Ugh...With much knowledge seems to come a great deal of confusion often times. I readily acknowledge that I am certainly not as intelligent as you guys seem to be; however may I ask a couple of questions for my understanding? 1. What happens to the cause of Christ if death came before sin...

Could it really be that complicated? I do understand that my "wisdom" is, well....pretty worthless, but may I suggest: 1. Genesis 1 is a factual statement about what happened (exactly as it indicates). This factual statement of order of events ends in Genesis 2:3. 2. Genesis 2:4 begins the...

Here I am to over-simplify everything again.... :) If all that is true in the OP....then how can God desire all to come to repentence? It would stand to reason that if He desired it....and He "picked" the elect...well then...everyone would be the elect or better yet...why did Christ even need...

Romans 10:17 tells us that faith comes by hearing the word of God. Since the bible is finished, you can "hear" the word of God anytime you choose to open your bible. Open it, read it....faith will come. God hasn't failed anyone yet. You need nothing other than your bible to gain faith, spend as...

May I suggest that the problem with these statements is that they are about you....not God. You have made it out that God did all these things for you (and to an extent He did), when God's Word may suggest different. Please bear with my explanation for just a moment: 1. The Promise was not made...

Just wanted to stop in and say hello before I get started posting in the forums. I may be here for a short time; I may be here for a long time, I will let the Lord determine that. I must admit, I have no idea what I am doing here. I have a general disdain for Christians as a whole, but hope to...
