    1st problem with O.S.A.S.

    Oh please, Do you not know what faith is? You use it to identify yourself with, "Theefaith". Hebrews 11:1 tells you. It is a certainty of what Jesus promised, salvation, if you believe in Him. Aren't you sure of this faith, a gift, not earned? These are all identification qualities of the...

    Being 'Born Again'

    Wouldn't you say that when someone is born again, they not only are made a new creature, but also receive the Holy Spirit at the same time? Being in Christ is being born again. Spiritually one could not be in Christ otherwise.

    Being 'Born Again'

    Imputed shouldn’t be that difficult to understand. Sin was imputed to us through Adam. >To ascribe to and possessed by someone by virtue of another’s act. Justification is this very thing. Justified means pronounced righteous. We are granted His righteousness by His Grace. We are washed...

    Being 'Born Again'

    I would agree with: #1 (but I suspect you are not sure of how or when this happens, or if it has happened to you; #2 (the first part - but then you add this resentment and lack of humility with the Body of Christ, whom God uses to participate in the salvation process by orchestrating his...

    Are you predestined or did you make a choice?

    Unlike Calvinists believe, in Irresistble Grace, I beleve that God draws all men to Himself but many resist. The ones that do come were chosen to begin with. They are His sheep and so to be fair, He draws all, but many do not answer the call. No, He died for the sins of thw world, but if you do...

    Are you predestined or did you make a choice?

    "Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?" Rom. 9:21 Let us think about what a devine plan for the world involves. God makes a perfect plan and for a perfect plan to work, he needs all the people on earth and events...

    Seven Basic Bible Facts (3)!

    Actually, just reading through Luther's 95 Theses, I realize I do not agree with much of it. These issues concerned Purgatory, the Pope, indulgences, etc. This I suppose led to a schism in the Church. I'll have to retract my statement that Luther was sent by God. But your continuous arguments...

    Seven Basic Bible Facts (3)!

    Just say a few Hail Mary's and ask some of the Saints for guidance. Look into the sky, she may appear to you in a cloud and give you your answer. This may take a few years though ... be patient!

    Seven Basic Bible Facts (3)!

    Grace ambassador is trying to share 7 facts about the Bible. The teaching is only on #3 and already you are insisting on over-riding and derailing the OP before it is even finished. Let it go to completion, give it some space and then you can add a Hail Mary or two. It is Protestant viewpoint...

    Seven Basic Bible Facts (2)!

    All scripture is the divinely inspired revelation from God even concerning the eye witnesses. I understand the distinctiveness of Pauline scripture, but it's all inspired word for word directed by the Holy Spirit, bringing remembrance for one and pure revelation to another. Revelation was...

    Who is Jesus to a Non-Trinitarian?

    Furthermore, scholars have claimed that Jesus is on every page of the Bible. (Michael btw is on 5 pages). That makes sense. Since Jesus is the WORD (logos), the exact expression of God, in the fullness of Grace and Glory, the Light of the world, the CREATOR (Col. 1:16-17), the Author of our...

    William Barclay on “The Father and I are one.”

    William is just another lump of clay that God fashioned for the purpose of adversity. He even named him William the "bar of clay".

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    Both- Avoid participation, and expose the evil. Realize how Satan works to lead people astray and corrupt their minds, even possessing them. False religions and philosophies abound. It is good to learn about all these things so you can warn others. Satan's purpose is to lead people away from...

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    What does the statement, " Satanism certainly needs to be avoided" mean to you?

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    Satanism certainly needs to be avoided, but exposed as well. You don't hide from evil or sweep it under the carpet, you expose it, shine a light on the darkness and walk with the LORD, Who will watch over and protect you. GOD wants us to discern evil from good. The knowledge of evil helps us to...

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    That's just too bad Barney because Holt will give you a bolt ... and sometimes even a jolt. If you don't believe in Holt it's just an insult!

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    I see both ways. Man begets man. Animal begets animal. God begets God. Begotten means giving birth to, born of the same nature. Jesus is the God/man, of two natures, one created and one eternal. Upon His resurrection, the Father said "today I have begotten you". His physically dead body came to...

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    In John 3:3, Jesus said you must be born again to see the kingdom of heaven, born from above. It is a spiritual transformation. But you are confused about spirituality: your spirit, the HOLY SPIRIT, WHO when you are born from above dwells in you. Or do you nit KNOW that Christians arw the TEMPLE...

    Should members need to disclose their denomination?

    Begotten means Jesus was physically born. God became flesh ans dwelt among us. So Jesus spirit was not born. Colossians 1:16, 17 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or...

    Fundamentalist Christianity is fear-based?

    There are hundreds of radio and TV frequencies broadcasting that are invisible and inaudible to our eyes and ears. Are you separated from them? Unless a child _ who is not aware of them _ is equipped with a device to receive the signals, to him, they do not exist. You are mot equipped to recive...
