I don't see how you separate the first two. Both are attributes of Christ, seeing we're told to "walk even as He walked" and to be humble even as He is "meek and lowly in heart". The word "Christian" means a person who "follows Christ" which word "follow" simply means "imitates" Christ by the...

So, as a Calvinist, I admit I could never be satisfied with anything less than non-robotic, non-programmed, free-will rendered love and devotion from my spouse...but I interpret Scripture to say God only made robot humans pre-programmed to either render to Him love and devotion or be used as...

Oh, you mean 1 John 2:3-4: "Hereby we do know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not His commandments is a liar and the truth is not in Him". And the companion text - 1 John 5:2-3: "Hereby we do know we love the children of God when we love...

Septagint OT. Goodnite!

And just like that, Mr. Grudem exposes his line of reasoning as anything but reasonable by what he claims is "affirmed" in Scripture. He clearly admits his ideas appear to lead to the inevitable, unavoidable conclusion that ultimately God is unjust for judging those as guilty of sin they who...

I think its the height of presumption to claim one is among the "chosen few", in which the rest of humanity is denied the opportunity to take part without a shred of evidence to confirm one's membership to begin with: no confirmation number, no picture ID, no official register, not even a public...

It's SDA doctrine. Paul says "for the Lord shall descend from heaven with a shout" and the saints are "caught up to meet the Lord in the air" in the First Resurrection. It also says "that Great Wicked" shall be destroyed "with the brightness of His coming" and obviously all those who have...

We dress up to go worship God in church...I wonder what kind of "special light" we'll adorn to go in His presence in heaven on the Sabbath. Man, what a shame if we fail to "endure to the end" and miss out on being saved, right?

I believe that when the saints go up to be with Jesus and make their journey to the Gates of Heaven where "the saints go marchin' in", it will leave the Earth in a 1,000 years of darkness and silence with only the devil and his angels left here to consider what they've done and the fate that...

CharismaticLady, I agree with that, although the Bible actually refers to that period as "Jacob's time of trouble" but I don't see where they're be an opportunity for those to whom the door of probation has closed to be able to enter through it. Do you agree that prophecy is Christ-centered...

The "blindness" or "mental dullness" is said to have been imposed upon Jews "in part" which means not all Jews are affected by it - those who are of the "remnant" which respond to the Holy Spirit at such time as He manifests Himself to them, they are grafted back into the Vine, but those who are...

Hi, TT, when it comes to the fourth commandment, the papacy boasts that it has the authority to change God's law because it claims to have changed the sacred day of rest and worship from the seventh day to the first day which is Sunday. Protestants who recognize that the truth that the Ten...

By what standard do you measure this "difference"? The text is clear and we cannot overthrow the plain meaning of it. Gabriel specifically came to explain Daniel's confusion about the previous chapter 8 "mareh" - the 2,300 Days portion of the prophecy which was the only part that left Daniel...

So much of what? The re-establishment of "Israel" which are not Jews at all? They are descendants of the pagan Russian Khazarian Empire, to which history FULLY attests, though it is denied most vehemently by those same descendants who are only too willing to exploit the "goyim" that are drunk on...

"sigh" yes....you wrote "condemn"...I'm asking you "condemn" in the sense of WHAT??? one's actions as unBiblical, or... one's soul to hell?

It doesn't make sense that the 490 would be "cut off" from the middle or the end or such, because there's no definitive description of any of that. Therefore, since we know that the 70 Weeks were to be fulfilled in Christ's day, but the 2,300 years would not be until the "time of the end", then...

And described cholesterol and plague before science even had any inkling of it. Also, that smoking was a devious killer in a time when cigarettes were prescribed for lung ailments....the dangers of caffeine, tobacco, alcohol, eating unclean meat such as pork, shellfish, etc. Yes, what a blessing...

Charles Spurgeon says "no sane man ought to raise the question" as to whether the Antichrist is "the popery in Rome"...so, I guess he's as guilty as I, right? LOL

You're confusing what you suppose is fear in your opponents with what is actually the case with them: the wisdom to ignore the foolish rantings of a rude, unChristlike know-nothing

We'll have to agree to disagree, then. But I think in the court of public opinion, it is well known which of our two churches is the real problem...too bad people can't see as clearly as did the Protestant Reformers, though.
