    Non-Biblical Religious Nonsense

    I guess this would be a "Buyer Beware!" message/discussion. Everyone has an opinion, everyone has the idea of equal access to information and all that is considered "fair" according to our modern society, and indeed these are the times of which it is written that God would pour out His spirit...

    Flood then, Fire next

    Because the transition is not complete until it points to the spiritual kingdom of God. That is the whole point. We should be just passing through, not abiding in the worldly existence forever. "Rise, let us be going." PS, we should be encouraging and preaching to "enter in" to the spiritual...

    The idiot box

    Another "anything to discredit" God and His people thread. :(

    Flood then, Fire next

    This is a good study, but requires spiritual discernment (revelation). The similarity is similar ("as the days of Noah"), but the difference is as different as "water" and "fire." That great difference is the transition between our flesh or physical existence and that of the world, to that of...

    Writing Contest

    Hahaha! Just returned after being away for a time to find my gospel message has been beaten by three horsemen and a fisherman with a pregnant wife! :) Oh, well!

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    Of course you won't be discussing it with me any more...duh! You are preaching the teachings of men and not of God, not able to reconcile one scripture to another, but just picking out the ones that tickle your ears.

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    No, you are making the mistake of not defining repentance properly. Repentance means "to change." But to go back to former sins is evidence that there was no actual change. That is not change - not repentance. So, of course it would appear that a person can go back and forth between sin and...

    His Name

    Such things, if indeed they ever come, are like time-release revelations from God. He decides just when and to whom. So glad He is the only One with that power. :)

    His Name

    "A tree is known by its fruit" - which is also true of God, and is the reason for the reference to His name. You will hear different names and them defined as "logos", meaning "word" or "reason." Thus, if we "know" His name, we know Him by what He has shown of Himself, and why Jesus and the...

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    That is exactly what I did (quoted from the OP). Now see it in RED. As I said, that is a contradiction in terms - you are contradicting the scriptures.

    The Book of Remembrance.

    Don't be too quick to assume yourself wrong. The kingdom is not future except for those who do not now enter, even as it was at the time of the Lord's coming: Matthew 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

    The Book of Remembrance.

    The book or remembrance is the Word, His story, and His promises, which are many, and by which all are judged, both the living and the dead.

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    I only jumped in because you have come so very close. One indeed means One. The rest ("of", "in", and "by" in 1 Corinthians 8) speaks less of who, and more how (of actions, rather than persons). A tree is known by its fruit, and so it is also with God.

    Does anyone else think we're close to America collapsing?

    No...the tide does ebb and flow. But there is no "big finish" per say. The sand simply runs out for all (as in the days of Noah).

    Prove the Trinity wrong challenge.

    This is what is true. But your bold, underline, and italics makes it appear that you believe that only the Father is God. Better if enhanced as follows: KJV 1 Corinthians 8 6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom...

    Baptism in Jesus’ Name?

    The key word here is "name." It gives the answer to the question of who the Triune God is, by name. "The Word became flesh" is the Son because He is [the image] "of" the Father, whom is Spirit...and Holy. Three in One.

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    "Knowledge of the truth" does not make one born again...which you mentioned in you original post, as if anyone who was born again could go on sinning. Which is not the case. If one is born again, it is no longer they who live, but Christ who lives in them...He whom has no sin in Him. If you...

    Proof: You were only forgiven of your past sins!

    This is not correct. You gave the true answer in your own words and in the scriptures that you quoted, but then you contradict both: You said, "At the moment you were born-again" and then follow with scripture that says "You have not repented." One who has not repented - is not born again...

    The Absurdity of Preterism

    No, that would disqualify Him from being our sacrifice and Savior. What David spoke of, he spoke not only of himself and other men, but also of Christ: "What is man, that you think of him? Or the son of man, that you care for him? 2:7 You made him a little lower than the angels; You crowned...

    The Absurdity of Preterism

    Regardless, it seems to me that you have a problem with Christ being born as a man, a son of Adam, as well as a son of God the Father. Which is simply wrong. All men born of the flesh are part of the creation. The difference is that Christ is also the first born of the spirit of God, in whom He...
