    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    This whole idea of a Peace Treaty comes from Dan. 9:27 (which I personally think was fulfilled long ago). But there must be some peace agreement if they claim peace and safety.some time I'm the near future. Well, who is "they" in the scripture, " When they say peace and safety ..."? I would...

    How much is petrol/gasoline in your area?

    Iran's regime was very close to having a nuke. You don 't remember their chants, " Death to Israel", " Death to the USA"? Greed? War with Iran is not an act of greed. We aren't taking their oil - but maybe we should take a few billion barrels for our inconveniences? Rothchilds used to be...

    USA/IRAN/ISRAEL PEACE DEAL?

    For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thes. 5:3 Is this the one?

    How much is petrol/gasoline in your area?

    Read the Sunday and Monday news. What are the headlines? Big lie? You just hate Trump, no matter what he does that is good: close the borders, strengthen the economy, deport criminals, remove Maduro, a fascist dictor, rid Iran of the Ayatollah Khamenei and nuclear program, assisting in peace...

    How much is petrol/gasoline in your area?

    $3.35 gal. TEXAS A PEACE DEAL supposedly was signed last night by Iran. ?? By Mojtaba ... in hiding? Why doesn't he show himself? Was he injured, deformed or is he really alive? We'll see. Maybe Casper can tell us if he is alive or dead?

    Vision Of The Bees

    I don't think those were (bees in the dark cloud swarm approaching) in your vision. ?? "And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people...

    What is the difference between the soul and the spirit?

    @Armour of God We are: Body, soul and spirit. This view is called “Trichotomy”, where the soul and spirit are two distinct entities. The soul is said to be the mind, will, and emotions where we think and feel. Whereas the spirit gives us the ability to have an intimate relationship with God...

    What does loving your neighbor look like in today's world?

    Right, my generation always advised people to stay away from religion and politics... to be safe, and not open up a hornets nest. Liberal Methodist? Didn't Bill and Hillary claim that denomination? Wasn't the Methodist Church the first to accept Gay Pastors? This guy's probably a Left-winger...

    What does loving your neighbor look like in today's world?

    Probably because the victim was laying there _ beat up _ bloodied _ half dead _ in need of a doctor or else. It took him days to recover. LIfe and death situations are a bit different than giving to an addict. The money he gets supports his habit. I lived in Los Angeles area for 40 years. I...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    About 97% of Christians are NOT Calvinists and so don't need TULIP to guide us. We have the Holy Spirit. God gave us a rational mind too; to learn, know, love, seek truth and discern between good and evil. If we were totally depraved, we could not do any of that. Spiritually we are all born...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    I agree and I can do that while rejecting o TULIP. Predestination/ Election is sound - I just don't claim to know how God does this. He is sovereign, has a perfect plan and within that plan we are responsible. We are given knowledge of Good and Evil and we chose between them, we respond - but...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    I just gave you examples of scholars, who based on your prerequisite and conclusion that stated: " I would say that christians who reject Tulip have not studied Scripture well." Dr. Billy Graham didn't study scripture well? That is absurd and so us your claim! I am not an Armenian, I'm a...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    Really? Billy Graham, Norman Geisler, John Wesley, C.S. Lewis and other Notable PhD scholars who reject TULIP include: • Dr. Leighton Flowers: Director of Evangelism and Apologetics for Texas Baptists. He holds a PhD and operates Soteriology 101, a platform dedicated to refuting TULIP and...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    Though I respect J MacArthur and RC, I was saved and nourished in spirit filled churches. For instance, J.M. does not believe in the gifts of the Spirit, says they ceased b in the 1st Century. He's wrong. That's just one teaching. He never taught TULIP nor ever admitted fir most of his ministry...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    Oh, so Christians who don't accept TULIP just didn't dig deep enough... and therfore don't understand election or how grace works? I have studied under RC Sproul and John MacArthur, both Calvinists. Are you more educated than them? Spare me ... and no thanks. Those guys are usually my go to...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    I think TULIP is flawed. It is high minded, presumptuous, cold and simplistic ( as to reduce the sovereignty of God into a cute flowery acronym). Actually to be able to summarize something of this magnitude, one would have to be omniscient. God's Word is sufficient and then of course we have...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    Yes, okay Calvin did not himself create that acronym, the Reformed Church created after hus death, formalizing it and attributing it to his theology.

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    The Bible is the Word of God, Calvin's TULIP is not. It is commentary, a flawed perspective. You can value what he constructed, I don't need it. The Bible is sufficient and the Holy Spirit teaches us. Something just came to me. TULIP to some Christians is similar to the Midrash to Jews.

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    I understand that they are tied together. John MacArthur said, "Jesus's sacrifice is the "propitiation"—the satisfaction that turns away the wrath of God—which is the very mechanism that makes the "atonement" (our reconciliation) possible". I just am not an adherent of TULIP. I think Calvin's...

    The deadly consequences of denying limited atonement !

    How silly was the pain caused by someone else's sin against you. You experienced it, it hurt and may times you carries that pain with you for a long time. Did you forgive them immediately? Maybe you held a grudge. Were you laughing because it was silly? Eventually you forgave the sin, right...
