I don't have religious faith, but i do have biblical, evidentiary faith. What Mormons have is religious faith, Christianity has evidentiary faith. The Bible has many places it can demonstrate evidence that God has written evidentiary faith, for example, the main apologetic passage in our Bible...

Yes, I agree, Jesus instructed those to believe in the Father. He also told those listening to him what would happen if they believe in Jesus. The result of belief would be rivers of living water, a reference to the Holy Spirit.

The Jewish people were a unique group and were the sole recipients of the Mosaic Law. In a sense they were very much different than all other humanity. God dealt with them differently. This is one aspect of the elect group. But nobody had a better chance to be saved, than the whole population...

PS95 You said that you believed that I was answered. I don't recall that so if you still believe I was answered, do you remember how I was answered? I will be glad to answer a year later : p

I am equally dumfounded how people can attribute Jewish Dispensation passages in Joel chapters 2 to the mystery Church.

It is my opinion that dreams will not be given by God in the Church dispensation. after the last Apostle died. The next time of signs, dreams, and wonder will be by God at the resumption of the Jewish dispensation. 2nd Thessalonians attribute these future signs to the demons. Based on Heb 2.1-4.

The following article is fictitious, it is made to be a fictitious story so don't take anything as doctrine... How to start a new religion. It is easy to do; all you need is a private revelation from God or an Angel. This religion is supported by faith, and faith alone. Many religions are...

There is no two natures within Christ. He is not man and God. What is more true (the sentence that Paul wrote) is that Jesus Christ came in the LIKENESS of man. Jesus is not both man and God. He is the God-man. He is the Word of God that took on (human) flesh, but not a human nature. You can not...

Would GJohn 3.16 count? For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Οὕτως γὰρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν κόσμον ὥστε τὸν υἱὸν τὸν μονογενῆ ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν μὴ ἀπόληται ἀλλὰ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον...

You are merging Justification with Sanctification. Belief alone in the finished work of Christ is salvation. How much faith is needed? Any more than none at all. Remember, the Holy Spirit convinces the unbeliever that he is lost, and makes it clear that faith alone is salvation. Faith plus...

You might want to think of this: Jesus does not have faith. An omniscient Being can not have faith. They can have faithfulness, but not faith.

Just curios what device did you use to measure the age of the Pangaea?

Ronald, this may be the most convoluted understanding of prophecy that I have ever read. I would encourage you to seriously get some scholarly commentaries on Daniel and the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation alone would help you see where your numbers are considerably off. Go to...

Actually, the word for "be saved" is better translated "be delivered." This is not a salvation verse. It is a promise to all those during the Tribulation who endure throughout it, will be delivered by Christ at the end.

Let me remind you of your post above. You wrote: So, we are initially saved by faith at the starting line of the race but ultimately saved by works at the finish line? Then, right above this post you say: salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works...

How many bad works can you do before you are no longer saved?

There is no evidence that this believer ever produced good fruit. All we know is that his current lifestyle was one of ongoing sin without repentance. If what Christ taught was a bad tree bears bad fruit, the fact that this guy was turned over to Satan implies that he has been living in...

Your definition sounds like those who have genuine faith will produce fruit in this life. The guy in Corinthians who was having a prolonged relationship with his step mother, he lived in sin, Paul says to turn him over to Satan, for living this life style, but Paul says he will be saved. yet as...
