Well, I agree with several of your stated points yet I wonder if all of them are correct. Saint Paul implies that the all those who do not believe the gospel when it is presented to them and persist in that unbelief hate God. I suspect that deep down they do. I suspect that deep down even the...

So if healing is in the atonement because many miracles take place today then why did I have a cold last week?

If nobody can be deceived because God will not let them be deceived if they are among the faithful then why are there so many different systems of theology and so many denominations? Surely some of them are in error about some of the points in their systems of theology. Surely ... and if this is...

What does 'spiritual warfare' mean in the context of prayer? Is it like the folk who say "I bind you Satan! Be gone! In the mighty name of Jesus"? Or is it something else?

So what you've written is your view? That would mean, when applying the meaning to 'is' that your post gave, that what you've written represents symbolically your opinion. I wonder how long one could sustain that kind of meaning for the word 'is' in normal spoken or written English without...

Transubstantiation is not a dogma.

... or Martin Luther? ;)

I am inclined to see the passage as a warning about receiving the gospel and then abandoning it as if it were something worthless and as if something in this world was better. Yet I am not so sure about the 'impossible to renew them to repentance' clause unless it is speaking of human efforts to...

I wonder if we'd be rich if we named ourselves rich and claimed it in this thread ... shall we experiment?

Well you're claim is not correct. Let's be accurate about this. What I've contended is that every example that I have heard and every example that I have encountered in video and audio recordings is gibberish and not a language with structure, syntax, and vocabulary. And the examples on youtube...

Presumably the biblical examples are genuine while the 'bethel' example is not. In fact the evidence appears to be that the current examples of 'tongues' in charismatic meetings are not genuine either and that's why they turn out to be gibberish whenever they are recorded or transcribed. God is...

The soup was very tasty. Many yummy remarks from me

Saturday, 25th July 2015 Morning We know that we have passed from death unto life. I John 3:14 He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24 -- He that hath the Son hath...

I liked the films. The idea of good vs evil is not unique to Christianity but it certainly plays a part in Christianity. Harry's "patronis" is a stag and the stag was a middle ages symbol for Christ. I think that the author of the Harry Potter books knew this. There are many christian...

I am quite fond of my peeler.

Hello, it is cold here again.

It's interesting how verses get lifted out of context and whole theologies are built on the out of context misuse of them. The paragraph in which the original post's key verse occurs (in the ASV) is this:Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak...

I knew a man who would regularly claim he owned houses in various streets as he drove past them as part of his religious observance of the "name it and claim it" belief. Naturally enough he never owned any of them and the car he drove was repossessed when he failed to meet the payments despite...

When you can produce some examples of speaking in tongues in a charismatic meeting that are not examples of gibberish you'll have a better case.

I am planning to have Chorizo and potato soup :) It looks like this
