The Latin phase argumentum ad hominem stands for "argument against the person", which appears to be the purpose of this thread, hence the measure of theorising on the validity of comments made by the parties concerned regarding whether it was necessary for Christ to die on the Cross or whether...

It's a good verse to give those who think Christ was powerless against His oppressors. Theoretical inputs with terms like Penal Substitutionary Atonement go right over the heads of many, both saved and unsaved, I have observed.

Hi John. Is there a simple way to explain Christ's death on the cross without resorting to theories of any sort? I like to think so which is why I simply state it was God's Plan. This has amounted to "strong meat" for those who have never grasped the truth that the purpose of Christ's...

The Biblical Perspective: 2Co 4:14-18 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. (15) For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. (16) For...

Back to the Book of Acts then...

Yeah, without committing the fallacy of arbitrariness. :rolleyes:

Absolutely Yes. God has created the Universe to function according to what mankind calls the Laws of Nature, but God, and therefore Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are not bound by the Laws of Nature. Here is an illustrative time-travel thought exercise in which you have the ability to travel from...

I think Jesus can be anywhere and everywhere in no time at all if He wants to be. The infinite velocity concept allows for an entity to be anywhere and everywhere in no time at all. Space, time, velocity, and location are no obstacles to the Infinite One, hence Philip's Transport in Acts 8:39-40

Rather than promote my views I share them. It's a given that one person's opinions and views be challenged on these forums. Enough said. Moving on.

I prefer the teaching that followers of the sect known as the Way simply became known as Christians first in Antioch as their numbers grew and it became necessary to distinguish them from other groups. [See Albert Barnes Quote below] Act 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto...

How big is Jesus Christ now? As big as He wants to be of course. The whole point of His incarnation was to die a physical death as a perfect, perpetual, all-sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the world. He started His incarnation as a baby and grew into an adult. He now has a glorified body...

Do you have a reliable source to substantiate this claim. I don't get a sense of the epithet Christian being derisive in this verse Act 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, You almost persuade me to be a Christian.

So many people live their lives not aware of the amazing love God has for everyone. In my case I remember from early childhood being told that God loved me and everyone else. I have heard or seen the phrase "Jesus Loves You" millions of times, but it is patently obvious to me now that Satan...

Seriously, you don't don't know what a Calvinist is, nor the basis of five point Calvinism as encapsulated in the acronym TULIP? Man, you have some catching up to do...:p

Someone who has propagated a TULIP. T = Total Depravity (Original Sin) U = Unconditional Election (God's Elect) L = Limited Atonement (Particular Redemption) I = Irresistible Grace (Effectual Calling) P = Perseverance of the Saints ( Guaranteed Endurance)

I don't know whose teaching you sit under, cristian_gavrilescu, but your post does not align with Biblical Theology. Please consider these verses from the New Testament if you will, and set yourself to understand why it is grace and not law that characterises Christianity: Rom 3:28 Therefore...

Hilarious!

I'm trying to reconcile your former assertion that the white robes are glorified bodies with your latter statement regarding the resurrected bodies of the beheaded saints.

Can you quote Scriptures to that effect, or are you winging it?
