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

    So we've made progress, Josiah. We have learned that our friend isn't acquainted with the Roman Catholic, the Anglican, OR the Lutheran statements of belief.

    Exodus, Egyptology

    The uncertainty exists because the Bible gives us hints but doesn't pinpoint the time, so students of the matter (Egyptologists, historians, theologians, whatever) can only guess, usually depending on which hint any of them think is most important.

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

    Let's see if you are able to follow this: You wrote: I replied to that admission on your part about being ignorant concerning the Confessions. What I said was this: It doesn't matter that you don't know what they (the Confessions) say. Get it? That's because the two matters you...

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

    Well, no. Rome insists that it is Faith and Good Works together. In fact, some in the leadership of the Roman Church have lately made the argument that the proper understanding of this matter should include Good Works Alone (w0w!) when circumstances make knowing the Faith unlikely. and it...

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    ...and also, that he's one person who accomplishes that feat. On the other hand, Pride is not a virtue but is one of the seven deadly sins, isn't it? "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: 'God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble' " (James 4:6)

    Round 587 of the Is the L of Tulip godly or demonic?

    That's true, and it certainly shows us that if it were the case that mortals are saved because "they've been good" hardly anyone could be saved. The reality is that everyone succumbs to the temptation to sin, some more often than others, and some do so in more grievous ways than their...

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

    Two things. 'Faith Alone' is not a magic phrase. The CONCEPT is what we're talking about, and secondly, there is no way to deny that these statements (below) do affirm Justification by Faith to the exclusion of some alternate: Clement: “Similarly we also, who by His will have been called in...

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    ...which doesn't have anything to do with what we were discussing or that my post was addressing. Perhaps you overlooked the reference to "Abraham's Bosom" (the "Abode of the righteous dead"). Check it out.

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    No one who came before Christ was sinless. If they had been sinless, they'd have been in heaven while Christ was on Earth, but we know from the Bible that the heroes of the Old Testament, like Moses and Abraham, were NOT in heaven until Christ's sacrifice was accomplished. All the "occupants" of...

    The Big Extraction

    Right. It's a vision. And that doesn't mean it's false or mythical or merely symbolic of something or other, but its contents are certainly not meant to be taken literally. John himself starts the book off my pointing out that it's what he saw. Get it? It's a vision, and how we and he...

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

    I did suspect that you'd wind up saying that the evidence you requested added up to whatever it was that you wanted to believe all along, BUT STILL, there are other readers and most of them might benefit from the answer. You asked for "a few" quotes, so that's what I gave you. All of those...

    The Big Extraction

    Bear in mind that the book (Revelation) is a vision, not something whose details are meant to be taken literally, nor does John himself present it to the reader as something meant to be believed word for word.

    so I know this forum is new but what do you like about it

    Uh, you already have chosen to raise those issues...and not in a noticeably "unnegative" way. ;) For one thing, the question asked what was right about CH, not what was lacking. Anyhow, this doesn't appear to be worth any further discussion or action. Don't worry,

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

    Clement: “Similarly we also, who by His will have been called in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, or our own wisdom or understanding or godliness, nor by such deeds as we have done in holiness of heart, but by that faith through which Almighty God has justified all men since the...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    But what do you take to be the meaning of this in particular...? **an apparent reference to something (?) existing prior to a person's birth in sin.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I think that needs some clarification.

    Put a Hater on "Ignore" Day.

    Don't know. It seems like a long time ago now when those posts were created, but as I recall it now, what you are referring to was written "tongue in cheek."

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    He's obviously not saying that, since everyone here believes that it is important for us as believers to do our best to live transformed lives. The issue is whether or not anyone is able to do that. If there were such a person, he wouldn't need Jesus as a Savior since, by keeping God's laws...
