    Defending the Trinity

    Psalm 110:1 1 The Lord says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” 2 The Lord will stretch forth Your strong scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of Your enemies.” 3 Your people will volunteer freely in the day of Your power; In holy...

    Jesus - Is He King now?

    John 18 33 Therefore Pilate entered again into the Praetorium, and summoned Jesus and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” 34 Jesus answered, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?” 35 Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and...

    Corrupt leaders = Proof of free will

    God is omniscient, thereby He knows all things past, present, and future. If you deny this then you have a lesser view than the traditional Christian God. This being said God knew Lucifer was going to be found wicked, yet He made him the anointed cherub that covers anyways. Your philosophy...

    God is Love

    Echoing the OP... God is love. God is Spirit. Love is Spirit. In truth we are called to no further expression than love, for in us (Christians) love is perfected. Love your God, love your neighbor, love your enemy. It can never be over-preached, over-estimated, or over-worked. It is every...

    Interesting find. Great post Arnie!

    What required for going to Heaven?

    Again, the Catholic Church is the Universal Church and basically this states only those in Christ are saved. Notice this does not state you must be in the Roman Catholic Church, only that you must be in the Catholic Church. The Universal (Catholic) Church is the body of Christ. A person...

    Denying Reality

    Your argument agrees with the point made on the website, even though you say no. Your second argument switches subjects. The subject is about the Java man. As far as the evolution moving upwards, I am uncertain you are gathering what the author is attempting to convey. Interesting the claim...

    Denying Reality

    Here ya go about Java man: Probably the most important single issue involved was whether or not the three fragments were from the same individual. THIS WAS ASSUMED by some. The whole argument as to whether a "missing link" had been found rests upon this assumption. The way in which it was...

    What required for going to Heaven?

    So then only Jews are going...no Christians allowed according to you.

    What required for going to Heaven?

    This doctrine is correct. The Universal Church includes the entire body of believers as to which our membership is proven by the indwelling of the HolySpirit, not man's record. Shalom

    Denying Reality

    I was specific about the fossil record. Perhaps if you have different information about this you could disclose it? The definition of the word "kind" is not in question. If you want a Hebraic word study we could go through this, but I really don't have the time. Maybe you could take the time...

    Denying Reality

    I simply don't see the evidence of cross species mutation in any fossil record. When looking at the observable data for example, a bat has always had wings. It is faith on the scientists part that they will find a bat with no wings. The scientific data is more consistent with the biblical...

    Know who your enemy is

    John 3:12 12 “If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things? 2Kings 6:17 17 Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” And the Lord opened the servant’s eyes and he saw; and behold, the mountain was...

    Denying Reality

    Wow, this is interesting. You want to see my listing of education and fields of study over a post in a Christian forum. Is this a formal debate or is this an opinion forum? If we are not allowed to have a solid position on any given topic without full disclosure of all of our current degrees...

    Denying Reality

    I do not believe Christianity asks us to deny reality. The Bible does have this to say: Proverbs 3:5-7 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own...

    Monergism or Synergism,

    Salvation from a human perspective salvation is three staged...we are saved, we are being saved, and we will be saved. I can explain more about this if you like but I think you comprehend what I am saying from your OP. That being said I believe God chooses us, sanctifies us, and glorifies...

    Salvation Not Possible Without Works

    Sorry Ernest I did not read your complete response post. Although I hold to my former position your question should be answered. The thief on the cross performed no "works" to be saved. Now if you say faith is a "work" then faith is all that is needed for salvation. My position stands...

    Salvation Not Possible Without Works

    No you built a straw man argument and you hold to it. It is apparent you care not to discuss the issue, you want to win an argument, and you will use any tactic to win, even if it is unethical. Shalom

    What required for going to Heaven?

    So then belief in the woman washing Jesus' feet leads to salvation? This is what you are teaching in this post. You truly have a misconstrued view of the gospel. I have no need to further this conversation, I have shown you where you are in error, and you further your own error in your posts...

    The Doctrine of OSAS

    It is irrelevant whether or not God predetermined anything, this is a straw man you are building. The fact is only those God is saving are saved. For God it can never be an on and off relationship because He always knows our final outcome.
