    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    My point was the concept 'before' is meaningless coming from an Eternal Being. He is using speech which condescends to us finite beings. The expression 'before' is an anthropomorphism

    The Day Amazon Murdered History by Castle Hill Publishers

    Personal experience mixed with a grain of poetic license. Mr. Nelms (a childhood acquaintance) typified much of America's attitude in the 1950s (shortly after the war) having been infected with Nazi propaganda. Little Johnny N. has grown up today where they call him Mr. N.

    The Day Amazon Murdered History by Castle Hill Publishers

    It's because of this, I will continue my support of Amazon. I met Mr. Nelms in elementary school, he never met a Jew he didn't curse, he says we had all been misled because 'Hitler loved the children' ...unless their last name ended in -berg or -mann.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    It’s hard, if not impossible, to attach a ‘time’ to the activity of an Eternal Being. an example… Ephesians 1:11 In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, Or, How can we say the...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    I don't care to jump into that can of worms; not being RCC, I would obviously disagree with the continuation of the Canon.

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    Natch, I expected push-back from you. Paul was met with much opposition but it didn't stop him. Speaking forth God's Word is part of teaching as laid out in the Great Commission and gives direction to the sheep. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    Yesterday's sown seeds are bringing forth todays thorns. Actually, attack on God's Word has been going on since the beginning. If Christian leaders would speak forth God's Word, we wouldn't have to compromise on sociological issues.

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    Which essentially is the same. If you don't separate, you compromise and end up with a scant statement of faith. But the real attack hasn't been on SOFs but rather on God's Word itself, mainly through the higher critical movement, which affects doctrine and biblical authority. The schism...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    Or it (2 paragraph statement of faith) is what's left after all the 'in-house' battles that ended up in compromise.

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    I named those two because they are the ones I've had direct experiences with. and they claim to be 'confessional'. (Maybe I'm living in the past?). As someone said most non denominational/evangelical churches have about a 2 paragraph 'statement of faith'.

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    I may be wrong and don't know their true motives for changing the name, but it strikes me as compromise and not wanting to offend for the sake of numbers. This goes hand in hand with the dumbing down of doctrine we see today. An old saying, 'I may not agree with your position but at least I...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    It used to be, that when a prospective sought membership in a Reformed or Lutheran Church, not only were they asked if they agreed with the by-laws of the local church they were seeking membership in, but we're expected to be familiar with their articles of faith their Church or synod held to,so...

    How do you learn what your denomination believes?

    Being a denomination, I would imagine they have a specific summary (Confession of Faith) of what they confess, teach and believe. I was speaking anecdotally and from experience (but no experience in a Methodist Church) where, for example we would visit a Dutch Reformed, and the first question...
