    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    So, do you only accept Jesus' words and not the words of the rest of the Bible, which declares it is God's Word?

    Come on, be objective, honest, and admit that Matthew 16:18 is about saint Peter.

    And Revelation 21 says: Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The city it refers to is the new Jerusalem, a symbolic presentation of the church. How do I know? Well, it comes down from heaven with Jesus...

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Specifically, what am I "sadly mistaken" about? I think that you don't understand the "already"'-"not-yet" aspects of the gospel. In Ephesians 1-3, Colossians 1-2, Hebrews 1-11, Romans 1-11, and other letters, the writers describe what God has "already" made happen in principle for us. But in...

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    I agree with you that grace is foundational, but telling people that God decided on applying that grace to eventual believers before creation may confuse and even alienate them from accepting Christ. We can teach them that truth later in education classes. I'm thinking of it from a pastoral...

    Mark 13:10

    Regardless of what you say, Matthew and John were Jesus' direct eyewitnesses; Mark and Luke, ("the beloved physician"--Paul), got their information from the direct eyewitnesses, and Luke also wrote Acts with the information he had collected. I don't know where you got your Nicodemus information...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    Do you think that your reliance on your own analysis and logic in approaching the Bible can ever be wrong? I rely on the Bible's own assumptions and reasoning instead of my own rationality, which I have done for much of the 66 years I've been a Christian during my 82 years. After all, God says...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    So, do you think that there are any true Christians or believers in the Triune God of the Bible outside of Roman Catholicism?

    Paul Chief of Sinners

    Tigger, I collected a two-page summary of all the commands in the New Testament calling real Christians to replace the old-nature qualities in all of us with new-nature ones. Those are laws in the NEW Testament, largely in the latter parts of Paul's letters. However, they address genuine...

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    Protestants are not united outwardly in form, but all true Christians of all groups, including Catholics, are united inwardly and spiritually in one body.

    Limited Revealation

    Kids are clearly sinners; I've seen it in my kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. As babies, they all want their needs satisfied NOW, and they love to be the center of adults' attention. Sin is self-centeredness, and children have to be taught to move from their self-centeredness to...

    Mark 13:10

    The early church said that they were, but regardless who wrote them, they are inspired Scriptures from the eyewitnesses or people who got that information from the eyewitnesses.

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    You can say it's by grace and explain that word without saying that God decided on their salvation before creation. That information should be reserved for later when they are maturing in the faith. It's the meat, not the milk, of the Good News.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yes, your passage is imperative, that is, a command that we cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the process of replacing the old-nature qualities with new-nature ones. We can only do that with the power of Jesus' death and resurrection, primarily through prayer. It is a lifelong process. I know...

    Crazy Christian Theology

    The problem with your approach is that you use a secular model and your own reasoning to discover the truth of the Bible. We need to approach the Bible from its own assumptions, because it is God's Word.

    Limited Revealation

    Babies are sinners too; they love to be the center of adults' attention and demand to have their needs met. Sin is self-centeredness, not just sinful action consciously done.

    Isn't it time for you all to repent of schism?

    The Church is all over the world in various groups who worship and serve the Triune God and look to Jesus' sacrifice for God's forgiveness and Jesus' resurrection for their new life lived for his honor. I include the Roman Catholic Church in that group along with many Protestant groups along...

    Daniel Seventy Sevens

    I agree, but I don't enough about ancient history to know if the prophecy might have been fulfilled then, culminating in Jesus' first coming. I know that many prophecies have both a direct and a deeper fulfillment.

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    So, are you saying that you would bring up the subject of election to an unsaved couple to whom you are presenting the gospel for the first time? It might offend them to know that they might not be among the elect. Why not let the Holy Spirit work and choose whether to save them instead? My...

    Mark 13:10

    Respectfully, I noticed that you didn't give any evidence that Nicodemus actually wrote anything about Jesus. Please don't assume ideas that aren't stated in the Scripture. The tradition of the early church says that Luke wrote both the gospel and Acts.

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    Yes, I have nine old-nature qualities that I pray every day God will change into his new-nature characteristics by the power of Jesus' death and resurrection. Some of them God has given me Jesus' victory to accomplish, but others are God's work in progress.
