    Theories of the Atonement

    Do you also believe in the false doctrine of Purgatory?

    Theories of the Atonement

    A misinterpretation of 1Pe 3:18-22 For Christ also has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: (19) By which also He went and preached unto the spirits in prison; (20) Which sometime were...

    when is end times and end of days. when God tells it ?

    The end times began around the time of Christ's ascension. Peter wrote this shortly before he was martyred by Nero in 68AD. 1Pe 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be you therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. Reportedly John wrote this between 95 & 110AD. 1Jn 2:18 Little children...

    Theories of the Atonement

    The doctrine of ENDURING REPENTANCE is Scripturally sound and one is on solid ground who continues to access the throne of grace through the blood of Christ which cleanses us from ALL sin. The blood of Christ is continually effective in cleansing God's People from the sins they confess and...

    Theories of the Atonement

    I'm just thankful that God is not ticked off about my sinful behaviour because of Christ's perpetually sufficient sacrifice that cleanses me of all sin.

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Yes, among other things. All tyrants consider themselves beyond the constraints of natural and moral law.

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Babylonian wisdom, sometimes referred to as Babylonish, is knowledge gleaned and gathered from every source available for the purpose of elevating and glorifying man, which is why the foretold number 666 of ancient renown is appropriated by the BEAST, - nothing to do with God discerning it but...

    The Mark of the Beast Has Arrived

    Have a go at this: The wisdom is Babylonian numerology and gematria. The understanding is the significance of this particular triangular number. (The sum of all the numbers 1 to 36) The count is the position of each of the numbers in the sum. The number of a man is the ownership by letters...

    Divine Justification: greatly misunderstood or greatly misrepresented

    Thanks for clearing that up. I prefer some posts to be invisible to me, hence the amusing perplexity. Of course we are justified by grace through faith. No faith = no grace = no justification.

    Divine Justification: greatly misunderstood or greatly misrepresented

    Hullo! Is anyone there? What's this about consistently misinterpreting . . .me? As if . . .

    Divine Justification: greatly misunderstood or greatly misrepresented

    Who said anything about being sinless? That's not another unintentional inclusion is it . . . now I'm getting cautious.

    Divine Justification: greatly misunderstood or greatly misrepresented

    Not intended to be included? I'm very suspicious of things that are not intended to be included and just happen to be included unintentionally.. I intend to include the point that without one coming to faith there is no possibility of God's grace being available to one.

    The Shepherding/Covering Doctrine

    Thanks for providing this material, Paul. You have a style of writing that is easy to read so it didn't take me long to get through all 61 pages. Interestingly, some Anglican clergy have opted out of their denomination in protest against its acceptance of gay marriage and ordination of those in...

    The Shepherding/Covering Doctrine

    With a chapter on the "The Perils of Bi-Polar Pastors" perhaps. Paul doesn't mention these specifically but my experience is that they are not to be trusted, and their lack of suitability leads to instability, even suicide in one case with which I am familiar. 2Co 11:26 in journeys often, in...

    The Shepherding/Covering Doctrine

    Thankyou for relating your experience, Pearl. There seem to be seasons of growth with a congregation leading to a stream, and a stream to a movement, but sustainability of Biblical principles without the adoption of worldly models of corporatisation is a challenge for those called to lead the...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Adam sinned because he could. In eternity God foreknew he would. God is always just and true Telling Adam what not to do. God did not make Adam disobey Eat the forbidden fruit He did not say. God is always just and true He tells us all what not to do. Jas 1:13-15 Let no man say when He is...

    The Shepherding/Covering Doctrine

    After branching out from my Anglican heritage in the 1980's I began hearing a lot about Accountability in the charismatic movement, mainly Christian Fellowship/New Life, AOG, & Apostolic, but also the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International. Although based on Scripture there is a mix...

    What purpose does it serve?

    Yes, a little politics goes a long way with me, but in prayer and intercession I lift up those in authority so that law and order can be maintained according to the Will of God. Christians who have political bees in their bonnets are NOT good company where I'm concerned, but I do my best to...

    For free will believers out there

    I stopped reading you when it became obvious you are pushing a strawman fallacy.

    Question no Protestant can answer

    The Ethiopian eunuch was an educated and well-informed proselyte. He was free to travel to Jerusalem for worship and had a copy of the OT Book of Isaiah, which tells us that his position with Queen Candace came with material benefits, since scrolls of OT Scriptures were costly and beyond the...
