    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Your opinion only. Not in the least does trusting in the monumental accomplishment of Christ at Calvary "detract" from its importance or call "the Resurrection of Him a lie." LOL Having Faith necessarily means recognizing the greatest act of love possible--God humbling himself for the sake of...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I took a look, and you tried to be methodical. However, your claim appeared to be only a personal opinion, a possible explanation. For you then to post that somebody who might not agree with your thinking, as though there simply could not be any other meaning...well, that was eye-catching...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    You weren't referring to me there, but I wondered about that conclusion. It took only a few minutes to find all kinds of commentaries online from people who know what they're talking about. For example, there's this commentary (a tiny part of the article on Biblehub.org)-- "The phrase, 'twice...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    If you were an Anglican yourself, you'd probably have understood what that article is saying and what it is not saying. It's not what you think.

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    We'd have to agree on that point, but it isn't really the point. Some are more open to hearing, while others are less so. That much I'd agree to. However, that's not addressing the gravity of the sins that either of them is guilty of. Any falling short of God's standards is sin, and realizing...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    Not sure. A significant percentage, from what I gather from the news media. Because only a tiny amount of that substance can be fatal, and this isn't always known by the user, overdoses must account for many as well. However, that is as much a part of throwing the nation's borders and the laws...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    I disagree. And this is a point that escapes many serious believers. We are part of a fallen race and we have a fallen nature. We are born in sin. We are reconciled to God, who is perfect, only because of the sacrifice of the Son of God on the Cross that can be applied to us. Even the best of...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    I don't believe that Pharoah was saved, or the Pharisees either. That's because none of them believed in the Lord (as we all know is the case). So what's the point? Is it that these people were too evil to be saved? If so, most or all of the rest of us are too evil as well; it's just a matter...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Yes, but this doesn't change anything. The POV of the radical Calvinists is that the Savior did what he did for only a select few. You have pointed out that only those who believe are saved, as though these two ideas essentially add up to the same thing. They do not. If and when everyone is...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    I've noticed that "L" people and defenders of the idea that Christ died only for the few choose verses from the Old Testament in order to bolster their case, while those who advocate for the idea that Christ died in order to give the whole of mankind the possibility of eternal life, usually...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    Could be. However, as soon as marijuana is generally accepted and legal (and we're almost there now), that will be the moment when those who campaigned for legalized MJ will begin campaigning for legalized cocaine and heroin, and then that there be no restraints on any dangerous drug. It's...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Oh, I'm sure there are some. ;) Such as most of the Christian world and most of the Christian churches. Remember that the other side of the issue is actually an extreme theory as well as being relatively new in church history. But that aside, I'm interested in what you wrote about the logic...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Hard to find anything about whom Christ died for? Really? He died for all. There are all sorts of verses that testify to this. And how much sense would it make for God to engage in such a unique and monumental act as Him becoming one of his own creatures...only so that he could testify to...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Thinking of the article we were linked to, what's the likelihood of one person, on his own, coming up with the 'correct' and 'oh-so-simple' meaning of several words of Scripture that somehow fooled the mass of theologians and linguists that studied the same material during the course of 2000...

    REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Yeh, most of us have belonged to a variety of different churches. Beyond that, there's nothing in your post that changes anything that's already been presented.

    Exodus, Egyptology

    We all agree that Exodus recounts the event. Is that all you wanted to know? We thought that you wanted to know when it happened. There is no "accepted date." The year 1446 is one of the more popular ones, though.

    Exodus, Egyptology

    With WHAT that's from the Bible? Chapter and verse, please. Let's use a comparison in order to illustrate the problem with this stuff-- When was Christ crucified? Does the Bible agree with that? Well, some Christian researchers will say it was in AD 29. Others have said it was in AD 30...

    Exodus, Egyptology

    Yes. And as your quick Google search showed, there is not even an agreed-upon controversy, as though there's an either-or argument between two different theories. There are, in fact, a number of different guesses that have been advanced by different researchers for different reasons.

    Exodus, Egyptology

    No one knows. There are only educated guesses, based largely upon little snippets of information (that I called "hints") found in the Bible account. The guesses range widely. And others put it as far back as the 16th or even 17th century, so the span of time of the estimates given by only the...

    Exodus, Egyptology

    Let's try again. There is no "LCMS perspective" on this issue. The LCMS's position is that there was an Exodus as described in the Bible, not including when it exactly occurred. Which Egyptologists have dated the Exodus, and what date did each give? What indicates that this could be the...
