    My voting this time around based on the Bible's principles

    I agree and share all your concerns. Romans 13 is God's command to do what we do legally by obeying the people in authority over us. His command applies to immigrants too.

    Scriptures that Refute Calvinism

    Your first statement about Calvinism only pertains to a small percentage of Calvinists. All people, including you and I, are born on their way to hell when they are born because of the sin of Adam and the rebellion that has infected the whole human race. God lets them have their own rebellious...

    My voting this time around based on the Bible's principles

    I too, like others, would like to know your biblical basis for your statements. I tend to be a-millennial, but I am also pan-millennial--It'll all PAN out!clfh

    The soul of the Holy Spirit lived in Jesus' flesh (Word?)

    God as the Trinity is three Persons but also ONE God. He does everything together (creation, salvation, and sanctification).

    My voting this time around based on the Bible's principles

    I agree, but my children are adults now, so that priority is down the list aways for me.

    Islamic Approach to Textual Criticism

    Paul was basing his observations about armor on the Roman soldiers' armor, to which he was probably attached in his house arrest in Rome when he wrote this letter. You're right in saying that we stand against the devil, but James wrote and commanded us in 4:7b, "Resist the devil" with his...

    Islamic Approach to Textual Criticism

    So, then, how do you respond to Paul's commands in Ephesians 6:10-20? There God through the Apostle tells us to fight in God's army against the devil wearing his armor and using prayer.

    "The world, the flesh and the Devil" should be "the world, the Devil and the flesh"? (priorities?)

    Friend, I don't understand why you think that the order is so important. Our weapons are prayer and the Scriptures to overcome all three evil influences and attacks on us believers through the victory of Jesus' death and resurrection. You seem to think that you know how we will respond to your...

    The soul of the Holy Spirit lived in Jesus' flesh (Word?)

    By saying that God has a soul, you are straying from the Bible's teaching, because God created Adam, breathed into him, and made him a living soul or person. By saying what the Bible does not, your reason puts you outside of the Bible's teachings.

    The soul of the Holy Spirit lived in Jesus' flesh (Word?)

    Please don't stray much from the Bible's own wording about God, because there is a lot of mystery in him that we cannot know, because he is God and we're not.

    Islamic Approach to Textual Criticism

    Amen! Every day, I fight the battle against the devil and the demons and for the spread of God's gospel, church, and kingdom throughout the earth, mainly through God's gift of prayer as well as through my church's commitment to reach out to unbelievers.

    My voting this time around based on the Bible's principles

    I am voting to protect: (1) the human lives attached to women's wombs, (2) the USA from illegally-entered criminals, and (3) the USA from inflation that robs us of God's resources.

    The soul of the Holy Spirit lived in Jesus' flesh (Word?)

    Jesus challenged the Pharisees and Sadducees' bad interpretations of the Scriptures, not the Scriptures themselves, which he helped to inspire. You are on my prayer list for what you request. May God bless you abundantly in your quest for true knowledge solidly based only on God's Word. I...

    Islamic Approach to Textual Criticism

    You're right, but I also see a gathering of the remnant of believers who I pray will mobilize to fight the devil and the demons in their attempts to bring down God's people. My hope is in the God who is all-powerful, all-knowing, present everywhere, and eternal in contrast to the puny power of...

    Islamic Approach to Textual Criticism

    It's sounds like the theological liberalism that the church that I grew up in and joined when I was 12 before God saved me at the age of 16 while attending a Baptist church.

    A Disciplined Probabilistic Approach to Biblical Hermeneutics

    I'm a Calvinist. What do you think I'm "hiding," JohnDB? I'm curious, since you accuse me of hiding something intentionally. Let's discuss each item in a respectful, loving way.

    HE CHOSE US

    What Scripture passage support your thoughts, or are you thinking outside of the Bible, as I suspect?

    HE CHOSE US

    I completely agree, amigo!!

    HE CHOSE US

    I want to know whose words, specifically, are you talking about? I know a lot of Calvinists, being one myself. I have never heard or read such words or thoughts by any of them. I think that you're just setting another "strawman" that you can knock down. Please give the references to your sources...

    Who are "they" within the Christian church, amigo?
