    Is your faith your own? - Is "the Faith" prescribed by a human institution?

    Ask Jesus. He started it when He said "Not My Will but Thine be done".

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    I'm not reading any further since that wasn't the discussion I entered into. No-one is born saved.

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Don't forget to study why everyone needs to be born again. Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, Gal 3:22 But the Scripture shut up all under sin, so that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. Eph 2:1-3 And He has made you...

    Elect or Not Elect: Why ALL Should Be Alarmed

    Yeah, no-one is born elect, so we have the passed-on elect, the present elect, and the future elect who have yet to receive Christ.

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    The Roman Emperor instrumental in commissioning the first Bibles was Constantine I. Around 331 CE, he requested Eusebius of Caesarea to prepare fifty copies of the sacred Scriptures in Greek. These Bibles were intended for use in the growing number of churches in Constantinople, the newly...

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    A Roman Emperor was involved, as were a number of scholars.

    Is anyone else a Seer?

    Guess what, all the material in the Bible was written before Roman Catholicism became a thing.

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    Accepted. Human error? Maybe. Enemy interference? Quite possible.

    How to Effectively Study and Interpret of the Bible

    Hi @AW Bowman Can you please explain how the title of your thread came to be so poorly worded. Wrong: The Study and Interpret the Bible Right: The Study and Interpretation of the Bible.

    The mark of the Man/beast

    Such an incomprehensible use of the English language. The implication is that those with the mark of the beast are the only ones with access to the Gospel, something easily refuted with Scripture. Rev 12:10-11 And I heard a great voice saying in Heaven, Now has come the salvation and power...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    @Ritajanice Saints are not incapable of sinning, as shown in these verses: Heb 12:5-11 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons, "My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are rebuked by Him; (6) for whom the Lord loves He chastens, and...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    It's not a sin the obey the Lord's teachings and commands. Christians repeatedly sin against me when their fleshly nature rises up, and then I do what the Bible and Jesus says to do. Mat 18:15-17 But if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him...

    OSAS : Gnostic Heresy

    Do you still pray the Lord's Prayer though?

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    That reminds me of a Christian apologetics principle I studied that states their is no common ground between a genuine Christian and a non-Christian. That doesn't mean they have to be at each other's throats but it does mean there is no neutral position for a Bible-believer, a genuine...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    The ban reduces the inevitable Trinitarian arguments that bring forums down. Other forums have regulated how the subject of the Trinity can be discussed. If a site affirms belief in the Trinity in its Statement of Faith those who are non-Trinitarian should respect that when joining and not stir...

    Lucifer the once beautifully arrayed angel... explain please!

    That's "cornflakes theology". Here's the real deal Jud 1:4 For certain men crept in secretly, those having been of old previously written into this condemnation, ungodly ones perverting the grace of our God for unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Here, grab hold: 2Co 11:4 For if, indeed, the one coming proclaims another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you never accepted, you might well endure these . Gal 1:9 As we said before, and now I say...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." I simply don't believe Jesus contradicts what the Bible records of Him. Copilot Quote: Gnosticism emerged in the late 1st century AD among Jewish and early Christian sects. These groups...
