Maybe we could discuss why they don't all apply to you? But not now. Good night for real!

With attendance at seminaries dwindling, I wonder if it would help if priests were allowed to get married. Is celibacy a biblical principle? Is it to any advantage? Disadvantage?

It runs the wrong way...up, instead of down.

You LOVE 1 John 3:9...

LOL

LOL You've never been poor! Poor people are desperate, If one has money, he tends to steal less. I'm speaking about non-believers here.

Good Night Rollo Tamasi!

What fer?

I didn't catch this. Sorry. In the OT the Holy Spirit fell upon upon persons. In the NT the Holy Spirit indwells us because we are in Christ --- He dwells in our spirit. Our spirit also affects our soul where the sin nature resides and this is how the Holy Spirit affects us. He does not...

Not everyone here can accept the truth.

OK (When a person lies, he is Purposefully telling an untruth. I know you know this.)

Wow. You could argue anything! Just because a person believes something does not make it true.....correct. However, it also does not make that person a liar if he believes it to be true.

It's a sinwhen its not true. You shall not bear false witness. The poster to whom you are referring believes what he says...to him it's not a lie. Just because you do not agree does not make the disagreed with a liar.

The Holy Spirit is our paraclete. He walks with us and keeps us from committing many sins because He keeps His spirit in our mind constantly. This does not mean that we never sin. As I said, I believe in free will and we still have the choice to sin or to not sin. Please consider what John...

I know what you're talking about. Many persons are ignorant of their faith and may not even have an inkling of the above. If they love Jesus they're Christian. But those who post on this forum are intelligent persons and know their faith. So, how could we not describe a Christian? We seem to...

I made the comment about causation, not you. Paul said he would be willing to be lost to save his Jewish brethren. Romans 9:2-3 I honestly don't know what you're saying above. I'm saying that we choose to believe in God and to follow and serve Him so that we may be saved since God invites ALL...

A life of sin: I get drunk every night. Sin: I get drunk once a year for my birthday. I use the NASB mainly. But also have the KJV, the NIV and others, including two Italian bibles that come in handy. Do you know God only from the bible, or do you also know Him as though you...

Although we mature as Christians and gain new knowledge of God as the years pass, I believe that once we know God, we DO stop relying on man and start relying on God. In the Mosaic Covenant the laws were written on stone. In the New Covenant the laws are written on the heart so that we can know...

Maybe the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Presbyterian Church will help... Chapter 9 - Of Free Will. Section 1.) God hath endued the will of man with that natural liberty, that it is neither forced, nor by any absolute necessity of nature determined, to good or evil.(1) (1) Mt 17:12; Jas...

Foreknowledge is not causation. Elect means to choose. Elect means Israel. God chose Israel for revelation and salvation. It doesn't sound like you're expousing calvinistic views.
