If someone were to read a NWT in all of its perverted glory, would it or would it not be able to make one wise unto salvation? The Book of Mormon is filled with passages that have been plagiarized, lifted right out of the scriptures which are, in fact inspired. Could God use such passages to...

I have wondered about this. I believe we will be in the resurrection who we are in this present age minus the sin and minus our present decrepit, corrupted bodies. I have been told that we will all be 33 years old as Christ was when he was crucified and resurrected but what of his appearance in...

Paul also makes it clear that he who speaks in an unknown tongue edifies himself. How can one be edified if they themselves do not know what it is they are saying? Tongues are languages - perhaps unknown to one particular group but one that is a spoken language somewhere in the world. Why would...

Just shows me that 57% of the people who were polled are biblically illiterate!

I agree 100%. This is a simple reading and understanding of the text.

Go back and look at the scriptures you have cited and tell me where it mentions you praying in an "Unknown tongue." 15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. Praying or...

Of course, and I would gladly go there myself. Time began in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth. Prior to this, there was no time because there was nothing that marked a starting or ending point whereby one could measure time but once God said "Let there be light," an...

There are a good number of Baptists who are "Continuationist" including a few who happen to be in our congregation. I know this personally because I got an earful from them when I was teaching through 1 Cor 14! I believe that the "Prayer Language" thing is concessionary to those who believe in...

For that matter, why is there space and why is there matter? What purpose do they serve?

I beileve that Romans 5 makes a good case namely with the phrase "sin is not imputed where there is no law." It is further understood that we have both the written laws of Moses as well as the natural laws written in our conscience (Rom 2). There are also the "invisible things of him from the...

I would say that the war with Iran was the nail in the coffin.

Yes, that is what I meant! I must've been in a hurry and was not able to properly proof-read my post!:oops: I guess I only have a short window in which to edit a post so I am unable to go back and make a correction!

This is where we need to stick to the scriptures and formulate our theology from here. That God decrees all things which come to pass goes far beyond Calvinism and right into Theology Proper and the attributes of God. Let's try this again answering the following Questions: 1. Does anything...

I'm sorry but the vast majority of the posts I see of you are either a feeble attempt to refute Calvinism or spinning an issue into an argument about Calvinism in order to argue about it. this has been my experience with you so I tend to overlook your posts. I really have no interest in endless...

I do not interact with Van too much here. He is typically a "One Trick Pony" and always trying to disprove Calvinism from what I can see. I usually pass over his threads but couldn't ignore this one. If you want to make a strong argument, you have got to look at all sides examining the...

But "MAGA" politics has perverted the Gospel as well and perhaps far worse! Don't get me wrong, I am as conservative as can be but I am conservative because I am a Christian (not vice versa); because biblical Christianity shapes my worldview whereby I believe in law and order, that abortion is...

Remember in 2016 when it was predicted that Hillary would win in a landslide? Whatever the outcome, I have to keep remembering that "God decrees all things which come to pass" which includes elections that do not seem to go the way I would've liked it to. I voted last week and you had better...

Absolutely. I do not believe that Van actually believes this but was using absurdity to prove a point. People become so obsessed with their desire to disprove predestination and election that they cherry pick and conveniently leave something out that quickly and easily refutes (or at least...

Wow! I stand corrected! It's hard work getting saved and one has to look diligently for that "Strait gate and narrow way" but God rewards salvation to whoever finds it! It is so hard to find that you must REALLY WANT to be saved if you are going to persist! Thank you for setting us all straight!

Just going to sit back here and watch KJVO types argue over Ruckmanism...
