A talking point is useless without evidence to back it up. It's like the irresponsible and unemployed young folks getting behind a BLM protest, holding up signs, marching and clanging their cymbals; but when asked what it is all about, spew out superficial ignorant phrases, attacking others...

I believe that is the message humanity is supposed to receive ... whosoever. Yes, propitiation for the whole world is a very deep concept. What I am saying is that predestination (election), the foreknowledge of God is a valid doctrine, but mysterious. It shouldn't be labeled, packaged and...

You still haven't shown us where this is attached to the Gospel message? Let me help. As I mentioned, the "gospel" is summarized in this passage: "Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand, by which also you are...

Well, the disciples were taught to spread the Gospel. Where in scripture was limited atonement attached to that message? The crucial question is: Do we believe that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose on the third day according to the scriptures ... or not? Who else or how many will be...

Holy means separate. God separates us from the curse of sin. But we cannot continue to satisfy the lust of the flesh, we must mortify it, die to it. This means being obedient, cooperating with Him. He is doing a work in us, sanctifying us. "Be perfect as your Father ...". That seems impossible...

It's like a catch 22. Christ died for the sins of the entire world. His act, sufficient to cover all and power sufficient to take awy all; YET, His free gift of salvation is only offered to those who believe and ask for forgiveness. You must receive the gift. And so technically the blood of...

You just proved my point. The Father draws all men to Himself, but most resist and rebel. His sheep hear the call, experience His drawing power to the Word, He enables and persuades them AND THEN THEY COME AND SAY YES. We aren't able to jumpstart that spiritual enlightening process that He...

After His death and resurrection, yes. And again, Jesus says, "no one comes to me unless the Father draws them". That means we are first spiritually drawn by His power (Word, inner and outer calling, people He sends, experiences and eventsnleading up to that moment) before we can make a...

Didn 't say that. Satan does that, when God gives them over, let's them go. I Saif God leads His sheep prior to their salvation. No He did not! You do notnunderstand the Doctrine of Election. We are chosen by God. He chose us first. We cannot remove the spiritual veil of blindness to see. He...

No you weren't, God had a plan for you. He has foreknowledge, knowledge of tue future. You are written in the Book of Life until he blots you out - he did not. His plan to save His sheep is foolproof. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out...

So you think your life before you were saved had absolutely no purpose? You seem to dismiss the Sovereignty of God, who has purpose for everyone and everything - that he knows before we are born. Didn't Pharoah or Nebuchadnezzar have purpose? Judas had purpose too. Satan and His demons have a...

God is sovereign! He uses unbelievers as well to accomplish His purposes. One purpose _ in India _ during Gandhi's life _ may have been peace along with justice. Our purpose in life is to be reconciled to God through Christ. But also, to know the difference between "Good and Evil" as God...

Just did a search on your posts concerning the Sabbath - 10 pages of posts. Oh, the SDA's, never ending Sabbath obsessions ... even to the point of insisting Jesus died on the Sabbath! How is that 3 days then? The funny thing, by God's standards, you couldn't keep the Sabbath holy. 256 Sabbath...

The Son rose at sunrise ... what is your problem with that? Mary head there when it was still dark, early dawn. Likely they didn't live close to the tomb. Dawn is 30 minutes or so. I walk about 1 mile in 20 min. Likely the tomb was further and by the time she got there, the sun had risen. Very...

Get real. Who do you know or see or hear people mention or see advertisements even about sun worship on Easter??? Are you a Jehovah Witness? SDA? The Day Jesus rose from the dead is the most important day in history! We do not worship the sun, we worship the SON OF GOD. Question: Do you...

You can celebrate the Resurrection everyday of your life! I was just pointing out the annual holiday/ feast day that was celebrated for centuries.

The word "Easter" likely comes from the Proto-Germanic word "austron", which meant dawn. Only English and German use the name Easter. Most other countries of Latin origin use Pascha, which means passover. Nevertheless, Jesus rose on the third a day. My church refers to it as Resurrection Day...

2 Peter 3:10 is one event, a moment in time, when the 1st heavens, 1st earth, Death, Hades and everyone in it are destroyed....talk about a BiG Bang!

Actually the correct translation is "for ages and ages". Think about itnif that word meant eternity, it would tra slate for eternity and eternity. Aionios has variable meanings. When applied tjntemporal realms _ that will someday pass away _ it means ages, lifetimes, generations. When applied to...
