    Divine hiddenness

    "If God exists" it starts out with. Well, a person that has been born again doesn't just believe that God exists, they know God exists. So presumably the person that wrote this original post does not know if God exists or not. I think it is perfectly fair to say in response that such a person...

    What are some examples of blasphemy?

    I think one could be taking God's name in vain which is a form of swearing. And so cussing and swearing is therefore a form of blasphemy. The Bible has a lot to say about an uncontrolled tongue and swearing and it isn't for it.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    I think you could have missed the import of the usage of the word "saviour". If you aren't saved from hell then what are you saved from?

    It's never wrong to pray for children

    Atheists are people that have prayed to God and not got any answer. This does not cancel out a person praying to God and getting an answer. Saying that prayer does nothing to change events on earth is claiming to be omniscient. It is knowing more than can be known by the mortal human mind.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    How can God be a saviour of people that go to hell? That's always the issue when this subject comes up. If 1 Tim.4:10 teaches universalism then it clearly contradicts the rest of the Bible. All the quotes you gave except Timothy do not use the word "all" to refer to every single human being...

    Junk Foods

    Lamb doner kebab meat. Awful stuff but very tasty.

    Do we only use 90% of our brains?Yes or no?:)

    That's an old idea from psychology. It has been disputed. The main point is that we probably don't utilise the full potential of our brains as we perhaps could.

    Hebrews 10:26-27 - is there no sacrifice post-repentance or is it a lifestyle thing?

    The turning away probably refers to apostasy which means completely giving up your faith and becoming an atheist or something like that. That such persons have had some experience of God and been given the Holy Spirit is implied in the text in Hebrews which means if that person turns away from...

    Does Satan know who is his?

    Jesus said satan was inside of Peter when he rebuked him for interfering in his plan to be crucified. But this does not mean literal demon possession of Peter. It is a reference to the evil tendency inside of the human mind that is aligned with evil schemes. It is completely...

    Does Satan know who is his?

    Paul calls the elect the same as saved, salvation, regeneration, born again, renewed in mind, etc, who are people with the Holy Spirit of God inside of them and they have been changed. There is no difference between the elect and the saved. And as I said before, is' impossible to NOT know you...

    Does Satan know who is his?

    If a person is actually and truly born again it is impossible for them not to know it.

    When The penny drops.

    I'm not Lutheran and I don't believe water baptism is salvific. It's just H2O. I've read a lot about this subject. I don't believe in confession to priests. The Bible doesn't teach that. It does say that you can confess to others at church. I get fed by the Word at home as well as I would at...

    When The penny drops.

    I did think baptism was important because shortly after I was saved I had a strange dream where I was going to a church to get baptised and I woke up hearing some interesting words that were Biblical in nature, including a particular word I did not know at that time. When I looked it up later I...

    Tough Love or Help?

    Maybe some people DO learn and they decide to do the wrong thing regardless. There are evil people out there that do know they have done something against their conscience and they choose to continue to do it later on which sears their conscience. Does that mean when they are hard to...

    When The penny drops.

    Oh by the way, I'm not a Christian Science guy. Remember, that's like grape nuts. They aren't grapes and they aren't nuts. (I hope you catch the reference there). I do believe miracles still happen like healings. There's too much evidence for that to deny it. Besides, being born again is a...

    Proof of God For Science Types

    Hello. Do you have any reasons for thinking there are some people here that are atheists pretending to be Christians? I haven't been here long but I have seen that kind of behaviour on the internet before where atheists do indeed masquerade as Christians. For example, no Christian will bring...

    When The penny drops.

    I've checked out most of the Churches near to me and none of them fit. I live in London too, so "go figure". They are all compromised in one way or another. And I'm not lying or joking. Fortunately my salvation doesn't depend upon attending a church or getting baptised but I would like to go...

    When The penny drops.

    Yes. But I think the case for grace rather than free will is supported by a greater number of scriptures. That's why I said I was basically Reformed but more "loosely". I'm willing to admit that God works salvation in people in different ways because I don't want to put God in a box, as you said.

    When The penny drops.

    In terms of theology, this is free will versus determinism, or more classically put, predestination. It is clear to everybody with a functioning sane mind that the Bible obviously uses the word predestination which has nothing to do with Gnosticism. And that there are millions of Christians...

    When The penny drops.

    I don't see people straddling both sides of the fence at the same time because they prefer comfort over discomfort, which is what cognitive dissonance does to people. Everybody is subject to it, and especially in Bible reading comprehension. If you have a theological "script" I would suggest...
