    Justification - Part 2

    Time will tell if it is God who gives self confidence or if it is self deceived human pride or a spirit of deception misleading some people. 1Corinthians 10:1 Let me remind you, brothers and sisters, about our ancestors. All of them were under the cloud and all crossed the sea. 2 All underwent...

    Condensed theology.

    The Nicene Creed is infallible truth but it is not systematic theology nor a condensed version of a systematic theology. It is a baptismal creed with special emphasis on the deity of Christ and the Holy Spirit because of the heresy of Arianism that was abroad in the world around 325 AD onward...

    Salvation

    you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; (Romans 13:11) There's no need to obfuscate the meaning of "salvation". Salvation is what it is and it is not yet complete. It is something we wait for...

    Justification - Part 2

    It is not attempting to say it is simply saying (writing really). The apostle wrote it too. "Everyone, no matter how firmly he thinks he is standing, must be careful he does not fall." (1Cor 10.12) No one is immune from uncertainty nor from the possibility of a fall no matter how self confident...

    Justification - Part 2

    As I said you did not read or did not understand what you read. The latter is more likely given your most recent reply. No one has an infallible personal word from God saying, for example, "Lämmchen, you are absolutely saved without any doubt and without any possibility of being wrong, I the...

    Justification - Part 2

    I wrote "Personal assurance of God's mercy and grace is available to the faithful but it is not guaranteed and those who self confidently proclaim their absolute assurance and its infallible truth are more likely to risk self deception than the humble of spirit who acknowledge that they may be...

    Justification - Part 2

    Brother Arsenios is right to say that the matter is personal and subjective. It is true that a man may say "I believe Lord, help, Lord, my unbelief" as a man who came to the Lord Jesus Christ once said to him. I believe help Lord my unbelief is an appeal to God for help and a good conscience. It...

    Justification - Part 2

    You are right to assert that God revealed the Lord Jesus Christ to hi people and to the whole world through the witness of the apostles and in the holy scriptures and that revelation is public - accessible to all and visible to all - but for a person to assert a personal revelation from God as...

    Regret & repentance

    Your question is never asked in the holy scriptures but the holy scriptures do in fact assert that God does not change - James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning and also...

    Salvation

    When the faithful think of salvation it is well to remember that Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; (Romans 13:11) and if salvation is nearer now than when you first believed...

    Justification - Part 2

    Your answer is "I know because I know!" which is no reason at all it's just an assertion. Self confidant it is but not reasoned and explained. Self confidence is not a virtue ever mentioned as a virtue in the holy scriptures though in the rampant individualism so common in some lands being self...

    Regret & repentance

    The holy scriptures say that God does not change yet human emotions are one of the most changeable aspects of humanity so surely God cannot be both unchanging and subject to the vicissitudes of emotional change that is like human emotional change can he?

    Tax exemption and corruption

    Fewer taxes does not necessarily imply less tax is paid. One single tax that included all the funds raised in sales tax, land tax, income tax, death duties, and all the other taxes that governments levy would be scarily big! It would be The Tax at a rate of about 50% of economic activity...

    Condensed theology.

    Reader's digest used to produce condensed editions of classic works of literature and also condensed editions of popular works of the day which led me to think what would a Reader's Digest condensed edition of a Systematic Theology look like? What would the "essentials" of Christian faith...

    Regret & repentance

    Interesting isn't it that one verse says God regretted and another verse that implies that God does not repent. Of course there are several more verses that say God repented.

    Regret & repentance

    And Samuel did not see Saul any more, until the day of his death. Yet truly, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord regretted that he had appointed him as king over Israel. People know what regret is and the faithful know what repentance is but how can God regret and repent?
