    Universal Atonement - Part 2

    What God does is always balanced by what humans do. In other words, God has plans for all humans, whereas their responses to him are always their responsibility. Jesus' death and resurrection were sufficient for everyone to be saved but only efficient in enabling God's own to be saved. I'm sure...

    Feast of trumpets

    It's a mystery to me why you take so much time and effort in sharing a feast for which you admit there is no revealed meaning. Besides, Jesus brought the new form of the covenant that did away with the external form of the laws, including this one (the Book of Hebrews and Colossians 2...

    Problematic verses?

    People tend to set up their reasoning powers as the ultimate test of the truth instead of humbly submitting to the fact that there are mysteries in the Bible that we will never be able to figure out and to which we must submit because God's Word says so--like the Trinity and the divine and human...

    The Holy Trinity and the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ

    Let's face it. Our reasoning cannot fully grasp the huge, divine nature of the 3-in-1 Creator-God of the universe. The Truths of the Trinity and Jesus' full deity and humanity are indeed mysteries to our puny minds. They are taught clearly in the Bible; therefore, I believe them.

    The Apocrypha

    The Apocrypha is interesting, but it's not particularly biblical in relation to the books of the Bible and should not be considered inspired by God.

    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    It makes a huge difference what they're trying to get you to do. If it's to improve your spiritual life according to the Bible's commands, of which there are many even in the New Testament, the Holy Spirit in us enables us to obey with joy. However, if it's not in relation to the Bible, it's not...

    First the Prohibition, Then the Go Ahead

    You're right about the external, national forms of the law, but the principles or main ideas of the laws continue as Christians' guidelines like the need to protect life and avoiding anger (no murder), sex only within marriage and avoiding lust (no adultery), protect the truth (no false...

    First the Prohibition, Then the Go Ahead

    No, he is real "spiritual reality," as I said in my post. Jesus' seven "I am" (Exodus 3 and 4) claims relate those divine truths to physical, literal things and people--for example, a shepherd (Psalm 23), a door to the sheepfold, bread of life, resurrection and life, light of the world, and...

    Limited Revealation

    Unbelievers don't often come with a biblical quality of humility that admits that our reason can't fully grasp the existence and power of the Creator-God of the universe.

    Limited Revealation

    No, Jesus radically turned him around from persecutor to preacher of his Good News.

    Limited Revealation

    Sadly, both unbelief and ridicule go together.

    The curtain of the temple

    Oh, they probably had many shoulders. :p

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

    If the RCC will renounce their additional tradition that they have added alongside Scripture, there could be union, but until then, no way.

    The curtain of the temple

    I read that the veil in Herod's temple was 60 feet high, six feet wide, and six inches thick!

    Sibling Closeness in the bible

    David and Jonathan were very close, though they weren't directly related. A pastor once presented them as a homosexual couple to justify such relationships. But there is not one shred of biblical evidence to even suggest a sexual relationship between them. That pastor read into the verses an...

    Moses wrote Genesis?

    The New Testament confirms that Moses wrote Genesis and the other first four books of the Bible: Mrk_12:19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife, but leaves no child, the man must take the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. Mrk_12:26 And as for...

    What does this mean:

    It means that we don't know for sure absolutely who will be in heaven, because we can't see their hearts; but we can have a little assurance about them and a lot about ourselves, when we see the evidence of God's work in our lives.

    Have you felt that angels have helped you?

    There are many times in my life when God has directly (or indirectly through angels) rescued and protected me. I can't sort out whether or not angels were involved in each instance, but God has acted in them. (Book: What God Has Done: My True, Dramatic God-Biography [Amazon]).

    Predestination

    The Reformed view of the topic of predestination is Bible's view in the following passages: Gen 50:18 His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.” Gen 50:19 But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God? Gen 50:20 As for you...

    Free from the Law, oh blessed condition! I can sin as I please and still have remission.

    That advice was far-from-biblical. Dependence on the Holy Spirit, who gives you his gift of the new birth, through Jesus' victory gives us great incentive and power to WANT to conform our lives to God's will as it is revealed in the Bible instead of leading our own selfish lives.
