    Attempts To Regulate Churches

    So there are motives for governments and other bodies to regulate churches. Copilot Capsule: The Act of Uniformity 1558 was a pivotal piece of legislation passed by the Parliament of England in 1559. Its purpose was to standardize prayer...

    Pointing you there now: Jud 1:6 And those angels not having kept their first place, but having deserted their dwelling-place, He has kept in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of a great Day; Mat 25:41 Then He also shall say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you...

    How was it that Jesus was a son of David when Joseph was not his biological father?

    I read somewhere that Jewishness is determined through the female line, so no problem for Jesus being a son of David, as follows: Copilot Capsule: Yes, Mary, the mother of Jesus, is indeed descended from King David. Although her lineage is not...

    Does God : Know everything?

    All I can say to the above is Divine Foreknowledge comes before Divine Predetermination and Human Volition and Divine Intervention, and none of these excludes the other, like the 3 dimensions of space in the dimension of time. Because a plank has length that doesn't cancel out its width or...

    Does God : Know everything?

    Any theologian worth their salt would disagree with that rebuttal. Isa 42:9 Behold, the former things have come to pass, And new things I declare; Before they spring forth I tell you of them." Isa 46:9-10 Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and...

    Does God : Know everything?

    Excerpt from the Exquisite Epistle to the Ephesians: Eph 1:3-14 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, (4) just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Of course, and am more persuaded that Calvinism is contrary to the Truth of Christ, and it is obvious to me that human volition is a predetermined element in the Universe. Joh 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Act 7:51...

    Understanding : Acts 2:38

    Heb 1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, The Book of Hebrews begins by referring to the Old Testament prophets speaking forth God's Will, and the astute reader and listener will contemplate occasions when prophets spoke on God's...
