Eternity: smoking or non-smoking? Your choice. ;)

"bigot" is a buzz-word in the homosexual community. I do believe that calling homosexual practice the result of a reprobate mind, as the Bible teaches us (Romans 1:28), is not in violation of the love of the Lord as you would define it in 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. It is declaring the judgment of...

Nope, you didn't sink it by a long shot....to do that, you would have to destroy specific scriptures in the Bible that teach the doctrine, or cut them out of your Bible (but keep Revelation 22:19 in mind). If the fear of the LORD be in our hearts, we will be faithful and will not depart from...

Also, Psalms 86:2 may be an exception to your rule (the Psalmist calling himself holy).

However, they will say, "you can be holy."

I am ant-Catholicism. I have nothing against you personally over the fact that you are a Catholic. (although your accusing me of being a liar is getting kind of old...and is a lie in itself, on your part).

How then can anyone lose their salvation?

My belief does not depart from what the church has believed about the Trinity for the past 2,000 years. It does not contradict any of the creeds. But it does add understanding about the Oneness of the Lord in the context of His three-ness. No kidding...and the statement he is making about...

The question is whether the life is actually everlasting or not. If, in ceasing to believe, my life comes to an end, then it was never everlasting. I do not subscribe to OSAS but to POTS. This means that we are kept by the power of the Lord. Not that we can cease from believing and thus lose...

Nope: it is sound doctrine inferred from the scriptures presented (John 5:24, John 6:47, John 10:27-30). I disagree.

1Jo 2:6, He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1Jo 2:27, But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and...

I disagree with you. I believe that the Bible teaches us that we inherited sin from Adam. You can teach differently if you want; but in doing so I do not believe that you would be preaching sound doctrine.

Which happens from conception and the womb, Psalms 51:5, Psalms 58:3.

There is such a thing (John 5:24, John 6:47, John 10:27-30). More specifically, POTS. No; because a free gift must be received in order to be appropriated.

Does not Calvinism teach that we do not choose God but God chooses us? Therefore, it seems to me, that if God did not choose us, we cannot choose Him; or that, if we do choose Him, but He did not choose us, we are out of luck. The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that if anyone comes to...

Psa 58:3, The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Psa 51:5, Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Adam was truly born of the dust of the earth. But those born of the flesh, truly refers to those who have inherited the sin DNA from Adam; for that Adam and Eve partook of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Indeed... 2Ti 4:1, I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2Ti 4:2, Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2Ti 4:3, For the...

In understanding 1 John 3:9, I believe that it should be interpreted by 2 Corinthians 3:12 (kjv). 2Co 3:12, Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: If every Christian can walk in the Spirit, then every Christian can walk in the Spirit 24/7/365. And that means...

Anthony, my concern with Calvinism has to do with the fact that it appears to deny what Jesus said in John 6:37. "He that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out." It appears to me to teach that if God did not choose you, you cannot be saved no matter how hard you try to come to Him; because...
