve that which the assassins hope for. The prime examole is Julius Caesar. He was killed because it was feared that he would make himself king. The nett result was that his great nephew (Augustus) made himself emperor. The murders of the Russian...

True, but 'Hope springs eternal in the human breast.' The same chap who wrote that also wrote, 'The worst of madmen is a saint run mad.' I couldn't possibly comment :Cool

I do not disagree with you, but I still think that we should not use the word heresy on a discussion forum. There is at least one person who embrases Hyper-preterism and posts here. If he is a heretic, he should be banned. I would sooner think that his view is outside of Christian orthodoxy...

I think the term "heresy" is most unfortunate in a discussion forum. It conjures up in my mind the Spanish Inquisition and the burning of English Protestants in the reign of Bloody Mary. I have no problem with Preterism, save that I do not believe it to be correct, and certainly no problems...

'Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on Him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war......... And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him of white horses..... He Himself treads the winepress of...

I am not involved with a "religious group," only with a church, so I can't help you.

I studied classical languages at University many years ago so I am not unaware of textual criticism, or redactions. Unfortunately, you do not give examples of the redactions you and your pals claim to find. If you would do so, I might be able to comment with more accuracy.

No. The statement seems quite clear, save that the complaints received concerning the church are not revealed. A quick look at the church's website did not reveal any further details. The FIEC is not a denomination, but a free association, so churches are free to come and go as they wish...

The guy goes on a bit, but in Britain, what is killing the big denominations - Anglican, Church of Scotland, Methodist, United Reformed, Baptist Union - is liberalism. If you can't trust the Bible, if Jesus is just another teacher, if there's no hell, why on earth would anyone bother to go to...

‘For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit...

It is true that I have not read the two commentaries that you recommend; nor have I ever heard of the authors. 'Of the making of many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.' In fact, I venture the opinion that if you had read on beyond page 3 of the Hendriksen...

Liberals have attacked the Canon of Scriptures since the 18th Century, mostly German 'theologians.' The challenges have been rebuffed over the years. I recommend William Hendriksen's commentary on John, which includes a robust defense of Johannine authorship and a date before AD 70, and also...

The Church has not replaced national Israel. National Israel was destroyed in AD 70. There is a country that calls itself 'Israel.' It is the centre of homosexuality in the Levant. 'Know therefore that only they which are of faith are the children of Abraham. Our Lord told the Jewish...

Yes, and Jewish Christians can eat bacon. The only question is if they like the taste.
