    Sweet and Meek - Until Taking Power

    Some Christian organizations have pursued policies that most of us would consider wrong and abusive of the rights of non-members. That said, it's estimated that the number of people of all sorts killed under Marxist rule in Russia, China, and elsewhere reaches about 100 million. And that's not...

    “In God We Trust”

    I'd think that most churches are capable of doing both. As for any alleged obsession with "politics," you are referring to the kinds of governments and their policies that any people live under. If worshipping and spreading the Gospel, etc. are important (as I believe you would agree), it...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    That statement of yours, however garbled it is, does appear to be saying that the Elect are automatically saved because of a decree of God and they don't even need to know it, let alone respond to it in any way. Is that indeed your position??

    Are we saved by not resisting the Holy Spirit?

    So...does that mean that one of the Elect will just automatically believe in Christ and his work of salvation, etc. simply because of a pre-determined decision on God's part to save this person but not other ones??

    Does Free Will make God out to be a Bully?

    How does acknowledging our need for God or belief in Christ amount to saying uncle??

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    In practice, it appears to be the case that orthodox Calvinists assume they are among the Elect for the reason that they believe Calvin and his speculations concerning salvation. Presumably, these Calvinists cannot know who the Elect are. Still, I've never met a Calvinist churchgoer who feels...

    Does Free Will make God out to be a Bully?

    Apparently, that is how it "seems"-- to you. So what? It doesn't answer the question you yourself put to the forum ("DOES Free Will make God out to be a bully?") The answer is, of course, "no." The Almighty, who deigned to become one of his own creatures in order to effect a reconciliation...

    Are we saved by not resisting the Holy Spirit?

    No, it doesn't. Not only that, but the way you worded your claim here ("any involvement of your will") represents a change from what you posted several times earlier, saying that to reject the doctrines of Limited Atonement, Predestination, or Original Sin means that the person thinks he can...

    Disagreements between Catholics and Protestants

    Hi, Faith. You are certainly not the only one. As I wrote in an earlier response, what you oppose is typical of Confessional Lutherans. By that I mean that it's the prevailing view but not that it's held unanimously. Not at all. It's also worth a mention that theistic evolution, which you...

    How do you deal?

    It's difficult, especially when they imagine that such a reaction will result in putting them ahead in God's sight. But as to your question about how to deal with such people, it probably is best to 1) give a try at explaining where they've miscalculated, but then 2) cut short the "back and...

    The worst President

    I was thinking that, too. But we were talking about Joe's chances of renomination, so I didn't go there. Could be. I guess the question might be whether a determined, concerted plan for merging the USA into some world community dominated by the collectivist values held by many other nations...

    The worst President

    That seems to be a "given." Joe is just about the only person who thinks the party would renominate him, and that includes fans as well as detractors.

    Denominationalism VS nondenominational Churches.

    There is no answer. You don't save yourself; Pelagius didn't save himself. No one can be saved by himself. The entirety of the Bible is the record of what GOD has done for humankind on that account, and it is so for that very reason--that mortals are unable to save themselves. The disagreement...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    What about people who profess to be followers of Christ but, like yourself, have denied almost all the specifics concerning how and why he did what he did and, in fact, who Christ even was?? Do you think Christ died for such persons as those?

    The worst President

    I've heard that also, but it raises the question for me: "What are the criteria for making that ranking?" While Franklin Pierce may well be the "worst" president, he cannot be the most consequential. Biden, on the other hand, has done much more to harm the country.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    He redeemed them, meaning that he died to remove the guilt from all who lived before the Crucifixion when no one could be saved. That action, however, was not a free pass to heaven for everyone irrespective of whether they were/are believers in the Lord, trusting him for their salvation as he...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Yes, it pleases many people to think that everyone is saved, no matter what. It reassures them that they are safe as well, and it makes them like God better. But we don't get to define God for ourselves, and there is no reason to think that we humans are not sinners in the first place. It's...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Apparently it was necessary to go into all that. I would have taken that course if we all had arrived at the facts of the matter. No, you don't. We still have to agree with the Bible, not just what seems logical. However, you may have 'zeroed in' on the main stumbling block that's keeping...

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    ...and so it seems that people who adhere to the traditional beliefs and practices of Christianity, regardless of denomination, are slowly being driven towards a similar point. That is to say, Christianity is under attack from certain "woke" elements in society and may well be seeing the...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    If that were so, why did Jesus constantly admonish his listeners to repent, to follow him, and so forth? By that, I'm not referring to calls for them to respect the people who are in authority, to bury the dead, to care for the poor, and so on, but all of his urgings that concerned their...
