    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    There have been splits in the LDS church, so it depends where you land on the internet.

    ETERNAL (aiōnios)

    I don't follow, olam is a Hebrew word and the NT is written in Greek, not in Hebrew. For issues like this I prefer to use the YLT, a try to be as literal as possible.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    A small addition, Mormons believe that God once was a sinner who dwelt on earth and worked himself up as God, secondly the Mormon god expect from us the same, to become like him. Outrageous. At least Origin used the Scriptures as a base for a) preexistence and b) universalism, two separate...

    ETERNAL (aiōnios)

    Your post deserves at least one comment :grinning: Forever, everlasting etc. are interesting, a few special ones - Ex 21:6 then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his...

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Sure, but with the exception of Adam & Eve, they lived as only ones in the presence of the Lord in Paradise, a supernatural place with no death. A big Shalom in return.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    It's more like the rational West versus the spiritual East.

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    Merry Christmas to you as well. I wonder if you are familiar with the books and teachings of Watchman Nee, it's about the same subject, holiness. I have read about all his books. Does it ring a bell?

    Theosis vs Christlikeness

    I don't think you have understood what he is saying, he believes that everyone (you, me and everybody else) preexisted, participated in the satanic rebellion (Gen 3) and you, me and everybody else (more than 100 billion currently) as a result were kicked out of Paradise and that's why we here...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    OT - God created. NT - Jesus created Mind blowing. Contradictory? Can't be since Scripture can't be broken.

    Sweeping the Polytheism of Ancient Israel Under the Rug

    It's Isaiah who finally speaks plain language - Jes 45:5 - I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me, Likely written 550 BC

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Agreed. I don't fear, I just don't trust my selfish flesh, it's a big difference.

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Can you really know yourself ?

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    That's very interesting....

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    You might believe so. Me however I don't trust my flesh. I am deeply impressed by the story of Peter who betrayed the Lord 3 times just hours after he used big words he was willing to give his life for Jesus. And I believe if the soldiers would had come at that particular moment he would have...

    DOES BELIEF THAT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED MEAN WE CAN SIN?

    Moving in late, not read everything yet. It's hard to believe a born again Christian will lose the faith, but I do believe there are exceptions. 1. Saul was the anointed King of Israel, it did not end well. 2. King Solomon -- For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after...

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Have a look at the context. Rom 7:24 Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Paul answering his own question - Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin...

    Sinless perfection is easy

    Speaking for myself, when I became born again and received the indwelling Holy Spirit my dead conscience suddenly started to speak and I landed in Rom 7 and while I was a new man I had to fight the old man for a couple of years before I arrived in Romans 8, the nature of the new man (Christ)...

    X-mas makes a mockery of Christ

    While I agree on the message of your post, the website you post from including your links to Scripture passages gives me the creeps. It has horrible subjects like - Discover The Truth about God's Holy Koran in this special Koran Page which contains all the information to prove that His Holy...

    Exploring Trinitarian Logic

    Do you realize that we don't have access to the original manuscripts and that we only have copies of copies with all the risks involved (proven additions, human errors) while the ECF's likely had access to the more reliable manuscripts? So when they quote Scripture it is a source for error...
