Ok, this is going in a circle. Count me out.

See you got defensive! lol 1. Go back to the Greek word and translate straight to English. No need for a middle word. For example the Greek word μετανοέω = repent in English. Not μετανοέω = metanoeó....What are going to do with metanoeó? metanoeó is subjective and open to debate. Many of the...

Thanks for responding. There are a few on the forum that dabble with ancient languages. You should spend a little time up at The Center for Hellenic Studies. Depending on the timing they have some pretty interesting guest speakers. I am saying this with a smile on my face and humor...the whole...

Our judgment is just because the Father and Christ are with us in the judgment. Thanks JBF...You probably need to expand upon that, but you know what, I think that might be an interesting thread. Any Christian concept, belief, or doctrine should be put in motion to see if it makes any sense. Is...

The Shack is just a show...not intended to be Gospel and you can expand on the habitual sin thing, but I am going to assume, that you do not mean, that one instance of fornication will be unforgivable and you go to hell or that a lifetime of fornication is as likely to be forgiven. The reason I...

Acts 9:13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem; Acts 9:32 Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda. Act 9:41 And he gave her his hand and raised her...

Are you a saint? What is a saint? It might surprise you? The Catholic definition of saint includes four cardinal virtues: prudence, temperance, fortitude and justice; Sinlessness would be a good thing. If a person displays these qualities in a consistent and exceptional way. Then there is an...

Redemption Romans 3:24-25 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins...

You'll have to forgive my active sense of humor....when people get this way, I turn to humor. But then what is left in this thread.....labeling, name calling, accusations, and for what? My point with the Protestants is that we can always find ways to condemn, give them negative labels, and call...

Justification was a little involved...the rest of the elements I will go over tomorrow. And then move on from there to how these scriptures harmonize. How long have they been battling over these scriptures?..that in itself is interesting. How late are you going to be up?

Have no idea....I think it is a comic internet god....it got some attention....just funny.

I am telling you some of that is a joke.....ever heard of the spaghetti monster god?

With what actually took place following the death of the last of the Apostles. While they were alive and were on the seen they were able to keep the Church pretty much clear of deceptive teachings, but “while men slept” (that is when the last of these died, Matt 13:25) the spirit of antichrist...

Its a joke.......I believe flying saucers

We will get into the chicken before the egg later.....ok
