    What Is Marriage?

    Roman 7:1-4 In these verses Paul even says he is speaking to them that know the Law. And the word law occurs a few times during this discussion. Then he goes into the explanation that they are not of the law..dead to the law. This whole topic gets skewed in Christianity, whether it is weddings...

    What Is Marriage?

    Ok Victory, I am going to point out again...the whole “it is better to not touch a woman” thing was a statement / question from the Church of Corinth and Paul responded to it. The letters of Paul are one sided conversations that are easy to get misunderstood.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    There are a lot of good people out there that are not Christian. There are a lot of good people in other religions. But it takes more than just being good and good deeds to save a person and get them to heaven. There are a lot of good Calvinists out there, but they will not make it past Judgment...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    No not a one of them are true. The preservation of the saints is interesting, because I think Calvinism is one of the instances that sets up a Christian to fail on Judgment day. The alternative down side of Unconditional election is unconditional damnation. Even if you say some Christians are...

    What Is Marriage?

    It has nothing to do with sexual immorality. If you got issues with the Bible we can discuss it.

    What Is Marriage?

    I will try to explain...not that it will help LOL You can have a wedding...a famous preacher presides....2000 guests.... religious.... beautiful.... expensive.... great...if you never have sexual relations...you are never married. A wedding cannot marry you. If two people get together and have...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    @justbyfaith Isiah 45:7 is a very significant verse as far as theological study. I am interested in seeing the responses. New International Version I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things. New Living Translation I create...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Any broad designation is an all encompassing designation, unless there is a stipulation. For example and this is a great example of the chosen John 15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of...

    What is the best translation of the Bible to read?

    If I am going to read it outload at a Christian "get together" the Gideon Authorized King James Version is scriptures put to poetry. If it is for study...New American Standard-Study Bible. If it is for research....we actually have large books that have photo copies of the actual texts....and...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Like I said the Bible is not going to reference the world as the planet earth too many times. but the word world means the planet or all those that are included in the societies that exist on the planet.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    @marks Looks like they unanimously agree with me...adornment, system, etc not used in place of the word...world. Which would be its most obvious meaning. Of course the scriptures are not going to reference the planet as earth too many times, but the word world means the planet or all those that...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    Not sure if you did this somehow or the forum....it is quirky sometimes...There are quotes here that are not from me. That is funny. Post #289 addresses the rest of this. And as far as sin....I cannot know what is running around in your head. I am address the written beliefs of Calvinism. So I...

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism

    I do not believe that God predestines sins, that is your accusation, but not anything of me or the Bible. God predestines those He elects. He allowed sin to enter the world but did not predestine it, your thinking is incorrect. I am talking about the beliefs of Calvinism....if you need me to...

    What Is Marriage?

    Well Barney we do not know for sure if Adam and Eve did or did not have sex in the Garden. There would have been no violation if they did. The scripture that says that Adam "knew" his wife....did not say, he knew his wife for the first time. Further the statement made from God is just that...The...

    What Is Marriage?

    The question of whether or not Christ was married. Post #129 Well either way, I probably need to get to the conclusion of this particular topic before someone has a heart attack. There is no answer to these questions. The Bible and history indicates that the Jews did talk to Christ. The Bible...

    What Is Marriage?

    You don't understand the questions? No I did not. Was there a vow (such as a Nazirite...or something)...maybe a vow of chastity? Prophets....Nazirites....Levites....High Priests married. You could say that the Israelites / Jews were homophobic LOL And...maybe there was a physical condition...

    What Is Marriage?

    Well, what happened? LOL There are no reasons. The Mosaic Law has multiple laws regarding marriage and eunuchs and homosexuals. Be fruitful and multiply, God's first and most repeated commandment. For an Israelite/Jew to not get married, would be like a Christian spitting on a cross. No...

    Why Do People Believe In This?

    And those that believe that Christ married Mary Magdalene and had children....site extra-biblical books and sources. Sorry forgot to put Magdalene to that. lol
