(graceforums;5000) Romans 9:13-24"Is there unrighteousness with God?" Again, a very surprising question. I take it that it is agreed that all mankind sins and all are culpable and answerable for their own personal sins.

(graceforums;4995) Romans 3:19-20 James 2:10...the better question would be "how can there NOT be guilt?" Very easily, if mankind other than Adam and Eve has no alternative but to sin.

(graceforums;4990) How 'bout I just respond to what you've already stated? I agree. I thought it was quite formidable enough. The fall caused all descendants of Adam to lose the posse non peccare (power not to sin). So how can there be guilt? So do we justify ourselves? Certainly not. What a...

(kriss;4989) the accuracy of the King James Version of the Bible which is based on the Greek "Textus Receptus." Does this mean that the Church of England, which produced the 100% perfect KJV, was 100% perfect?

(graceforums;4982) Summed up briefly you say? Of course. This has yet to turn into an actual debate for you have yet to present a formidable question I don't need to. You have made a 'proposition', and have yet again totally failed to justify it.

(graceforums;4980) Reformed theology is VERY broad. It is possible but I'm not going to be able to rewrite an entire systematic theology It may now be assumed that the particular tenets of Reformed theology, which, as is well known, can be summed up briefly, cannot be defended from Scripture...

(graceforums;4978) Prove what? Prove that the Reformed belief comes from an unadulterated, Sola Scriptura worldview. Or is that not possible?

(graceforums;4976) The Reformed belief comes from an unadulterated, Sola Scriptura worldview. Prove it.

(SwampFox;4963) Pointer, as far as there being any organized church in the middle ages other than the Catholic church, you'd be correct. However, I think you make a huge assumption that cannot be proven in that you believe the church, and more correctly the Protestant Church, did not exist in...

(Pop James;4949) Calvinist proclaim ,more than anything, that salvation is NOT by works Calvinists declare belief in justification by faith because they would have no credibility with Christians, whom they wish to mislead, if they did not.

(Pop James;4778) Scripture must be compared with Scripture to discover the truth of any biblical subject....for example....John 6:37 says "him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out".....on the surface this statement sounds as though anyone can come to Christ....Of course on furthur study...

(SilentFlight;4918) when you go into church do you feel God's presence sort of amplifide? Do you mean when a Christian meets others? I don't think a Christian feels any more the temple of the Spirit at those times, but of course he or she can speak in a way that cannot occur with non-Christians.

(BernieEOD;4904) What you refer to as "The Church" are human institutions. Membership in these institutions of and by its self does not make one a believer. Jesus does not recognise any human institutional boundries. The Protestant Reformation brought a lot of truth to light but the protestant...

(Dad of 3;4812) Here's the "heretical" part: I want to believe more strongly, but the question that plagues me is how could the Bible be 100% correct when the church itself was 100% incorrect? In the Dark and Middle Ages, something like 99% of the population of Europe was illiterate, even in...

(kriss;4857) how could anyone but God know whats in someones heart. The 'someone' knows, and you have told us what is in this person's heart, so there is no problem. you can't use repentance and forgiveness doctrine to understand the whole of God's word. It is not the whole of God's Word that we...

(kriss;4849) If repentance and forgiveness were the only doctrine we were supposed to concern ourselves with why didn't Christ just go out an sin up a storm then just repent and ask forgiveness ? Because that could not have been repentance, and there would have been no forgiveness.

But one cannot say that God limits suffering to what is bearable for all people. He does that for Christians"]Really?? So what happens when we sin? What about the wicked men in history who prospered and continue to prosper? They will receive their promised reward in the hereafter. We are...

(missionsasia;4827) Are you ready to take it a challenge by committing your life during the time of Christmas season . Are you waiting until then, Jacob? Why not do it now?

"]Cain's offering was rejected because he acted wrongly. God told him that he had to act rightly if he was to be accepted. We all act wrongly, and we are all like Cain. We have all wished someone dead, if we have lived very long. If God had a master plan that involved Cain flourishing, why did...
