    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    One of the few things Calvinists get correct is their view of God's Sovereignty. Perfectly in control at all times over everything. Man was born blind so God's Glory could be revealed....not just Jesus's authority, power, access to His Father or the Holy Spirit or that He could do whatever He...

    You need to reread the story I just explained that erases Calvinism.

    Rejecting Christ, or rejecting "Christianity"? (the church) ???

    There exists a phenomenon in modern politics that infuriates both sides. (I promise this is going somewhere) RINO & DINO members of each political party. People who claim party affiliation but then acts opposite of what each political party espouses. The same can be said of Christians...

    Freed : From Calvinism and HyperCalvinism )Tulip<>5 Pont.

    This is not an original theology system. It is detailed in John's Gospel over the story of "The Man Born Blind" and explained thoroughly. The question "Who Sinned to cause this man to be born blind" is no different from the same questions and subsequent declarations made by Calvinists.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    The Holy Spirit is God. Not modalism and not part of a pantheon. So this post of yours is nonsense. God understands me just fine in English and spoken in a manner at times that leaves no doubt Who was saying what. Very very clear and unmistakable as to What He wanted. Let's explain...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    The answer to your question is "no, not correct ". God is of order and clarity...not confusion and more confusion.

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    Have you ever taken a recording of people speaking in tongues and put it through Google translate? If it was a viable language....it would translate. But the "tongues" I've heard spoken are extremely regional and none are similar to other regions where the practice is claimed. Not to...

    Zelensky Accepts Defeat to Putin? Says Ukrainian Army Powerless To Push Back Russian Forces

    Have you watched ANY news lately? Gazprom is out. The Russian government is no longer buying Rubles. (Out of resources to buy them)The value has dropped to below 112/dollar. The war economy increased the Russian GDP temporarily but the resulting bankruptcies (trillions of dollars worth) are...

    Currently, With the fall of Syria, the growing rebellion in Georgia, and the ongoing stalemate in Ukraine.....loss of access into Africa....Azerbaijan and Armenia.... Russia has a LOT of problems. Which doesn't include the domestic issues of failed crops this season, crumbling...

    Why you don't have to speak in tongues - Or do you?

    I use Google translate....much easier and more reliable than the speaking in tongues done in most churches which practice such behaviors.

    What does Long Term Cannabis Use Do to the Body?

    Being chemical dependent has far reaching effects.... I have witnessed this first hand through a relative who has used Marijuana all of his adult life. And the result is that he can no longer cognitively process any emotions properly anymore. Not joy, not grief, nor anger. He is an...

    GJohn 1.18

    To what end? Trying to disprove the Trinity? God the Father God the Son God the Holy Spirit 3 in one. Not modalism Not pantheism Trinity....that's it. If you want it to be something else you are in the wrong place.

    GJohn 1.18

    The mosaic was from a 1st century Church in Israel. Apparently you are wrong. They very much did believe that Jesus is God.

    GJohn 1.18

    Early Church did believe that Jesus was indeed God (new discovery of a mosaic floor of a church unearthed in Israel where they were going to put a new prison wing) which says just that. So...aside from that. What John is referring to is one of many "word pictures" that were the stock and...

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    You need to go back and read the scriptures. This is in Hebrew because it's Old Testament. And it was before he built his house/palace. The timeline is not that difficult to understand. The preceeding scriptures makes it clear.

    WHAT DOES IT MEAN WIVES ARE TO BE OBEDIENT TO THEIR HUSBANDS?

    Actually, yes men and women are equals in marriage. Jesus deliberately pointed this out THREE TIMES. Woman with an issue of blood Woman at the Well Mary and Martha.
