I know I don't have to agree! I just never heard of what you're saying. I've heard some stuff on this forum I've never heard before and I've been around a long time. So what's the difference between being picked by God (Calvinism) and being of God from the beginning? HOW did we get to be of...

Is Jesus coming back one time or two times? My bible tells me He's coming back at the end of the world. Does yours tell you He's coming back an extra time to take away all those lucky souls who won't have to go through the rapture? That would make two times. I don't know much about eschatology...

Well I'll say this: We bring our life experience along with us. I know two persons (maybe 3 or 4) who have studied a lot. So much that they have initials after their name. They are also very Godly men and spiritual men. They probably do a whole lot more for God than I ever will. So I'm not...

I agree. Why should prostitution be illegal? Can I force everyone to follow my moral beliefs? No. Moral laws cannot be enforced. It has to be a CHOICE to be moral. There's currently a law, right? Why isn't it working? I'd prefer that this activity be confined to a bldg instead of seeing...

I'm sorry Stranger. I don't understand. I really don't know what you believe - I can only go by what I THINK you are saying. We are all children of God. God loves His creation and He loves every single person on earth and wishes for each one to be saved. There's scripture for this. I won't...

Original sin is the sin that Adam committed. He committed the first sin of any man. Because he represented all mankind, we now, all of us, suffer the consequences of that sin. The consequences are physical death, separation from God, separation from our fellow man separation from nature and ...

Sounds ok. God has no time. He knew who would choose Him. The important part of this is that we DO get to choose. However we want to then understand it is fine with me.

Death is an effect of the sin. This is what Arminians believe, of which I am one: Arminianism Generally speaking, the Arminians maintain that we inherited a sin nature from Adam and sin due to that nature. We are not guilty for Adam's sin and cannot be punished unless we actually sin...

Yes, you're right of course. Baptism is not salvific. Even Catholics say that the baptized infant must, at some point in his life, ACCEPT the baptism in order to be saved. Accept means to become born again in our language. Your granddaughter? Beautiful house... If that IS your...

Kepha Could you please clarify the difference between OS and concupisence? I mean, I understand what the difference is, but your post above leads me to believe you're understanding is different. I do like your last sentence. OS is contracted therefore it could be removed without consent...

You seem pretty darn intelligene RO What kind of a question is that??? With whom was the Adamic Covenant made... With Adam or with Eve? Thus, who is responsible?

You're replying to my saying that I still study my faith. You tell me faith is not learned. So... Are YOU of the Christian faith? The Jewish faith? The Islamic faith? Do YOU study your faith?

So are you saying Jesus was born with the sin nature?

I'm not debating with you whether the above is right or not... It seems to me that celebrating Passover is a ceremonial activity and Jesus did abolish ceremonial law. At the last Passover He said that His blood is the New Covenant. The NC does not abolish the OC, but adds to it or changes it...

You won't sway my thinking. I have a really strong base. The tree of life is in rev 22, if I remember...maybe not. I don't care for revelation. I will reference scripture from Genesis: Genesis 2:9 Genesis 3:22,24 I also read Revelation 22:1 I have no comment other than to say that Jesus gives...

Since your accusation is so serious, I ask that you post some of these statements.

Who knows the truth? The one who studies theology of man? I still go to learn my faith. Is this wrong? Should I just stay home and not go? There are persons here who are saying Jesus was born with the sin nature.. IOW, calling Him a sinner. Some here speak of reincarnation. The apostles had...

The Trinity does not define God. God cannot be defined. It's just an attempt to understand the terms the Bible uses... God Father Holy Spirit Spirit of God Son of Man Son of God Virgin Birth, etc.

I hear weird things job... Those big sunglasses don't hide what I hear...unfortunately!

Whatever happens will be against the will of the population. But who cares about us? Do you know what happened in Barcelona? Anyway, the Vatican is a state and cannot be the head of Europe. Rome can't be the head either because it's loaded down with problems caused by Actions of the EU. We...
