    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Your message made me think of other such preachers, and it's understandable why the churches are concerned at a Christian becoming too much a fan of any 'one-man band' like many of these guys are who are free from any oversight, publish books, appeal for funds, maybe start their own TV network...

    Advice about my wife

    Is there any reason to think she doesn't understand it? I thought I could see where both parties are coming from just from reading the first post here. My friend, it sure seems that way. I only have a few posts to go by when saying that, but the way you described her feelings definitely seemed...

    Advice about my wife

    So far as focusing in on the heart of the matter, you may have hit the nail right on the head there. But if so, my own feeling still is that you are unrealistic if you think that that scenario has much of a chance of genuine success, of resolving the disagreements. You said: "Her feelings are...

    First, I don't think it's a "blanket statement." The difference between foreknowledge and foreordination is rather specific. As for why I raised it, I have noticed in a number of your posts that in some way deal with this topic that you appear to treat the one as if it were the other...and this...

    Advice about my wife

    Right. The message as written here made it seem that way--or at least in a way that any observer might take it, your wife included. Yes. It was. However, getting a resolution of the problem you are facing seems to me probably to require you and us here to know and appreciate where your wife is...

    Advice about my wife

    Okay. I think I owe you an answer, even if it's only a beginning. To me, the idea that she should accompany you to church services because doing so will "show that we are one in Christ and to shine forth the light of the Lord" seems like a weak proposition. (But it may depend on the doctrines...

    Advice about my wife

    Hello, XELOSI. My reaction isn't going to help much. but maybe it should be gotten out of the way before the discussion really gets going. It seemed to me, reading your post, that you described things in a clear enough way, but I still wound up not knowing where to start with an answer because...

    Original Sin

    That sounds like what option 2 was getting at. I don't know if it's worth any further explanation on your part, but that was my reaction.

    Exactly what in the following replies that you posted, is there something that amounts to you "discussing" anything?--

    But in several of your replies you already refused to discuss it, and the Bible verse doesn't say what you claimed it says about Adam being required by God to sin, etc.

    However, Ephesians 3 doesn't say any such thing. Read the whole passage. "7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. 8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles...

    In that case, online discussion boards dealing with religious matters wouldn't be your thing, would they? Not only don't you want to discuss the issues there or care if readers are persuaded by what you post, but now you're saying that you don't have the ability anyway. Have you given any...

    Except that you didn't. The problem here appears to be caused by your inability to differentiate between foreknowledge and foreordination. That's something that most students of the Bible learned early on. Now this is a different matter, although I suspect that you think you've explained what...

    Original Sin

    It's helpful to keep in mind that sin, by definition, isn't an item like a pencil or a cough or murder. Some acts, like the last one mentioned in that statement, would be singular, it's true, but sin also is a condition. Pastors and theologians speak of being "in sin," which hints at the fuller...

    If it were there, you'd have pointed all readers to it--just as you normally do. In other words, every theory you come up with that isn't in accord with the Bible can be justified by saying, "But God sees it." Well, if "God sees it," and it matters to us (which this one dealing with the...

    Try finding that in Scripture! :LOL:

    Happy Easter - He is risen!

    Eggs were first associated with Easter because they represent new life, which is appropriate to the religious meaning of the day.

    Obviously not, or else you are using the word in a non-religious sense.

    Most Christians, of whatever denomination, are aware that God created Adam good. That neither proves or disproves that Adam was given Free Will. However, God also gave Adam a choice in the garden, and Adam chose to defy God's explicit instructions. None of that accords with the notion that...
