I don't agree that our walk with the Lord is effortless and "exercising faith in the finished fact of the Cross" is not the way to deal with sin. (Ive tried it because I was taught that way too.) We have to resist the devil. (James 4:7) And sometimes its tough. Hebrews 12:4 says Ye have not yet...

What's an amusing headline you'll not likely see in the news? I think Ive got one: Feminists Agree: To be pro-woman, support stay-at-home-Moms.

True. There is a lack of balance on God's role and our responsibility. I was just reading through that thread last night when I fell asleep. I didn't make it all the way through. Maybe I will today.

Goodnight! Thanks your input!

Jane Eyre is a great one. When I was growing up, I was always reading. I do need to read Little Women. I feel like I slowed down reading after my college days. After that, I mainly read articles or fanfiction. I want to get back into the habit of finishing books. I want to learn about...

I have friends from the U.K so I picked up a book called The Story of Britain by Rebecca Fraser. I think I had too many books at the time so I didn't finish but Id love to try and tackle more books like that one to learn more history and culture. I love Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters. I...

I have never traveled outside of the U.S. But I would like to learn more about cultures around the world and also the views of non U.S natives have of U.S culture. I'd love to hear especially from believers from other nations. I have learned much of what I know from Youtube videos. But I...

I think Paul gives his reason in these verses: 1 Timothy 2:12 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. This...

Titus 3:8 King James Version 8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. I don't see good works being affirmed constantly today. I...

Welcome to the forums, yokefellow!!

Fair point, brother.

I wouldn't mind the sinners prayer if a church was biblical in its teachings on salvation and what it means to follow Jesus. But as a standalone marker of someone being saved, its lacking.

Maybe, if they haven't gotten a chance to hear the gospel and become Christian. Acts 10:34-35 King James Version 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is...

This podcast was incredible! I know I talked about some concerns about you but this was honestly really good. I like your emphasis on balance between human responsibility and divine grace. I rejected hyper grace teachings and upon reflection, I know it's possible that I now err too much on the...

Thank you, Pearl.

We ought to get the love thing right before we get caught up in theological minutia.

Wow. @marks is really getting the shaft in this thread. People are throwing his beliefs and his flaws around to ignore some very valid points that he makes. This is a valid point but for whatever reason the tide of opinion has turned against marks so I guess we're just going to dismiss...

Isn't it better that Im not outraged over a minor disagreement between two people on some posts I just now noticed? Let's maybe just laugh this one off. Let's not let the enemy have his way. If you're cool than I'm cool.

I may have to look up his post on holiness and righteousness again. Im still not sure about that. Im having trouble putting into words what I want to say but just don't give yourself too little credit about your understanding of things. You're very articulate and thoughtful all the time.

Yes, I'm expecting. I'm excited about it. Your theology seems to have changed a lot, which isn't a problem in itself. I know mine did. But now Im wondering if its because you've put Episkopos words on a pedestal. My concern is that you may be relying on Episkopos' wisdom more than you trust...
