Right. Scotty wasn't around yet.

[ As long as if the US had switched off dst. The flight time doesn't change. 7 to 8 hours, depending.

Do you feel like this about Mere Christianity? I loved The Screwtape Letters too.

I believe the church, small c, will have many blemishes. But the Church, the Body of Christ, will be purified by Him.

Wouldn't Protestant churches have to agree to some extent? I don't see this happening. Also, the Catholic Church is having problems right now. It's not as United in beliefs as it used to be,,,this pope is liberal and many Catholics are conservative. How would it force us to go along with it?

Yes. I'd say it's a mistake! Not only are we wandering from traditionally held Christian beliefs, but now some churches don't even have specific doctrine! The church will lose all cohesiveness if this continues.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood you. Although I've enjoyed this exchange with you, we'll have to agree to disagree on the question of free will and on the question of unconditional election. You believe God first chooses who will be saved and that person is then free to respond. I believe God...

This pope has changed a doctrine and if one can be changed, they all can. And half of all Catholics don't like him,,,the traditional ones. And he seems to be on the side of Muslims. I say seems to be because often what he says is so far off that it needs to be fixed by the Vatican spokesman...

Well, of course there won't be any Christians in hell ! I thought you were saying that only the devil and his angels will be in the lake of fire. anyway, I don't really care to discuss this.

P.S. Getting ripped into doesn't frighten me. For I know whom I have believed. But so far,,,no one has "ripped into me". I find everyone here very reasonable. Well, maybe except one...who is rather angry all the time.

No problem on my part. New posters are difficult to understand, maybe. We need to give them a chance. Peace.

So we don't have to keep the Sabbath holy? You're one of those that says that Jesus did everything for us so we don't have to do anything? So I could work and toil on the Sabbath? I could skip church with no worries? I could treat it just like any other day? So I'm not to keep either Saturday...

2. Homiletical outline: Joshua 24:14-28 This is designed to summarise what the text is saying and grab the attention of the congregation or readers with relevant information that comes directly out of the text. This is the outline for a sermon that I will preach (not prepared yet) on this text...

No Stranger. This is the problem with Calvinistic beliefs. ALL means ALL. It does NOT mean "all" something else. It means ALL MEN on earth. I meant, of course, that there is no such thing as elect, so there is no such thing as no elect. Another way to say this is that all are elected by God...

Yes. It IS too difficult. You contradict yourself. In paragraph one you say we have free will. In paragraph two you say we do NOT have free will. In paragraph one you say we get to choose God. In paragraph two you say God must FIRST draw us to Him. God draw ALL MEN to Him. Romans 1:19-20...

Yes BG, we were discussing election to salvation. I'm happy you don't agree. I really dislike talking about hell, but if you want a real answer it'll have to wait till tomorrow. Doesn't Revelation also say that nothing impure will enter heaven.? Interesting your comments about God being an all...

Being called to be a part of the body is biblical. 1 Corinthians 12:12 Saying that God elects some and not others is a calvinist doctrine which is not true because it removes free will from human nature. I've given a lot of scripture that proves we have free will.

LOL neither have you made sense at times! There is no non elect because God desires all to be saved. 1 Timothy 2:4

What??? You've been telling me that God chooses us, now you tell me the invitation is for all???

I'm not changing the subject. I'm just using the Christian understanding of free will and you're not.
