The Roman Catholic doctrine of Justification does not differ rather widely from the Protestant understandings of the doctrine that differ rather widely from each other. Indeed, the Roman Catholic doctrine of Justification is nearly identical to the Lutheran doctrine. However, the Roman Catholic...

The Roman Catholic Church teaches justification by faith alone, as do many Protestant churches. As I have already posted, The late Monsignor Patrick Boylan, M.A., D.D., D. LITT., Consultor of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, Professor of Eastern Languages, University College, Dublin...

Merriam-Webster bases all of it definitions upon their own massive database of actual word usage. That database clearly shows that in the English-speaking world, the word Parousia does not express the concept “presence” but rather it expresses the concept: in Christian theology : the time when...

Two points. (1) I was not addressing you in the second part of my post, but rather whatever preterists might read my post. That is why I began the second part of my post with the words, “My note to preterists:” (2) The Council of Trent was convened to address the new teachings coming from the...

How do you reconcile the contrast between the Roman Catholic Church as of December 4, 1563 and the current teaching of the Roman Catholic Church as evidenced by the direct, verbatim quotes that I posted? My note to preterists: The Roman Catholic church does not teach a preterist view of the...

Should we toss out as heresy the doctrine of justification by faith alone simply because Roman Catholics have taught it throughout the history of their church, and staunchly and unreservedly teach it today? The Saint Joseph Edition of the New American Bible (1971) has the following note on Rom...

The Scriptures expressly tell us that God is capable of feeling both grief and joy: Psalm 78: 40. How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert! Isaiah 63: 10. But they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit; therefore he became their enemy; Mark 3:5. He...

Who are you to tell God that He has to know everything when the Bible explicitly teaches that God has the ability to learn, that He has learned, and that He has at times changed His mind upon learning what He hitherto did not know. Even cockroaches have the ability to learn. What do you believe...

As I have posted over and over again, the Bible clearly tells us that God is a sentient being. No amount of silly philosophy will ever change what the Bible says.

Those verses are from the Bible and they are clear, explicit, unambiguous statements that prove that your repeated and repeated claim that “God can’t change His mind” is a willful, deliberate lie! And not just a lie, but a lie about God, His essence, and His nature. Is it even possible to tell a...

God, being just and holy, changes His mind when the circumstances require that He do so. Changing His mind does not make God a liar. You, on the other hand, appear in your posts to be a habitual liar just for the fun of it! Jonah 3:10. When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil...

The answer to this question depends upon whether one believes clear, unambiguous, and clear statements in the Bible or on the contrary—his own foolishness. 1 Sam. 15:10. The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11. “I regret that I made Saul king, for he has turned back from following me, and has...

Our God is immutable! His essence and His very nature are not capable of or susceptible to being changed, but God has a mind of His own. And because God’s mind is His alone, He is perfectly free to change His mind so long as His essence and His nature are not changed—and of course, they cannot...

Malachi 3:6. For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, have not perished. 7. Ever since the days of your ancestors you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, “How shall we...

Gen. 6:55. The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. 6. And the Lord was sorry that he had made humankind on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. 7. So the Lord said, “I will...

First of all, I need to say that my statement, “The volume on the Pastoral Epistles published in the ICC series in 1999 was written by Marshall with no input by Towner as is made expressly clear in the print copy and even in the preface in the Logos copy” was incorrect. However, I made this...

No, it is not! The volume on the Pastoral Epistles published in the ICC series in 1999 was written by Marshall with no input by Towner as is made expressly clear in the print copy and even in the preface in the Logos copy. This is one of the many errors in the Logos Bible Software that make it...

? Marshall contributed his commentary in the ICC series in 1999. Towner contributed his commentary in the NICNT series in 2006. However, I do find a few references to such a book. Do you actually own this book?

I am familiar with some men who are not only fluent in Greek and Latin, but also in Hebrew and numerous other Semitic languages and yet their neighbors know them only for the excellent quality of their lives and their love for God and His word. I am, unfortunately, also familiar with some men...

Complementarianism and egalitarianism are the two opposing views of the proper roles of men and women in the church and society. William D. Mounce (WBC series), Philip H. Towner (NICNT series), I. Howard Marshall (ICC series), and George W. Knight, III (NIGTC series) (among many other scholars)...
