If this were true, universalism would be correct doctrine.

Definitely worth it's own thread. I think the long and short of it is they don't heave ears to hear - until now, the end times. It's my understanding that there are more Messianic Jews now than ever before. This is prophecy being fulfilled right before our eyes.

The point does not hinge on earning ones salvation but verses like Hebrews 10:26 if we deliberately continue sinning after we have received knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice that will cover these sins. If OSAS were true, such verses would not exist.

I never thought I'd see the day. https://www.newsmax.com/us/frank-pravone-pope-francis-prolife/2022/12/18/id/1101009/ I grew up being taught that the RCC stands for tradition, of orthodoxy. I guess being quite about baby killing is the new age in thing these days. So sad. Thoughts?

Your world view does not allow a rational answer to the question. Our conversation ends with your denying the difference between faith and denomination. Make a blessed day.

That’s where we disagree. Have a good day.

Then you live in denial. Throughout this conversation you keep changing the subject. In this case from ‘Christian nation’ to ‘God's Kingdom.’

No, it doesn’t mean his Spirit is everlasting at all. The whole reason Jesus had to be baptized with God’s Spirit is because Jesus did not have it before that moment.

What verse in Scripture says that again?

You keep incorrectly using the term faith when it is denomination. The Scriptural support abounds. The entire ministry of Paul is a clear denomination, with a mandate to focus on the Gentiles. While he interacted little with the Apostles who actually walked with Jesus, he corrected them when...

Further evidence to consider for those who deny America is a Christian nation.

We are lost! Western Civilization is over.

With all due respect, you are changing the word of God to fit your doctrine. There is no "when" in Acts 2:36. God made Jesus both lord and Christ. Period. Simple. God's words are 'of God' and therefore, have his authority, the authority of a god. If you want to speculate as to when, it really...

Proliferating Christian denominations do not leave the faith; they leave congregations or denominations. A church a friend goes to almost lost a beloved preacher due to staff in-fighting. It is my understanding, during this tumultuous time, he put out feelers to start a new congregation in a...

Hmmm ... I don't know. I am certainly a Catholic apostate. And certainly a trinitarian apostate, as I think you could be also. However, I would not say self-identified Christians are apostate, by definition. Rather, I'd say my favorite Al Sharpton quote; they speak the light as far as they have...

1st, did I reference this? 2nd, the reference to this has nothing to do with what I posted. 3rd, have you taken up my 30-day challenge? If not, don't ever talk about science on this forum again.

Only 3 verses? Also, I think the counselor is confounding things that are separate AS IF what is subjectively important to a person is or ought to be objectively valued equally by by all. So, while I consider ethics objective, it is individual in application. So, regarding the Bible, it is not...

Pure fiction. The geometric analysis of the shroud, which shows numerous images through time, including movement of the foot, chest, and coins has nothing to do with magic. The DNA informational content being 4D, whereas humans can only communicate code in 2D has nothing to do with magic. The...

Rationalization. Of course firstborn of all creation means first created thing. Simple words, plainly spoken. To suppose otherwise is to suppose God is speaking in riddles, in violation of Mark 7:13 and 2 Cor 1:13 (VOICE) We are not writing to you in anything resembling codes or riddles. This...

I don't recall. However, I know it is from cultural evolution. Did I ever tell you the story of my friends' wife from South Korea? He lived in Boston and when she moved there, she went to a Korean Christian Church. I'm certain it was not due to the set of doctrines but her cultural comfort...
