Is Jesus promise invalid? Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I...

Yes, as the author (the one who begins our faith) and the finisher of our faith, we are secured to persevere in faith to the end. This pathway may be filled with many trials and temptations, but He who began a good work in us is faithful to finish it.

Is there a difference between universal atonement and unlimited atonement? It seems you have an axe to grind toward John Calvin.

That's not the question, jsimms. The question is if there is a difference between universal atonement and unlimited atonement. I am unsure if universalism has anything to do with atonement. I tried to find a difference in an internet search. I couldn't find a difference. But, I have heard both...

Is there a difference? If so, what is the difference?

The short answer is yes. We are saved by grace, through faith. This has been true from the moment Adam and Eve sinned. Jesus atoning sacrifice is past, present and future. There was no need to evangelize the dead and bring them to salvation. That is a Mormon teaching I do not agree with.

I am not Roman Catholic, but there is precedence for confession to others. Brothers,if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law...

George, the documentation of a number of practices comes from writings that are hundreds of years after the actual time period. Add to this that the number of documents are few. What you have is the great possibility that information was written into the documents that the original author never...

Do you pray to the US flag? Do you pray to the saints as determined by your church? Hebrews 11 shows us the "great cloud of witnesses" that is our legacy. Many, since that time, have been added to that legacy. However, I do not pray to any of the persons whom I count as my legacy in the faith...

What do you mean? Do you mean, did the leaders of various churches throughout the Roman Empire have the same authority as the Apostles who were commissioned by Christ Jesus?

I would personally welcome Mike Pence as President. I have no issue with Christians calling out others who claim to be Christian, but don't live as claimed. In my opinion, President Trump shows no evidence of being a Christian. His behavior is not Christ like in any fashion. I could not vote for...

"Redemption rips through the surface of time in the cry of a tiny babe." https://youtu.be/YmZlYiMCvSc

Here is what Peter had to say about Paul's writings and people who were ignorant: 2 Peter 3:15-16 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these...

Do you think this parable is about salvation?

The Apostle Paul points out that works are not the basis by which a person retains salvation. He states that even if all a Christians works were burned in the fire, yet the Christian would escape the flames. The passage below suggests that our role and station in heaven may be determined by our...

Hmm...I thought I gave you the practical answer. Oh well. Carry on.

Where are you getting "looks like the world" from? It's not in the passage. What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do...

Here's a lexicon on verse 4. https://biblehub.com/lexicon/james/4-4.htm Friendship is the greek word "philia." World is the greek word "kosmos." My initial thought is that when we are adopted by God our citizenship transfers from whatever kingdom of men to the Kingdom of God. Humans are at war...
