Theology makes me correct.

Well Sir... In some cases I'm 100% sure that I'm right. How? Because I know for sure. That's all I'll say. We were made in God's image. HIS IMAGE...not like God which would mean that we're like Him. He gave us some of HIS attributes: Which ones do you NOT agree that God has?: God is love. Do...

Of course the image was marred. ONLY GOD IS PERFECT. But what do YOU think it means that we were made in God's image??

So you believe in a wrathful God? Not a loving, merciful and just God?

I agree with you. I also do not care for the Penal Substitution Theory. In this theory God is portrayed as a wrathful God that requires sacrifice to be appeased. This is just not the God that I've come to know. In fact in some verses of the O.T. it plainly states that God does not desire...

BL,,,,this is a known fact. I'm not going to debate it. God has all the attributes I mentioned which were passed on to us. I DID SAY THAT IN US THEY ARE NOT PERFECT. In God they are perfect. P.S. I just saw your post no. 83 I leave you to Ozspen. But we are to become MORE PERFECT by...

I asked @Giuliano what the Christ Spirit is and I do hope he answers. I really don't have any idea.... Is the Christ Spirit the same as Christ's spirit, for instance. Is it like the Holy Spirit? I don't know about the cult you mentioned.. and yes, the more one knows, the more bells go off.

Hi E. Great post. I've copied it and put it in my file. (I don't use this stuff, it's for me) I do see in the N.T. that John baptized for the forgiveness of sin. Then we see Jesus telling the Apostles to wait for the Holy Spirit so they could be empowered. Are there more? Is believing a form...

P.S. I'm sure that you know that we need to be born again so we could REGAIN our RELATIONSHIP with God which was broken and is broken until we are born from above and His spirit awakens our spirit.

Hi BL,,, Ozspen will reply for himself...he has much more knowledge than us. Much more. However, I'd like to answer also. We had preternatural gifts before the fall..for instance, man was made to never die. That is a preternatural gift. Man was made to get along with animals and nature...that...

From the above it's obvious you don't seem to understand what perfect means. An airplane is not perfect because it could crash due to mechanical malfunction. A car can crash due to mechanical malfunction. They are not perfect and then become imperfect BECAUSE A MAN caused them to become...

I see. I've never seen this refusal. My brother, who changed denominations, was asked to be baptized AGAIN,,,and he agreed after much thought. I believe this was wrong. We re baptized into Christ NOT a denomination. Also, the ECFs believed baptism removed sins. This is what was believed. But...

You seem to be mixing up foreknowledge with causation. I may not be understanding you and am sorry if I don't. Because God foreknows something does not mean He caused it to happen. With our free will we choose what we want to do,,,God just knew what we would choose. I think you believe in open...

What do you mean by the Christ Spirit and what do you mean that we cannot know what happened 2,000 years ago?

What do you mean YOUR doctrine? You made up this doctrine? And what exactly is this doctrine? If I make up a doctrine..will YOU believe it?

I don't believe any of the 5 points. Perseverance of the saints has biblical support although I don't agree with that either. I agree with it in the sense that it IS God that gives us the strength to persevere. But we're still left with our free will. Let's not derail this thread....

Hey TW, I don't care to scold newcomers. But you're doing the exact thing that you reject in others. How do YOU know who is a believer and who is not? Did Jesus go on vacation and He left YOU in charge? Jesus will judge us...not you. Your brethren, IF you're a Christian, are those that love...

Hi GH, I don't think @John Caldwell is a five-point calvinist. He has clearly said so. Reconciling the Sovereignty of God and the free will of man is not easy to do. We all have to come to our own understanding of this. However, I don't think JC makes God to be a monster,,,which, yes, basically...

I agree with you E. But answer me this: Why was baptism such a big issue back then? Jesus said we need to be baptized when He taught the Apostles how to preach in Mathew 28:19. We read in Acts the baptism of the Holy Spirit...Acts 2. There are so many verse,,,I could list them but I think you...

Couldn't agree more. No one on this forum can be 100% right.... that's because so many different concepts could be proven with scripture. I'm beginning to not agree with Sola Scriptura anymore. Why? Because when the N.T. was written certain beliefs were already established and the persons that...
