So when you pass by someone who is homeless and hungry, does your belief that this was God's intention, absolve you from giving what you can to help him out?

Amen. The redemption price was death...the wages of sin. Would you agree that those who do not accept by faith the redemption offered through Christ, they will have to pay the price themselves?

Not everyone died in the past, and not everyone will die in the future. But you are correct generally, "everyone" dies. And, everyone is resurrected. Some to life eternal, some to condemnation for whom the second death awaits. Jesus saved us from that second death. It was the second death that...

Ummm...okay,I think?

Agree. And what was that price?

Who else do you trust with your eternal destiny? While doctrine per se does not explicitly or directly impact your salvation, doctrine does directly impact your attitude and thinking regarding God's character and goodness. And your response to that goodness, whether positive or negative, does...

Indeed, the Bible does state that outside the gates to the New Jerusalem the many who refused to receive and believe in Christ, would gather. The intent with which they surround the city is to forcibly take the throne. The result? Fire comes down out of the sky and destroys them. This is the...

I sang it. To myself. Quietly. In my mind. And it fit perfect. 10 out of 10

The justification for retaining statues etc in the church (some of which were totally pagan idols but are now "baptized" Christian statues) reminds me of the incident of the golden calf that Israel bowed down to as Moses was preparing to come down from Sinai with the stone tablets. “1 And when...

There were numerous churches established before the gospel reached Rome. The first church was Jerusalem. The apostles traveled all over, as did numerous disciples, all teaching the same message, establishing churches everywhere they went. Phillip was the genesis for the church in Ethiopia,a...

“47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be...

Well, no. I listen to people's opinions. If they are away off base as far as Scripture is concerned, I can always remind you. But I would also be interested from whence your opinions came. How did they form? What influences were there that you came to your conclusions? As for the topic of the...

Agree with the final solution. No pun intended. I don't have a clue as to what Hades is. It's all Greek to me.

Not so strange. From what I have read of those who have studied the various translations, (me not being one of them), they find a common feature of those texts that have been altered or omitted. Many of them negatively impact, directly or indirectly, the character and/or nature of God.

No need to speculate. We can be absolutely assured that God will do everything He possibly can within the current rules of engagement between Christ and Satan, to draw everyone, including the Fijian woman, to Christ. Why can I be so sure of this? Because Christ died for every man, woman, and...

I have a challenge. Please read carefully the following, and then answer the concluding questions using Scripture only as the basis for your answers. Peter 1:18,19 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received...

Two points I would like to make. First, we can trust God to be just and fair. And let us not underestimate His power to retain truth in the midst of idolatry and apostasy. There has always been a remnant. Point two. Whosoever in the very distant past died in sin without repentance, we can be...

I'm of a mind that God called Abraham out of his father's house and land because God had a purpose for Abraham that would be compromised by idolatry and family ties. Jewish traditions that embellished the narrative are similar to Catholic embellishments to history, such as Saint Patrick's visit...

Is he not a king? And therefore your king? One branch of the church falling into apostasy does not make Jesus a liar. The church in Rome was not the only shop in town. And Rome wasn't the only town where there were shops. As Paul said even in his own lifetime, the gospel had been preached to...

I am sorry, but that's not the message you were implying. You quoted Steven about not needing to know doctrine... He was saying this in relation to coming to Christ. I was speaking to that context, presuming you were doing the same seeing you were quoting him.
