Great post. I believe it was Augustine (not my favorite) that said that every person has an empty hole in them... and ONLY GOD can fill this hole. And then we feel complete. (mine). We are 3 parts: Body, Soul, Spirit If we don't find and nourish our spirit, we will always feel lacking and...

Yes E, the last 60 years have brought much change... and most of it not for the better. Cloning, chemicals in food, we're in a mess right now.

Interesting. We each have such personal experiences. I don't even remember if I CONSCIOUSLY repented...I mean the real meaning of repent. All I know is that I was shown something, and I knew right away that I wanted to follow God and not the enemy. I had come to believe in a real spiritual...

This is all very scary... I'm not there so I don't know what's going on anymore.. but this is something I've always worried about. I knew that mayors don't like to call in the military because they're trained to kill,,,not to keep the peace...so marshal law is always a last resort....for all...

You're right. Too many today speak about God's love as if that's all God is. I like to remind them that God is love,,, But He is also Just. I don't quite see this the same as fear... Justice is just the desire for everyone to have what they deserve.... God certainly will give to each according...

Very well said. I understand this to be the obedience of faith. We have faith and so we obey. What are we obeying? The works God wants us to do. And ALL we do should be for God. Colossians 3:23

What a silly example. Let's speak about those that don't die one second after they're saved. If they continue to live...which most do.... are they to sit comfy and do nothing of what God would want them to do? Faith only is not biblical. “… only we who believe can enter His rest … but those...

How can it be possible to state that God based Abraham's righteousness on faith ALONE, when it's clear that Abraham obeyed everything God told him to do? 1. Abraham lived in a world of pantheism. The true God revealed Himself to Abraham whem he was in Harran. 2. Abraham accepted this God...

OK GE,,,,I've already had my coffee AND lunch... but I still can't understand what you're saying. IF GOD predestined everything...then HE IS to blame. Free will worshipers have ONLY THEMSELVES to blame. Is this what you're saying? Anyway, that's what I believe to be true.

Oh. You're a SDA. OK. I love all my brothers in Christ. Even though I hear you think I'mm going to hell for worshipping on Sunday. Is that right? Anyway, the original reason why priests were not to marry was so that they could devote their life to God and not have to worry about wives and...

I can't change how you think PM, But the hatred that comes out of you is appalling. Jesus said we are to love each other. There are some doctrine in the CC which is wrong,,,just as there is in any church. I wonder what church YOU go to? Do you think they're right about everything? Catholics...

Did you read that link I sent you? MOST theologians believe it was satan that got paid. I mean, do we think we know more than theologians? Are you one? I'm not keen on anything. I've been stating throughout this thread that there's a bit of truth in each of the atonement theories...if I had...

Oh boy. I don't want to know it ! Many dates have been set...but they all turned out to be serious. Do you realize that for SOMEONE,,,TODAY is the end of the world for them... I do believe we're drawing close... Seems we all do.

No! It's clear. It's just that there are so many theories,,,,each one sounds right. Did you see my link? It's concise and very clear: 7 Theories of the Atonement Summarized - Stephen D Morrison

Not only is it better, but now I could answer to it. Whatever you think about soteriology...even if it's wrong...you (all of us) will still be saved because if NOT...It would mean that we are saved by our doctrine and not by Jesus. Doctrine cannot be what saves us... but SOME doctrine could...

That's not an answer. But let's let it go,,,really. There is NO problem with free will. (the problem is that evil exists)

AD Don't you know how to use the quote system? Your posts are very diffcult to read and to respond to....

Sounds good to me! It's all sounding good. I can't even decide WHICH atonement theory I like the best... there's a little bit of everything in each one.

I just went back and saw it. YOU'RE going to make OUR heads explode! Night.

A dialect is not slang... And it's not an accent...for instance, Americans have a different accent than the English. Northern US Americans have a different accent than Southern US Americans. A dialect develops because a town is separated from the rest of society. Persons there don't go to...
