    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    I thought we were talking about being good.

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    What is hard for me can be easy for others. I'm 69yo. I still remember remarks on my report cards from school as an 8yo. Easily distracted. That hasn't changed. I will determine in the morning to do something, and all of a sudden it's late afternoon and I have to rush it, or put it off till...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    Many would agree with you here, but if you were to quote specific Commandments then people start objecting. They believe you have become a legalist... Working your way to heaven... Trying to earn salvation.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    I think it's the same thing. I don't mean critical thinking in the sense of textual criticism. That's another beast altogether. Critical thinking... As you say taking care and being diligent, means when you hear something spoken of as being 'truth', consider carefully where that truth is coming...

    Why do you feel it is so hard to be good?

    First, let's face one essential component. We must be born again... Become new creatures. That's the bottom line. Then, anything is possible. All things are possible to those who have faith. I don't think I'm good yet. But I'm certainly a heck of a lot better than I was 40 years ago. In fact, I...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Kermos would have us all believe that whatever we think, it's because Good imposed His will on us all. That no-one can think for themselves or make their own decisions. In other words, even the most vile form of lust that bounces around in the mind of man is there only because God wanted it...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Which in a sense is critical thinking. Be a sceptic when others attempt to prove something from scripture that doesn't gel with your own conscience. Nothing wrong with healthy scepticism... Especially on forums. Bereans were sceptics. Take nothing at face value especially when your eternal...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    That we stop thinking? According to many on these forums, the fact that so many do not think critically any more, must be God's will.

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    Yes. Must be God's will.

    Climate Religion

    Seventh Day Adventist's have been warning of global Sunday laws for 170 years, and have been constantly told that such a thing would be impossible. That no event or circumstance on earth would provoke world government and churches do such a thing. Sept. 7, 2021, 1:45 PM PDT / Source: Reuters By...

    Here is what it all comes down to—- and you’d better get it right!

    I know this was early in the thread, and I appreciate you have had a history where the process was distorted and you were hurt... Even by family. But what do you disagree with amigo about? He laid out the correct procedure. Do you throw the baby out with the bathwater because some get it wrong?

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    That's a great god you believe in. He gives commands you can't obey, he condemns you to hell for disobeying, and calls it justice. Then if you want to obey you can't because the god you believe in says he doesn't want you to obey, he only wants your neighbor to obey. Your neighbor wants you to...

    Was Adam Imparted Free Will From The Beginning Of Creation?

    One would think so... But can we think?

    The Last Trumpet

    We ought not confuse judgement with the execution of the sentence. Both different things and different times.

    The Last Trumpet

    So when you were baptized, did you stay under the water? The lowering of a person into water at baptism is a figure of Christ's death, and your participation in that death. You claim Christ finished His work for your salvation at Calvary, so that means the resurrection wasn't necessary. Sorry...

    How to defend the trinity?

    I fully agree that Jesus is God. Not because He's eternal, or because He's our Savior. But the best evidence for His deity is His Sonship. Like Father like Son.

    How to defend the trinity?

    Yeah. That's what the creeds say. In other words, the son isn't a son. God didn't beget a son, but who you call a son was according to you there all along... In other words, 'eternal'. That answers one question. Except that it's a lot deeper than that. Are you familiar with Daniel 2? Remember...

    When and why will God end our world?

    @marks The passage from Jude... KJV Jude 1:4-7 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you...

    The Last Trumpet

    So, according to your theological expertise there was no need for a resurrection, for the high Priest to enter into the sanctuary with the blood of the covenant... There was no need for Christ to minister as our High Priest... There was no need for Christ to minister as Mediator of the new...

    The Last Trumpet

    You are a hard case. You just jump right in there doubling down on your own theory without asking for any further information regarding what I wrote. Another infallible wannabe pope.
