Hi Letsgofishing,1) Gen 3:15 Does not have any connection to Mary being born without sin. It speaks of Eve and her sin and the consequences of that sin. God will put enmity between Satan and Eve and "...between your (Satan's) offspring and her (Eve's) offspring (Jesus). He shall bruise your...

Hi Two,Please note the difference between judging and discerning. We are to KNOW God's word correctly. That takes time and study and a life yielded to the Holy Spirit who teaches us the meaning of Scripture.2 Tim:2:15 -- Here we have God's command to discern truth from falsehood, "Do your best...

Gen. 3:15 The seed that will crush Satan's head is not Mary.The seed is Jesus!waynemlj

Hi Letsgofishing, I have spent over 55 years in the Catholic Church, so I know it from the inside out. I stopped attending that denomination a dozen years ago because I could no longer endure their mixture of truth and falsehoods.Some thoughts for you about your Catholic denomination:(First I...

Hi Alanforchrist,No, it is not man who chooses at all. God does the choosing. Jesus said, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day." That "drawing to Jesus" is the regeneration of your heart (by the Holy Spirit) to believe the truth...

Hi JonJT,You have already said in your post that you believe that faith in Jesus and His death (and resurrection) is the way to heaven. You could not have believed this unless you were first Born Again by the Holy Spirit as Jesus explained to Nicodemus in John 3:3. And in John 3:14 Jesus...

Hi Kalixx,The argument doesn't "empirically" prove the existence of God. It logically proves the eternal existence of a Being who is transcendent -- of a much higher order than we are, infinitely higher -- because this Being is SELF-EXISTENT. He does not begin or end, is above and outside of...

Hi EK Pyros,I listen to Dr. Sproul's teachings every morning on the Internet, have several of his books, and am a partner in his ministry.I am very glad to know that you have followed his teachings and seem to know them well. So then, you can see where I'm going with my philosophical approach to...

Hi Wayne,I like the weight of empirical evidence you put together in your reply.Thank you for your response!A point I wish to make, though, is that many scientists, physicists, and other highly educated men have seen all this and seen it all in more detail than you and I have. Yet, they are...

Hi Kalixx,it looks like you understand the Gospel.There is one more very, very important aspect to our salvaton experience.Even after we believe (are born again), we are not instantly made perfect, made sinless. Sin still exists in us.However, the Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit is the...

Hi Kalixx,I think that Siskim did an excellent job to give you a very detailed explanation of God's plan of Salvation through the sending of His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to become a man and obey the Father always (no sin in Him, like there is in you and me) and to die a horrible death on that...

(kalixx;35158) I am interested to hear what you mean by "The Traditions of Men". Could you give some specific example(s)? It would to evaluate how serious these are in undermining what the church is otherwise doing OK.I think church is more than simply what happens in the Sunday service...

(Job one;35444) An interesting question to say the least. However, I thing it important do view the difference between Christ dying for all mankind and that of the atonement.Christ indeed died for all mankind. He provided the gift of the resurrection for all mankind. Both believer and non...

Some denominations teach that Chriist died for the whole world. Others claim that He died for only those who were the Elect of God from before the foundation of the world.1) One Sripture that shows that Christ died only for those chosen by the Father for Salvation is found in John 17:8-9...

Can you prove the existence of God without referring to the Bible?Of course, it's easy through simple logic. Could there ever have been a time when there was nothing . . . ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?If you answer this question correctly, you have a solid premise to begin a proof for the existence of...

Hi Mikey,I will certainly pray for your friend and his family today.May the God of all comfort be with all of you!waynemlj

Would you attend a local church that teaches the Bible for its core but mixes in a large amount of "The Tradtions of Men.' I have not found a local denomination in my area that I can feel comfortable with because there are ways in which they all depart from the Truth of God's Word.Yet Hebrews...

Hi Kimshi42,Do you believe and follow the Word of God?I see in Leviticus 19:28 the following command of God, "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord. "Is there any doubt about that meaning in your mind?It seems clear and straightforward to me...
