Nothing Jesus taught or practised was outside of the law and the prophets, hence orthodox. Jesus never once, as far as I am aware, condemned the rulers of His day with wrong teaching. But He did condemn them for their evil characters, their hypocrisy, and their behaviour and attitudes to...

I think that a lot of groups define their beliefs, not do much for themselves, but to answer the questions of others. Once a group gets started, and begins to grow, others start paying attention. They all questions. They start challenging what they see. The demand explanations. Hence creeds. The...

You guys do realise that the Antichrist is a Christian power right? Or at least, nominally. As prophecy indicates, the Antichrist, man of sin, etc, is seated within the temple----the church, He isn't attacking it from outside. So ask yourselves. What is the most likely scenario. A right wing...

Mm. So which church's doctrines are going to be legislated? Which church to receive power? What will that power mean for those who disagree with their political overtures? Even Christian dissenters from the popular orthodoxy...what will happen to them as they are concerned and charged...

My must humble apologies. Somehow, completely unbeknown to myself, I quoted you by mistake. My entire post was intended for @FaithWillDo . Again, my apologies. As for you, I commend you patience and your willingness to engage with him.

For the time being yes. Legislation that will support and empower the church will tear the constitution to shreds.

I'm sorry, but your theology and eschatology and mixed up scriptures reveal no pattern and no order. It's a hodge-podge and a confusion of truth and tragic error. I see no fruit coming from discussing any of it with you. What you need to do is start again. From scratch. Discard everything...

I don't think it's so black and white that we use the Bible as a weapon against others. I suppose I really can only speak for myself, but I like to think that I use the Bible to expose misconceptions concerning God's character. And that is the crux of the present discussion. The character of God...

I would love to see how you harmonize the above scripture with eternal torment.

Do they have to be set at variance with one another?

An unnecessary implication, and not from me. The very first major falling away in Christian history took place in Rome when the bishops of Rome stepped up to the vacant throne of the Caesars and took over the Civic duties and embraced the political power of the Empire. Over the ensuing...

Trump's theology seems to be the same as Christian Nationalism. In other words, evangelical Christianity and so called Pentecostalism are no longer in a position to fully trust God to establish righteousness and truth in the nation, therefore they must turn to politics and establish...

And I can quite truthfully and sincerely declare the same. But in preaching to others, you take such things several steps further. You add to that testimony declarations that are illogical and in your fear of what you call boasting, have brought dishonor upon the character of God to the point...

Mmmm. Even despite the fact that Pepin used the forgery to justify the theft of land on behalf of the papacy. This was in the 8th century, and was republished numerous times since. And despite the fact that the donation was a part of Gratian's contribution to Canon law 600 years later. And...

So you don't believe Satan is a real living personal being, a fallen angel, who hates Jesus with a vengeance and was the prime cause of the fall of mankind?

I agree. This world is utterly unique due solely to the magnificent grace and love of God manifested in the sacrifice of Jesus. I believe a party of our future will entail sharing that one self sacrificial aspect of God's character that will be unknown and not ever experienced by those who had...

That goes for you. Your own Calvinistic belief system was given to you by God to humble yourself when He reveals to you the truth. According to your own teaching.

Has Phoneman chosen his "works based belief system" or did God give it to him?

Since when has anyone boasted of their ability to open a free gift?

Aren't they free to believe in free will? Or did God exercise His free will in making them to believe in free will?
