    John Chapter 6 - literally

    Well, this is interesting. One of you is suggesting that I should listen to some of the early church men while the other is saying that I should not listen to private interpretation. Which is it? Or does the fact that I publish something on this board, and therefore go public with it...

    John Chapter 6 - literally

    John 6:47-48 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. It's not the act of eating that is what is important. The above verses frame this for us because it establishes that those that believe, and not eat, will have everlasting life...

    To Kriss

    Kriss made this move and she did the right thing. I'm not looking for this site to become my denomination is better than your denomination kind of thing. The thread had degenerated into a mess.Our point is debate the doctrines, not the church. Since you guys found some of the comments offensive...

    Why is US media so scared of Ron Paul???

    I agree, anyone who looks at the media in a fair light can see that the candidates the media likes the most tend to do the best.

    Question regarding once saved, always saved

    False premise Denver. I never claimed this, nor does God's Word. It's a straw man argument made on a foundation of secular humanist reasoning on your part, not the Bible. Real love is sometimes tough love. God uses our suffering in many ways for our good and His glory. It's literally everywhere...

    Translation Error

    Go back to the Greek, I'm afraid the ESV mucks this verse completely up. If you're not a Greek scholar, or even vaguely familiar with the language, read the chapter in context. It's speaking about man's desire; our souls are prone to lust as we envy what others have. Our souls almost always want...

    Jesus Never "Chatted."

    I agree with the original poster. I'd also take it a step further and say that the Bible records what was important. Every single last word is in the Bible for a reason.At the same time, though, don't let something like this become too much of an issue. The importance of the matter is that Jesus...

    Unforgivable sin(s)?

    I want to point out something with the unforgivable sin. A sin has to be asked for forgiveness before forgiveness is given. NonChristians don't ask to be forgiveness because they don't believe in the forgiveness in the first place. This sin will be asked forgiveness of, but it will not be given...

    Question regarding once saved, always saved

    Dave, I think too many people confuse the word "pleasure" with "entertainment." I think fundamentally we agree on most issues, just differ on this particular issue.The key tenants of your doctrine here is based on the idea that God knows exactly what we're going to do ahead of time. In other...

    Open Theism

    Interesting, not a trend I'd noticed. This place get's its daily helping of false teachings in the form of traditions of men - particularly one worldism, but I don't really see that as much of an issue here regardless of what it's called.

    Are we to love Satan?

    The Absolutely Good, Infinitely Forgiving God has NO enemies. To even speak of the Transcendent Creator of All that was, is, and will be as if he's a person like you and me, who has beefs with people, is sacrilege. The Almighty has NO enemies. God loves ALL his creations for God's love is...

    the word Christian

    Christ -ianYou've all done a good job already. All you have to do is break down the word itself. It means "Christ man" or a follower of Christ. It works the same way a republican (not the party) would be a follower of a republic. Obviously, our vocabulary removes the "i" in that case, but it...

    1000 Years

    The millennium is a literal period of 1,000 years. It will be here on Earth - as it is clearly described by both Revelation and the book that has more about the millennium than any other in the Bible - Ezekiel. It will be a millennium of teaching of which the firstfruits will be present teaching...

    Reciting scripture prevents road rage

    I've been annoyed and ticked on the road before - especially down here in SC - but I can't say I've suffered from road rage. However, I have commonly thought about our recited Bible verses in my mind when in trouble and I have found comfort and relaxation.

    Debt

    Well, the Bible speaks against the practice of usury and not so much against going into debt in a reason manner. Yes, going into debt is not the best idea and the Bible warns against it, but in this case I don't see that you're going to be violating Scripture. It's the fools that willingly fall...
