Well, I stand corrected. We are further apart than I suspected.

That knowledge comes from the hearing of the Gospel through the Great Commission. God having the desire that all men everywhere repent and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Come on, Cathode! How in the world do you expect us to believe such history in the Church as Mary being taken to heaven body and soul at her death? This falls in line with Apostolic Succession, not of word of it in Scripture. I could bring up several other things. The history of the Church...

My sister was crazy over rabbits back in the day. He raised them for years even taking them to rabbit shows, she won several trophies, and 2 best in show. Until she discovered boys, and that was the end of the rabbits. My Dad did the same with the droppings spreading it in the garden.

No disrespect toward you, Cathode, I like you, always have. But your history being placed at the level of Scripture by your leaders is the reason I'm a Protestant. There's absolutely to much of that history in the Church and not found in the Scripture.

Yes, I agree that was the big picture. I don't see any borders between my free will and your election in the explanations of this study. I think we will agree for the most part, Ken. Maybe? I think the Silent Years had much to do with the preparation of the 1st advent, in several ways...

Yes, we have a completely different view of the Church as seen in the Scripture. Paul took Timothy under his wing training him for a pastor, not an apostle. The successor to the apostleship is absent in Scripture after Mathias replaced Judas to fulfill the 12. Only in the mind of the RCC is...

Well, we're human always having to speculate. I find myself doing a lot of that.

There's no one in Hell who can't think back to a time when they ignored the calling of God. Have you ever considered the example of the rich man a Lazarus? The rich man didn't ask why am I here or I don't belong here, he asked for Lazarus to be sent to his brothers so they would not share his...

But God also reaches out to those who He knows will not believe. He said of the Hebrews in the wilderness for 40 years after giving them chance after chance, knowing they would perish in unbelief, "they shall not enter into my rest."

As I have said many times in the past, and from first hand experience, I never rule out the possibility of my being wrong. You have been correct from the very beginning that PSA is not clearly written in Scripture beyond any doubt. We're just reading through different lenses between the...

Well, we disagree Jon. But let's not let this interfere with what we do have in common as Brothers in Christ. I think you know I meant no disrespect toward you as I know there is none taken on my part. We are just expressing what we believe. And I love you Brother in the Lord.

My knowledge of this is a drop in the bucket compared to yours. All I know is what I've seen and heard from the JSM and from the missionaries and pastors in those countries. Swaggart wrote all of the comments in English from various theologians and scholars and the translators follow word for...

I didn't intend for this to become an argument, John. I have watched JS for years but I'm not a Pentecostal, and have my differences with him. But I do agree with his theology. I have no links to this as I watched his program and seen him explain how they translate the KJV into other...

Well I guess it doesn't answer your question directly. I said it in the tense of who knows how many are printing the KJV in other languages and shipping them over the world? There's no official record of it being done. I know that JSM (Jimmy Swaggart) has translated 8 languages in the KJV...

So you believe Christ suffered the wrath of Satan in order to make a reconciliation between God and man. I'm flabbergasted, I don't know what to say! It was God that was dishonored and insulted by man's sin, not Satan. But if this is what you believe there's nothing I can do but pray for...

There is no judgment for sin on man declared righteous by God. The judgment for the righteous will be held at the Judgment seat of Christ, not for sin, we have none in the sight of God being in Christ by grace through faith. We will be judged on faithfulness in our service to Christ, we will...

Ok, Paul said that Christ became a curse for sin. He did this on the Cross by taking the curse of the Law which meant death. He did this taking our place. The judgment we deserved was placed on Him. The Judgment of God was satisfied in Him being the perfect sacrifice for our sins and in our...

In Galatians 4:4 that is what Paul said concerning the first advent of our Lord. I was wondering what do you think was the fulness of time, what had to be fulfilled for God to send His Son? I have my own ideas on this and wanted to see if they fit your idea. This is NOT a trick question, I...

At some point in the life of man he is sentenced to separation from God for his sin, that is the Law, the Law of Sin and Death. It's not only as physical death that man will face. Man's sinful flesh must die to be changed in the future at the resurrection. I don't see your recognition of...
