Scored 97. But I found questions that included the word 'religion' rather ambiguous.

This appears to touch on 'Sola Scriptura'.. For the Reformers it never meant 'me and my bible'. This would lead to having reinvent the wheel each time a heresy came along. What it does mean is that the Church Fathers have taught things that are helpful and edifying and should be consulted by...

Both.

I find coping with loved ones who remain unsaved one of the most difficult trials. Very little seems addressed to this matter. I have had a step father step into eternity without Christ. I have a daughter (who was home-schooled but now is into Wicca) and a son (who was from a previous and never...

Is this a 'Why did the chicken cross the road?' kind of question? If it is, then, He created the world so we would have something to stand on!

Aren't we misquoting Luther by adding "So when a little heat is applied the whole thing stinks to high heaven." in the same sentence? This is rather misleading. Infusion has nothing to do with justification except that God imparts His Spirit to those who have been justified.i.e. already...

A cup of bad coffee Prentis?

I don't think some understand that our 'work' 'work' 'work' that is acceptable before God must first proceed from our 'rest' 'rest' 'rest' in Him, otherwise it gives room for the works works works of the flesh e.g. boasting how well we have endure and fought and stood etc.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2Co 5:17)

Not only do you have sin/and the weaknes of the flesh working against free will (Rom 7) but you also have the blinding work of satan (2Cor 4:4).

God has a funny way of revealing Himself... as a babe in swaddling cloths, through the mouth of a country preacher, through a beggar on a bus, through a Carpenter on a bloody cross. His ways seem a bit removed from ours.

In grace we walk fully depending on the Lord's love and goodness; In law we walk seeking merit according to 'our own' accomplishments even if it 'by the help of the Lord'. In grace we perform out of thankfulness what the Lord has done, is doing, and promises to do for us; under law we perform...

Just a small foretaste of things too come... and in all deception of unrighteousness among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And because of this, God will send them strong delusion, in order for them to believe the lie, (2Th 2:10-11)...

"So hearing the gospel cures substance abuse? What happens if the addict hears the gospel and still struggles with addiction?" Well then they need to believe it. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone believing, both to Jew first, and...

What is the Christian response to the devastation of substance abuse? The proclamation of the GospeI! Is addiction simply another word for sin, in which case we are all addicts? We sin yes but as Christians we are not in bondage to sin as the addict is. Are 12 step programs an acceptable...

I don't consider mid Acts 'hyper' maybe 'hyper moderate' dispensationalists.But whatever the name the issue is...is it true? This goes for the other 38000 or so Christian denominations as well..

Dan, Ethne εθνη is plural. So now what?

Veteran, Just out of 'spectator' interest can you give me 3 clear instances of translational differences where the work of WH leads to your above assertion of ' joining all religions of the world under their coming Antichrist'.

Veteran. according to your take on Rom 11 there is no need for a future deliverer for the people of the Covenant. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness...

True in a sense, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Rom 5:12)
