    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    It proves everything. But people have some big dogs in the fight to lose because of it. I haven't anything to lose and all to gain by it. So do what you want with it. I'm fine with it.

    Self-forgiveness is not possible

    I agree. But the truth makes us free. And a lack of truth about our sinfulness keeps us bound. When I first heard the doctrine of Total Depravity I happily said "That's me!" That explains my life. I found great solace in Luther's "Bondage of the Will" which runs along the same lines.

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style.

    Baptism in Jesus’ name, Trinitarian style. The Command: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” Matthew 28:19 (KJV 1900) The Interpretation: “(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized...

    Knock, knock:

    I had a JW elder stop by. He was totally unprepared for a discussion on "free will". I shared several points from Martin Luther's "Bondage of the Will". The elder remained speechless and more frustrated than I have ever seen before. It was overkill, but irrefutable.

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    How about this! of this sacrament, the act of baptism must be expressed, and the matter and form be united to leave no doubt of the meaning of the ceremony. In addition to the necessary word “baptize”, or its equivalent, it is also obligatory to mention the separate persons of the Holy Trinity.

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    Do you believe the Papacy is the Antichrist? All of the Reformed creeds I can think of, including your old Westminster Confession, have it in writing. This would surely show how the Papacy replaced Christ and the Apostles earlier than expected.

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    It remains, who but the Catholics had the power to undercut Christ and the Apostles to the point the whole of Christendom practices the Catholic model? I see it clearly possibly because I want to see it.

    Trouble on the Temple Mount

    Is Ezekiel’s Temple literal or spiritual? Many look for Ezekiel’s temple built of brick and mortar in Jerusalem in the coming days. One of the points for a spiritual understanding instead is that Ezekiel’s measurements are incomplete. The height measurements do not exist except for the two...

    Do you believe in the rapture?

    One of the greatest failures of the pre-trib rapture doctrine is that it needs 3 returns of Christ instead of the 2 scripture speaks of. That is one return before its tribulation. Another is at the end of the tribulation, or the start of the millennium. and another at the end of the world. A...

    YEC compatible with Old Earth?

    What if everything you see in the world around you is God's eternal decree made visible by his creation of time, space and matter? In Hebrews 11:3 the writer says; “By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible.”...

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    I see it as a revelation of the Trinity in Jesus. Interpreted by the Apostles who used His name, Colossians 2:9. But in the second century, the Pope usurped their authority and changed it into today's more popular method. ( Baptism p 263-264 Catholic Encyclopedia).

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    Does not today's practice usurp the Apostles' authority? And violate Jesus' command on how to baptize? I heard the Pope did this in the second century. Up until then, the church went with scripture.

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    Where are they today? Is anyone raising the dead lately? Paul said those speaking in tongues knew what they were saying. But that's not true in the charismatic movement. Why did Paul place all of his helpers on medicine in the Epistles if he still healed the sick then? Etc., etc.

    Trouble on the Temple Mount

    Ezekiel's temple is a symbol of Christ and the Church, AKA God's temple in the NT. Paul preaches this. The measurements are not complete if you study the topic in the bible. Are you saying God just got it wrong? Anyone who deserts Christ and returns to the Law and sacrifices in Hebrews 6 cannot...

    Gifts of the Holy Ghost

    The cult picked up on the discrepancy but didn't understand what Jesus was getting at. Apparently, most churches don't either. I'm a trinitarian but understand Jesus Christ is the NT name of the triune YHWH. Granville Sharp's rule translates other passages this way, that Jesus is YHWH (the...

    Do you believe in the rapture?

    This is long, but I'll donate it to your studies. Daniel said; “And in the days of these kings [Old Roman Empire] shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these...
