    Is my salvation based upon my knowledge of the Trinity?

    The link I used in Angelina's post took me back to the beginning of the thread with the number 32497/ perhaps that is why it didn't work. I tried the one in your post but got an error.

    Is my salvation based upon my knowledge of the Trinity?

    The link worked for me. Grailhunter did the right thing. He labelled his thread, Grailhunter's Corner, and wrote an excellent mini book which I read with great interest and pleasure. I think our friend should have done the same. Actually, long mini Ebooks should be in the blog section where...

    Is my salvation based upon my knowledge of the Trinity?

    As I posted in my previous post - Neither Peter or Paul preached theology or doctrine to unconverted Jews or Gentiles. Paul was quite clear to the Corinthians when he described his first visit to Corinth to plant the church there, that he determined not to know anything among them except Christ...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Even the controversy about Genesis 1-3 is irrelevant to the invitation that a person is encouraged to put their trust in the finished work of Christ on Calvary. That is what saves a person and causes them to be born again of the Spirit of God. Once a person is converted to Christ, then the...

    Is my salvation based upon my knowledge of the Trinity?

    True. There are difficult issues in the Bible that can be unravelled only by converted believers, and this includes the trinity. Peter's and Paul's preaching of the gospel is centred in Christ, and total trust in the finished work of Christ is the narrow gate to salvation. The trinity is...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Ken Ham's book "Creation Evangelism" is full of quoted testimonies of Christian people who had their faith destroyed by Theistic Evolution, and had it restored through Creation Evangelism materials. Although you may not going along with Ken Ham, you can't really call the hundreds of people who...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Just stop associating those words with the "you" statements and I will stop objecting to them.

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Is Theistic Evolution good for Christianity? My answer is NO! There are thousands of reports from all over the world from members of churches that have preached Theistic Evolution, that it has totally destroyed their faith in the authority of the Bible, and therefore has corrupted their faith...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    You are getting to the borderline between fair debate and flaming, and making personal flaming comments are against the rules of the forum. So you will need to step back from the "you" comments, because the issue is in the "light bulb" and not in either you or me. I am not flaming you by...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Well, you don't believe in Christianity, because you are agnostic and therefore take the position that no one can know for sure whether it is true or not. You are not an atheist, so you don't have the "there is no God" belief. So your belief system must be "no one can really know for sure"...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    You are forgiven. A lot of people spell my name wrong. When I give my name I usually have to spell it out for them, and sometimes make the joke that I am offended if anyone spells my name the Norwegian way. The Swedish version is "Christenson" which is another way that people try to spell it...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    But you have your belief system just the same as evolutionists, creationists and atheists. Your belief system involves that no one can know certainly one way or the other about anything.

    Is this good for Christianity?

    But you are an agnostic, so how can you know any of this? I know that you don't want to provide any proof of evolution because you know full well that there is none that can prove that it is a science, and anything more than just a belief system.

    Is this good for Christianity?

    For a start, you need to get the spelling of my name right! :-) You have labelled me as Norwegian! My ancestors are Danish if you don't mind! :cool: Yes, during the lock-down, and being over 70, I am stuck at home in my house, which is a very attractive and comfortable home, just a...

    Thinking your way into perdition

    What often happens is that a lying demon will put thoughts into your mind and trick you into believing that they are thoughts from your own heart. It will do this to derail your faith. Therefore if you are not aware of what is happening, you will then fall into doubt, and then that same lying...

    Is this good for Christianity?

    Being an agnostic, which means that you are saying you don't really know either way, I can't see how you can be so definite that I am wrong, and that the sources I am quoting are wrong, because by your own definition, you can't really know whether I and my sources are right or wrong. Therefore...

    Are You Free From The Law?

    The law's function is to reveal our sin and is our tutor to lead us to Christ. Once we have put our trust in Christ the law has fulfilled it's role and no longer has any crucial role in our salvation. But once saved, we forsake the works of the flesh and order out subsequent conduct according...

    Are You Free From The Law?

    If a person says he is a Christian and continues in willful sin of any kind, he is nothing more than a hypocrite. There is a difference between struggling with temptation through the weakness of the flesh, and deliberately and knowingly breaking the Ten Commandments when able not to.

    Are You Free From The Law?

    You will be judged for being a thief, just like in any court of law, and you will be sentenced for theft, regardless of how much you give to charity. Would you call a criminal court judge for convicting and sentencing the thief? I guess not, especially if you were the victim of the theft. I...
