Spit it out face. I don't have much time. Not interested in the above. I asked you what cost of creation means. That or nothing at all.

It doesn't.

Guess you missed all my posts on this very thread about how we can't know why evil exists or how it began. Basically that's my position. There's no processing. If Wm Lane Craig and John Lennox and a slew of other Christian philosophers/theologians can't figure it out, I'm more than sure that we...

Luke 9:23 is a really great verse. I like Matthew 5:20 20“For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Doesn't sound like much. Surely our righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees - whom Jesus...

I asked you if you trust your Christian faith. I hope I wrote the word CHRISTIAN. Because your Christian faith teaches that a devil exists because Jesus taught that they exist. I could post scripture if you really need it. Cost of discipleship. This ain't test time face. If you want to answer...

I don't know what that is. Never heard of it. You don't trust your Christian faith?

Like I said face.... I'm Christian. I belong to the Christian faith. My Christian faith teaches that satan is real. That's all I need. Jesus said the He drove out demons. That's all I need. I see evil all around me. It's everywhere....even in nature. That's all I need. No need to find another...

Of course there's salvation in The Faith! Do you believe what Jesus taught or not? Do you believe what the Apostles taught or not? THE faith is what they taught. This is not difficult. They taught that YOU MUST HAVE FAITH. That is part of The Faith. Actually, I agree with you but that'll get...

BOTH!! THE faith encompasses belief in Jesus for salvation. By the practice of the Christian religion....what exactly do you mean? EVERYTHING Paul taught, and all the writers, speak to the practice of the Christian religion. Jesus spoke to the practice of the Christian religion.... See the...

I think what you're saying is that all 3 subjects in Ephesians 2 are the gift. Yes. Agreed. Grace is a gift. Salvation is a gift. Faith is a gift.

Let me bring up another point then.... Many Christians believe they are saved by THE faith. Why? Because they'll tell you right out that any person that doesn't believe in Jesus is not going to heaven. And they mean ANY PERSON,,,,even some poor soul in a South American forest that never heard...

@St. SteVen I wanted to add that in the Italian bible Ephesians 2:8 states the faith..... but only because it MUST be added for grammatical purposes, to make it flow better la grazia, tramite la fede... same for four different Ital bibles I have. It literally says THROUGH THE FAITH Again...

Which experts St. SteVen....don't get carried away. Do you mean this?: New International Version For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— New Living Translation God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t...

I doubt @Johann needs any advice from me. I'm speaking in general. Unless there's a specific reason, I tend to just trust the translators of the NT. They take a lot into consideration that is not included in the lexicon. Experts don't usually get translations wrong. They also use hermeneutics...

F2F, many think as you do. They don't believe evil really exists but is the absence of good. I don't think you need a definition of evil. As to the source....satan is the source. You want to know why I THINK there's a source? Because I'm Christian and Christian theology/soteriology teaches...

We Christians are also saved by THE faith. THE faith is only referring to the faith that was taught to us via the Apostles and writers of the NT.... what other faith could we be saved by? Our faith must be personal. It must be faith..... But we believe in THE faith that was left to us. Like...

I don't think using a lexicon on a normal basis is a very good idea. Language is much more complex than translating in a lexicon type of way. Here's a way your could use that shows some trust for the expert translators of the bible. Jude 1:3 Interlinear As you can see, all the translations use...

I see you also got some likes. Well, if you're right, then we DON'T KNOW GOD,,,,because IF God created evil, then He is not properly represented in the bible and We should be very fearful of such a God. Could you imagine getting a new puppy that you say you love, and you also claim to be a...

But it's not JUST the verses. If I remember it was about Romans 8 and nature being affected by the sin nature. This is common in Christian belief. I don't make up my own theology,,,,I learn it. You're allowed to make up your own reasons as to why there are hurricanes.

Not to change the topic, but it's so nice to hear when someone leaves reformed theology to come to believe in the loving, merciful and just God of the bible. As to OSAS, it can be shown from scripture alone that it cannot be correct. The ECFs also did not teach this and they learned from the...
