How many times must I post the following? WHY don't we believe those that knew what the Apostles taught? Why don't we believe Thomas when he stated: My lord and my God. Why don't we believe Paul when he said: Titus 2:13 13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our...

Did you not know Jack? @Auntie Jane is an expert in the Greek language... gosh, she might even speak it! And also, did you not know that "the Greek" can be twisted to mean whatever one wants it to mean!! Oh my! LOL

You know a lot Auntie Jane. You know Greek inside out....this is great. You know I have a church.... And nice to know the bible was not written in English. I'll remember to write that down. And, just a BTW, I can read the bible in 3 languages...so when I make a statement on a translation, I...

Ditto Tazz Nice to hear. We are doing our best, I believe (to please God). No sir. I never contradict myself. Here is what is needed to be saved. 1. Belief in God. 2. Obedience to God. Being Christian means you believe in Christian tenets. There's a thread on this: THEOLOGY/CAN ONE NOT...

Yes Ma'am.... There were no bibles, no NT, in the early church. Christianity was taught orally by those that the Apostles had taught. When the NT refers to scripture...it means the OT. Too many are prejudiced and will not learn anything new.

The Arian view is heretical. The Arian view teaches that Jesus was just a man. You can believe this... but you cannot consider yourself to be Christian. Yes. Arianism is once again rearing its ugly head.... Happily,,,it will never be a Christian idea./concept.

Not my prerequisites Berean. I don't invent my very own religion like some do. The Christian religion has been around for about 2 thousand years. The prerequisites have already been established. The creeds have already been written. If a person wants to define themselves as Chrsitian there are...

Another Calvinist belief - We must have faith first in order to believe. WHOSOEVER believes WILL be saved. We are saved BY FAITH. Ephesians 2:8 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; We receive the gift of salvation because of...

Gospel literally means GOOD NEWS. Gospel means "good news" or "good story" and originates from the Greek word euangélion and the Old English word godspel. In a religious context, it refers to the "good news" of Jesus Christ, source: Gemini The gospel is the good news that anyone who so...

I'll repeat my question: IF God chooses WHO will be saved.... and YOU believe that they will persevere till the end.... WHY do we ned to make sure of our calling?

In Greek what? I don't speak Greek. I AM means I WAS I AM I WILL BE I AM is always existing.

True....but I made no such statement that would require the above reply. THIS is what I stated: God, when asked by Moses WHO was sending him...said to say: I AM sent me. Jesus, in the NT,,,,stated that before Abraham was...I AM. Jesus used the same name as God Father did with Moses. Exodus...

The mind shifter you're speaking of here is that the Jews were going to stone Jesus for blaspheming... Sorry for delay....but I did want to reply to this. Here is the passage: John 10:22-33 22 At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; 23 it was winter, and Jesus was...

I agree with your statements. They're absolutely true. Would you agree that we must BELIEVE IN God and obey Him in order to be saved? I believe you'll reply YES. So we agree. Here is where we do not agree: You stated: "Salvation originates with God's sovereign choice and call (election) " We...

If you mean the grace of God... It IS supernatural event. The indwelling of the Holy Spirit is a supernatural event. WITH A FAVOR....is a way of saying THE GRACE OF GOD. THROUGH A TRUST...is a way of saying FAITH...one who has faith, trusts. NOT FROM US RATHER OF THE GOD A GIFT.....we cannot...

Let's see if this can be clear: NO ONE IS SAVED BY THEIR WORKS. No Christian believes a person can be saved by their works. FAITH...BELIEF IN GOD IS A MUST. There is only ONE gospel.... BTW,,,I've asked you several times...WHAT is the gospel in calvinist theology? WHAT is the good news? I...

Now Philo. OK. This conversation is over. You have an agenda,,,and I'm trying to have a conversation. :balloons:

I don't know EVERYTHING about early church history Mono. Maybe you do, even though you don't accept it. But what I DO state, I'm absolutely sure of.

Now we have to discuss Ben Franklin? Did he believe Jesus is God? Did he believe in the trinity? Did he believe in the literal, physical resurrection of Jesus? Then yes. Otherwise No.
