I agree, either one ALONE negates the other. A person that claims FAITH but lives in total disobedience to GOOD WORKS (that God created in advance that we should walk in them - Eph 2:10) is actually proclaiming a lack of true (genuine or saving) FAITH in their life. Any person that is WORKING...

If God had not removed your heart of stone (a dead heart) and given you a heart of flesh (a living heart) then you would still have no faith and you would not believe and you would have never repented (and therefore had no reason to confess) and Jesus would not be your Lord and Savior ... which...

Ok, so let us look at all of mankind. When has there ever been a majority of mankind that viewed the world as “us” and not “us and them”. That is the root of all wars and all atrocities, the ability to view other human beings as “them”. When was there peace in the majority of the world? When...

[Hebrews 10:10 NASB] 10 By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. The word sanctified (ἡγιασμένοι = Strongs G37) in Hebrews 10:10 means “to purify by expiation, free from the guilt of sin” and is used in this meaning in each of the...

I call “poppycock”. I am white and I bet we have more in common than different. Send me a private message and we can start a conversation where I will PROVE my claim. Or we can compare private notes in public if you want to show the bystanders that playing the race card is BS.

[Exo 21:7-11 NIV] 7 "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as male servants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he...

To the best of my knowledge, no serious theology believes that Christ has already returned and people have already been raptured. Your friend is probably thinking of “preterism”, the belief that the events that must happen before the return of Christ were all fulfilled in the First Century...

My feelings on tithes: Requiring 10% as a demand from God, smacks of legalism and paints God as some sort of “godfather” taking his cut off the top “or else”. Having a heart that is unwilling to give any money to support the place where you worship or the ministries they support (like...

ALREADY AND NOT YET ... Baptists have a tendency to see the truth of “Already and not yet” in all of the great truths of God and our Christian walk. The truth that you have touched upon is no different. When was DEATH swallowed up in VICTORY? [PAST] about 2000 years ago when a certain Savior...

“TODAY”. [Hebrews 4:1-13 NASB] 1 Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not...

So we have found a SECOND “unforgivable sin”. Just out of curiosity, what makes this sin worse than so many others that the Bible lists?

When did the women go to the tomb? How many angels were there? (The eye witness accounts do not agree on the observable facts.) It is certainly convenient that the body that will live forever suddenly disappeared so nobody else can see for themselves this “evidence”. Clearly “something”...

Trinity (threeness) is found everywhere in the universe that man experiences. A small list of practical threeness: birth, life, death LIGHT: Sun, moon, stars Ice, water, steam Animal, plant, rock Sky, ground, sea (Air, earth, water) FAMILY: Father, Mother, Child(ren) Past, present, future...

Umm ... not quite. This verse says nothing about children being born “children of hell”. It actually says exactly the opposite. It claims that the “proselyte” (one trained or taught) “is made” (transformed from a non-child-of-hell into a child-of-hell) a “child of hell”. “Child of hell” is...

[Act 16:13-15 NASB] 13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled. 14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics...

Those authors make good reading when sleep eludes you? :)

Nothing makes a person want to hear what you have to say like a strong opening that claims “I am smart and you all are ignorant, so listen up!” ... :rolleyes:

What “evidence”? If you are going to bring up “first cause” or “irreducible complexity”, then those are not evidence, those are logical arguments. There are atheist “logical arguments” to counter them. In any case, logical arguments only indicate that something is POSSIBLE not that it is...

How is it that you keep quoting what God says to HIS CHURCH on the narrow path and trying to apply it to the God-hating world content to travel the wide road?

Tired of the personal insults. Good riddance.
