It is one thing to be a Mormon. It would be another matter altogether to be a "Mormon Missionary" looking to spread their false doctrine all over the BB forums! In other words, is someone here with the intent of causing trouble? I would hope that the staff here will take such things into...

Thanks for bringing this up. I believe it is not only biblical but is our duty and responsibility to call one's salvation into question when appropriate to do so. If your hope is in whatever you "do" to seek justification or earn favor with God, you are not saved. If you believe you are saved...

Absolutely! We sing the song all the time and kudos to Keith and Kristyn Getty for standing firm refusing to allow words to be changed so it could be included in some liberal congregation's hymnbook. I will use their material any day and twice on Sunday. We need more like them.

To boil things down into one sentence, it is someone who is unregenerate; dead in their trespasses and sin and therefore not understanding or having any interest in the things of God.

My academic dean said I could use AI to a certain point (actually suggested it). For example, to help construct an outline and overall flow of my paper. AI basically summarizes whatever its algorithm is able to pull up on a search engine and you certainly do not want to do a "copy and paste" but...

Jon, when you write it out like this, I'm not finding too much in which I would disagree. I am still out of town and out of pocket though so I am unable to go through this and pick things apart or whatever. Been a busy week and looks like a busy weekend coming up but I will get a better look...

Yes, I know what eisegisis means and no, this is not what I am doing. I am reading this passage in a manner that is consistent with the rest of the Mosaic writings. This is about as far from eisegesis as you can get. Some insist the skins must have came from nowhere, that God made them appear by...

Keep going... Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Now, unless you want to assume that these "coats of skin" appeared out of nowhere, it should be implicit to the reader that a couple of animals lost their lives in order for Adam...

Let's be perfectly clear here. I agree with this statement 100%! But I believe this statement ought to be applied to whatever their theological or philosophical bent! Living a Christ-like life should be our number one objective and our Christian character should outshine our theological...

I think you are making my case for me here! We cannot just find one "smoking gun proof text" and build doctrinal truth upon it! We could do this about literally anything and in so doing, start some new religious movement! This was my point about the Trinity. You cannot find the word "Trinity" in...

Yes, I would stay away from these two churches! By "Church of Christ," I am guessing you probably mean "United Church of Christ" which is, in fact one of the most liberal of denominations today. Seems to me that you could live with this. I am a cessasionist myself but another one of our Bible...

You do have common grace which is given to every man (Rom 1:20). Additionally, you cannot negect man's responsibility (Acts 17:30). Arminians speak of "Prevenient Grace" and perhaps such exists but I would say that this is a part of common grace and not the same as efficacious (saving) grace...

This Bible College and Seminary closed a couple of years ago. My pastor got his Dmin from here.

That's too bad! Perhaps I should move to your town and we could start one together? $50 question though is whether you would be able to put up with me!:Roflmao I am definitely hearing you here! I have been in doctrinally sound churches where the pastor was an absolute loon and I just couldn't...

With all due respect Jon, this is beginning to sound like a Jehovah Witness asking me to provide one verse that proves the Trinity. Seriously, could you sufficiently answer such a question and if you could not, would you then concede that perhaps the trinity might not be biblical after all...
