    This generation ...

    The context is worth reading. I have quoted the chapter (Matthew 24) below. I was a little unsure of your intended meaning in the statement What is the ‘ir’ that occurs and when does it occur? my best guess was that the 'ir' was a typo and should be read as 'it' but you can tell me if that is...

    How do you intepret these verses?

    I hope this reply does not seem too self serving because it contains one of my own posts. I agree with the two posts quoted above.

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Brother Arsenios many protestant bible colleges and seminaries spend some time on "character formation" but many do not spend much effort on it.

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    A wholly adequate answer to the thread's question and to nearly every objection is that people are saved or not according to what they do and believe. So you, brother psalms 91 are correct. People make a choice and their choice determines their state after the last judgement and the...

    I've heard that story but I can find no reliable evidence that in the first century AD any such gate existed in Jerusalem's walls. Just where is that gate in Jerusalem? "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." (Matthew...

    Sorry, my post may have been unclear. It was addressing the theology of blame attribution which is an essentially Calvinist preoccupation related to some theological theories within Calvinist systematics; specifically is the fall infralapsarian, supralapsarian, or sublapsarian? The lapsarianism...

    Isn't it a mystery? Something that human beings do not know possibly because human beings do not have all the facts nor the mental capacity to deal with them all even if all the facts were possessed? Why do some folk worry so much about things that God has not revealed anyway?

    Matthew 19:23 Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I say to you: it will be hard for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Yes, believe me: it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for the one who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. It looks like the eye...

    I have not checked the sources because the statement is, in my opinion, observational and obvious. For people creation moves through time. Since the statement is about creation ... Creation has its own goodness and proper perfection, but it did not spring forth complete from the hands of the...

    The contrast between "actual" and "uncreated" is not - as is the case in modern spoken English - a distinction between what is real (actual) and what is ideal (or supernatural, or eternal, etcetera). The words in English mean things that are not what the words mean in theology and especially...

    Restaurant refuses service to Huckabee Sanders

    Interesting isn't it how a baker wins a case allowing discrimination based on a morals issue (he didn't want to spend his artistic efforts on gay couples to make a wedding cake for them) and The Red Hen owner and staff didn't want to spend their artistic efforts feeding Sara Sanders and her...

    I think it will take some time and some effort to properly digest the article, it is for the clergy and likely assumes philosophical studies that I am not so sure I have undertaken. I shall read the rest of the article with care. You may want to do the same. I may write to my bishop for...

    I am beginning to think that the definition from the Catholic Culture web site is not helpful to you so let's bypass it. It is just a definition not an explanation, it seems, that is helpful to you.
