This entire controversy depends on what one means by "evolution." Natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow, i.e. fluctuating allele frequencies are observable and repeatable processes. These processes are demonstrable but amount to nothing more than phenotypic/genotypic variation leading...

Genotypic and phenotypic similarities are not necessarily evidence for common ancestry. Such similarities are just as easily evidence of common design.

Wednesday, August 13, 2014 Faith's Check Book C. H. Spurgeon It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. (Isaiah 65:24) Quick work this! The Lord hears us before we call and often answers us in the same speedy manner...

Hey, what can I say? I was honestly intrigued by your conversation. I almost choked on the irony of the conversation, but I was okay with the popcorn. lol They definitely couldn't hurt. :)

Yes, "order" is the core definition of "kosmos," but the question we face in the exegesis of Scripture is what kind of order? You assumed a particular definition in response to Rocky Wiley and presented it as if it were the only one possible. I believe that my post regarding the nature of the...

So believing that our God-breathed Scriptures are authoritative is heresy? Are you sure that you're Roman Catholic? I've never met a Roman Catholic who believed against Rome, Apostolic witness, (2 Tim. 3:16), and early Church Fathers that Scripture has absolutely no authority. Interesting...

Sorry, we're not talking about Sola Scriptura. That has to do with the extent of Scripture's authority. It was never mentioned. We're talking about your outright rejection of Scripture's authority in any way, shape or form, despite the witness of Scripture, ecumenical council and the early...

Really? 2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work. Even Rome would disagree with you to the point of pronouncing...

Context, context, context. This is the first rule of hermeneutics. This passage isn't about struggling with pet sins as we all do. It's about "setting aside" or walking away from Christ, the final and only sacrifice for sin, after learning the truth. Please pay close attention to the passage in...

This is a distinction without a difference unless you flesh it out and substantiate your assertions with Scripture. Where exactly does Paul say this? Let's see. I can choose bearing fruit to the glory of God and the benefit of fellow believers or I can choose to be temporarily "dead as a...

There's an element of truth to your statement. How so? Glad you asked. Deu 29:1 These are the words of the covenant that the LORD commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he had made with them at Horeb. Deu 29:2 And Moses summoned all...

How would you like to explain the following? 2Co 5:6 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, 2Co 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. 2Co 5:8 Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at...

Yes, but the Greek present tense also indicates continuous action without defining the beginning or end of that action. There is no other statement in the context of Jesus' discourse to give us that information and to fill in that information with a theological presupposition is eisogesis not...

The Kingdom of God is God's rule and reign in and among believers. The Kingdom of God does exist in this reality and it's not physical. Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with...

I've never seen such a truncated definition of "kosmos." Are you simply unaware of it's semantic range or is it closer to the truth to say that you just don't care? http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3Dko%2Fsmos

This isn't about being perfect. This is about how you behave toward others. If I came to this board for the first time and looked at your posts I would immediately assume that you were a smart aleck kid who hasn't been properly disciplined by his parents. But you're a grown man! It's sad to watch.

I'm not familiar with the language in bold type. Can anyone translate?

Bob Enyart said: I agree with you Angelina. Bob assumes what he's trying to prove, as we can see from his statement above. He then draws a conclusion based on that assumption. Most of his arguments regarding time and eternity are nothing more than philosophical speculation. Did I ever mention...

I understood that perfectly. Let's try this again, You said: "Jesus’ precious blood cleanses ONLY those sins committed BEFORE being born-again!" I pointed out that John clearly says in 1 John 1:7 that if we walk in the light as He is in the light, the BLOOD of Christ continues to cleanse us...
