Water Baptism...just do itBy Wm TiptonInstead of discussing whether water baptism 'saves' a person...an issue we personally believe is conditional seeing that some folks repent of their sins yet are unable for whatever reason to be baptised...Id like to discuss whether water baptism was...

God's powerful message is,"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."and not,"For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to...

Sealedeternal:"..and any so-called "Church father" who contradicts His Word did not have His Spirit in them. Interesting assertion.So if you and I were to get into a discussion here and I can show that your views bend the intent of Gods word in some way or another, then we can assume that you...

(winsome;51325) Do you want to get into how many Catholics were killed by protestants in the ReformationOr how many Africans were enslaved and died under protestant "christians"Or how many "witches" were burnt by protestants.Get the chip off your shoulder Richard. Absolutely.Luther has said some...

There were true Christians in the beginning and there were apostates; just as there are today . The ongoing problem with you, Sealedeternal, is that you seem to think that anyone who disagrees with YOUR understanding of Gods word is immediately apostate and going to hell.That is complete...

(Kimshi42;51163) Outright leaving your spouse is abandonment. But what about not fulfilling your sexual duties as a husband or wife...for years on end? Let's say there's no medical reason for the inability to perform... Some would say this is abandonment. What say you? That would be not...

(SealedEternal;51167) Obviously someone who is unable to perform sexually due to physical problems that are out of their control, haven't abandoned their spouse. What's the real point of the question?SealedEternal Im interested to see what the real point is myself Sounds like the OP is just...

(Hugh McBryde;46091) You're free to feel what you want, I can't control it. I can say it's not important and scold you for injecting your sadness into a conversation about what God says.Your feelings show that not ever thought has been made captive FoC, in addition, you maintain a right to be...

(Hugh McBryde;45977) It's immature to realize that something is completely moral, and then sigh about how sad it makes you. I don't recognize your freedom or mine to feel as we wish about that which God declares to be righteous. And I dont recognize your authority to determine for me how I...

(Hugh McBryde;45935) Ok, as my usual self I've still got to ask you why it's sad. If God sees it as marriage, merely another form of marriage, neither better nor worse than any other form, then why is it sad?Otherwise, I'd like an answer to why you think it's worse than monogamy because pretty...

I didnt say I looked down, did I ?You keep inserting ideas into my words as your usual self.I said its 'sad'...and that is my opinion.

(Hugh McBryde;45901) When do we admit that if God had opportunity to comment negatively, many many many times over thousands of years, and did not, that he did not because he meant to. Namely, he has nothing to say or he would have said it.This ultimately cannot be "Sad". It has to be admitted...

(Denver;9008) Hugh, you're picking at words and missing what I am trying to say.A type is nothing more than a type, an ideal. That differs greatly from a commandment or God's Word which makes it a sin. Polygamy is not a sin. There's no hedge in what I say so please quit trying to make one...

(Savate;7449) Are there are any specific scripture that address the topic of polygamy? Yes, there are plenty that address it in one way or another.Sadly none of them prohibits it.

(SealedEternal;30852) Yes but you have a false definition of repentance which apparently allows someone to live in the sin they are supposedly repenting of. You cannot by definition repent of adultery and live in adultery simultaneously. Repentance by definition means to turn from the sin you...

(SealedEternal;30743) As far as God divorcing, If you read Jeremiah 3 in total He was not "divorcing" Israel in the sense you're claiming because He say that she was a harlot treacherously departing from Him, and He was begging her to return. He never broke His covenant to Israel and it is...

(kriss;30857) Then I suggest you get regenerated because you do not know God in his loving grace and forgiveness you only seem to understand it in the abstarct. You obviously have little life experience and have never been a parent So you have no concept of a fathers Love for his children this...

(kriss;30731) Divorce is not an unforgivable sin repent of your part in its failure ask for forgivness from your father for all fall short . God only says he hates divorce he does not say its unforgivable God himself divorced Israel. Amen Kriss !

No more so that it is important to understand that Marks version says 'NO sign shall be given to this generation' as an absolute statement, while others say that there will be a sign given. That an exception appears only in Matthew does not alter the meaning of that exception.READERS...

(SealedEternal;32606) The word that is always translated as adultery in the Greek New Testament is "moicheuō." Porniea is a broad term that means sexual immorality and can refer to many different forms of such depending on the context. SealedEternal The use of 'porneia' means that ANY sexual...
