Sure I have looked into this pretty extensively. The way we are set up here living off grid would not be impossible. We heat exclusively with firewood. We have a wood cook stove that we use a lot in the winter. Really the biggest hurdle would be how to store food without freezers and...

.Long my imprisoned spirit lay, Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray; I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. I like the new "Amazing Love" song too, but this one is so much deeper...

29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings! 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and...

Nope it ain't.

That's awesome! Can't imagine singing that in church. Seems like everything has to be happy happy music.

"In the garden" was one of Mom's favorites. One day about 2 years after she passed away, I was driving by the cemetery, and thinking about stopping and visiting her, but not really seriously considering it. I just randomly changed the radio station, and it came on in the middle of "In the...

Another one? This place is getting overrun with Calvinists! Is a gift even a gift if you can't refuse it? Is God a mafia boss?

I am neither Roman Catholic or seventh day Adventist...

That's not my quote, that's John Calvin's quote.

It may be thought that the Evangelist reverses the natural order by making regeneration to precede faith, whereas, on the contrary, it is an effect of faith, and therefore ought to be placed later. I reply, that both statements perfectly agree; because by faith we receive the incorruptible seed...

So, are you saying Wesley wasn't a true believer?

Well we have a different definition of evil then. God correcting or judging isn't evil. God isn't directing Satan's actions but he does allow them to bring about good, or because some refuse him. God does not tempt anyone. I would rather say God takes what was meant for evil and uses it to bring...

I'm not Catholic. From Wesley: II. What is salvation by faith? 1. It is a present salvation. “Ye are saved through faith.” 2. You are saved from sin, both from the guilt and power of it. 3. First, from the guilt of all past sin. 4. They are saved from fear a. of the wrath of God and b. of...

I deny what's existence? Your rants are hard to decipher and I lost my Calvinist logic decoder ring.

I think the best way to answer this question for a guy is to ask yourself what you would think if it was your wife or girlfriend going to one of these cuddling sessions with another guy.

I'm not sure if you can separate the two. God is the only being who can perform such an operation because of his power, but he is first love... (It's not one of his attributes, it's what he is) so both are needed for salvation.

Um, ok? God allowing evil does not make him evil. Are you familiar with Molinism? If this is the best of all possible worlds, evil is inevitable to some degree for God to have a relationship with us. God holding all together and indwelling his creation doesn't mean that the darkness comes from...

I wonder how much of that was to oppose the false gods, who were mostly based on created things, like the sun or earth and so on? You still see this today, so many pagans and Earth worshipers. But the twin themes are God's power and his love for his people, even though they kept straying away to...

There's no evil in God. No darkness at all. Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them, You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy. This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He...
