    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    That reminds me of a Christian apologetics principle I studied that states their is no common ground between a genuine Christian and a non-Christian. That doesn't mean they have to be at each other's throats but it does mean there is no neutral position for a Bible-believer, a genuine...

    What is the purpose of infant baptism?

    The ban reduces the inevitable Trinitarian arguments that bring forums down. Other forums have regulated how the subject of the Trinity can be discussed. If a site affirms belief in the Trinity in its Statement of Faith those who are non-Trinitarian should respect that when joining and not stir...

    Lucifer the once beautifully arrayed angel... explain please!

    That's "cornflakes theology". Here's the real deal Jud 1:4 For certain men crept in secretly, those having been of old previously written into this condemnation, ungodly ones perverting the grace of our God for unbridled lust, and denying the only Master, God, even our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Here, grab hold: 2Co 11:4 For if, indeed, the one coming proclaims another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you never accepted, you might well endure these . Gal 1:9 As we said before, and now I say...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so." I simply don't believe Jesus contradicts what the Bible records of Him. Copilot Quote: Gnosticism emerged in the late 1st century AD among Jewish and early Christian sects. These groups...

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    I believe the closed canon points to continuism, as opposed to ceasationism. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. That's on loop for repeating as often as required. All through the Bible the exhortation is to hear what God says. It's a major issue for those...

    See, keeping you sharp. I believe the closed canon points to continuism, as opposed to ceasationism. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    I pray about everything and regularly receive Divine Revelation, particularly about how to solve problems, even ones like Maria.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Not to me it doesn't. It just means enough God-breathed communication is captured in written form by which to compare all things. 2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

    There is only one true church

    My post stated as much. History shows things going so awry that a distinction had to be made between the early Christian assemblies and the pagan state religion of the Roman Empire that later assimilated Christianity, portrayed in Revelation as one of the heads of the beast from the sea.

    There is only one true church

    Amen. Catholic but Not Roman, or Anglo-Catholic as Anglicans are sometimes described. Sent by you: Meaning and etymology of catholic Certainly! The term “catholic” has a rich...

    Where did Christian Universalism come from? - New or old?

    They are often personified. Ask me why. Hos 13:14 I will ransom them from the power of Sheol.I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? “Compassion will be hidden from my eyes. 1Co 15:55 “Death, where is your sting? Hades, where is your...

    I prefer the Bible version, Lake of Fire and all.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Such a claim needs to be tested. It may just be outside your knowledge of the Bible.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    Quite often critics use arguments from the very source they are arguing against. That God is willing and able to work anywhere is a Biblical principle which doesn't need any extra-Biblical source to validate it.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    That doesn't negate the Bible canon, in fact it proves it. Heb 4:12-16 For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the...

    Media Empire Causing Terror

    We should expect and discern media harlotry as a product of Mystery Babylon the Great, its mother.
