Mighty "condemning" comment there chief... But of course you do not see it that way, do you? :D All humans are hypocrites; the biggest hypocrite of all is the one who claims to detest hypocrisy.-Peter Wastholm

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church[fn] whom you are to judge? God judges[fn] those outside. “Purge the evil person from among you.” (I Corinthians 5:12-13, ESV) It is not arrogance to point out heresy, neither is it arrogance to judge those inside...

Socratic Ignorance will get you nowhere.... "ever learning and never arriving at truth" as scripture puts it. What you need to do is use Pauline ignorance: " To know nothing save Christ and Him Crucified", from this basis you will arrive at all truth. For in that Single act of the creator dying...

Long time no see @Truman, good to see you back.

Misty, To answer your question, Bad things happen to good people in order to perfect them.... God disciplines those whom he loves, and we are his sons and daughters. So where some see a "bad thing", I see it as the Love of God for me.

Good news and praise God.... A Brother In Christ has has volunteered to donate a Kidney to me, a gift I will never be able to repay. Praise God for Bringing this to fruition, and keep praying for us as we go through this. We are still in the early stages with lots of test yet to do as to...

We're all running in the same race, some make it to the finish line some don't. some win the crown, some don't. Nowadays people hate this because the inclusivity mentality has taken over and the participation trophy. The Biggest error of Protestantism is to say all believers are saints, I say...

Right now that is an open ended question for me.... I do not know one way or the other, neither do I want to teach this one way or the other so as to give an excuse to others that they will have some sort of purgatorial second chance to enter the Kingdom.

? It is just a tool that I use. a link to the KJV and strong's concordance. Like any tool it can be used for good or to murder someone (Think an axe here) If I may interject in this conversation.... I am bored so I will :).... Abiding in the vine is an active thing we as believers must do. I...

Outer darkness, whatever you think that means, is a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth according to scripture. See link: KJV Search Results for "weeping" AND "and" AND "gnashing" (blueletterbible.org)

? Not sure what you are referring to here?

Adam and Eve would have lived forever had they not sinned? Do you believe this? Man was created an eternal being to begin with, Death was introduced by sin, correct? If death and hell are cast into the lake of fire that means to me that there is no more death, even for the wicked who are...

My personal view is that the rejection of the eternal gift of Life offered by Jesus on the cross demands an eternal punishment by a just God. We Know from scripture the beast and the false prophet will burn in hell forever, and these are two men empowered by Satan (The Dragon) in Revelation...

GA, The Apostles received the Spirit When Christ breathed on them in John 20:22, they received the Spirit in fulness at Pentecost. These are two different events in the life of the believer. We see this play out in the writing of Paul as well, particularly in his prayer found in Ephesians...

Until you have experienced the second move of the Spirit in your life, you will continue to deny the existence thereof. when we are Born again we receive an "earnest" of the Spirit, which is literally a down payment, then later in our walk we receive a fulness of the Spirit. When Jesus Speaks of...

The source of division in the church is the carnal mind of man and the pride in man's own understanding. Wisdom that is from God is revelatory and does not come from the mind of man. The Wisdom of God unites. Proverbs 3:5-7 is what we should all come to understand first and foremost. our Own...

What if you are both right and both wrong? Salvation is for all, whomsoever will, thy become the faithful. sainthood is for the elect, chosen by God, and therefore limited.... many are called, few are chosen. We are all on the path to sainthood, some make their calling and election sure, others...

The "old" ones don't have a very good track record either....

And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38 It is amazing to me how you have stretched this verse to mean what you say it does. It says nothing about "Mary consenting to our salvation". All who are believers...

Luke 1:28, "full of Grace" is "highly favored"... she Mary was favored by God thus the recipient of Grace, like all of us who believe and are saved by the Blood of Jesus, not the source of Grace. Christ Jesus is our advocate and sits on the throne of Grace not Mary. The evidence is plain to...
