    How is this fair????

    Not to disagree with what you've said here, but the sudden replacement of "equality" with "equity" in every school, corporation, public discussion, and so on was done for two reasons-- 1. The average person will think the two terms mean the same thing or else will not even notice the change...

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    Do you mean to tell us that Faith doesn't come by a command of God that the recipient has no part in at all? It's just infused into him unknowingly and then he's automatically saved?? Must be based on that new principle we read about which says that no matter what's in scripture, it doesn't...

    How is this fair????

    Reducing everything to the lowest level at which every last student can operate might be considered egalitarian, but that's not "equity." Not to deliberately hold back the brighter or harder-working students, it isn't. On the other hand, that's the beauty of using a meaningless term like...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Now, there's an argument that's seldom used on a Christian discussion board, can't we all agree? ☺️

    Christianity and capitalism

    Exactly. 'Capitalism' means it's a system driven by free choice and private property rights. The producers giving some or all of their profits to charity like people from other walks of life are encouraged to do as well doesn't compromise or conflict with the economic system that's in operation.

    Why do you think religions were formed?

    I think that's the answer. There is, in almost all peoples, a desire to know such information as the cause of unexplained developments in life, whether there is a higher power of some sort and, usually, if there is a life after death. The speculation about such matters produces a variety of...

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    As for the word offered itself, it may help us to keep in mind that it was Lucian who first introduced the term offered into this discussion (post #4), which meant that the replies had to answer his question by assuming what it was that he meant by that term when he chose it. Afterwords, he...

    Who Are the Two Houses of God's People Per His Word?

    In other words, a version of the idea that's most commonly known as "British Israelism."

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That's ridiculous as an excuse. Had the issue been something deeply mystical, there might be a point to be made, but our very routine discussion dealing with a basic and well-known Christian doctrine is not all that elusive. All of us know the usual interpretations, so the "problem" here lies...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    If the preacher does a poor job of explaining God's word, then it's the fault of the audience, eh? That's an interesting theory, to say the least. Okay, your intentions were good. That wasn't the reason I urged you to present your points more clearly and effectively. Anyway, if you've hit some...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Or...it could be that you haven't been very effective at explaining. Simply filling up a page with text--or posting a one-line "you don't get it" sign-off after you've been asked for a clarification or for a response to some evidence--doesn't actually amount to "explaining."

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

    Unfortunately for this discussion, however, I didn't say that "there is a time and a place for public nudity." That is what YOU said. What I said is that there are very limited times and places for being nude out of necessity. That's NOT me saying that there's a time and a place for "public...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    If only you could explain to everyone here what it is that you don't get. (sigh) I just gave you point-blank evidence of the correct meaning of the matter, straight from Scripture, and all you can offer as a reply is to say that you're not being understood. Why not give your own...

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    No, they're not. To offer is to propose something. To give is to bestow or confer something upon a recipient. That is taken from the same dictionaries that you could access for yourself rather than guessing further. And now we are done with your little game here. 🥱

    John 3?

    Here Jesus was explaining to Nicodemus what he meant when telling him that he must be born again. It wasn't that he must be put back into his mother's womb (which Nicodemus had wondered about) but that the reference was to a SPIRITUAL rebirth (baptism). Here Jesus is addressing an entirely...

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    Is English often difficult for you? If not, I have no explanation for how you could have misread that post of mine unless you simply read it too fast. I certainly did not say "that it is," and I did not use the word given anywhere in my comments there concerning Faith.

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    It isn't. I don't see how I could have been clearer when I answered that in post #8. If they are not convinced--as was your hypothesis--then they do not believe and do not have saving Faith. None of that makes the sacrifice of the Cross null and void or means that the benefits of that...

    How and From Where Does Faith Come

    You asked if the gift is offered. It is. Whether or not it is accepted and acted upon is a different matter. If you want to turn to your other question-- The answer is "no." God does not force saving Faith on anybody, nor does the Bible teach such a thing. But it is Jesus' will that the...

    Mental competency tests

    That seems safe to say. She knows to make her first campaign speech be memorable in some way or other. I just have the hunch that there are plenty of seniors who will take that particular proposal of hers badly, though, and will consider it to be prejudiced since it does not apply to the mental...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    ...and that's probably not terribly unexpected. However, what either of us thinks about that doesn't matter as much as knowing who actually has received the Bible's message correctly. That's why I offered you the words of Holy Scripture that you seemed to have ignored but which teach that...
