I never said that. I said, repeatedly, that believers can fall away. "go to hell" is a consequence of a false dichotomy. We don't pretend to know who goes to hell. Besides, people are not sent to hell, they send themselves. Everybody "falls away" in varying degrees, in thought, word and deed...

I'm sure you do. Grace salvation is a doctrine you borrowed from the CC. What you also preach is a false accusation.

Thanks lforrest. I'll keep epostle.

Doorposts are not in the shape of a cross because they are not supposed to be. Hidden foreshadows in the OT are never exact duplicates of what is revealed in the NT. However, your primary meaning is valid regardless. Exactly. So why is there such an aversion to a crucifix?

Ephesians 3:10 – the wisdom of God is known, even to the intellectually superior angels, through the Church (not the Scriptures). This is an incredible verse, for it tells us that God’s infinite wisdom comes to us through the Church. For that to happen, the Church must be protected from teaching...

*********************BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!************************ Organizations are made of people!!! Anti-institution, anti-authority "Christians" are often in rebellion against their own reformist principles. The Jerusalem Council certainly regarded its teachings as infallible, and guided by...

"It is a foreshadow of Messiah's shed blood applied to each believer protecting us from death." I agree that's a secondary meaning. The problem is that each believer is not beams made out of wood. (doorpost/cross)Your graphic in post #4 illustrates this nicely. Excellent! Not many are aware...

Thank you for the pleasant post, Nancy. I don't so much rely on what the Holy Spirit reveals to me personally, I mostly rely on what the Holy Spirit has granted to others, in greater measure of wisdom and knowledge than myself. But even a broken clock can be right twice a day! You have a great...

8. Does God Unconditionally Predestine the Reprobate? John Calvin's Institutes OF FAITH. THE DEFINITION OF IT. ITS PECULIAR PROPERTIES Chapter III, 22:1, 23:1-11, 24:12 located on page 776 here (page 785 on the pdf) An absolute parallelism between the saved and the damned is not logically...

The blood on the doorpost is a foreshadow of the cross. Foreshadows in the OT are never exact duplicates of what is revealed in the NT, in the OT they are shadows of things to come. fore-shadow Typology is the study of forshadow. John 19:29; cf. Matt. 27:48; Mark 15:36; – Jesus is provided...

So what. So does most of the Bible. The subject here is Eph. 2:8-9 , not Eph. 2:1-3. God wouldn't bother disciplining anyone who is guaranteed salvation, no matter how many times you log on. There is no such thing as physical, wet spiritual water. You are being ridiculous. This has nothing...

No, Jesus taught the Apostles that, who taught their successors who taught BoL. The evidence is there for anyone who wishes to see it. All of your recycled arguments have been refuted so you resort to childish insults and stupid zingers.

This is not a well thought out reply. First, there is no such thing as enforced celibacy. Men entering the seminary do so by their own free will. They can leave anytime. They have 7 years to pray about their decision. What really bothers you is the fact that we have men and women who give up...

The Jews sacrificed a metaphorical lamb and ate it symbolically. Don't you know ANY theology???

I suppose "you must be born from above with water AND the spirit" is meaningless bible filler and babies are excluded. Agreed, but a baby cannot repent for sins not committed because Original Sin is acquired, not committed. Agreed. Unbaptized babies who die are commended to the mercy of God...

Jesus didn't need to be brought to his senses, and He didn't teach the false doctrine of OSAS. Surely, you can't be that stupid. James does not say Abraham was justified instantly. John 3:16 – justification is ongoing, not a one-time event. God so loved (past) the world, that He gave (past)...

Sometimes, both Species is impractical.

Repenting and believing is normative for adults, but nowhere in scripture is it always a requirement. "household" means everybody living under the new Christian's house, not everybody is required to repent and believe. Babies and children are part of the household, they are not cattle. This...

I didn't say that and neither does James in 2:24. You should read my posts and not read into them what you want. The context is "A man is justified by works, and not by faith alone." Faith and works are organically fused. Dancing around James 2:24 will give you a scriptural hernia. What they do...
