I enjoyed both the Loin King and Pocahontas as well, but one really does have to be willing to see what is painfully obvious. Both movies celebrated ‘new age’ religion over anything close to a “good vs evil” Christian worldview. For the Loin King, I was willing to let the emphasis on animism...

The people that attempted to stone Jesus for blasphemy clearly did not believe that he was God, but they equally clearly believed that Jesus had just claimed to be God (otherwise they would not be stoning him for blasphemy). Come on, who is kidding who? This really isn’t that hard to see from...

The native speakers listening to him that immediately took up stones to kill him for blasphemy disagree with you.

2 Cor 5.21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. You diagrammed that sentence incorrectly. God transformed Jesus into sin. [physically? Spiritually? Metaphorically?] It does not say that Jesus was created by God.

After reading this topic, it strikes me that this is really a discussion/debate on the "hypostatic union". From "Got Questions": The hypostatic union is the term used to describe how God the Son, Jesus Christ, took on a human nature, yet remained fully God at the same time. Jesus always had...

Will burning those that reject the Athanatian Creed at the stake save their souls? Can you or I compel belief in another? I agree with the importance of the Deity of Christ ... Romans 10:8-9 time ... but I also believe John 6:35-45 which makes it the Father that draws and teaches the truth...

Good for you! I wanted to ask a question without further derailing the Sola Scriptura topic, so I moved your comment here. First a confession, I am a “three point Trinitarian” (a small joke there) that does not completely understand the mystery of ONE GOD in Father-Son-Spirit, but still...

During Jesus’ earthly ministry, the people already had the scripture that God had provided and the traditions of men that the Priests and Pharisees had added to them. God Himself, in the person of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, spoke directly to the people as God Incarnate. During that...

Ephesians 2:8 [ASV] 8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; [CSB] 8 For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God's gift -- [DBY] 8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of...

Part 1: [Deu 8:3 NKJV] 3 "So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD [Mat 4:4 NKJV] 4...

Done.

The Apostle Paul says you are mistaken and salvation is indeed by faith “alone” (ie. apart from works). Ephesians 2:1-10 [NKJV] And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of...

You and they are wrong. When you proclaim false beliefs loudly, they become hard to ignore. It is not like you or the RC had actually been talking TO each other for 25 pages. Leave the reformation out of topics if you don’t want rebuttal from reformers.

Perhaps you could point out what I failed to read and explain how I misunderstood?

And yet YOU chose to bring it up in THIS thread, or I could not have responded to your rejection of “faith alone”.

Ephesians 2:1-10 didn’t ask your opinion. [NKJV] And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we...

Deuteronomy 18:20-22 [NKJV] “ 'But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' And if you say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?'-- when a...

In Rev 12, the 7 crowns (diadems) were noted on the seven heads of the Dragon (satan) representing “perfect, complete” authority (over evil and the fallen world). In Rev 13, the 10 crowns are on 10 horns representing great power and worldly rulers. So in Rev 12, the emphasis is authority in...

I love this discussion! Both the people that read scripture like I do and those that I completely disagree with are debating their positions from SCRIPTURE rather than empty opinions. Iron is sharpening iron. :cool:

We will have to agree to disagree about the ability of God to finish what he has begun [Philippians 1:6], the ability of the Son to lose none that the Father has given Him [John 6:39], the deposit of the Holy Spirit to guarantee the redemption of God’s possession [2 Corinthians 1:22, 2...
