    Is God Really All Loving?

    Question: “Is God really all loving?” [Lev 26:30 NASB] 30 'I then will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and heap your remains on the remains of your idols, for My soul shall abhor you. [Deu 25:16 NASB] 16 "For everyone who does these things, everyone who acts...

    Ramblings by lunatics

    I thought I had the flu and was just waiting it out. Then my lung collapsed and I couldn’t catch my breath, so I drove myself to the hospital. It turned out that my flu was “walking pneumonia” in both lungs that had gone sepsis. Apparently I was within about 48 hours of multiple organ failure...

    Ramblings by lunatics

    The CDC website has lots of data on measles and the outbreaks of 1996 and 2014. Your “death” statistic while almost correct (the last death in the US was 2015) does not tell the whole picture. Before the 1963 vaccine, EACH YEAR: 500,000 Americans caught the measles 48,000 were hospitalized...

    Ramblings by lunatics

    The two largest communities where COVID is spreading due to a perfect storm of confinement, population density and vulnerability are NURSING HOMES and PRISONS, so I think that they should be fairly high priorities. My personal preference would be for a flooding of nursing homes to vaccinate...

    LIES...LIES...& MORE LIES...

    Just some facts on COVID in case anyone is interested. The United States counts COVID-19 deaths according to the CDC Guidelines that specify that anyone that is COVID positive and dies of any cause is to be counted as a COVID related death. So a patient that has COVID and during treatment...

    Pre-Destined Elect - simplified.

    The infamous THEIR sins and misunderstandings are BIG, but MY sins and misunderstandings are SMALL, so God will forgive my small sins (like passing judgement on those that Christ for) but will surely punish their great sins (like overestimating the Sovereignty of God). Wasn’t there some verse...

    People who don't believe in Jesus are going to Hell, correct?

    Well, this thread certainly went downhill fast.

    What is the point that we should judge someone as being a false teacher?

    See, this is an example of what I was speaking of when I talk about “False Teachers”. There is no one that can honestly read John Chapter 1 and come away believing that Jesus is not God. The confusion and error sown by this false teaching has nothing to do with an English word vs the Greek...

    What is the point that we should judge someone as being a false teacher?

    You are correct, but those sorts of “reading comprehension” errors in translations tend to produce small errors in theology. No misunderstanding of a word will confuse the deity of Christ in the Gospels. Nor will it convince anyone that Scripture teaches that men are saved because we work hard...

    What is the point that we should judge someone as being a false teacher?

    For me, a false teacher teaches falsely. If someone says “The Bible says ...” and then presents a verse that no reasonable person could read the verse within its paragraph and come to the conclusion that scripture is saying what that person claims it is saying ... then they are a FALSE TEACHER...

    COVID-19 Mortality Rate Under 1%! .....GOOD NEWS!

    I heard a prediction on a news channel investment program interview that about 25% of all malls in the US were expected to not reopen and close down permanently. That’s a 25% “mortality rate” for Malls from COVID-19. I am interested in seeing how close their predictions are to accurate.

    Pre-Destined Elect - simplified.

    [Romans 9:8-24 NASB] 8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. 9 For this is the word of promise: "AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON." 10 And not only this, but there was Rebekah also...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    That sounds all noble and religious, but you have ignored that fact that YOU are not doing what Scripture requires for the blessing in Malachi either. So why should you expect a blessing for NOT doing what God commanded, but doing what YOU wanted to do instead and claiming that YOUR decision...

    Pre-Destined Elect - simplified.

    It is always refreshing when someone that rejects Reformed Theology decides to explain what it teaches. No one I know that believes TULIP, believes what you have refuted in the OP. So we have the thorough public thrashing of yet another STRAWMAN, while all serious discussion of what Reformed...

    What are Your Feelings on Tithes

    I don’t have any crops in my fields or herds to offer a tithe from the increase of. Does God really want 10% of my grass clippings and 10% of those little green lizards that run up and down the windows of my house? I am not even sure how many lizards there are to begin to count the increase...

    Dead faith.

    How is this different from the heresy of semi-Pelegianism? Why has the Catholic Church rejected the teaching of Saint Augustine from when the Church first denounced this heresy?

    Dead faith.

    You have done an amazing job of ignoring everything that I have said in this topic and completely misrepresenting what I did say about Catholicism. Whatever “you guys” you think I am a part of, you have made false accusations against a fellow Christian and your error will be exposed at the last...

    Dead faith.

    You might want to try reading what I wrote and trying to comprehend the meaning of the words before you endeavor to become my teacher. “God gave us two ears and one mouth so we could listen twice as much as we speak; those that speak without listening are always answering questions that nobody...

    Dead faith.

    I apologize for responding to your post. Had I known that you were Catholic, I would not have bothered. For a Protestant to debate Theology with a Catholic is like two men discussing Politics, only one is speaking French and the other is speaking Spanish. They both speak words, but the words...
