    Law Fulfillment by Christ (Matt.5:17-19)

    (zail;42149) bump... I'm really curious about this study. Does anyone have something more to add? Are we supposed to follow the Law of the Old Testement, or is it just a reference? Well, simply, we shouldn't toy around with God's gift that we have in Christ. Hopefully if we love God and have...

    Is punishment in hell eternal?

    (sosthenes;50640) Kriss,Is Hitler just going to be annihilated and not have to suffer or is he going to burn in hell for all eternity?If we're going to be annihilated then is there any real meaning to vengeance? I mean if Hitler and I suffer the same fate then is there any real meaning to...

    Earth millions of years Old

    (kriss;50627) You choose because thats what you were taught thats my point it is not what the bible says its what you choose to believe it says because you have been told it says that by whom?? men Knowlegde has increased do you think those 2000 year old Christians understood the speed of...

    What is Works Theology

    (goldy;50555) Sorry, haven't been on here since last Friday to answer this challenge. For the record, I am not saved by my works ALONE. I am not saved by my faith ALONE. The only thing I'm saved by ALONE is God's grace. The topic in question was how is that grace JUSTIFIED? Is it justified...

    Is faith (belief) enough?

    (Letsgofishing;50597) Just asking Kriss, but what exactly is repentance. wouldn't that be considered work?? You're right, it could be. That is why Jesus said there is only one unforgivable sin--blaspheme of the Holy Spirit. This sin can no longer be committed once a person repents (turns to...

    Is faith (belief) enough?

    (goldy;50586) So I'm sealed in Christ, right? Nothing can take that away from me? WOOOOHOOO!! This just opened the door for everything!! I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I'm going to go out tonight and get really drunk, maybe even hook up with a few prostitutes. Tomorrow, I think...

    Earth millions of years Old

    Another good point. When God made a tree... it would appear to us that it is a older, mature tree... and Adam, a mature man. God created to world in a mature state. Which is just one of many many reasons dating systems will never get it right.The world was obviously created in an "old" state...

    (followerofchrist;50510) Please do not LIMIT God with such petty statements. Saying God couldn't answer our prayers before we die no matter the time scale is down right insulting and ridiculous!!!!:mad:I find the the only people who limit God's infinite nature, in the true sense of the word that...

    Is faith (belief) enough?

    (kriss;50479) Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus works?"This is perhaps the most important question in all of Christian theology. This question is the cause of the Reformation - the split between the Protestant church and Catholic church. Is salvation by faith alone, or by faith plus...

    Is faith (belief) enough?

    (RichardBurger;50476) You said; “I do not think anyone is preaching faith is not enough. What they are trying to say is if you claim you have faith your works will be evidence of that.”****No they aren’t. They are plainly saying that a person “MUST” and “HAS TO HAVE” works in order to be a saved...

    death penalty for or against?

    (BernieEOD;30043) Wrong Christ. Jesus was not a pro criminal who preached us to forgive ra[pists and allow them top keep raping, robbers to keep robbing, and murdereres to keep murdering. Your job is to lead people out of crime before they encounter the sword of the government, not to tell...

    death penalty for or against?

    (Dunamite;29858) Against. Most definitely. It is first a salvation issue for me. A person needs every opportunity to come to repentance and experience salvation. Taking a life no matter how warranted is final. It ends life in this world and maybe eternally, if the person does not know Jesus...

    death penalty for or against?

    (seekingGod;29787) Like to know what your views/thoughts are on the dp?SG From a purely political and judicial standpoint, yes the death penalty is a perfect idea. God has instituted the death penalty (spiritually) for the soul that sins. He also executed it physically in the OT before Christ...

    The Support of Israel

    (adren@line;50230) There are some problems I see with this though.Do you think that the only reason that Christians believe that the Jews are God's chosen people is because that claim originates from the Jews themselves? I mean think about it:You have some ancient Jewish authors writing about...

    Earth millions of years Old

    (Learning;50456) This makes sense. There is no certain date mentioned in the Bible reguarding the making of the world. There is if you go by the Genesis account, and the years given to us in the geneologies listed in the Bible, from Adam (first man), to Jesus. We may not be able to say with...

    Is faith (belief) enough?

    Richard, the mistake many people make is that they want to earn their way to heaven, and when they see someone else not living a life worthy of the Gospel, they want to explain it away by works. They want to say, "Well, they aren't saved because they DO THIS, or DO THAT." In fact, the only...

    Is faith (belief) enough?

    (TallMan;50435) Calvary was to enable Pentecost.Jesus death and ascension was to allow his Life to be received:-"they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. . . Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having...

    Gravity

    (adren@line;50229) Gravity is a theory, like evolution. Therefore we must discard it and come up with a Biblical explanation. That is getting pretty old.Creation is a theory, like gravity.Evolution is a theory, like Santa Clause.
