Why are there "ethnic Russians" living in the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine? (this is a test of YOUR basic impartiality.)

I bet “why the war began” is irrelevant to the refugees trying not to get shot as they flee across bridges to escape the shelling of civilian populations to clear cities for annexation by Russia.

Romans 14:5-6 … I knew the answer for someone that regards every day alike (like me) and was asking for the answer of someone that regards one day above another (like the SDA). (No one demonized my worship on THIS topic. Visit any topic on the Sabbath and see what your fellow Sabbatarians...

Historically, the attempt to change the day of worship has been perpetrated by the papacy of Rome which reveres Sunday as the day of rest instead of Saturday, the biblical Sabbath. The fact that the second beast in Revelation 13, representing the United States of America, exercises the same...

They don’t want to listen. :( Like the men of Romans 1, they have chosen the lie over the truth and seem immune to Truth. It seems that I have no choice but to “give them over” to the path they have chosen. Romans 10:16 [NASB95] However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says...

If you are working EVERY Sabbath, then is it really a “day of rest”? So SDA Dairy Farmers ignore the commandment to “remember the Sabbath and keep it holy” by doing their normal work seven days per week and treating all days alike (and I am going to HELL because I attend church on Sunday...

No, my heart is not free of all lust and my mind is not free from all sinful thought, but I never cease to fight against this body of flesh and I trust that I have a savior that forgives me when I repent ... even seventy times seven times. [As promised, an honest answer. However based on...

First answer for yourself, to prove honest intentions, and I will gladly respond with equal honesty. (That is a rather personal question that at first glance seems … NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. [Romans 14:4] )

Amen. [Ezekiel11:19 NASB20] 19 "And I will give them one heart, and put a new spirit within them. And I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, [Ezekiel 36:26 NASB20] 26 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will...

And here David Guzik explains what is going on in Malachi 1: b. Yet Jacob I have loved; but Esau I have hated: God asks Israel to find assurance in His election. He wants them to understand that they are chosen and remain His chosen and favored people. When the people of Israel compared...

And here Matthew Henry explains what is going on in Malachi 1: III. He makes it out, beyond contradiction, that he has loved them, loved them in a distinguishing way, which was in a special manner obliging. For proof of this he shows the difference he had made, and would still make, between...

God’s ACTIONS in Malachi 1 do not agree with an idiom for a “lesser love”. Nothing says “I like you, like turning your home into a cursed, desolate wasteland”? … and sometimes, Hate means Hate (God does not “love sin less”.)

Hyperbole: exaggeration for dramatic effect or to enhance the point [Luke 18:25] "For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." [Matthew 18:9] "If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it from you. It is better...

Greetings Matthew, There is a term … Biblicist … that I am not fond of (because EVERYONE claims to follow the Bible and then argues over what it means), but a “Biblicist” is someone that believes God wrote EXACTLY what He meant and meant EXACTLY what He wrote. They reject fancy explanations...

What a pity none of the translators knew that and translated the idiom like they did other Jewish idioms … Why would the Holy Spirit quote a Jewish idiom in Greek and not bother to translate the meaning? Luke 14 is hyperbole … like plucking out your eye (Matthew 18:9) … to emphasize the...

Except Esau … Malachi 1:3 & Romans 9:13.

Yes, we are saved by GOD and not by MAN. You can keep insisting that Ephesians 2:10 comes before Ephesians 2:8-9 if you want, but I will continue to believe that God saved so that we can walk in good works, not God saves us as a reward because of our good works. Sola Fide. (By Faith Alone) Sola...

[John 10:25-30 NIV] Jesus answered, "I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father's name testify about me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never...

… is a strawman created by those that want to add WORKS OF MAN to God’s gift of grace as a prerequisite for Justification. No Reformer ever claimed such nonsense. We believe Ephesians 2:8-9 followed by Ephesians 2:10.
