    LIMITED ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence. For the person of the Father is a distinct person, the person of the Son is another, and that of the Holy Spirit still another. But the...

    LIMITED ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44 [NKJV] (Your complaint is with Jesus and the Apostle John ... the authors of that scripture ... not with me. Go tell THEM that they got it wrong.)

    LIMITED ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    "Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” - Hermann Hesse ... you lack wisdom and reject knowledge. No one can come to Me [ T ] unless the Father who sent Me [ U ] draws him, [ I ] and I will...

    LIMITED ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    Most people are not on just one side, but a TOPIC really requires a strong opening position for people to agree or disagree with if it is to generate any real "debate" (in the academic meaning of the term). So I selected one side and defended it, then invited challenge to the position. "I...

    Do you believe Spirit baptism replaces water baptism?

    Verse that supports this bold claim, please.

    LIMITED ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    [begin sarcasm] No, I do not believe that Jesus was ever a man ... I am a follower of Docetism. [end sarcasm] Christians should assume that other Christians are Christians. :Ohpleze: 1 John 2:2 [NASB] and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the...

    LIMITED ATONEMENT: US vs THEM (the L of TULIP)

    (I did a search and it seems to have been a while since there was a topic dedicated to Limited Atonement.) There are different theories about REDEMPTION. We all, if we are Christian, believe that Jesus Christ died to redeem. Beyond that, different people teach a different NATURE of the...

    Satan - Ruler of This World

    If Jesus had returned in 1000 AD, you and I would have never been born and God could not have adopted us into His family. [2 Peter 3:9 NLT] The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed...

    Sharing God's words with fellow Christians is pointless

    Just out of curiosity ... did they actually ASK you a question or did you just FEEL like sharing? "God gave us two ears and one mouth so we could listen twice as much as we talk." "People who speak without listening are always answering questions that nobody is asking."

    Sharing God's words with fellow Christians is pointless

    What would you say to him if he wasn't ignoring you? (I don't think anything you posted here, so far, would be well received ... but I really liked the Butterflies.) ;)

    Clarification needed please

    Everyone who passes through these doors blesses this place. Some when they enter and others when they leave.

    Clarification needed please

    Slander Libel Defamation of Character Inciting to Riot ... just a short list of "free speech" that is prohibited. For Christians: You say, "I am allowed to do anything"--but not everything is good for you. You say, "I am allowed to do anything"--but not everything is beneficial. Don't be...

    Clarification needed please

    Here is the rule ... Christianity Board has always prided itself in being a place of scholarly discussion, friendship and an environment where members can grow, learn and share their experiences in Christ. Our team at Cyb have worked hard over the years to ensure that this ethos is maintained...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    Is it our responsibility to prove that God exists (which Romans 1 claims is self-evident)? Is it our responsibility to proclaim who God has revealed Himself to be to others (as God has revealed that same information to us)?

    Don’t Ignore Or Dismiss The LORD’s Return; You Could Be Caught Unprepared And Be Left Behind To Deal With The Beast = Matthew 24;32-42, Revelation 13

    I find it incredible [not credible, not believable] that Jesus would return for His Bride and RESCUE/LEAVE TO SUFFER part of "His Body" based on a correct or flawed understanding of Biblical eschatology. The warning is to BE A CHRISTIAN and not to "play at Christianity" so that when Jesus...

    I've learned that message boards that permit free expression are extraordinarily RARE

    Ahhh ... the famous "no good deed goes unpunished". :cool:

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    That reminds me of the story about the group of blind men arguing over how to describe an elephant. Is reality only EMPIRICAL? Is reality only SPIRITUAL (metaphysical)? Is reality BOTH?

    I've learned that message boards that permit free expression are extraordinarily RARE

    ... feel free to volunteer to show them the RIGHT way to be a moderator. :) [I was unwilling to invest the emotional energy and I have too strong of personal opinions. I usually agree with the warnings that I get that my response was at a minimum "unkind" and at worst "crossed a line". -...

    What is your best argument for the existence of God?

    What is your best argument for the existence of God? I met him ('Road to Damascus'-esque). That is MY BEST argument, but it doesn't transfer well to others. ;)
