But, in saying that, you are in danger of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Because clearly, in Isaiah 14:12 (kjv as compared to the NIV, NASB), the morning star is Lucifer. We get around this by understanding that "morning stars" is in reference to angels (Job 38:7).

@prism, do you believe that receiving Christ is an act of the will? If not, why not?

A living and saving faith is an enduring faith, an everlasting faith, therefore. There are two types of faith. Luke 8:13 speaks of a nominal, lukewarm, or shallow faith. John 6:47 speaks of a heart faith that is unto righteousness (Romans 10:10). The latter type of faith is unto everlasting...

There is only one gospel, however, that can safely be preached, without condemnation for the preacher (Galatians 1:6-9).

Joe 1:5, Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. According to the verse quoted just above, drunkards are among those who cannot have been baptized in the Holy Ghost. And it is not me saying it, it is the...

In order to deal with "morningstar" doctrine, I have come to the conclusion that Jesus is the Father come in human flesh and then resurrected in a glorified body, likened unto the angels (Matthew 22:30). In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9); and likewise, we as...

I believe it without telling it to myself; because it is the absolute truth.

Actually, I was referring to what it says in Ezekiel 47:3-5 (and at the very least, the truth of that scripture has reached my brain; and I believe it is possible that you have not even read that scripture up to this point, now, have you?). Condescending remarks always turn out to be very...

Of course. I am up to my loins in truth.

I think you mean condemnation.

Funny... At least you didn't call me an anti-Catholic (I can see that that correction was at least received).

A little persecution for righteousness' sake is good for the soul.

No; they have been delivered by the truth!

I like to plant trees. And every singular verse of scripture stands alone as a bastion of scriptural truth. We gain salvation at the moment of faith (John 5:24). Same as the Lord's definition. Make your own conclusion.

Makes sense to me...

If it were required that a minister be the husband of one wife, as the Bible teaches, then it would root out homosexuals from the ranks of those who have access to these children.

That is biblical doctrine (Romans 3:19, Romans 6:14; Romans 7:4, Galatians 2:19; Romans 7:6...1 John 3:4, Romans 4:15; Romans 5:13). Which is not to say that the law isn't written on the heart and in the mind of the true believer; so that he will be obedient to the word of the Lord and not sin...

No; for John 5:24 tells us that we pass from death into everlasting life the moment we believe. And if that cannot be taken literally, how do you determine what is to be taken literally in scripture? It amounts to smorgasborg religion. Their last breath on earth is their first breath in...

No, there is something wrong with your interpretation of James 2:24. For scripture interprets scripture; and James 2:24 is interpreted by Romans 4:2...a man is justified (declared righteous) before man by his works; but before God a man is only justified by invisible faith. Faith without...

Indeed...any prohibition of wrong behaviour is a law. For example, not going over the speed limit when driving...
