So the Bible states. Why is it a horror that God knows? We can be confident because God has graciously given us faith. I have no idea why you consider God's Sovereign Authority to choose to be a horrible thing and a horrible doctrine. It seems to me that you are desperate for control and thus...

Two flaws in your statement: First, Jesus atonement is for all who believe. What that number is...only God knows. There is no need to worry, God's got this. Second, your whole premise is man-centered. You look at Jesus atonement and make it all about your self. How will I know. If it's not...

Foster parenting is intense and it will test your every fiber of patience, mercy and grace. I pray that God gives daily grace to you and your wife, tango, as you seek to honor God in this much needed role. Your own sinfulness and human frailty will be exposed to you as God heals both you and the...

Please exegete the passages surrounding the lone verses you quote. Then, get back to us with your opinion.

Looks like no one can provide scripture regarding "consecration." Jesus talked to his disciples and said "do this in remembrance of me." There is no place where Jesus says "there must be a priest or consecrated and appointed bishop to perform communion." When we meet as brother and sister in...

What Bible verses are you to referencing regarding communion and consecration? Traditions with no biblical connection are illegitimate to me. So if you are going to talk about consecration be very specific about the biblical text that requires a consecration. Otherwise you're arguing a tradition...

You're right, it isn't a major theological sticking point. Since I am a Particular Baptist, I have had contact with a variety of Baptist and/or Fundamentalist groups. I found that the Conservative Baptists, GARBC and IFCA all trend toward the ages theory of the churches in Revelation. They all...

Oops...wrong site. I am on Tapatalk with both sites and got mixed up with where I was posting. rockytop is a poster who teaches the ages theory regarding the seven churches. It is a very prevalent theory in US fundamentalist churches. I may be mistaken, but I suspect a dispensationalist preacher...

I have addressed the lunacy of the ages theory when addressing rockytop in another topic thread. The ages theory has been entirely debunked. I suggest people pick up Robert Mounce book on Revelation to get an excellent, historic, understanding of the seven churches in Revelation...

You are missing a mentor who can help you rightly divide the word of God. At present you are all scattered and thinking God is contradictory, which is not true. Instead, it seems that you are imposing your own bias on God's word and attempting to make it fit with your bias. Use inductive Bible...

RC Sproul has a good article on the dark night of the soul. Many, including myself, have experienced this difficult season. https://www.ligonier.org/learn/articles/dark-night-soul/ May God give us the grace to say as Habakkuk... Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the...

Will North America see a devastating grasshopper infestation like was seen in the early 1900s? Doubtful since many of those grasshoppers were there because the original plains were being tilled over and all those grasshoppers who once covered the fields had no habitat and food to eat. But, who...

I had to smile at this one from a friend who lives in Minnesota. What a lovely time to have a "drive in" Easter service during a snow storm! Kudos to the pastor for "persevering through the storm", but I hope he doesn't get sick. Kinda reminded me of William Henry Harrison's inauguration...

You use tunnel vision on scripture to your own detriment. So be it. You're not worth talking to on this issue anymore. You have to answer to God for your position and I have to answer to God for my position. Best wishes.

Exactly. You haven't done anything except quote a couple sentences and imply that the meaning is obvious. I reject your implication as horrific Bible study method that results in false doctrine. It is the Bible study method of Islam. That is how Muslims approach the Bible. They quote sentences...

God is correct. Now show me why your interpretation of scripture is correct. But, you refuse to do that, which is precisely why what you are doing is illegitimate.

Josiah, I have seen all your posts. See all of mine and either exposite the text or accept that you have done nothing to legitimize your position. You are arguing like a Muslim would argue. That should be a red flag to your methodology.

Josiah, Muslims, Jehovah's Witness and Mormons do what you have done. Are they all correct in their claims? You are copping out on your responsibility to rightly divide the word of God. You can hide behind your tactics, but any thinking person will observe what you are doing. At this point I...

Josiah, you quote scripture in the same way a Muslim quotes scripture. Just share a sentence, out of context, and ignore how it distorts what God is saying. Then, claim ignorance and that you haven't done anything but quote a verse. Yours is a cop-out that leaves a person to create their...
