Correct. There are two branches of science: 1. Operational science, which is how the universe works. This can be accomplished by observation and laboratory experiments. 2. Historical science, such as forensic science, archaeology, historical accounts, etc. This is based on historical...

:p:p:p Evolutionists are monkeying around with the facts.

Correct. Jesus gave His teaching to the "lost sheep of Israel". He was preparing them for the future gospel to be preached involving His finished work on Calvary and His resurrection from the dead. He told His disciples that there were more things for them to learn but they could not receive...

It's not a matter of trusting our free will at all. I trust in what God has said in His Word, through Moses, the prophets, Jesus, Paul, Peter, James, John, the Apostle to the Hebrews, and Jude. I freely will to do that. In fact I don't trust in myself at all, because as Paul said in 2...

What!! Are you saying that the translation team which included the best Greek and Latin scholars in the world at the time did not know enough Greek to make a viable translation?? Laughable! :p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p

Both are entirely true. They follow the "now but not yet" principle. We can have assurance of salvation now as the title deed of our inheritance in Christ. It is the seal of the Spirit that assures us of the final possession of our salvation when Jesus comes again.

The best of British luck on that! I'm not sure you know what you are asking of the poor guy. Arminius wrote three volumes of his works, each being 450 pages in 17th Century language. You can download them as PDF files and wade through them yourself if you are that concerned.

If man is not given the freedom to choose his own future, then he is deprived of free choice, and is then no longer responsible for his actions. That means that when he stands before God in the judgment, he can quite rightly say, "I am not guilty, because you forced me to do all the things I...

You need to go back and edit your post and correct the error in your last quote instruction. You put /QUOTE/ instead of /QUOTE in the square brackets.

I am not saying that Calvin or Arminius were right in everything they said. After all, if according to the Scripture we know only in part (partial knowledge), none of us can say that any of us are perfectly correct in our theological views. We are influenced by our mentors and the way we read...

Oh come on! You are like my younger brother who upsets the chess board when he knows he's losing! You are showing a lack of understanding concerning God's nature and character. God loves righteousness and hates evil, so how can He ordain evil and sin and the resultant suffering in the world...

Here is a very interesting article which examines the origin of humanity based on genetics. It takes a bit of reading, but i think it gives a good picture of genuine genetic research, and its conclusions, and also the reasons why any genetic research that supports creationism over evolution is...

It is not as clear as that. I didn't see that in his first 450 page volume of his works. I think that is one of the lies that was put about concerning his theology. From what I read from his own works, he certainly preaches a grace-based gospel without a doubt! It is just that he puts his...

The problem is that when the church itself follows the lead of the universities teaching liberalism and attacking the Bible, it is alienating the young people they are trying to attract. In my Presbyterian church when I was living in Auckland, the plea was "Why aren't we attracting the young...

I have read right through Calvin's Institutes, and I can't see any reference where he taught that God ordained the fall of man. I think there is a difference between what Calvin himself taught and what his subsequent followers taught. I was thinking about the Calvinism/Arminianism debate. I...

It is just that Arminius saw things from a different perspective. Actually, he was more consistent with the Scripture than Calvin, more tolerant of those who disagreed with him, and live a more holy lifestyle. I read the first 450 page volume of his works and saw nothing that was inconsistent...

I don't know about all that. I just take the word of the Person who was there, and I just believe what He says. Unless you accept the literal text of the Bible that forms the basis of my world view, and I am not going to compromise it with the word of man, then we are not on the same page, and...

I could provide a whole room full of PhD geneticists, and geologists to prove by scientific evidence of what I am saying, but you will find a way of discrediting each one. That is understandable, because you are adamant in your belief and no matter what evidence is produced, you will be blind...

If evolutionists choose to ignore Genesis 1, then they would have absolutely no knowledge of how the universe was formed, and so they can only guess at it. The Bible never uses "species" in the sense that evolutionists use. It separates different classes of organisms into their different...
