You need to look at the image again. It contrasts Early Church vs. Calvinists. The statements of the Early Church are what is stated in the New Testament, as given to us by the Early Church. So, yes, I am persuaded by scriptures, not men.

“We harp on certain sins in sermons, like drunkenness, and completely ignore similar sins, like gluttony. These two in particular are even associated together frequently in the Bible. Maybe it’s just that we are so commonly guilty of gluttony, we would just rather ignore it. Christians are...

This orientation to Calvinism is what concerns me. Shouldn’t we as Christians be more focused on proclaiming Bible truths, rather than cheering for a man-made theological system? I do not see anyone on this forum promoting Wesleyism, Finneyism, Barthism, Mohlerism, or any other theologian or...

Blaming obesity on other people forcing food on you? You can decline the surplus food with a “Thank you, but I’m already full, I’m completely stuffed, and cannot put more into my stomach.” I had to stubbornly resist food forcing when a Muslim friend invited me to a post Ramadan meal at a halal...

You cannot respond to Anthony’s quotation of a verse in Revelation? You accuse Anthony of “coming up with a strange idea”? Is it because the verse contradicts Calvinism? You say you never heard of the “blotting out argument”? This unfortunately makes me think that if Calvinism does not deal...

Yes, the New Testament begins with the 4 gospels. No, Jesus is not the church. He is the head of the church. Jesus said He would build His church.

Abraham and Job were declared righteous long before the sacrificial system was instituted. This righteousness was due to reverence and faith in God and was manifested in good works. Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one...

Wrong. Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness during Abraham’s life, not many centuries later. Romans 4 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to...

Inability of men to seek God or to repent? Then why did Jesus preach, “Repent and believe the gospel?“ Many natural, unsaved men actually do want to stop sinning. They feel shame and hate the destructive effects and addictive strength of gambling, adult entertainment, fornication, adultery...

Gluttony is making food an idol. It manifests itself in obesity. Over-eating is sinful indulging of the flesh. While obesity can be caused by a medical issue, it is mostly due to food lusts. Obesity is not a sign of blessing, it is a sign of a lack of self-control. Our body is a temple of...

Pastor Tony Spell is mocking the Word of God. Laying hands on the sick does not mean beating them up.

Romans 4 1 What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as...

Calvinists consistently deny the simple, clear statements of scripture. Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Calvinists: Every man...

Gluttony is most certainly about food. Your suspicions are wrong. Gluttony is over-indulging in food. It is lust for more food than you need, which leads to disease and wrecking your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, Proverbs 23:20-21 - Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous...

https://manhoodjourney.org/is-gluttony-a-sin/ The sin of gluttony is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of food or drink. But there is a bigger idea at play. It is a desire for more that cannot be quenched, not unlike greed. The point is that food becomes a god for you. In Genesis 25...

What has been slanderous and incorrect?

Looks like the tough guy pastor has a problem with lying. “Allegations that the Central Police Department has failed to investigate complaints lodged by Pastor or Mrs. Spell are untrue. Our records reflect only 5 incidents involving Pastor or Mrs. Spell in the past 4 years, and only one of...

The New Testament begins with the 4 gospels which introduced the new spiritual mentality, going beyond the law of Moses. To say the NT began in the book of Acts is how bad theology creates much false doctrine, while it negates the current use of the Lord’s Prayer, Sermon on the Mount, and...
