Of course God has the final say. Christians believe God is sovereign... not only Calvinists. In fact I'd say the Calvinist God (and He does seem to be a different God than the one others know) is LESS sovereign due to the fact that He fears giving man free will. This fear shows no sovereignty...

Your last 3 paragraphs would have sufficed. In a very limited sense I agree that some versions of the bible reflect doctrine. On the whole, I'd say that we can trust the translators and the bible must be read as a whole and not verse by vese let alone word by word. I cannot think of one word in...

It's BEYOND shameful, as Trump stated. It's unhuman. UNHUMAN.

Had to skim after a certain point. All stuff I know already. Never been too sure if it's a real conspiracy or if the world just lost its common sense. Jordon Peterson had a video on why he believes this change has taken place, but I can't find it.... and I don't really remember except that it...

Amen to that!

The OP is reformed/calvinist. So if you state that God saves us... he understands it to mean that man has no say in the matter. Is this what you believe? I never thought so....

Did Jesus conquer death at the cross or At the resurrection? I always believed it was at the resurrection.... If you care to, please add your reasoning or any scripture that might be applicable. Thanks.

THE LEFT. It's a destructive force that needs to be erased. How to we go back to what Democrats used to believe in? Not that I was one even then... but they've gone CRAZY now.

Gave it a like but I'll have to watch it in 2 parts. In the meantime,,,what did you think of the Pres's speech? Is that man the best in marketing you've ever seen? Does someone have a thread on this? Been too busy lately.....

Everyone is allowed thier opinion. Good ole' Roscoe even. I could write a lot about this knowing both cultures. But I won't take the time. To each his own.

Gee. What a great response to a serious post. Perhaps you don't know what literal means? Could it be? Spiritual death is literal. Is a snake speaking literal? I leave it to you to figure it out. adjective in accordance with, involving, or being the primary or strict meaning of the word or...

Why does Greeek clarify anything?? Do the NT translators not know what they were doing? You listed several words a a definition. How do we know which word to pick? Members on these forums choose the word that most meet with thier momentary requirement. Or the one they agree with most to...

I don't think Italians inbreed ! Not generally speaking... I can't speak for ALL Italians. They seem to be pretty modern folk to me and know about inbreeding. I've often said that both socialism and communism will bring all the poplulation down to the lowest denominator. Socialism will never...

Sure it makes sense. Hope keeps us going... It's a good thing. In heaven all good things will be present.

It's really asking: What is faith? It's not an intellectual concept. biblical faith means to believe more than just that God exists.... However, I would place that belief under the faith umbrella because of Hebrews 11:6 6And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to...

We're not supposed to PERSONALLY BELIEVE anything. We have to go to a couple of mainline, sound churches that teach what the bible says. We must read the bible. IF there is any conflict between the two churches, we go to those that were taught by those that wrote the New Testament. What we...

Sounds good. So which animal are you? We have a human nature. Animals have the nature of an animal. Rocks have the nature of a rock. The image of God that you speak of is the spirit aspect of our human nature. BODY SOUL = man SPIRIT = man with spirit...the knowledge of God.

In the end... At the end of the day... Bottom line.... It doesn't matter !! At least, I don't think it does. There are important teachings in the story of A and E... important elements to take away from that story. I doubt the meaning of day is all that important... if it is, I certainly don't...

Maybe you let the invisible guy affect you too much. If he things heaven will be boring... he could look for a better place.

If that's your belief...fine. I said this is not dogmatic.. it can't be.
