    I note that Brother Copeland and Jesse Duplantis is on the minds of some here.

    Shame on Jesus attacking "men of God"! [sarc]

    Those that are for Pentecostal sects have turned Christianity into a Clown-show and a legalistic circus? Look at where we end up if we declare things with a broad-brush! If one extreme necessitates the other, what does it do for us? There is no argument for some "everyone else" or "majority"...

    Paul's instructions to ministers in 1 Timothy 6:5 and constant friction between people of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can...

    Hear the words of Jesus! === "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Matthew 7:6. Believe God's Word and obey! Make that judgement call as to who are DOGS and SWINE!

    It is not a matter of defending someone against "haters," but being honest about false teachers and false prophets. According to Scripture, one can be a prophet and speak for God, but the one single time they give a false prophecy in God's name, they are to be stoned. I didn't see that part in...

    Copeland rebuked and commanded the Corona virus to be gone over a month ago! What is wrong with his faith? The virus didn't go away!

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    Perhaps a new question about Political involvement (voting) should be... Can a Christian neglect to stop Anti-Christianity if they can?

    What can I trust most in the translations of the Bible?

    History and the existing manuscripts do not lie... The Text "Received by EVERYONE" in the first 500 years of Christianity was the Alexandrian Text, since the Byzantine Text was not even in existence! No evidence exists for the Byzantine Text in the Early Church! Since only the Alexandrian and...

    How to understand... The Lamb's book of life

    The word erroneously translated "before" is the Greek [apo] which never means "before", but distancing away from, or in better English, "since" or "from" the beginning of the world. According to Greek lexicons (Perschbacher, Moulton, Bauer, Liddell and Scott), the word "from" in both of these...

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    The Devil voted that I should go to Hell. God voted that I should go to Heaven. I voted with God and we won by w 2/3rds margin! :D

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    Are Democrats Christian? The question has become, "Should Christians even care or be involved in Politics"? There is no question that Politics can change the Country. In America, elected officials are individuals and can vary "slightly" with their Party. Some Parties are more diverse than...

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    If Christians were not effective in this world, we would have never seen the spread of the Gospel as it has happened. Being salt and light has also shaped the morals of nations. To say that Christians have no responsibility for the shape of their nation, is to say that they are of no use in this...

    Tough Texts for Calvinists

    And where in any lexicon does it agree with you or Pink saying that "world] or [kosmos] is limited to the Elect, or limited to believers, and never to the whole of humanity? Direct quote please!

    Tough Texts for Calvinists

    The problem is, I can read the Bible and not muddy those things which are clear, and differentiate philosophical heresy from what is in the Bible. Obviously, I understand Pink.

    Can a Christian be a Democrat?

    If it were not for a large percentage of Christians in America that vote, would the U.S.A. not be even more depraved than what it is already? We legalized infant murder in 1972, Homosexual Marriage less than a decade ago, and are on a rapid course to legalize marihuana for recreation in all...

    Tough Texts for Calvinists

    Assumptive. I have read several arguments of Pink's. He is so obviously jaded by his philosophy that he is not reliable as a Biblical expositor. He is, without a doubt, a brilliant logician, a masterful writer, a compelling debater. His focus is not expository, but polemic in its effort to prove...

    WHO DOES BAPTISM SAVE? *****

    Where was anyone ever "immersed in a Name"? To add to your dilemma, where was anyone ever immersed baptized-buried-washed under water in Scripture? I know that Pharaoh's army was!

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    But you do not believe that! You believe that a "payment for sins" is what gives ETERNAL LIFE! If anyone's sins were "paid for", they were paid for 2000 years ago. Belief and faith have nothing to do with receiving ETERNAL LIFE! If their sins are "paid for", 2000 years ago, they had ETERNAL LIFE...

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    Substitutes for a real answer is just another red herring; please tell me that your foundation is more than wishful thinking! Once again, the statements are: No passage in Scripture says that Jesus "paid for sins." Some have said here that "He "paid our fine". Where in Scripture does it...

    entire sanctification is an obtainable goal.

    The statement you were trying to answer, was not the question you thought you answered. Period. Please pray for me as I will for you! Show me that something was "paid" in Scriptural Atonement. Those words.... PAID! Atonement "for" sin is not "payment" for sin, or Atonement "paid" sin. You...
