    The Bible: One of the Believer's Biggest Problems

    I am a huge fan of the Athanatian Creed, but you are confusing Athanasius (who technically did not write the creed) with God. God breathes infallible scripture. Men offer (at best) inspired but fallible creeds and letters. Here is the Creed you referenced: Whoever desires to be saved should...

    The Bible: One of the Believer's Biggest Problems

    Sorry, I was away for a while and never saw your open challenge. One quick question. I can explain from the burial to telling the disciples (two clear events in all of the narratives), but the explanation requires some effort to "prove" that my opinions are verifiable from the Gospels...

    The Bible: One of the Believer's Biggest Problems

    ... Don't be silly. Lots of people believe lots of errors, so Of course "an error can be believed!" God cannot lie. That is a real impossibility, but "no error can be believed" is untrue. ;) [PS. It is unwise to reject essential doctrines. :p ] Says what Law?

    Ukraine's Azov Battalion, The History On This Neo Nazi Group?

    Are those the only two options? “Drink the koolaid” or “deny reality”.

    Ukraine's Azov Battalion, The History On This Neo Nazi Group?

    Wow, genuine Russian crackpot theories brought to us via the Internet … and I thought the US was supposed to have all of the crackpot theories.

    How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect?

    I’ll pass. If the only way to communicate with you is to read the last 73 posts, then I’ll just bow out now. CAIO. Catch you on the way up …

    How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect?

    I read it again just for you and NOAH (the person we were discussing) was not mentioned even once. The technical term for what you are posting is … a non sequitur. Why are you wasting my time? Have you read Romans 9? (It also has nothing to do with Noah, but something to do with God choosing).

    How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect?

    NO! Matthew has 25 chapters? ;) (I assume the question was rhetorical, pretend I am an idiot and just state the point.) :)

    How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect?

    “then said he to his slaves the marriage-feast indeed is ready and those called were not worthy”

    How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect?

    Yup, just not because of merit. (That’s what I love about Genesis … they had families just as messed up as mine - growing up - so there is hope for ANYONE.) ;)

    How can you KNOW that you are saved and part of the elect?

    [Romans 10:9-13 NIV] 9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 11 As...

    Mary is all powerful!

    You do realize how strange that sounds, right? “Mary is all powerful, except she isn’t really all powerful, except she is all powerful because her Son is all powerful.” By that twisted logic, I am also “all powerful” because my “groom, brother, Lord and Father” are all all-powerful … so that...

    Commitment to Sin

    [Song of Songs 2:15 NASB] "Catch the foxes for us, The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards, While our vineyards are in blossom."

    Mary is all powerful!

    She wasn’t even powerful enough to save herself … so by definition, that makes her LESS THAN ALL powerful.

    Faith-based tattoo: as a result of one, did you ever talk with someone? (Poll included)

    Cool … I never saw Christian exhortation that involved turning your “oil lamp” into a Molotov Cocktail and “Sharpening your Sword” so you could flame another Christian and plunge your sword through their heart before. Interesting approach to “iron sharpening iron”. ;)

    Is there an 8th Day?

    Yup … repent TODAY, because TOMORROW may be too late.

    Can you be saved if you don't believe in the diety of Christ?

    [Romans 10:8-13 YLT] But what doth it say? 'Nigh thee is the saying -- in thy mouth, and in thy heart:' that is, the saying of the faith, that we preach; that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt...

    Can you be saved if you don't believe in the diety of Christ?

    Perhaps if you are ignorant, but probably not if you deny the truth. God has the final decision on who makes the cut.

    Is there an 8th Day?

    “Tomorrow” is the Eighth day, but tomorrow never comes because by the time it arrives, it is “today”. ;) However, this will not always be the case. That is why the apostle entreats us to choose Christ while it is still TODAY. There will come a day when days will end … following that ‘last...
