    Forgiveness

    Aren't people remarkable for their inconsistency. One hopes that the forgiveness shown by the three elders, including the husband of the lady who you quoted, is the kind of forgiveness that one can expect from the Lord. Generous, pained by sin, yet open to light and goodness for the sake of the...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    @DanielL had an interesting collection of ideas that he used to construct something that looks like the real historical Pelagianism.

    There is one baptism.

    When scripture has "baptise" and "baptism" in a passage it ought to be the normal and natural reading to take it as a reference to water washing as the sacramental sign of washing away sins and receiving the Holy Spirit because that is how Jesus Christ described the new birth to Nicodemus and...

    There is one baptism.

    Remember, Therefore, go forth and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have ever commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, even to the consummation of the age." Matthew 28:19-20

    There is one baptism.

    Saint Mark says Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. So, the threads on One baptism, Predestination, Truth, and Forgiveness all come together. Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace. One body and one Spirit: to this you have been...

    Predestined

    Instead, Christians ought to spend their time profitably, proclaiming the gospel. Believe! believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved, you and your household. Thus, the gospel is to be preached to all creation, for a witness, and then the end [of the ages] shall come. So, all...

    Truth

    ;) The original post, as you almost guessed, is about Adam and soon after, Eve, before the fall, when Adam was the son of God named in saint Luke's genealogy. And Jesus himself was beginning to be about thirty years old, being (as it was supposed) the son of Joseph, who was of Heli, who was of...

    Forgiveness

    If you will forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father also will forgive you your offenses. Forgive one another. For just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also must you do. Maybe God wants people to forgive one another?

    So, we're agreed that one ought not "waste your life theorising about who can and who cannot believe."?

    Truth

    Do you think that is true? I guess you must because you wrote it and it is stated emphatically. Good manners suggests that God is very likely to owe something to every created being. Self consistency also suggests that God owes his creatures something. But the word "owe" has implications in...

    Complicated long topic title to check to see if you're all awake

    Truth is a mystery, it has to be for one reason which ought to be obvious. So, when truth is revealed in the scriptures and human beings read it or hear it read to them, ought the human beings come away from the experience feeling quite proud of themselves for their industrious, diligent, and...

    Truth

    Long before Moses received the Law, and long before Abraham was call by God, before any book was written, God was God and human beings were his Children. Do you believe this?

    It is my own work, composed in a few minutes. What the heart believes the mouth will speak and the fingers type. It is a natural product, yet a grace from God too.
