If they ever find out the truth of what they are being taught, they will most probably leave the Christian religion and not join another group...unless they're lucky, as some on this very forum are, and learn the truth and seek it elsewhere.

No. This is a serious matter. No whoop ti doo. We must preach the word of God, not the word of a MAN. That man being John Calvin. ...who made up his very own religion.

So? What does that prove? Are they teaching the word of God or are they teaching the word of a man?

Really? 1 Corinthians 2:14 14But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.

Amish are very strict Christians. They hold to strict Christian rules and obey them. All we do here is argue about whether or not God is to be obeyed! So I don't see your example as being a good one because most persons are not Christian --- there is no absolute authority (God), so WHO decides...

What do you mean "meds brought it back down"? High BP doesn't get cured. You have to keep taking your meds unless you get a really low reading --- then you speak to your dr about this and he'll change your medicine. Atenonol can cause this BTW. I hope you measure your blood pressure every...

I agree with you bb. This is the problem as I see it.... I would be all for anarchy, except for the fact that human nature, being what it is, would most probably not allow it to survive. For example, what If my neighbor and I were growing our own veggies as you example shows. They have no crop...

What's WRONG! Which ones aren't?

Hi Enoch To study the Covenants, you don't study the bible, you study the covenants. They are based on the bible, of course, but are difficult for a normal person to glean from there. You're right about the Edenic Covenant. Some theologians start with this and some start with the Adamic...

I said a wife is to love her husband. As to the balance, what I meant is what you've explained. If a wife loves her husband but he does not love her then there is a great imbalance because if she submits to him, then she is merely a maid and not a helper as required in Genesis 2. To be a...

HR, God will know His children. Certainly not those who encourage others not to obey the commandments of God by stating that there aren't any when Jesus clearly said that there are. I post scripture. Your disagreement is with scripture. You resort to personal comments about me. This is all...

John 15 is an allegory and incorrect to use it for hermeneutics? Interesting since Jesus used parables, allegories, and other such methods to relay His message to the people of that day and there is even a very strong reason why He did this. I trust you know what it is since you're so...

I don't understand. I'm sorry. Whatever I'm mistaken about is not my mistake but the mistake of theologians and biblical scholars.

I don't understand what you mean. Please explain.

You don't know what opinion those that speak of rules have. It's rather forward of you to think you know what others think or feel about their faith. Perhaps you are very arrogant in your belief that God expects nothing from you? Jesus is God. Jesus said what He meant...He did not make any...

Very good thought. Also, in the same book of Ephesians Paul said that the husband is to love the wife as he loves his own body. As Jesus loves the Body, the church. Ephesians 5:25, 28 Without this balance the wife would end up being a servant only, and not a helper as was intended in Genesis...

Heb, I don't like to go on forever about anything. Goats can change to sheep. Did they not change into sheep when they heard Jesus' voice and became born again? And so, sheep can change back into goats when they stop hearing Jesus' voice and are no longer born again. We can be born into the...

Some points... 1. I loved God right away (when becoming born again). 2. A wife IS required to love her husband. Am I required to hate him? 3. We may throw the word "love" around, but I'll bet most of us knows what it means to love.
