    LENGTHY POSTS: I never read them, sorry

    I'll never forget getting into a debate with a SDA on a different Christian forum who would continuously make long winded posts (which were obviously copied and pasted) and were full of scripture twisting, trickery, deceit, rhetoric and propaganda. He made it impossible to have a discussion with...

    Is the mark of the beast going to be about the papacy changing the day of the Sabbath?

    Isn’t it silly that some people actually believe our salvation hangs in the balance over which specific day we worship on?

    When Jesus comes back, what will you like to talk to him about for eternity?

    It should not take her long if she googles Christian forum/discussion boards to get a listing of all the Christian forums.

    When you click on their profile and get this below I suppose. Similar to Christian Chat when banned isn't always under their name. ;) Christian Forums @ Christianity Board - Error This user's profile is not available.

    children of God

    1 John 3:10 - In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

    The Only Way To Get Saved From Hell.

    Man is saved through faith apart from the merit of works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9) yet authentic faith does not remain apart from the presence of works. (James 2:14-26) It is through faith "in Christ alone" (and not by the merits of our works) that we are justified based on Christ (Romans...

    HE THAT KEEPS MY SAYINGS SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH - JOHN 8:51

    I’ve been a member of multiple Christian forum sites for 10 years now and anything is possible. I think I’ve just about seen and heard it all.

    Is the mark of the beast going to be about the papacy changing the day of the Sabbath?

    Show me from scripture where the specific word “sabbath” is mentioned before Exodus 16 and also where the Bible specifically states that from Adam to Moses, man was under a sabbath law and practiced keeping the sabbath day.

    A Word on 2Peter 2:20, 21

    Amen! In Hebrews 10:26, to "sin willfully" in the Greek carries the idea of deliberate intention that is habitual, which stems from rejecting Christ deliberately. This is continuous action, a matter of practice. Now we don't walk along our daily life and "accidentally" fall into a pit called...

    Is the mark of the beast going to be about the papacy changing the day of the Sabbath?

    Although God's rest on the seventh day (Genesis 2:3) did foreshadow a future sabbath law, there is no Biblical record of the sabbath before the children of Israel left the land of Egypt. *Nowhere in Scripture is there any hint that sabbath keeping was practiced from Adam to Moses.* The word...

    HE THAT KEEPS MY SAYINGS SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH - JOHN 8:51

    That’s a silly judgment call. I’m a mailman by profession which is why I chose that avatar. There was an episode of Seinfeld where he filled in for George as the mailman.

    HE THAT KEEPS MY SAYINGS SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH - JOHN 8:51

    Do you claim to be sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolutely perfect 100% of the time exactly like God the Father?

    HE THAT KEEPS MY SAYINGS SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH - JOHN 8:51

    Those who believe they live a sinless, without fault or defect, flawless, absolute perfect life 100% of the time (exactly as Jesus lived) are suffering from a terminal case of self righteousness. (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 1 John 1:8-10) The word 'perfect' does not always refer to absolute...

    What is Eternal Life ?

    John 17:3 - And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (which is an intimate, experiential knowledge, found only in a relationship). The term "know" implies intimate, experiential knowledge, through a relationship with Him and not...

    Only baptism by immersion?

    In regards to faith, works-salvationists fail to understand that there is a deeper, more substantive aspect of faith which is trusting in Jesus Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of their salvation and they cannot seem to distinguish between mere intellectual belief or mental assent from...

    Only baptism by immersion?

    That salvation is by grace through faith and is not by works (Ephesians 2:8,9) is not hard to understand. It’s just hard for works-salvationists to ACCEPT. It’s a shame that human pride will not allow work-salvationists to place their faith in Jesus Christ as the all-sufficient means of their...

    Only baptism by immersion?

    Baptismal regeneration is a heretical doctrine. Just because water baptism is mentioned in those versus (which are not the immediate context) does not mean that “water” in John 3:5 is water baptism, as I already thoroughly explained to you in post #42. By the time you get to verse 22 in John...

    Only baptism by immersion?

    To automatically read "baptism" into John 3:5 simply because it mentions "water" is unwarranted. There are those who would argue that the natural sense of the passage parallels "water" with being born out of a mother’s womb (verse 4) and with "flesh" (verse 6). The first is a physical, literal...
