    Is God Sending Republican Voters a Message?

    That the Big Lie! There was no "Switch." Republicans have always been Conservative, and the Democrats Liberal. This issue of grabbing the constituency of the Blacks for the next 200 years is well documented what Lyndon Johnson said. I will not repeat it here. Senator "KKK" Byrd never "Switched"...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    So, you were "told" that Berkhof "was the best..." do you always let people tell you what to believe? Since you have read Berkhof, and you believe he is correct, I am sure that he must agree with you that "Penal Substitution is the gospel." Could you give me that page number? Surely, I must know...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    You appealed to the logical fallacy of popularity and numbers as your proof of why you thing Berkhof is right. It was YOUR appeal to this bad logic that shuts you off to truth and answers. I am correct; as usual... that you appealed to Berkhof being true because so many more people read him...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Because you have not offered a Biblical argument to answer!

    Is God Sending Republican Voters a Message?

    No, wearing hoods and burning crosses is a Democrat run operation.

    Do all black lives matter? - By a Black man

    This is Chicago "gun control theory!" For everyone shot in Chicago, that takes one bullet off the streets! :eek:

    Do all black lives matter? - By a Black man

    Marks, apparently you are like me! We both lack the necessary "boot-licking" skills!:p

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Even Millions more have learned from Muhammed! Perhaps if numbers of disciples prove truth, you need a new religion!

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Read it again! I said that NO THEORY is "THE" Gospel! There is no virtue in believing a lie. Every doctrine has a ripple effect, especially the Atonement. When you twist everything you read in alignment with a bad assumption, you do not arrive at a Biblical answer. Imagine an airplane that...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    I quoted him directly, even gave you page numbers. He contradicts himself like 99% of those who read him do! Millions learned from him... he will be held accountable! So, you take the easy route and let someone else do the thinking for you? Is that faith in Berkhof for your salvation that you...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Show me where the Bible says that Atonement is for the purpose of satisfying the justice if God. Why would you force God to work in your realm of ideas?

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    I would ask how this would be possible. Why would God spend over 4,000 years of Jewish history saying that Atonement was by sacrifice? Why would the Bible speak of the Old Testament as a shadow of things that are fulfilled in Christ? Why would God change Atonement by Sacrifice, especially to a...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    This is the danger of allowing a Theory to regulate what and how we interpret Scripture. Since is such a familiar message to most people, it is assumed to be stated in the Bible. Most people do not realize that they have built a foundation on a Theory, and not Scripture. Many will not change if...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Is #3 you have a friend slap you upside the head with the thickest King James Bible they can find? I have found that when the Holy Spirit is not quite getting through my thick skull, sometimes God uses a metaphorical 2X4!

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    As for the Holy Spirit helping us to "connect-the-dots," he certainly brings things to light in His time. The difficulty is that most people cannot tell the difference between the Holy Spirit speaking and their own minds. Proof is in the vast differences that "Spirit Led" people hold. The issue...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    Being in a room where I have heard three or four "confirmed" statements that the Holy Spirit gave them clarity on a verse, and they all contradicted each other.., so "which" Holy Spirit am I to believe? And before anyone goes there, No! The Holy Spirit does not give you an infallible private...

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    True, but the Holy Spirit will never tell someone something contrary to what God says in Scripture. Scripture must be the final Authority because no matter what issue you bring up, someone will say that the Holy Spirit has taught them otherwise!

    Was the death on the cross necessary?

    We do not become Christians by coming on our terms! We can only come on God's terms! It does not matter if I am a seasoned theologian or a babe in Christ, what God says is right! If I do not understand it, it does not make it untrue! Now, I do not know if it is entirely possible to disconnect...

    What I believe about the Atonement

    Much of the debate on the Forum revolves around a dogmatic claim of what Atonement is. Most would agree that Atonement is Reconciliation of man and God. The nagging question then becomes... Who is reconciled to "Who"? Who is the "Object" of Atonement? Some will say it does not matter... Two...

    Do all black lives matter? - By a Black man

    I am waiting for CNN and MSNBC to shame them every day for a week what was obviously a "Photo Op" and pandering to a crisis like they did when Trump posed in front of a Church burned by BLM Terrorists!
