    Here is what it all comes down to—- and you’d better get it right!

    I know this was early in the thread, and I appreciate you have had a history where the process was distorted and you were hurt... Even by family. But what do you disagree with amigo about? He laid out the correct procedure. Do you throw the baby out with the bathwater because some get it wrong?

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    That's a great god you believe in. He gives commands you can't obey, he condemns you to hell for disobeying, and calls it justice. Then if you want to obey you can't because the god you believe in says he doesn't want you to obey, he only wants your neighbor to obey. Your neighbor wants you to...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    One would think so... But can we think?

    The Last Trumpet

    We ought not confuse judgement with the execution of the sentence. Both different things and different times.

    The Last Trumpet

    So when you were baptized, did you stay under the water? The lowering of a person into water at baptism is a figure of Christ's death, and your participation in that death. You claim Christ finished His work for your salvation at Calvary, so that means the resurrection wasn't necessary. Sorry...

    How to defend the trinity?

    I fully agree that Jesus is God. Not because He's eternal, or because He's our Savior. But the best evidence for His deity is His Sonship. Like Father like Son.

    How to defend the trinity?

    Yeah. That's what the creeds say. In other words, the son isn't a son. God didn't beget a son, but who you call a son was according to you there all along... In other words, 'eternal'. That answers one question. Except that it's a lot deeper than that. Are you familiar with Daniel 2? Remember...

    When and why will God end our world?

    @marks The passage from Jude... KJV Jude 1:4-7 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you...

    The Last Trumpet

    So, according to your theological expertise there was no need for a resurrection, for the high Priest to enter into the sanctuary with the blood of the covenant... There was no need for Christ to minister as our High Priest... There was no need for Christ to minister as Mediator of the new...

    The Last Trumpet

    You are a hard case. You just jump right in there doubling down on your own theory without asking for any further information regarding what I wrote. Another infallible wannabe pope.

    The Last Trumpet

    And one more vital observation, all the above have direct implications regarding the second coming, the millennium, judgement and execution of the sentence, the cleansing of the sanctuary (see Leviticus 16), the binding of Satan, and his later loosing. All very interesting and absorbing topics...

    The Last Trumpet

    I think we would all agree that the OT sanctuary feast days and annual Sabbaths were a type of the coming gospel message of the NT. Even the sanctuary itself we are told was a copy of the heavenly, and the priesthood a copy of the ministry of Christ. We recognize from scripture that those feast...

    How to defend the trinity?

    The thing is, it was God, and not us, that adopted the Father/Son motif as a descriptive for the relationship within the Godhead, with the full understanding of how we as humans would understand that concept. A father begets a child. It is an act of generation. So God knew that when we read...

    Hegelian Dialectic at Work.

    The forces at work in the Hegelian conflict of the world today in battle to rule the world religiously and politically, are religious forces. To ignore, set aside, or bury this indisputable fact is to place oneself in danger of being enslaved by the very powers that you are seeking to avoid...

    Ruminations on all Things I could be Utterly Wrong About.

    I am a sucker for controversy. I love a good debate and a deep conversation over all matters that matter.

    How to defend the trinity?

    Those questions weren't the basis of John's arguments in refuting the heresies of God day. John's gospel and his 3 letters were written to give evidence of the deity of Christ, not because He was eternal, nor because He is Savior, but because He was God's Son. I could even ask a question of you...

    Methuselah - When did he die and why at that particular time

    Oh, I saw that alright. I simply don't think it's saying what you'd like it too.

    Methuselah - When did he die and why at that particular time

    I know precisely the point that the popular storytellers theorize regarding this topic. It's fanciful. It's gripping drama. It would make a terrific movie. And it's nonsense.

    Methuselah - When did he die and why at that particular time

    Mmm. So in order to fit the popular myth, sons of God are fallen angels. Right. And that threat fallen angels left their first estate (in heaven) God still considers them His children. And they took on flesh form... That must be scriptural right? I mean, you wouldn't just say that expecting...

    Methuselah - When did he die and why at that particular time

    And the theory that angels can procreate with women, is first am assumption that all angels are male, and second, that they have the prerequisite equipment. The entire theory is built on fabrications.
