    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    The question "Why should I let you into my heaven?" is a little bit silly but I suppose that the last judgement may well come down to something a little like that. Jesus taught that everything that was hidden would be revealed and all the secrets would be shouted from the housetops so I think...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    The book from which it comes "Evangelism Explosion" was written by a Presbyterian Minister at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. The method was widely used among Presbyterians.

    The Orthodox also say that saint Andrew the apostle was founding bishop of the see of Byzantium (later to become Constantinople). I am not sure how well founded that story is in history but for Christian people in Istanbul it is a comfort I imagine.

    Our readings for the first Sunday in Advent are: First reading Isaiah 63:16-17,64:1,3-8 © You, Lord, yourself are our Father, ‘Our Redeemer’ is your ancient name. Why, Lord, leave us to stray from your ways and harden our hearts against fearing you? Return, for the sake of your servants, the...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    I know four Presbyterian ministers. One was a close friend and we still keep in contact another was a close friend but age and ill health has made our contact sporadic recently. I was a Presbyterian for many years.

    Define "works"

    Who could gainsay James when he says Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. To do these things from a heart in love with God is what our religion is intended to be about. If...
