    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    Hello Tong, For 2000 years the Church has affirmed that Baptism indeed conveys the Grace that it also signifies. If it does not, why bother? Did Jesus give us empty rituals or the means to receive Grace, through the power of the Holy Spirit? Indeed, and the whole household was baptised...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    Hello Candidus, Indeed, a work of the Law. Interesting that you chose this one as it is the type of Baptism. Being circumcised in the flesh, was entry into the people of God under the old covenant, with all its requirements. Baptism is the circumcision of the heart, a work of the Holy...

    Right, Wrong, and Moral.................

    In Canada recently, organizations that receive funds to help employ students for the summer were required to sign a statement respecting 'Canadian' values including respect for access to abortion. Those who refused were denied funding.. Here is the latest on that: Liberals changing Canada...

    Right, Wrong, and Moral.................

    Hello Truth, I think you missed my point. While we could discuss the objective/subjective standard of sexual mores, i was referring to the coercion, and punishment of those that refuse to go along with the recent social 'standard'. Is it just to coerce and shame those who dont play ball? If...

    Right, Wrong, and Moral.................

    I agree. Not looking good for those who hold that homosexual 'marriage' is a mockery of the 'good' that is the union of a man and a woman. With subjective morality, it will be seen as just when Church lands are confiscated and its possessions stolen.. Peace be with you!

    The Psychological Dangers Of Rewriting History

    Dear Funny bird, You are not stuck. God has opened for us the way. He has demonstrated how much He loves us, by suffering for us, even to death on a cross, even when we were yet wicked. Fear not, but believe! He will not turn you away! Jesus have mercy on us sinners! You too! Are welcome to...

    So what's the future for the USA?

    Hello G, Indeed. Did the princes not use Luther (and others) to justify breaking their oaths and reneging on their obligations? If this wasn't a fulfillment of : Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and his anointed: "Let us break their shackles and cast off...

    Salvation Through Baptism ???

    Hello Candidus, Baptism is not a work that one does. One cannot baptise themselves... It is rather, a gift that one receives from God! Can we be saved by Grace through faith if we refuse that Grace? Peace be with you!

    The Old Man and The New Man

    Hello marks, Reborn yes, but just as our bodies had to grow, mature, develop, until they were fully formed, so do we as newborn children of God grow, mature, develop, allowing God to mold us into His perfect image. Peace be with you!

    So what's the future for the USA?

    Hello Davy, Christ's Church? No. But the sins of its members play a part.. "Where there are sins, there are also divisions, schisms, heresies, and disputes. Where there is virtue, however, there also are harmony and unity, from which arise the one heart and one soul of all believers"...

    The Old Man and The New Man

    I would say we are being transformed into His perfect image, from Grace to Grace and Glory to Glory, growing in ' love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,gentleness, self-control Peter speaks of it this way: For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your...

    The Old Man and The New Man

    All of us, gazing with unveiled face on the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from the Lord who is the Spirit. 2cor 3:18 Peace!

    Right, Wrong, and Moral.................

    And here is another must. Why must we share? If my family has amassed wealth and prosperity and is living well, must we suffer a little so that others might suffer less? You now have 2 'musts' albeit releated.. We must coexist We must share this world with each other. Are these objective...

    Who were the Early Church Fathers after the Apostles?

    Indeed. And reading Ignatius' letters would help to rectify that for many.. 8:1 [But] shun divisions, as the beginning of evils. Do ye all follow your bishop, as Jesus Christ followed the Father, and the presbytery as the Apostles; and to the deacons pay respect, as to God's commandment. Let no...

    Right, Wrong, and Moral.................

    Hello Tom and TOT, I have been following your discussion with interest. Hope you don't mind me chiming in... The whole earth maybe not, but I would suggest that a majority of it might have been... Why must we coexist? Is that some kind of objective moral standard? Following up on...

    So what's the future for the USA?

    It is unsurprising that those who rebelled sought justification for their rebellion... The end of the thousand year reign of Christendom is a direct result of that rebellion.. Why do the nations protest and the peoples grumble in vain? Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against...

    Light Of The World

    You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and...
