A local church uses the Gulf of Mexico ... because it is there (and qualifies as "living" - moving - "water").

He is probably correct ... salt water is harsh on parasites compared to fresh water. That is why you chlorinate a pool if it is fresh water, but not a salt water pool (the salt does the same job as the chlorine).

I stand corrected. :)

You raised some interesting (and potentially valid) points about intended context. As you say ... back to the main event.

hell occurs 54 times in 54 verses in the KJV gehenna occurs 0 times in 0 verses in the KJV gehenna occurs 12 times in 12 verses in the YLT heaven occurs 582 times in 550 verses in the KJV heaven occurs 221 times in 210 verses in the YLT. (the exact count is Translation dependent and then you...

Just as a point of information (Myth Busted) ;) Mentions of Heaven Jesus spoke extensively about Heaven and the "Kingdom of God," using the concept to describe God's presence, eternal life, and His coming kingdom. Kingdom of Heaven/God: The exact phrase "Kingdom of Heaven" appears over 30...

It may be a staple, and I am not as sharp as I once was, but I am having trouble wrapping my head around the “before conversion” part of that. So “before conversion” = “still unsaved”, right? (I mean you specifically list “hear, see, receive, believe and be 'saved'” as coming after...

My answer to your question: I cannot answer WHY another person does something. I would suggest that individuals that place the burden for one person's salvation on the back of another are actually few and far between (like genuine Pelagians). What is far more common (imho) is people that...

That seems a non-answer to the question that I actually asked. If people are saved by God before they hear, making "HEARING the Gospel" non-essential [please correct me if I have misunderstood what you have been claiming] ... then GOD saved Paul without any human help, so and my question is...

So we should now discuss "removed" ... Romans 10:14-18 [NKJV] 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is...

So why did Paul then go and tell others? (Just exploring your chain of thought.) Why are the HYPER-Calvinists that oppose all efforts to reach the lost not correct? [other than the verses that say they are [Mark 6:15]. )

One would hope so. It would be disappointing to learn that we are spreading the gospel to people previously bound for Heaven and damning them by telling them the Good News.

Actually, there is … just practically speaking. In the First Century, Jesus personally appointed APOSTLES who appointed the Elders in each of the churches that they founded (ensuring the “Teaching Elders” had been correctly educated in the Truth handed down by Jesus). If we fire our pastors...

When will the LAST NON-JEW be saved [literally not one more gentile can/will accept salvation] so that the Blindness can be temporally lifted? I just wonder if people have thought through how that could possibly work.

Tommy G was pretty biased in his presentation. Just one example is where he spoke about Jewish people going into the West Bank and just "bulldozing" buildings and taking them from Palestinian Families living there. I just happen to know some of the facts about how complicated that issue really...

Romans 2:28-29 (It is handy when the Bible answers these questions for us.)

So no eating Ivanka. I wonder if that is more a “split of her hoof” issue or a “chewing her cud” issue. ;)

Could anything be less relevant to anything than whether Ivanka’s “rejection of so great a salvation” is accepted or rejected by an apostate sect that denies the Son of God, the only way to the Father?

Historically and Linguistically, was the term “Jew” not derived from “Judah” and a reference to the half-Kingdom with a link to the historic tribes of Judah, Benjamin and the landless tribe of Levi?

We are indeed BOUGHT. Setting aside the OT and Gospels (where it talks about buying things) here are the exact verses using the term [G59] “agorazō”: [1Co 6:20 NASB20] 20 For you have been bought[G59] for a price: therefore glorify God in your body. [1Co 7:23, 30 NASB20] 23 You were...
