This is false! My faith is in God alone for salvation and God's way of explaining what he does is called election. Please don't second guess me because you got it wrong this time. What is fate? It is 'the will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to...

Mungo, I agree. That's why I was seeking clarification of the OP. Terms do need to be explained. lOz

Mary, It can become confusing, can't it? We know that the Deuterocanonical Books (Apocrypha) were not included in the OT Hebrew canon. But they were added to the Septuagint, Greek translation of OT. So the Apocrypha is not regarded as canonical by those who spoke Hebrew in the OT era. That the...

Worthy, I'm not forgetting anything but wanting clarity on the nature of the OP. Yelling at me with enlarged letters brings no direction to this discussion. Oz

skypair, From which Bible have you read that 'God chose you = FATE'? In the Bible I read, God chose Christians = election/predestination (see Rom 8:28-30; 1 Pet 1:1-2). Oz

Questor, Ecumenism, Chrislam and other compromises of biblical Christianity will gain a hearing in any culture if evangelical Christians remain silent. I'd recommend a read of R Albert Mohler Jr's book, We Cannot Be Silent (2015 Nelson Books). While it particularly addresses the issues of...

Sword, The confusion seems to be yours. Paul through the inspiration of the Spirit did NOT say, 'You will all speak in tongues'. He said: 'Now I want you all to speak in tongues' (1 Cor 14:5 ESV). 'I want you all' does NOT MEAN, 'You will all'. The Greek language in I Cor 12:29 asks, 'Do all...

bbyr, I suggest that you Google Foucault, a postmodern, post-structural, deconstructionist. Foucault was one of the leading defenders of deconstructionism. You could start HERE. Oz

Thanks, lforrest, I contribute to 2 other forums and they each use XenForo software. I receive email notifications from each of them. If you use that software, it also should help with the format issues on this platform. Oz

Please defend that statement biblically! 'The woman in all of us'???????

Mungo, Is the Trinity 'plainly stated in the Bible'? do you believe in the Trinity? Oz

No, Webers_Home, that is not the inference at all. The direct statement from God himself is that when people speak in tongues they are personally edified. This is not an invention from human beings. This is coming from the inspired Scripture. How dare you impose on Scripture to make tongues =...

Richard, You didn't answer what I write about your labelling tongues as babble, which I find to be blasphemous. In the context of discussion of tongues in 1 Cor 12-14, God tells us: 'If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging...

Mungo, I'm having the same problems. No email notifications. I've sent a PM to one moderator seeking a response to this situation but no reply has been received. Surely an IT person associated with CyB should be able to tell me why this is happening when I've made no change to settings. Oz

Richard, 1 Cor 14:4 is in the inerrant Scripture. Scripture states that the person who speaks in tongues 'edifies himself' (NKJV) or 'a person who speaks in tongues is strengthened personally' (NLT). This is not extra-biblical revelation. This is Scripture. You don't like the fact that a...

Richard, Your claim is, 'So you see that I do not believe in the babble that some would call speaking in tongues'. I find the labelling of God's gift of tongues as babble to be blasphemous. Why? 'For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people...

Wormwood, In my understanding, your assumption is incorrect biblically that 'there is no justification (in my mind) that Paul is referencing a different gift than what the narratives of Acts 2 and 10 describe. There is one gift of tongues mentioned in the NT'. I disagree for these biblical...

tabletalk, 1 Cor 14:2 makes the purpose of tongues clear: 'For if you have the ability to speak in tongues, you will be talking only to God, since people won’t be able to understand you. You will be speaking by the power of the Spirit, but it will all be mysterious' (NLT). When I speak in...

1,000 faulty Pontiacs do not make all Pontiacs defective.

Why are you evading dealing with the biblical evidence? Brushing it aside like this is not engaging in a reasonable discussion on the topic.
