    Now, For Something Completely Different

    The room has no screen but there is a panel that a person can stay behind if they do not want to confess face to face. I prefer face to face, naturally I do not know what other people do because it is private and pretty much sound proof :)

    Define "works"

    Good works are meritorious but they do not earn one a place in heaven nor are they the cause for God accounting one as just/righteous. Good works are the life of faith and without them faith is dead - a mere belief that the believer intends never to act upon. Faith and good works are like body...

Out of my west facing windows I see...

    Hard sayings in Hebrews

    It was Hebrews 6:6 that Albert Banes' comments were on. You can post John Gill on that verse if you like - especially the comments he writes about the phrase "to renew them again unto repentance,"

    Define "works"

    Works is doing (saying counts as doing in some circumstances) things. Good works is doing what God calls us to do. Faith is part of the doing, some say doing is part of the faith but that's the same really because I am not speaking about sets and subsets. working and believing are inextricably...

    Hard sayings in Hebrews

    John Piper appears to support charismatic doctrines. I suppose that does not necessarily affect his position on apostasy but it might. I disagree with what you quoted from him. He isn't exegeting the passage he's asserting his view about it's alleged real meaning. Albert Barnes at least took the...

    Hard sayings in Hebrews

    The people in the passage are enlightened, share the Holy Spirit, know the goodness of God, and have tasted the heavenly gift so it looks like they are as saved as anybody on CH but then they fall away and cannot be brought back to repentance. Barnes notes on the bible says Hebrews 6:6 If they...

    Define "works"

    You'd be obeying God - doing something commanded or asked or advised. As, for example, in James 2:21 "Was not our father Abraham justified by means of works, by offering his son Isaac upon the altar?"

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    Jesus answered the objection you're bringing. The objectors were Sadducees. They didn't believe in angels or spirits. They also didn't believe in the resurrection. "He is the God of the living" said Jesus, to make the point that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were not dead in the way that the...
