A request for clarification, please. In Post #56 on Page 6, IACOBVS informed us: Pedrito was unaware of that. So Pedrito requests of IACOBVS that he provide the Scripture reference that contains that information.

In Post #26 on Page 3, Pedrito said: “Just for fun” and “Pedrito is not attempting to get the budgie to budge.” In the light of that, why don’t we have a little more fun? (Just a bit.) ============================================================================================== IACOBVS, Post...

Post #1 on Page 1: “Jesus died for our sins and for those who don't want that forgiveness.” Post #2 on Page 1: “He died for the world but He's rejected by many.” Post #7 on Page 1: “Jesus came to save anyone (excluding none), but not to save everyone (including all).” Post #8 on Page 1: “But...

Psalms 91, Post #2, Page 1: Pedrito also found informative, the way in which the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) has revealed itself to be devoid of any vestige of Divinely-inspired Apostolic teaching and practice...

Did Readers notice: In Post #28 on Page 3 and Post #31 on Page 4, Pedrito made reference to clear and unequivocal statements by the Apostle Paul that would have barred him from salvation (as later declared by evolving church doctrine). In Post #31, a request was made by Pedrito for Readers to...

From Post #28 on Page 3 regarding statements in the Athanasian Creed, and responses in Post #29 on the same page: Post #28:“The Son was begotten of the Father, which means the Father must have existed before the Son” Post #29: “No.” Post #28:“The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the...

… Continued In Post #1 on Page 1, Lämmchen asked: Some sensible questions naturally spring from Lämmchen’s question, and from the Scriptures that were given in response in Post #8 on Page 1, and from the extended explanation of the particular Matthew 13 parable (Matthew 13:36-43): “36 Then...

IACOBVS, Post #14 on Page 2: And from Post #15: ============================================================================================== Just for fun, why don’t we have a look at the significant words from Galatians 5:19-21 (and Strong’s meanings): “Adultery” G3430 – adultery...

Post #33 on Page 4: “I regard the biggest problem facing churches today is that so many are no longer relevant to the modern world. Churches can no longer reject the realities of science and the modern world in an attempt to return to the now irrelevant certainties of past ages.” Some churches...

Pedrito is still awaiting the answer to the question he posed in Post #13 on Page 2. “Post #5 on Page 1: So it would seem that when people die, they must all end up in the same place initially. They are not separated until “the Last Day.” So where does the Holy Bible tell us that the...

The apostle Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:9,10: “9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards...

This thread focuses on aspects of predestination. Predestination intermeshes with prophecy – God’s declaring the his purposes ahead of time. It has been stated that “God's Wisdom in Christ is the mystery revealed.” That is indeed true. But it is not the whole story. The revealed mystery has...

...Continued Pedrito continues to advance a couple of thoughts. 2. From Post #2: This thought is seen often, in one form or another. It is based on the fact that the Hebrew word translated “was” in Genesis 1:2 (הָיָה hayah) can also be translated “became” as in Genesis 19:26, where Lot’s...

Part of the Athanasian Creed as quoted in Post #11 on Page 2 [emphasis added]: So, we have: - The Son was begotten of the Father, which means the Father must have existed before the Son; - The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and the Son, so the Two must have existed before the Holy Ghost...

Pedrito wishes to advance a couple of thoughts, spanning a couple of posts. 1. From Post #1: Pedrito submits that the only aliens mentioned in Scripture are those of heavenly origin, and the spirit-begotten on Earth. (The faithful prior to Jesus’ sacrificial death and resurrection were also...

Post #5 on Page 1: So it would seem that when people die, they must all end up in the same place initially. They are not separated until “the Last Day.” So where does the Holy Bible tell us that the unseparated dead are at the moment? (Or must we turn to “tradition”? Does “tradition” have a...

Point 1 Romanos, Post #5 on Page 1: “Declining attendance is a huge issue.” A relevant question may well be: Who is leaving – the wheat or the tares? If the tares, is it not a good thing? If the wheat, then where are they going? Are they waking up to the conflict of priorities within their...

This may be a little off-topic, but Pedrito knows not where else to ask. Besides, the question is related to salvation. (He thinks.) IACOBVS lists his status as “God save the Queen!” During Pedrito’s early years in Australia, we used the British national anthem, “God save the Queen”...

In his previous post (Post #47 on Page 5) Pedrito presented information from Roman Catholic (RCC) sources, showing that RCC teaching does include the concept that non-Christians have the chance of salvation, but Protestants do not. However, by way of contrast, it may be interesting to note that...

Lämmchen’s apology (Post #11 on Page 1) is appreciated but unnecessary. Pedrito understands how easy it is to inject thoughts that in retrospect may seem inappropriate in the context. Pedrito has probably done that many times in the past, and will probably repeat the process many times in the...
