Yes, a discipline is involved, based on doctrine. Joh 19:38 After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus.

Perish the thought that programmed service attendance exemplifies discipleship.

You could ask what Calvinists think about those whom God takes vengeance on.

Dear Reader, here are some points to note about Divine Vengeance: This world is fallen, cursed, and marked for destruction. Only those God chooses to be merciful to can escape His Vengeance. God is always righteous in His Judgment, whether to mercy or to punishment. The punishment of those...

Yes, if you have read much on this subject you will know some terms and categories apply. Newton and Einstein both had "acute" psychoses brought on by brief escalations in stress, from which they readily recovered. A "chronic" sufferer of psychoses has long periods and multiple episodes of...

Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein both had so-called mental breakdowns. It seems mental equilibrium is affected by too much of one thing and not enough of another.

Simeon gave an accurate account of what we know has been absolutely fulfilled. Those who reject Christ do fall and are ruined. Those who accept Him are raised and are saved from ruin. I really do like the description of Christ as a sign . . . a lot is to be said about this.

I have yet to meet anyone apart from Christ who is a perfect person. There is a school of thought among Christians that because Christ has forgiven all our sins therefore we are perfect, but this equates forgiveness of sins to sinless perfection, which is a fallacious conclusion that defies...

It excludes any extra contribution of works. Joh 17:1-4 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, (2) as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as...

Hi devin. A lady with a very young daughter started attending a fellowship I was attached to, and I noticed she looked washed out and nervous so I befriended her and she said she was a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic and on high doses of antipsychotic medication. Within minutes of...

Then there are those deluded cults that believe only those who observe Saturday as "the Sabbath" are saved, as if mere observance of a special day trumps faith in the finished work of Christ on the Cross.

Act 16:3 Paul wanted to have him [Timothy] go on with him. And he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.

Paul wasn't too keen on circumcision either. Gal 6:14-15 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (15) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new...

The record speaks for itself, so any argument is redundant. 28 Now late on the sabbath day, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

Yes, especially the "through faith" part.

Gal 5:18 But if you be led of the Spirit, you are not under the law. It couldn't be plainer, and yet many stumble.

Hi Marc, As you may know, the OT religious practises serve as signposts to the NT lifestyle. Eph 5:6-11 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. (7) Be not you therefore partakers with them. (8) For you...

Carolus Linnaeus, also known as Carl von Linne or Carl Linnaeus, was born on May 23, 1707 in the southern Swedish province of Smaland. His father, Nils Linnaeus, was a Lutheran pastor with an interest in gardening. It was probably in his father's garden that Carolus' love and enthusiasm for...
