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

    They don't have any relationship to your question, since Sonship is a reference to status. However, these verses refer to the different roles of functions within the Trinity. Let me explain. For all eternity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit all have the same status of being equal as fully God...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    We have two eyewitnesses of Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection, Matthew and John. We also have two others who got their information from eyewitnesses, Mark and Luke. Case closed.

    The Truth About Saul

    @JustTheFacts, just because someone leaves out or includes certain words doesn't make it a contradiction at all. The same basic event is being related, not denied, which would be a real contradiction.

    What are anti-Pauline believers missing?

    @JustTheFacts, in what ways do Paul's words contradict the words of Jesus? Please list them, and we then can discuss them.

    Applying Ephesians 5:1 to everyday life...

    @Lucian Hodoboc, it means to imitate the God of the Bible. It takes study of him according to his definitions, teachings, and history in order to know him in your personal trust for Jesus' death and resurrection to enable you to put off the old, sinful nature qualities and put on the new nature...

    Reconciling Predestination and Freewill

    So, you don't believe that Jesus is the just Judge who will come to separate believers from unbelievers, as in Matthew 25:31-46, @Jason_76? Mat 25:31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Mat 25:32 Before him will be...

    Do aliens fit in with Christian beliefs?

    I'm not much on speculation, but I do like science fiction as FICTIONAL human drama!

    Discrepancy between Esther 4:16 and 5:1?

    There is no discrepancy. It's clear from ancient Jewish writings that the Jews considered part of day as a whole day. You're looking at an ancient document through modern eyes.

    What is our responsibility in gaining spiritual growth?

    It seems to me that Ephesians 2:8-10 sheds some light on this subject. God saves by grace through faith, which is his gift. Then, he gives us work to do that he has prepared for us to do. The word translated "workmanship" can be compared to an artist's work of art like a painting that he crafts...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    I'm amening about your post just above my amen, @brightfame52.

    Is Christian theology a science?

    Literally speaking, @just_legalism, theology is the study of God. Since God is non-material, science as the study of the material universe wouldn't compare. The best theology, however, is based on the Bible alone and God's assumptions, history, and teachings in it. Of course, we need to look at...

    What is our responsibility in gaining spiritual growth?

    Yes, you are right that God enables us to grow. However, the other verse by the same Peter has a command for us to grow. You can look at Colossians 3, which says in verse 1 that Jesus' resurrection is the basis for our growth, but the rest of the verses in that whole chapter are a large set of...

    What is our responsibility in gaining spiritual growth?

    God's side in our spiritual growth (Peter's statement): 1Pe 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 1Pe 5:11 To him be the dominion forever and...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    The only "Rapture" I see in Scripture is the one in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, where believers who are alive when Jesus returns are caught up to meet him in the air (verse 17). The passage doesn't say where we go after that amazing experience, but the word translated "meet" has a very specific...

    Christ died for them not appointed to Wrath.

    Rev. 20 does have a context, Rev. 19, at the end of which Jesus comes again on a white horse in judgment and victory. Then, a new vision starts over with the symbolically-complete, not literal, "1,000 years." That's the amillennial interpretation. Your interpretation ignores that previous...

    Is freewill biblical or something we invented as society ?

    At seminary, I heard this explanation of "free will." In the beginning, God created humans to be completely dependent on him for our lives, and he also made us relatively independent of himself. However, when they ate the fruit, they became slaves to Satan choosing everything based on their...

    Predestination

    The first New Testament believers including Paul knew about God's predestination of events. The church prayed in praise that the religious leaders and Romans who crucified Jesus did "whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place," as well as believers' salvation: Act 4:24...

    Predestination

    It's a mystery how the Bible says that God has his plans for everything without being responsible for evil, while at the same time humans have their plans that they along with Satan are fully responsible for their whole lives including evil. The Bible teaches both truths: Gen 50:20 As for you...
