Vexatious ambition - I've known a few cases of it. The result can be disastrous.

. . . and there will be considerable disagreement about whomever the man of sin really is until the great apostasy culminates in all the boxes being ticked. 2Th 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is...

Ahh, those wonderful hours engrossed in God's Word. There are various study methods. Teachers in the body of Christ are, indeed ordained by Him, and our own studies help us to discern whether the Word is being treated by an approved method and in an approved manner. 1Corinthians11:19 For...

In the past I have been involved with In-Home Ekklesias, and even though that time was God-ordained and full of learning, I have strong reservations about what passes for authentic worship, fellowship, and ministry where they are concerned. Enough to say In-Home Ekklesia has caused me more...

Stars and lampstands in Revelation are the first symbols Jesus Himself interprets for John on Patmos. They establish the entire interpretive framework for the book. In Revelation 1, the stars are the church’s messengers and the lampstands are the churches themselves. Christ holds the stars in...

Coherency is only possible if sensory information is present. Creation Causality precedes sensory information, as does space location and time duration. Without Creation Causality, Space Location, and Time Duration there can be no Presence Revelation available to anyone as Sensory Information...

Which leads to questions on the origin of nature itself, which the Bible answers. Here are some brief discussion points appropriate for a prescribed Christian forum. The Bible presents the origin of nature as the direct, intentional creation of God, brought into existence by His word, sustained...

Freewill and predestination are not paradoxical to me, but elements of the same construct, as follows:

Creation Causality is a problem for Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, Stephen Hawking and their ilk.

Can you elaborate, please.

There's a lot more to the Christian faith than your position. Complete assurance of salvation is a wonderful state of grace to be in. I hope you will be humble enough to receive it. Heb 4:16 Therefore let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in...

No I'm not. Look at your original post.

It is the very essence of humility to admit that Christ's sacrificial death is sufficient to save us from the following: 1. The Penalty of Sin Christ’s once‑for‑all sacrifice removes the penalty we deserved. His death fully atones for sin and secures eternal redemption. Verse: Romans 8:1...
