    Our Moral God

    I only meant the word logic is grossly insufficient. I think when introducing God as in " In the beginning was the Logos, the Logos was with God and the logos was God" is a profound, deep, meaning. The glory and majesty, the omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience is expressed on logos. We...

    Our Moral God

    No, there were too many heated discussions. There are non-Trinitarians ( JW's, Unitaritarians) trying to argue their beliefs while the Trinitarians won't have it. 97% of Christianity are Trinitarians so the 3% have to make a loud noise to be noticed.(Aunty Jane is a JW btw). People were getting...

    Am I the only one on the planet who understands Romans 7?

    This wasn't a letter to the Jews. It's called Romans. I am sure there were some Jews there, but by now, 30 years after Jesus death and resurrection, people were familiar with why he died, what the Law was, from which we learn what sin is. Here is a much better commentary on the gist of Romans...

    Who can believe this?

    Applicable to non-Christians. Non- Christians, all false religions, atheists. God sends a strong delusion to people who are not His sheep. Non- Christians God reveals the truth to His sheep. Everyone else is blind. I agree, this is not true. The Middle East is already warring and will...

    Is God Moral?

    @Logikos It doesn't seem like you are getting any traction on your other related thread, "Our Moral God", so I will ask you on this one, Why would you use any knowledge and quotes from an atheist ( Mr. Ayn Rand) to write a " thesis" to describe any aspect of God's nature? There is plenty...

    Our Moral God

    Why would you use any knowledge and quotes from an atheist ( Mr. Ayn Rand) to write a " thesis" to describe any aspect of God's nature? And yes, it is offensive to refer to Jesus as merely logic. Logos is Jesus, Who is the exact "expression" of God. So He od all knowledge, wisdom, love, all...

    IMMEDIATELY the boat was at the land

    Ellicott and Barnes got it right. Immediately doesn't mean instantly. That said, their boat could have been tossed around in a storm 100 yards from the shore and prevented them from going to shore. The storm stopped and they were permitted to land after a few minutes

    What does Christ mean by 'this generation shall not pass'?

    Matthew 24 has presented a complex prophecy that many Christians and scholars have wrestled with. The disciples asked a loaded 3-part question. The answered spans the entire Christian age before His return. His prophecy about the Temple was fulfilled in 70 AD. But the question of His Second...

    Who can believe this?

    So the Great Tribulation is 2000 years long, not 1260 days ... yet another view. Got it.

    Who can believe this?

    We can't know an unknown person's heart. That is like claimly you hired a private investigator to examine 2.69 billion people's lives: their work, family life, actions, interviewing friends and themselves, questioning their thoughts and beliefs, an in depth evaluation of their fruit of the...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    Good, that is why I tried to include as much as possible in one shot, nothing more to add. Accept or reject it and move on. I'm done. I anticipated that many do reject it - that is par for the course. You must realize that if God predestined our salvation that implies we have a secure salvation...

    Who can believe this?

    I believe there are about 1/3 of the world's population to be Christians. This is the Body of Christ. Are we to think God is weak, unable to call His sheep, sanctify and justify them, whom He chose, written in the Book of Life before the foundation of the Earth? I think there are additional...

    Is Reality an Illusion?

    Many were suspicious about Y2K. Because of all the concern, many corporations fixed the problem, invested in new systems, software upgrades, etc. Poorer countries had more problems. The scare was evidently a good precautionary warning. So if someone sends out an alert of the possibility of a...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    OSAS. God does not make mistakes. "He is the Author of our faith". "He knows the beginning from the end". The scriptures I shared state that we are chosen, predestined, called, sanctified and justifed by faith and sealed by the Holy Spirit. The new creature is made holy, pure in God's sight. "We...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    Not really sure if I am a Monergist, not familiar with the full spectrum of the term. We are saved by grace through faith and this a gift, not by works, so no one can boast. The Holy Spirit regenerates a person [the new birth] We cooperate in a sense that when He calls, we hear His voice and...

    Faith: True and False

    For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Eph. 2:8, 9 Justification by faith separates Christianity from all other religions. however some branches of what is called “Christianity,”...

    What Is "Predestination"? How Does It Shape Your Daily Life?

    Isaiah 45:12-13 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor...

    Satan is the ruler of this world?

    Absolutely. GOD is sovereign. Satan can't do anything without His permission as we've seen concerning Job. Satan rules the world (the DARKNESS of fallen mankind)- which we are not supposed to conform to. So he doesn't rule us. There is adeeper meaning to rule. It means the world is under the Law...

    What is the difference between a Jew and a Christian?

    Spiritual blindness prevents any possible vision of any past prophecies fulfilled. Rather look ahead. Israel’s Rejection Not Total 11 I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away...

    The False vs True Gift Of Tongues

    Calvin was wrong about the cessation of spiritual gifts. So maybe if you prompted your GPT-4 AI ( or whichever model you use) to answer Biblical questions without Calvin's theology, without the cosmic dance and comic theatrical fluff, maybe people might be more interested in reading Tulipbee...
