    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    Just out of curiosity, where do you draw the line in deciding what in the story of Noah and the flood is true and what is not? What about it never raining before the Flood ... the mist watering the ground. True for the world, or just local? What about the rainbow appearing as a promise from...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    I have no idea why you would want to drag me into this, but since you have, I will respond to just one of your verses and points: 1. This Calvinist would say you misunderstood the point of this verse, it has nothing to do with losing personal faith (or the inability to lose salvation). 2...

    The undisclosed age of “X”

    The opening poster is silent because he finds a visit to the dentist more pleasant and edifying than a conversation with you. Upon awakening to this realization, he has chosen to avoid you and your frequent, repetitive posts as much as possible. Unfortunately for me, the question you raise...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Let’s be honest ... not likely. ;) For that matter, I strongly suspect that IF I could document that none of the half-dozen ‘Households’ mentioned in scripture had any children under the age of 5, you would not stop baptizing babies either. :) In any case, proof of an early date to a belief or...

    Experiment.

    While any attempt to explain the thoughts of another involves conjecture, I can offer a ‘guess’. First, the definition of “cult” most applicable in this case: a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. Evidence for you...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    I have no desire to argue, and I understand that MennoSota can be intense, but I suspect you overestimate our power over the foreknowledge and predestination of the Father, the Blood of the Son and the gift of the Holy Spirit. I do not believe that you have the power to compel God to an action...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    This argument is raised a lot. The preeminence of the Pope is also a consistent witness held by MOST for the first 2100 years of the Faith of Christ. I wonder, for how many centuries of those 1500 years were people who disagreed with Church doctrines burned alive? I think there may have been...

    The Soul Survives Death

    Parables convey a spiritual truth. Arthur believes that you have failed to comprehend the correct spiritual truth conveyed by the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man. Arthur will pray for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, because illuminating God’s word to reveal the truth is His job. :pray:

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Judas is always a hard case to wrap my hands around and come up with a definitive answer from scripture. On the one hand ... [Mar 3:14-15 NASB] 14 And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He [could] send them out to preach, 15 and to have authority to cast out the...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    Kinda, sorta, almost ... if you squint: [1Jo 2:19 NASB] 19 They went out from us, but they were not [really] of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but [they went out,] so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    I did, but found no reference to his murder, let alone his being killed "between the temple and the altar" ... but I did find 2 Chr 24:21, which does talk about the murder of a Zechariah happening "in the court of the house of the LORD". If you had asked about it, we could have discussed it, but...

    Do not take my lack of participation as ignoring it. If I post there, I will likely be a lightning rod for threadcrapping. So I will happily read without posting.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    That makes TWICE you have called me a liar. You are rather free with that accusation. [2Ch 24:17-21 NKJV] 17 Now after the death of Jehoiada the leaders of Judah came and bowed down to the king. And the king listened to them. 18 Therefore they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    2 Thessalonians was written around AD 51-52, so at the time that was written, the Christians to whom it was written had the Old Testament, James (AD 44-49), Galatians (AD 49-50), Mark (AD 50-60), Matthew (AD 50-60) and 1 Thessalonians (AD 51) as the only writings available. The oral tradition...
