I had actually been saying this all along. I said that every theory has some aspect of the atonement in it.. no one has all. Each one can be described from the bible.... but different aspects become more important than others. I don't have a problem with the fact that they've been separated. I...

God is in control? So are you a calvinist in hiding?

But we all use it ! 1. If you want to reply to a specific person,,,use the "reply" button at the lower right hand corner. I think you're doing this. yes, you are. 2. If you want to call, or tag, one person...use the @ with their name right after. If you want to quote something and break...

Don't understand what you're saying. I hope you're not saying I'm emotionally unstable. First you said Sunday worshippers are NOT going to be lost. Then it sounds like you're saying they do because they don't keep the commandments. As to men's laws...I agree. Does every church have men's laws...

I'm not reckless about much. If a person feels hate eminating from you,,,they will not heed anything you have to say. Catholics cannot live as they please. Priests are allowed not to give absolution if they feel the penitent is not really sorry. They preach Christ at every Mass. I agree with...

Oh my goodness!!! You never read my link??? I don't really post links... so when I do...YOU SHOULD READ IT! There are many atonement theories... all straight from the bible. Here it is again... There's a lot on this, but I like this link because it's concise... 7 Theories of the Atonement...

Me too,,,and I don't really understand it. BTW, I almost missed your post. When you want to speak to someone, use the @ sign and then immediately after it just right their name. Like this @JohnPaul In fact, you'll find that after you type 2 or 3 letters, the name will automatically appear...

I don't know JBF, I hear this all the time. Who cares WHAT TYPE of faith it is. How many types of faith are there? Jesus said we need the faith of a mustard seed. JESUS SAID the person BELIEVED FOR A WHILE. One must believe to be saved. If one believes FOR A WHILE... he is saved FOR A WHILE...

Scott, What is UNLAWFULL is to do things against the LAW. What law? The ones Jesus left us with: the 10 commandments and anything else He might have said to do...which he did.

Can't remember if I've already answered this.... I too believe it's possible to turn back to the world...although perhaps not probable. As long as we REMAIN IN JESUS, yes, the Holy Spirit is there to help us,,,just as Jesus said in John 16:7

So Ephesians 2:8-9 trumps every other verse in the N.T.? You pick ONLY the ones you like and state that the ones about works mean nothing? Let's check some out: Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary. So then, while we have...

Hi JBF, Go back and read all my posts and tell me one where I said we are saved by works. I've NEVER said that and never will because it's not true. Ephesians 2:8-9 Could you please explain to me what justification is? Also, who ever said the Law could be kept perfectly? The Israelites...

Hi H, We don't need passages. The revelation can start at the very beginning of Christianity. The Trinity is better understood after time. Jesus' divinity is understood over time. The bible speaks of body and spirit giving rise to gnosticism...we know, after study at the very beginning, that...

What Christian is not indwelt by the Holy Spirit? I thought we all were. We can not only grieve the Holy Spirit... we can, by our own free will, decide we don't even want the Holy Spirit anymore. What does 2 Peter 2:20-22 mean?

Not so. See Luke 8:13 where Jesus Himself says that the person believed for a while. Also 2 Peter 2 19-21 It Can happen if the Bible says so.

Huh? Extreme unction! Why for goodness sake? It states those who believe are saved. What if you decide to quit God and stop believing?

Will reply when at computer. Hope I remember....

Right. Those that Believe on the name of the Son HAVE eternal life. Believe is present tense... We must Believe at the time of our death. John 3:36

What do you think obedience of faith is? It means we obey out of faith. What happens if we DO NOT obey God? If our obedience pleases Him,,,what happens if He is not pleased? Does God accept disobedience? Isn't that sin for which we should ask forgiveness? Are we saved for time and eternity...
