I have been a Christian for longer than I'd like to admit (because my life doesn't really show it), and I've studied questions of serving God for a good while, and you'd think I'd have the answers I need by now, but it could be my pride and arrogance that makes God want to hide the truth from...

My friend, PJW, has RA and suffers daily. I also have a life-threatening illness. I am also offended that God doesn't give me what is promised. When I pray about how to repent, I'm not told how I can be healed. I ask what to do, what not to do, how to repent, etc, and I get nothing. If healing...

"Salvation by faith alone" ("saved" being un-Biblicallly defined as "definitely going to heaven") is often argued, based Romans 3:19 - Romans 5:1; what about Romans 14:23 which teaches that sin has the power to compromise justification (even if temporarily)? Romans 14 23But the one who doubts...

I would like to discuss Baptismal Regeneration here.

@CadyandZoe I will reply here when I get a chance.

After Matthew's abomination of desolation ("if those days hadn't been cut short no flesh would survive"), the end seems imminent. He cites Daniel, who could be interpreted (eschatological interpretation is difficult--I haven't heard a completely satisfying one--some make sense to this or that...

There is a problem on this site that people are constantly posting off-topic. A lot of people listen, and get back in order, when you remind them--how else could we have a discussion--but others do not. I've tried reporting a user but that user does not appear to be being corrected. Is it...

I try to speak out when I feel like people are in danger of being deceived and misled, but that doesn't mean I think those whose beliefs I oppose cannot know God at all--I believe Catholics, Orthodox, Unitarians, Calvinists, Arminians, etc, can all know God... I just want to bring everything...

*I will now prove Jesus was and is a Black Hebrew Israelite from one of the passages which Black Hebrew Israelites love to use to prove the same. Revelation 1 14The hair of His head was white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like a blazing fire. 15His feet were like polished...

God was "Husband" to His People Jeremiah 31:32. Jesus is "Husband" to God's People Revelation 19:7. Jesus is God--only God relates to God's People as "Husband". No one but God has the right to stand in God's place. The place of "Husband" is reserved for God. Objection : "His People" changed...

Time stamp 1:14:14 of I will to keep things cool on my side and not alert Mods to the misbehavior of my interlocutors. After the discussion on the Church as New Eve I had here with @BreadOfLife @theefaith and @JamestheRabbit I called Catholic Apologist Jimmy Akin's Show on the topic... lo and...

A Jewish caller cites a passage in which he notices a glaring issue : Jesus seemingly teaches His return to judge and repay each man according to deeds was near... yet it was 2,000 years ago. Matthew 16 21From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer...

Reading the bolded passages gives a great insight into God's feeling of love for anyone who is experiencing separation from Him (because they have chosen to go away from Him and sin rather than walk in His ways) and what they can expect when they turn away from their sins back to Him and His...

Jesus is the fulfillment of the "Adam" type (as taught in Romans 5 and elsewhere), so the New Eve must be the Church which is "Christ's body" and "Christ's Bride", just as Eve was Adam's body and bride. Not coincidentally, 2 Corinthians 11:3 explicitly teaches the Church corresponds to Eve. Ipso...

(Posted in debate as well.) I have doubts about the definition (redefinition) of what Paul termed "tradition" as put forth by these groups. Premises : 1. Scripture was paramount to Paul's doctrine, and it should be to ours as well. To which authorities did Paul appeal when establishing...

I have doubts about the definition (redefinition) of what Paul termed "tradition" as put forth by these groups. Premises : 1. Which authorities did Paul cite to establish doctrine? I seem to remember "as it is written". Scripture was paramount to Paul's doctrine, and it should be to ours as...

I created this discussion thread for YouTube user "Marcus G"--I met him in the chat section of a debate hosted on "The Gospel Truth" YouTube channel. That said, if anyone else wants to discuss the topic, please, let's discuss.

Edit : My intention here is merely to prove that homosexuality actually is a sin (some people deny that it is), and that we can and should therefore call anyone who claims to be Christian to repentance. I do not deny that a Christian can fall into the sin of homosexuality--that would be...

I don't go off-topic in my threads--I try not to anyway--so here we have a thread just for your little gripe. I don't plan to change your mind only to make an open show of you. I said : Wrangler responded : You then mistakenly tried to correct me : You then corrected your mistake and agreed...

I've debated against the OSASers, and against the Monergists, etc--and I haven't changed my mind, I know they're totally off-base--BUT I know that they know God, and I know that they have prayed for me, and God has permitted me to learn priceless truths from them that have changed my life for...
