    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Do you mean this ... I am not sure what it is about this that offends folk. Saint Paul spoke of his suffering completing what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ: Colossians 1:24 RSV Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    Since healing gifts are gifts of God's grace towards undeserving yet suffering human beings they can never be a cause of pride in one's self or a reason to boast of one's own faith.

    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    The scriptures ought to be read for the instruction of the faithful - teaching them how to live their own life in all godliness and in peace with others and God. The scriptures ought not to be a weapon to hit and hurt others through the harsh judgemental acts of the faithful towards others.

    The Official Chat Thread

    I had some yummy chicken, pasta, potatoes, carrot, and onion all nicely seasoned and herbed ... I wish herbed was a real word, the past tense verb form of herb :)

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Who is in this 'movement', for example, who is its leader and how do you know that this person or group of persons are its leaders? In fact what is this 'movement'? What do they want to have adopted as doctrine or dogma?

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    It is possible that everything is necessary and nothing is sufficient. It might just be that grace and grace alone will bring the faithful home to God.

    Once saved always saved?

    And it is interesting to see such certainty about somebody else expressed in your posts a certainty as certain as your own certainty about yourself.

    Once saved always saved?

    I wondered that too when you posted "Then he obvious was not born again. Or the Good Shepherd dropped the ball on this one. Or the Father stopped loving His child."

    For the same sorts of reasons that you assume that you're saved and not just religious.

    Once saved always saved?

    Then my friend who was an evangelical and is now an atheist is still saved because he was redeemed according to the promises of God and consequently he was a sheep who the Lord Jesus Christ doesn't lose. A most reassuring message ... were it true.

    Once saved always saved?

    I never miss that point; the Lord Jesus Christ is without doubt the good shepherd and the Father without doubt always keeps his promises. That is a given that we both accept in faith. What I am wondering is how folk like my friend can be so mistaken about their faith and folk like you can be so...

    Once saved always saved?

    And if he at some time in the future returns to the faith that he used to confess as his own would that mean that he really was born again back then and merely has backslided for a time now? He says he really did believe the gospel, and he knows exactly what are the main points of the gospel...

    Once saved always saved?

    He believed what the Westminster Confession of Faith summarises of the faith described in the bible; he was rather devout and very active in the Presbyterian church of which we were both members. But I see your point; neither you nor I can know exactly what he believed apart from what he said he...

    Does that mean that my friend only thought he was saved but didn't know it because when he was an evangelical he said he was saved. Was he wrong?
