    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    Technically I'm not reformed. I'm Particular Baptist by baptism and church membership. (I admit that I'm more reformed than not though) You all new kind of Baptists might have decided the roots of the faith of your confession is a horrible faith but it's not. It's from God, truly. You should...

    Revelation is not about the FUTURE

    As judgemental as I sometimes think I sound, I'm really not a judgemental person. Being predestinarian it's harder to judge the person. We all have a path to walk, I woke up sat in hell surrounded by demons, who am I to judge? it's just about encouraging positive direction in Christ. If I sound...

    Revelation is not about the FUTURE

    Good morning! I decided I wanted to ask where specifically you think our point of difference is, since I'm missing your implicationn. Perhaps there's a way to try and clarify. As a secondary note, since I'm more awake... Lol. I thought I would add some explanation. My trust in God's people for...

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    It's not one person perse, the world will be full of them. I just manage to get frustrated when people lie and and change their point of view on something as often as the wind changes direction. There's just a level where I'm not sure if everyone is doing the same thing and I just can't notice...

    Any here hold to Mid Tribulation view, and could that be Church leaving when 2 Witnesses are raised back up?

    1. Is the creation still subject to vanity “in hope”? (Romans 8:19–20) Yes, according to the word of God, creation remains subject to ματαιότητι (mataiotēti – "futility" or "vanity"), not by its own will, but by God's decree—in hope. The Greek term ἐπ' ἐλπίδι (ep’ elpidi) in v.20 conveys...

    Any here hold to Mid Tribulation view, and could that be Church leaving when 2 Witnesses are raised back up?

    Absolutely. Why? Is the question because my optimistic expression of life got called baloney?

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    This place is just too much. I'll be where I'm from... Sorry. Not one person here stares the same beliefs and I can't make heads or tails.

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    What do you think my presuppositions came from? . Islam is literally the opposite, in every respect. It's works based righteousness as opposed to salvation by Grace through faith, it had a god that needs men to do what the god cannot, it's a religion based on hate and not love in total. When I...

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    Yes, and your not doing that in my opinion. I didn't come with any presuppositions to Scripture when I opened the Book. I came from the exact opposite space to the faith and learned this faith from Scripture. I have only recently really began to trust things like the confessions enough to...

    Revelation is not about the FUTURE

    If you're a full preterist it could impact your views, I don't know. I'm Amil, an historicist/idealist position largely. (I manage to combine it little of both). I am a newer Christian and find a more difficult time with nuance in people's language. I am not catching some nuances people use...

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    Where in Scripture does it state that Jesus didn't take the punishment for our sins on the cross? Since Scriptures don't prove PSA according to your "giants" (and your back to screaming, it really does make people question your mental state, perhaps you should consider a different way to...

    Revelation is not about the FUTURE

    Well honestly, since I thought saying "I agree" covered my views on the quoted verse I'm really not sure what you are seeking as an answer so I'll write an exposition. You cited 1 Corinthians 15:50, where Paul declares, "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the...

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    How on earth do you presuppose such a cavalier attitude on the Biblical teachings on the Atonement - a key scriptural doctrine for the faithful - to interpret his teachings as stating "I'm probably wrong and Calvin too" from Spurgeons direct teachings? I would love to see the exact source to...

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    You might really enjoy this sermon: https://www.spurgeon.org/resource-library/sermons/predestination-and-calling/#flipbook/. Spurgeon is one of my most favorite pastors.

    Any here hold to Mid Tribulation view, and could that be Church leaving when 2 Witnesses are raised back up?

    Whether the messiness of life is real or perceived, God is still in control of the mess yes? https://ccel.org/ccel/spurgeon/sermons45.xv.html

    Can God forgive sins, and why did Jesus die?

    Would you like my input? It's extra Biblical mixed with Biblical framing and thought but I think it's a helpful thought process and way to consider the cross. Someone got me on a roll one day with maths and I carried it through to some sort extent. I never have gone through and checked all...

    Revelation is not about the FUTURE

    I agree with that. Where does Scripture teach our glorified bodies to be a corrupt thing,? The marrying and being given in marriage and having an earthly, fleshly relationship with God is now, later, after we join Christ in His death and Resurrection, we won't have these bodies of flesh, but...

    Revelation is not about the FUTURE

    Our Lord and Savior preached the ressurection of our bodies. We don't know what type of body they will be, what it will be like exactly, but from John's description and seeing Christ after His ressurection he still has a human form, even when the vision of Him is fully glorified in station...

    Do you see Islam mentioned at all in bible, as being part of future prophecy ?

    Just a heads-up but that's illegitimate. Hamas is the acronym for 3 Arabic words that mean in English the Islamic resistance movement. In the Hamas charter they glossed it as 3 letters HMS, which is where Hamas comes from. The acronym in Arabic also carries the meaning in English of zeal. If...

    The historical event of the actual date of the death, burial resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Friday, April 3, 33 AD led directly into a High Sabbath (a double Sabbath) at sundown, as Nisan 15 began. Six days before that Friday would be Saturday, March 28, 33 AD, which would correspond to Nisan 8. Many scholars suggest he arrived in Bethany just before sunset on Friday (Nisan...
