    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.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    You're right, brightfame52. The amazing thing to me is that he has begun his work in me to give me progress in changing my evil nature into one like him! That process started when I was 16 and is still going on at my age of 82!

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yeah, but I can't understand why he chose some and not many people, but I lay it at his feet, because he hasn't revealed the reason. I'm not better than anyone else.

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    Fuddy, I too have many questions that the Bible doesn't answer, but God wants to humble us to recognize that he's God, and we're not. We can't figure out a lot about God with our puny, human minds. God's gift of humility. for which we need to pray, gives us the ability to submit to the fact that...

    A deeply troubling and awful thing.

    I agree, Lamb, because the first one to believe in our family was my mom. We three boys and Dad were unbelievers until God rescued me at 16, my brothers when they were about 32, and my dad when he was 77 years old!

    Mark 13:10

    Here is some information for your Bible study about Luke from the Bible: Col_4:14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. 2Ti_4:11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry. Phm_1:24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and...

    What do we tell unsaved about biblical election?

    No, it's just that we don't have to tell unsaved people the deeper doctrines while we are calling them to believe in the basic truths dealing directly with their need to accept Jesus' offer of his rescue from their imperfections because of his love for them. I said, "that truth," that is, election.

    Did Christ die for them that are perishing ?

    Yes, the northern kingdom of Israel had "committed adultery" against God by chasing after other gods. Hosea had to picture that situation by marrying a prostitute, who would chase after other men in her sinful rebellion. So, the backsliding is apostasy from God's covenant with them, not from...
