Wow. That's a big job,,,but a very interesting one. Every now and then I read a little bit of the Institutes,,,I've also read your articles and, of course, I agree with all...so much information on so many topics... https://truthchallenge.one/ As to the above,,,,yes, of course salvation is...

Hi Oz, Yes. That's the post. @SovereignGrace seems to believe the world started when the bible was printed. Oh. And that maybe that's when GOD started to exist too.

Some theologians believe they were the children of Joseph since he was so much older than Mary. I would tend toward the fact that they were brothers. But what about what I had mentioned up above? Why would Jesus command John to care for His mother if He had brothers or sisters that could do this?

Looks like you know much much more than I ever will, but I can confirm that at the Council of Trent it was decided that priests should learn the language of the bible...AND that they should STUDY the bible...both the old and new testaments. Priests did not have theological study at that time...

You don't have to convince me! Blessings to those who obey Curses to those who do not Why would God EVER say that in His covenants with man IF He had already predestinated everything?! Predestination does seem to go against normal common sense... I really do fail to see the good in this theology.

Well sir, if you keep saying I take everything out of context, HOW will we ever discuss your theology? You believe in monergism. I believe in synergism. This does not mean I SAVED MYSELF. Jesus saved me because He is our Savior. Our difference is that you believe God picked YOU... I believe...

@Enoch111 is 100% correct. Do you know about Limited Atonement? The atonement, according to calvinism, is LIMITED to only THE ELECT. Of course, we must understand who the elect are. According to calvinism...it's those special persons that God chose among all of humanity to be saved from...

@Marymog oops. I just revived a dead thread. Sorry.

Hi MM I'm just looking around and came upon this. Some years ago I did a nice study on this....It's not as easy as all of us make it out to be. It's rather complicated and I can't remember too much, but I just want to say that even some Catholic theologians believe that Jesus COULD have had...

Is a la prochaine like A la prossima?

When Jesus was on earth... Where was the 2nd person of the Trinity?

I KNOW I KNOW I don't go around wondering who's really saved and who isn't. That's God's job, and believe me, He could have it ! So, what makes YOU think you know the difference between a true Christian and a fake Christian?

Scripture is clear that we are not saved by our will? Again, no scripture. Is that YOUR opinion, or did you read that in the bible or did you read that in the institutes or did you learn it in your church? We here like to use the bible for proof texts.

Oh that was a good one! LOL

Please explain what John 8:36 means instead of just posting it and making some light comment which means nonthing? What does Jesus free us to or from?

Why do you constantly address me as if you know me spiritually-wise? Could you just address the verses I post? you've used enough verbs up above to last the rest of my stay here. On some other forums you'd be gone by now... 1. YOU don't know if you'll persevere because God has to MAKE YOU...

The bible tells us we are IN the world, but not OF the world. The world holds different values than Christians do....at least BAC i guess I should say since many call themselves Christian when obviously they are not by their behavior. For instance, a principle that is widely accepted today...

Great point!

I agree. Saying ALWAYS and NEVER is dangerous and I also was taught never to say these two words...but I must have had a good reason...can't remember! And yes, RIGHT and WRONG have also gone away. Morality is now subjective...to the person that believes whatever they wish to believe. However...

You don't seem to understand what I believe. You should make an effort to grasp concepts... They're also in the bible BTW. Read it from cover to cover all on your very own and then come back and report IF we have free will. IF God loves everyone or just a select few as your church teaches...and...
