    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    I don't know of a single Christian church that believes such a notion, which bit of reality should give anyone dealing with this controversy a moment's pause. But of course there are always "lone wolf" Christians who 1) have read the Bible and 2) own a dictionary...so they have figured out what...

    Born again

    I did. And I had addressed the same point in an earlier post. However, I didn't have much hope, either time, that the matter would even then be understood. It looks like I was right about that. Maybe if you would actually identify what it is that you don't understand.... (?)

    Born again

    Those verses don't refer to the same thing I was pointing out, and yet there is no conflict between what Christ had said about being "born again" and the more general concept of what accompanies that step, i.e. us having been given a new start, etc.

    YMCA Trans Policy

    But, but, they still have the right to kill their own children, don't they? :unsure:

    Common Figure of Speech?

    Most Bible scholars seem to feel that the year of Christ's death was AD 33, however, with some opting for the late 20s or AD 30 or AD 31. This theory here, however, has to put it at AD30 in order for the entire explanation outlined in this article to work.

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    Are those purely personal conclusions, Messy; or are they taught in some specific Christian denomination's churches?

    Born again

    Could be, but it's YOUR misunderstanding that we're dealing with here. Christ himself used the words that are under discussion, and he went so far as to define or illustrate his point after Nicodemus failed to understand it, so there's not much room for an "out of left field" alternate...

    Do you agree that there are verses in the Bible that seem to express contradictory ideas?

    To answer your question, "yes," there are verses that "seem" to express contradictory ideas. There are, in fact, many instances of different verses apparently contradicting other ones, but almost without exception this owes to the reader not understanding the meaning of one or the other of the...

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    No one here said that you do. You did however imply that Lamb, a Lutheran, agrees with free will after she had made it abundantly clear that she does not. See here: "But you claim you know the Lutheran views and then bring up Free Will which is NOT Lutheran at all." and yet, you claimed to...

    Born again

    That's interesting. The problem is that it's contrary to what Jesus himself explained that it means. That's poetic, I suppose, but it's not sound theology. ;)

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    Do they also forget everything they had learned earlier while growing in the Lord? That's the issue here when we explain something that's really rather routine and basic for most Christians, whether Catholic or Protestant, and you respond by talking as though you are stunned that anyone could...

    Biden's Classified Documents

    First, remember that the Democrats twice impeached Trump based on "Russiagate" which was a hoax. Then, as far as Biden is concerned, I wanted to answer you by citing something that had already been compiled and published, but when I sought that out, I found a huge number of lists from different...

    Loving or Hateful God?

    That was probably a concession to those people who think that if God is loving, then he must forgive and forget everything evil and everybody doing it, at all times, or else he's not loving. They are most often the people who post this kind of question for discussion, although that wasn't the...

    World Scottish gender bill

    True enough. In their own language, they are "science deniers." But it's interesting how the pet insults and slanted language that they specialize in is beginning to catch up to them. For example, "My body, my choice" and "Reproductive rights." Neither makes sense when compared with the...

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    Your reply couldn't be any clearer, Lamb. The only thing that seems to be standing in the way of you being understood is his unwillingness to take the majority view among Christians for what it is. Right or wrong, there's nothing about the conventional view that's contrary to Scripture or...

    Biden's Classified Documents

    Biden didn't have much choice in the matter. Not after the display of outrage that the White House and its allies made about how unthinkable everything surrounding the Trump documents was supposed to be! "Searchingly endlessly??" On the contrary, the list of impeachable offenses that are...

    Common Figure of Speech?

    Let's first correct your misinterpretation. The same speaker instructs people to "Depart for 3 days" and also to return "on the 3rd day." Their return was not greeted with surprise on the third day and the question asked, "But you were supposed to be gone from here for three days and yet you...

    Biden's Classified Documents

    No. There will be some alibis given to the public and a few Democrats (as you noted) will be critical, but it will not generally be seen as wrongdoing among the leadership of Biden's party and the press corps. What it will most likely do, in his case, is neutralize the contrived outrage that...

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    I'm not positive that I know what you are driving at but, yes, Josiah was saying that Faith in the Biblical sense of the word comes by the Holy Spirit imparting it rather than the individual having chosen it on his own. Among Christians, there's nothing unusual about that answer.

    Common Figure of Speech?

    "And he said unto them, Depart yet for three days, then come again to me. And the people departed ... So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, saying, Come to me again the third day." (1 Kings 12:5 & 12) and also "And he said unto them, Come...
