Who teaches that gospel to new converts to "Come and receive Jesus as your Savior but don't worry, you don't have to change your lifestyle, you can keep your ways and sin it up!" Who teaches that? Belief in Christ means you know Him (at least partially enough to trust Him), take Him seriously...

The gospel goes out to many that don't receive it. Like the Sower of the Seed, some falls in rocky or shallow soil and doesn't take root. That isn't our fault. We are told to witness and minister awhile and if they the don't listen, brush the dirt off our sandals and move on. We don't know who...

I do not believe true Christian ministries are reaponsible for any reprobate's destruction! Evil begets evil. A born again Christian has God guiding him and has prepared good works for him to do. The lost are lost, not by our doing.

You must be omniscient and omnipresent and exhausted - take a day off.

Proverbs 16:4 – "The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble." "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jer. 1:5 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you...

About Ezek. 21, God sends a message through Ezekiel (addressed as the son of man or mortal man, human): That He will draw his sword (through the King of Babylon) and attack Israel and the Ammorites. God is furious with Israel so they will be punished and many will die. Everyone will be punished...

I can't speak for Christians in general. I don't know how many are saddened or angry. I do think Christian organizations are sending charitable aid. But as we have heard in the last couple years, the news does not always report truth. It is mixed with lies and so we don't know what is going on...

Taking a swipe at the entire Church that consists of 2.65 billion and making a broad brush smear on it is kind of absurd. Have you interviewed and tested each individual of their knowledge of the Old Testament? God's Word is the entire Bible. The gospel message is concealed in the Old Testament...

We plant seeds that lie dormant. The seeds planted in my Mom's rebellious heart took thirty years to germinate. We just don't when they will come. We don't know what God is doing in their lives nor how much more that needs to be done to prepare their hearts. Some come to God in their death bed -...

I think eternal relationships are rewards, especially if we had something to do with their salvation. I just don't think the 1 Cor. 3 passages refer in any way to reprobates as being some of our contributive works. Here I would defer to the scholarly commentary of RC Sproul that I shared over...

Works whether good or not are not people. God elects, calls, converts, edifies, justifies and glorifies. That passage is talking about rewards we get for Christians witnessing, ministries, etc., our cooperation with His work of creating new creatures. I think you are misunderstanding the...

Right. By their fruit you will know them. The love of God grows and shines through. If you have no faith in Christ, His live won't shine through you. We participate and cooperate with His plan. Thise who ha e been given much faith, like Billy Graham for instance accomplish much. Onbiously he'll...

I think we are. At no other time in history has the entire world been on forced mandates. We are being controled by lies and fear - exactly how Satan works. Many countries are forcing vaccines which have been shown to be deadly. Pestilence, famine, wars and earthquakes are the signs revealed...

There are several stories about the origin of this word, and the traditions that have evolved throughout the generations. Regardless of what some may think, all Christians know what it means, aside from all the other distractions that have nothing to do with Christ: the bunny*, the eggs*, the...

Satan is the Father of lies always giving people doubts about their faith. It's sad that he has this effect on Christians. Fear is the opposite of faith. In Christ is the Light and there is no darkness. Those who do not have certainty about His promise, have weak faith. Like being out at sea in...

That is funny. The idea that Satan loves anything is an oxymoron. God is LOVE. Satan is void of love, therefore cannot love. He hates all mankind. Those who turn to God for forgiveness and believe that Jesus died for our sins and rose on the third day will be saved. Jesus promises that if we...

In context of the chapter it seems that the "keeping" His commandments implies that you possess them in your heart. Isn't it a present participle? The commandments translate as LOVE. If we have love in our hearts, we possess His LOVE which is all a gift. He is the Author of our faith, which...

Ah, it seemed like the work of a theologian. Dr. Albert Garner - just read about his life. He got a "Well done good and faithful servant" from Jesus - I'm sure. Still to understand all the tenses you have to be educated, at least with a few years of exegesis of your own. I can't see devoting...

I like that exegesis for a change. I can't do it. I just have faith in the numerous translations labored over by hundreds of brilliant scholars throughtout the centuries. I use a half dozen major ones, even YLT. Your topic brought a few things to mind right off and you mentioned it, Romans 8:16...

I offered my kidney to my Dad and he said no, everyone around me said no too, that he was too old (80). He had other problems too and it might not have taken. He died a few years later. Many have given their lives for family and country willingly. I think the only way you can is if you believe...
