    Transubtantiation and Alchemy?

    Transubstantiation is not alchemy. Alchemy is about changing the accidents - that is to say, the properties - of base elements into the accidents of precious noble elements; it was about changing lead into gold and things like that.

    Faith without good works is dead.

    Take the case, my brothers, of someone who has never done a single good act but claims that he has faith. Will that faith save him? If one of the brothers or one of the sisters is in need of clothes and has not enough food to live on, and one of you says to them, 'I wish you well; keep yourself...

    Discussion of a Foundational "Evangelical" Teaching

    Pedrito, in the ESV the word "choose" is used in 64 verses ... I do not know how many verses contain the idea of choosing.

    Faith without good works is dead.

    You say it is impossible to have "dead faith" and holy scripture says the opposite.

    Why has Open Theism become popular?

    Many people choose to believe the gospel and many choose not to. Before they can make a choice they need to hear the gospel. That is the job of Christians. Jesus said "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation." I imagine that you've seen some teenagers who were brought...

    Kavanaugh has an accuser

    It is about sexual assault. That is not ugly politics. It is a crime in many jurisdictions and if reported immediately it can lead to arrest and trial. It is not right to dismiss a claim because there's a political dispute going on.

    Faith without good works is dead.

    Josiah, I did not say that faith is the same thing as good works.

    Salvation

    You are right to say that Jesus is the Messiah (or Christ). And when Jesus started his public ministry saint John the Baptist had already announced his coming and the beginning of the kingdom of God. Mark 1:1-11 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in...

    Kavanaugh has an accuser

    Sworn testimony is evidence. How reliable memory is and how trustworthy a contested claim made by one person against another is a matter of judgement. But where documents and third parties can give additional evidence then it isn't she said vs he said it becomes they said vs what the other/s said.

    Kavanaugh has an accuser

    It is not punishment when you fail to get a job. That's just failure. Specifically failure to qualify or failure to be the best choice available. One way to test character is to ask for truthful answers to questions. Another is to test answers given against facts from other sources. It's fact...

    Kavanaugh has an accuser

    The statute of limitations protects him from punishment under the law. The issue now is one of character and truthfulness. The question that the issue impinges upon is appointment to a life long job as a member of the SCOTUS.

    Insight into a man?

    There's more to his character. An allegation of sexual assault has arisen. It was first raised when his name appeared on Donald Trump's list of potential nominees for the SCOTUS. And it was disclosed to her therapist and husband many years ago, long before Donald nominated to be the republican...

    Free choice is a synonym for free will. Choice and will being essentially the same thing in the locus of conversation.

    Faith without good works is dead.

    Jesus said that following him implied taking up one's cross. Faith is to follow with the cross taken up. The saying weds faith and works.

    Why has Open Theism become popular?

    Yes, all that is true enough, yet your words in the explanation that you gave is very like open theism. You wrote: "Free-will and human choice are not the same thing. I have shown multiple passages where the choices men made were not allowed to take place. God would not approve of their choice...

    Faith without good works is dead.

    However it works (that is, the theory of what comes first, faith or works or if grace comes first and then both faith and works are born as gifts from God), it is the teaching of Christ that faith without works is dead.

    Salvation

    The Lord, Jesus Christ, preached repent and believe in the gospel because the kingdom of God is at hand. He didn't mention the kingdom of Israel. God gave Israel judges to rule over them and when they rejected God as their king and refused to be ruled by judges God let them have a king over...
