    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    I agree, fuddy!

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Then, what does the "immaculate conception" mean? I learned that it was Mary's conception so that Jesus' conception could be pure. Nothing in the Bible indicates that to be the case. You may like praying to Mary, but how can you be sure that she is listening as a human soul in heaven? She is...

    The False White Gospel

    I have not done a word study on the word "poor," but I know that several passages with the word make it mean anyone who has a deeply-felt need for God like a beggar before him, no matter what their material situation is. King David said that he was poor and needy, though he certainly wasn't...

    Can Satan cause physical ailments/disease?

    The Book of Job shows it, but God allows him to go only so far in inflicting believers, including Job. Also, Paul's "thorn in the flesh" was a messenger from Satan, as Paul says, (2Co 12:7) "So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was...

    Is Speaking in Tongues and Gifts of the Spirit still available today?

    The spiritual gifts still reside in true Christians nowadays, but they are God's gifts to them. We can't conjure them up. Tongues are not given to every Christian. Just compare the lists of the gifts in 1 Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4. The gifts like tongues are not mentioned in the...

    Hebrews 11:1

    Our faith by grace is God's gift, not a part of our brain: Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, Eph 2:9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

    Does the Sonship of God have an end, or is it eternal?

    I have never heard that some Pentecostals don't believe in the Trinity. That's a new one to me. Those passages show the roles of the Father and Jesus, not their divine status as equals. When do you think that Jesus' Sonship began? Was it when the Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in Mary's womb...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    According to Paul in Romans 1:18-20, the creation experiences his creative power and divine majesty as their Creator every day but has chosen to ignore or actively or passively rebel against him so that all humans have no excuse before him. It all started with Adam's rebellion and spiraled...

    Here's why the "free will" argument cannot be justified if God is all good

    I suggest, Lucian, that you confine your reasoning within the Bible's limits instead of going beyond it. John Calvin said wisely, "Go as far as the Bible does and then stop." He was right. Your definition of "omnibenevolence" (I've never heard the word) is not the biblical definition that God...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    You say that your faith doesn't produce the results that the Bible says it should. What do you mean? Do you expect to become perfect when you have faith? We don't. What are you referring to in the Bible?

    Predestination

    I'm glad that I could clear up that important distinction.

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Well, the Bible doesn't say anything about purgatory, Mary's birth, that we should pray to her, what the role is for the saints, or other doctrines that Popes have added to the Bible. That's the extra tradition I refer to.

    Crazy Christian Theology

    I have similar experiences every day when I write. I ask God where he wants the next chapter to go, and he pops the directions into my head as I write on my computer! I can't explain the process further than that.

    Crazy Christian Theology

    I will be interested if you would post summaries, because I don't spend a lot of time here. The reason is that God has called me and made me a published author of many books in my retirement from being a pastor, for which he keeps giving me ideas to fulfill in writing books for his honor.

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    No, fuddy, the point is that you don't know for sure who is elect and who isn't, because they may be false Christians or people who will become Christians who will become Christians much latter and actually an elect person like my father, who accepted Jesus at the age of 77. We can share the...

    Redheads in the bible?

    It's Esau or Edom, meaning "red," according to my dim, unreliable memory.

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Please tell me where your write-up about that prophecy is, and I'll examine it. What do you mean that you depend on your visions more than you do theology. The best theology is when it lets Scripture interpret Scripture instead of importing external ideas. That's the kind of theology I have used...

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Please answer my question instead of putting on me the burden of proof. What about the added tradition added to the Bible by the Popes? Did they do that or not? If they did, why?

    Mark 13:10

    I agree with you about the need to have eyewitness testimony to prove Jesus' resurrection. In fact, that's exactly the way God saved me by demonstrating that his rising again was a historical event. The four gospel writers, including Matthew and John as two of the twelve, along with what we know...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    No, they aren't. God teaches us truths through his creation. Do you deny that truth, brightfame52? If you deny that truth, read the first part of Psalm 19. The Word of God is our glasses or contacts to see creation clearly, but God does reveal himself there. The Holy Spirit is very pastoral as...
