    Supernatural experiences

    I doubt that the experience you related was anything other than wish fulfillment coupled with a physical consequence of your posture (as you described it for us). However, this is an interesting subject, so I thank you for raising it with us, and let's see where it goes. :)

    Cremated remains

    It's almost ghoulish, many people would say, although I'm sure that keeping an urn with the ashes close by is a source of comfort for other folks. What I really can't appreciate is the idea of spreading the ashes over the sea or across a golf course or something like that, which is done because...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Fortunately, few Christians misunderstand the point that badly. And you were unable to name even one Christian denomination that teaches such a thing. It is not believed by Christians that they are justified "because of their believing," period. On the contrary, the teaching is that they are...

    The Salvation of Jesus Christ

    and yet the stated purpose of this forum is "discussion"--something you won't engage in. As a result, you don't actually "preach" and your theories aren't provocative.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Well, then name a church that holds the same view as you do. To my knowledge, there isn't any Reformed church body that does, so what entity is left that does so??

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    I'd agree with that, but I was wondering about the reaction of voters who are not already died-in-the-wool Trump supporters.

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    Now we're getting into a lot of guesswork with this topic, though.

    USA What if Donald Trump is indicted by a Democrat prosecutor?

    Because this development is expected in New York in the near future (and might be repeated a number of times in other states as the 2024 election draws closer)... What do you think the effect upon voters in the upcoming primaries and the general election will be? 1. Trump is humiliated and...

    What Would You Do?

    And, by the way, is a self-described "seeker" who rejects books of the Bible permitted by the rules to post on a "Christians Only" thread?

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Well, that's you own conclusion. The verses cited don't agree with it, and the conclusion doesn't follow logically from what's stated in the Scripture(s). So, again, your reader is left to wonder where this unusual POV comes from. Is it what some particular cult teaches, or is it just...

    Stimulus Checks

    And then there's that other relevant expression -- "Buy votes."

    What Would You Do?

    It doesn't, so it's now time for the "ignore" button.

    What Would You Do?

    You have raised a good point. The issue is generally taken to be about political rulers, but that's because other verses address this issue that way, especially in Romans 13. However, a quick survey of a large number of English language versions, with reference to the verse in Hebrews, shows...

    What Would You Do?

    You need to read my post again, if that is your conclusion. 😒

    What Would You Do?

    That verse's advice is clearly not meant as a "blank check," i.e. advice that says to obey the rulers NO MATTER WHAT they demand of you. As we all know, there are many passages in Scripture that teach the difference between moral behavior and immoral, unjust, unGodly behavior. Therefore, the...

    Why Preaching Is Necessary.

    Josiah has posted several long lists. They're already online for our benefit, so let's start there. Posts #8 and #19 of this thread would be good places to start. There's also post #59 of the thread "REDEMPTION/ATONEMENT: Us vs. Them..." which was addessed to you in particular.

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

    But the verses don't say that. As a result, we once again are dealing with Calvinists applying a meaning that they choose to apply. You might just as well insist that "all" stands for all Apostles, all Hebrews, or all people who get baptized. But that aside, how do you rationalize making "the...

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

    Where this discussion has "landed" all of us seems to be this-- 1. Believers in Limited Atonement cite some verses in which the word "many" appears...and they choose to interpret "many" to mean "some." However, the word "many" by definition means an unlimited number. 2. And, at the same time...

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

    We've seen this argument before, but how in the world does "many" or "the many" translate as only some particular, select group ??? Clearly, I'd say, it does not, yet a number of posts have been put up by believers in Calvinist theology presenting that point as being so obviously a reference to...

    Intriguing question, that one. Which state to EXclude? Maybe Illinois. Have you noticed that the Illinois tourism office sponsors TV commercials promoting the state as a tourist destination...yet the best they can say about it is that the state is located in the middle of everything. And it's...
