(J.M.;22636) Propitiation means, “the act of appeasing wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; the act of making propitious.” That would mean all of God’s wrath has been appeased, propitiated sins cannot be punished, the only logical conclusion if this passage means what you say...

(J.M.;22330) Thank you for the reply Jake, I appreciate the effort put forth as it allows us to continue this dialog. It's my understanding that nothing can thwart what God wants to do, if they can, God is not sovereign. My last post contained a sprinkling of Scripture that would suggest God...

(J.M.;22039) jm Hi J.M. I have read your reply on predestination. Basically the idea is "He loved and died only for a special group known as "the elect." The idea is that God has predestined some people to be saved; and because this is His "sovereign will," not even they can thwart what He has...

(thesuperjag;22241) I have no need to deny my Saviour. To live without Christ means despair, hopeless, and to die in sins. According to the souls discussion we had, I have also no need to lean on to Roman teaching, especially the whole "purgeatory" teaching. Dead wrong and unbiblical. No souls...

(ps77;22229) Sure, go for it! Paul states, "Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh." Romans 1:3. In other words, Jesus Christ was not just a "replica" or "copy" of humanity. The word "seed" in the original is sperma. Therefore, "It...

(thesuperjag;22226) Their teaching is so wrong. They need to get out of there.Hebrews 4:15 - For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.Jag Thanks Jag, one of my favorite scriptures, if...

(ps77;22224) God did not have to break the DNA genetic link.He could've copied it. I mean, come on. He's God. Did you not think of that?I do not doubt that Jesus was fully man, and fully God at the same time. There is no contradiction of scripture here.Mary had other children, but she had them...

I “stumbled” upon this brief writing:“The teaching of the Immaculate Conception has the appearance of being a teaching sublimely beautiful; but it hides Jesus from our view.So completely does it hide Him, that multitudes have no idea who Jesus is, while they think they know Him.This incorrect...

(kriss;22200) The language in the commandment is very specific it does not mean just killit means to commit murder to lie in wait and plan to kill another. We are also told to follow civil laws you can not make a black and white issue out of killing. The thing that gets so emotional with...

(Dei-Gnostica;22131) Thank you brother, but I don't know if this will be enough. I suspect that we must move ever cautiously closer towards another Crusades. Greetings,Consider the following Quote:“From the statement in Rom. 13:10, that “love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love is...

(Jon-Marc;22191) I was, of course, being a bit facetious when I said, "I certainly hope so." I know that our love doesn't even compare with God's unlimited, unconditional love. Amen, I was convinced there was some irony to "certainly hope so." Just wanted to share, nothing personal brother.Jake

(jkeithbrock;22030) Thank you for the reply. I feel good that I have devoted my life to Christ. I just still feel sometimes that the more I try to be a better person, the worse off things become. The only thing that keeps me sane is that I know Jesus will always be there Thanks for your...

I find it odd that we make "abortion" the supreme test of who is to be voted for, as if the Bible makes the claim that abortion is the supreme sin. The killing of any human life is sin, no matter if even the "secular" government advocates it. And since the government can only make "civil" laws...

(John;21915) "To me, the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the blood-lust of Islamic terrorists," said Robertson, with Giuliani standing beside him. "Our second goal should be the control of massive government waste and crushing federal deficits."...

(goldy;22172) I disagree......Mary brings us to Christ."No Mary, No Jesus" -Mother Teresa of Calcutta Was Mary sinless?Everyone is born, including your children, with a sinful nature. Romans 8:1-4. As the result of the Fall, men and women are by nature spiritually bent. Sin is more...

(goldy;22170) Kriss, please prove that Catholics worship Mary. If you just "assume" we do, please watch what you say. This is a very dangerous way of thinking. As for confession, that's OUR interpretation of those verses. To me, it's very clear. No offense, but I'll take the interpretation...

(Jon-Marc;22134) I certainly hope so. The English language has only one word for "love." But in Greek, the Bible makes a distinction between God's love and human love by using different words. Agape refers to God's unfailing love. Notice Peter's response in the following passage. Peter's...

(thesuperjag;22157) Lots of commentary you have there Jake. Without the soul, can the flesh live? Do you honestly believe that souls are in Hell before Judgement Day before they were judged? The Lake of Fire is where the souls die. It is called the second death. Revelation 20:14, Revelation...

(thesuperjag;22111) I am only saying that God created our souls WAY long before he created our flesh body. As our flesh body will return to the ground, as our soul will return to the Father whom gave it.Jag Hi Jag, I can only stick close to God's word. Again, The Hebrew expression translated...

(goldy;22090) Wow.........so I guess the mother of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and the second person in the Trinity, isn't much value. I would strongly disagree......and there's 1.2 billion people on this planet that would disagree. But I respect your opinion:) It is very evident that God saw...
