    Are the five solas biblical?

    Actual, no ... that is not what Sola Fide ("Faith alone") means, so your train of thought has already jumped the tracks. ;)

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    Kudos for at least being systematic in your unorthodoxy.

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    Were all those who were alive changed and caught up with Him in the air? 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God...

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    Midnight in Jerusalem is 5 PM Eastern Standard Time. ;)

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    No, that is High Noon in Jerusalem on the Sabbath. It just seems like a good time for God to make a triumphal return. Sort of like an ultra-orthodox Western Gunfight between Jesus and EVIL ... :)

    General Question

    No. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is what the people (Pharisees) that Jesus was speaking to (see Matthew 12:22-32) were doing ... it was seeing the POWER OF GOD (the Holy Spirit) at work and ascribing the work of God as works of the Devil. To claim that God is the EVIL ONE is to utterly reject...

    What is the point of a forum if you cannot speak?

    Fair enough ... I place certain people on "ignore" because our interactions are not edifying to either of us. As the Rabbi said in Fiddler on the Roof when asked if there was a blessing for the Tzar: "May the Lord bless him and keep him ... far away from us." ;)

    A spiritual view of the Christmas tree!

    The "pre-Christan Celts" employed the symbol of the Cross as a decorative motif ... However, that is not evidence that Christians copied the pagan Celts when they adopted the Cross as a symbol for Christianity. People seem inclined to make the same false "leaps" when connecting other things to...

    A spiritual view of the Christmas tree!

    The modern Christmas tree, though, originated in western Germany. The main prop of a popular medieval play about Adam and Eve was a “paradise tree,” a fir tree hung with apples, that represented the Garden of Eden. The Germans set up a paradise tree in their homes on December 24, the religious...

    What is the point of a forum if you cannot speak?

    That's partly because nobody follows the rules for a formal debate (which exist to keep debates civilized, on topic and finite).

    What is the point of a forum if you cannot speak?

    On another Board that I am on ... it is called: "The Pit" :)

    What is the point of a forum if you cannot speak?

    An "Unsportsmanlike Behavior Forum" ... a place set aside for those topics banned EVERYWHERE ELSE on the Board: The Trinity and the Deity of Christ Calvinism vs Arminianism The list can be expanded as "unsportsmanlike behavior" explodes across other topics. ;)

    When do you "expect" Jesus to return?

    5 AM Eastern Standard Time on a Saturday.

    What is the point of a forum if you cannot speak?

    Is the Deity of Christ a belief "of secondary importance"?

    anyone heard of this?

    I am not sure why you quoted the blog as your only response to my comments, but I disagree with much of what is written in the blog. Furthermore, I challenge anyone to find the “carry on in leadership as if the sin never happened” attitude of both Wigglesworth and Ted (the blog writer) anywhere...

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    Q. How would you convince a man born blind that color exists? A. Give him the ability to see. Q. How would convince a man that can see colors that color does not exist? A. It would be impossible … even if you blinded him so he could never see color again, he knows what he saw. So an atheist...

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    I have. Pascal’s Wager addresses that. The evidence FOR the existance of God indicates that the atheists are wrong. One might argue that a nihilist asserts “there is no god” because of the lack of empirical evidence for the existence of god, or because “the problem of evil” provides empirical...

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    Claiming to be able to prove DARK MATTER to the empirical criteria that you have demanded for proof of the existence of God … is not actual PROOF of the existence of Dark Matter. Therefore by your NEW CRITERIA, we (Christians) have encountered God and claim to have metaphysical proof of the...

    Why belief in a god is an unfalsifiable claim that serves no purpose

    If time and death ultimately prove Theists correct and Atheists incorrect, I hope you will still be just as BOLD in denouncing the Creator as you are in life. Hypocrisy is always so unbecoming. When I followed Nihilism and pondered the astronomical improbability of an afterlife, I at least...
