    Faith

    Yes. But you have assumed something that is not part of that revelation. You assume that there are some people who were chosen for salvation from before their births, who are the only ones Christ died for, and who cannot fail to be saved, no matter what. None of that is to be found in the...

    How can I believe anything?

    I can appreciate how all of those affected you, but I don't get why the resulting conclusion was not just that THIS PARTICULAR church isn't credible...or reputable. That's what every Catholic and Protestant denomination has said along, and I'm sure you are aware of that. But you felt instead...

    How can I believe anything?

    In other words, you want us to convince you of the truth of Christianity, if that's possible. I had hoped that you had become aware of the untenable nature of Mormonism, and were looking for a Christian church home that was free of all the "add-ons" and changes made to the historic Christian...

    How can I believe anything?

    Hi, "Pin," and welcome back. In a way, your problem is not a lot different from that experienced by anybody thinking of switching between different Christian denominations; on the other hand, Mormonism is almost a different religion, despite what its leaders and most members think. When you...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Nothing in any of those verses supports the idea of Christ's sacrifice having been effective for only some predetermined "elect." More than that, it does support the idea that those who have Faith will be saved...by Faith.

    A 'Eucharistic' revival

    There are a couple of realities in this story to keep in mind. First, the drift--if that's what it is--away from belief in Transubstantiation on the part of Roman Catholics isn't new. It's been developing for decades, and it was years ago that one of the leading polling services reported that...

    Not Happy

    Not necessarily. The people who agreed with Dave on that point consider the credibility of the Bible to be at stake, but that would be true ONLY IF the correct interpretation were denied. But the fact is that we're talking about a rather famous disagreement among Christians as to which...

    Not Happy

    It's interesting how strict literalists count days in a certain way, regardless of how the ancient Hebrews counted them or what they meant by the term, but these are the same literalists who insist that all sorts of more important Biblical matters be understood poetically or figuratively, rather...

    What is the name of the Father?

    Not a problem. My statement was about the name Elohim, not the opinion anybody in particular might have concerning it.

    How often

    You're certainly right about that observation. One sidelight to that trend which I find somewhat amusing in the midst of a more serious problem--the lack of objective newscasting--concerns the need that is felt by some of these channels to SEEM unbiased. Several of them have taken to...

    Why is public nudity condemned by Christians but not by the Bible Christians follow?

    Well, we have already referred you to several such verses and debunked several attempts on your part to make various passages in the Bible be approving of public nudity when, in fact, they do not do that. So, we have no need to revisit all of those earlier posts. The "treasured possession" you...

    Why is public nudity condemned by Christians but not by the Bible Christians follow?

    There appears to be widespread agreement among Bible commentators that this reference was not meant to say that the person was without any clothing at all. Rather, it refers to going about without the person's outer garment and what it represented (prophet's sackcloth or royal robes, for...

    Why is public nudity condemned by Christians but not by the Bible Christians follow?

    I hate to say it, but throwing up all these false narratives and trying to make out that modesty is wrong (or worse) isn't helping a bit. Let's just admit that the rest of us are not going to be persuaded that the Bible is silent on the subject of public nakedness--and therefore can by some...

    What is the name of the Father?

    That term is understood to be referring to the entire Trinity, so that would not be the name of the Father specifically.

    'God is neither male nor female':

    According to what I read, this subject of altering pronouns is a long way from being decided in the Church of England, and the other issue--same-sex unions--has been decided on the basis of allowing a blessing of such unions in church but not actual marriage ceremonies involving such couples.

    Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)

    As concerns the goings-on in New Orleans, yes. However, the day before Ash Wednesday has long been an important event among the historic Christian churches, although not by that particular name (Fat Tuesday). That term only became common throughout the USA in recent years. Previously, and still...

    Why is public nudity condemned by Christians but not by the Bible Christians follow?

    My personal opinion is that it doesn't matter who shows up first. It's the event, the action, that we're talking about and which makes all the difference. You addressed the matter with reference to the Bible, meaning that it's a question of morals and of being naked in public. And as you know...

    How is this fair????

    In principle, that's so, although it could also be "equitable" to refuse to allow taller persons to attend the game at all (so that more short people could be accommodated). The beauty of describing one's actions as being done in the interest of "equity" is that there is no particular...

    Why is public nudity condemned by Christians but not by the Bible Christians follow?

    Not exactly the same issue that you started us off, though, is it? We're supposed to be investigating the matter of going about naked in public; and, more specifically, what the Bible's attitude towards that practice is. How is it that "enjoying the warm sun on [your] naked body" requires you...
