    Theology thread.

    I thought that was what the thread was about too - stating doctrine from what is clearly taught in holy scripture. Perhaps that was not the intention?

    Where does faith come from?

    Since faith comes from hearing the message of Jesus Christ (the word of Christ) has the answer to the thread's question been found or do we need more?

    USA Guns, gun control, and rights.

    I wonder if 100% of mass shootings happen with guns and how many of the mass shooters own the guns they use?

    Loving God means ...

    Does loving God mean anything about how you treat other people and how you think about the things you buy what they cost and what consequences there will be if you buy from the cheapest but almost wholly automated supplier?

    Alas for the old days ...

    I remember - when I was a child - the days when train stations had station masters and suburban trains had conductors and security guards as well as a train driver. Hundreds of jobs all gone now. The same was true of buses. They had a driver and a conductor. Now there is just a driver and the...

    Where does faith come from?

    The passages says it is the word of Christ that is to be heard. And since faith comes from hearing it follows that ears hear the word of Christ before the person hearing believes. The person believes after hearing the word of Christ. That is why it is unwise and unbiblical to say that one is...

    Sarah's laughter was mocking laughter.

    Where does faith come from?

    Hearing the message is part of acquiring faith in Jesus Christ. If a person has never heard how will they believe? Romans 10:5-21 Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that 'the person who does these things will live by them.' 6 But the righteousness that comes...

    Okay, you think it is silly. That's fine with me.

    Where does faith come from?

    You think that everybody who is not yet converted to Christ is a "dead man"?

    Interesting response. Maybe it is "holy laughter" and maybe it is not holy but it is laughter.

    Where does faith come from?

    The holy scriptures say that faith comes from what is heard. "Romans 10:17 So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the word of Christ."

    Theology thread.

    Yes the Holy Spirit is God. You said that the Holy Spirit speaks through scripture. I asked you where the holy scriptures say that. So far you haven't posted a passage where that is taught. The passage from Hebrews doesn't read as you quoted it in any of the bibles I checked. What the passage...

    Theology thread.

    You can see I hope that the Spirit is not mentioned in that passage nor is the idea of "speaking through scripture". The passages teaches that holy scripture is produced by God for the benefit of his people.

    Theology thread.

    I am curious, where does the bible say that the Spirit speaks through scripture?

    Theology thread.

    I do not believe that. Holy scripture verfies a great deal and is always pivotal on any matter about which it speaks but holy scripture does not speak about absolutely everything. Some assert that scripture does speak about absolutely everything that is needed for salvation. That's okay if they...

    Theology thread.

    That is true and it is also true that every group will use their denomination's interpretive traditions to arrive at their theological position. That happens with submersion baptism and credo baptism versus pouring water and paedo-baptism. It happens with the real presence. It happens with...

    Theology thread.

    ruling over is the worldly way, ruling by service is the Christian way. Ruling over is demanding others perform tasks as directed. Ruling by service is inviting people to bring their gifts to the common good and use them to benefit all in the places where they are most needed and most useful...
