Great. I eagerly await your answer to the 3 questions, posted here for your convenience.

Still not an answer to my 3 questions. It is not that I am making things personal but responding to you taking things personally. For instance, I asked 3 simple questions. Rather than answer them, you talk about yourself, your faith, your reason for being on these boards and so forth. So, you...

This is one of 3 questions I asked Barney. Knowing he cannot support his doctrine, he abandoned the field while also claiming not to do so. Allow me. The easiest way to defeat the trinity is to expose the non-existent "3rd" person. Every single Epistle's prologue acknowledges God, who is the...

My wife told me yesterday that her favorite Xmas song is O Holy Night. We watched performers on the Xmas special from The Chosen. Remarkable talents, one and all.

While I appreciate the reliance on explicit textual reference, again logic leads the way. If "the breath of life" is NOT among the gifts/"aspects" of the Holy Spirit, on what basis caused the act of Creation? Some say God is a gardener, an artist, a creator, a warrior. All require a certain...

Definition Logic Language Usage I recall that scene in Dances with Wolves when the character played by Kevin Costner wanted his hat back. If this were put into words, it logically means he did not have his hat. Logically, the only way the Spirit of God could come upon Jesus is the Spirit was...

Hmmm. I think St Paul uses the word meaning gifts. Some gifts are speaking in tongues. Other gifts are reading in hearing in different languages. Still other gifts are prophecy, which Paul says is the most useful. Hopefully, you are not playing some kind of word game with @Robert Gwin. If Jesus...

@Aunty Jane said 'You have to ignore a lot of scripture to push a trinity.' One must ignore more than all of Scripture. Trinitarianism must escape the confines of Definition Logic Language Usage To do this, they invoke mysticism and dualism. To questions you ask the dualism is to invent a...

Well stated exchange. Predictably, I side with Aunty Jane. Barney, you take things personally. AJ and I attack ideas not people. When your ideas are challenged you retreat into victimhood. Great question. Last year my Pastor pissed me off asking a variant of this question. I am not ONLY a...

I believe salvation is instant. Sanctification is like taking a shower. Little by little you become clean. Some people don’t take a proper shower and just get dirty then have to start all over again.

There you go again, falsely basing things on emotions. Yoda said to Luke Skywalker Do or do not! There is no try. You have not repented. Embrace a non-emotional concept of repenting. Repenting is what a swimmer does in a pool when they get to the wall; they change directions. An objective...

As another poster pointed out, it is not about feelings, emotions. Consider the-evaluating your definitions. A true Christian abdicates the throne of being the ruler of their own life. They defer to another as their master, who knows more and loves them more deeply than they love themselves...

A Christian not yet baptized is still a Christian. Learn to honor others more than yourself.

Have faith in God but mind you, keep your powder dry.

Staying in place during societal collapse is NOT 'dying for Jesus.'

Some denomination seems to advance this theory. It goes against the Book of Hebrews.

The RCC now is like the Pharisees of old, except they have no political power. Their claims of authority just become more shrill every year.

Of course it is an insulting expression. From Catechumen | Definition of Catechumen by Merriam-Webster Definition of catechumen 1: a convert to Christianity receiving training in doctrine and discipline before baptism 2: one receiving instruction in the basic doctrines of Christianity before...

It's posts like this turn off so many people as it embraces death, if not suicide. Christopher Columbus is credited with bringing Christianity to half the globe. He did not do this by 'living where God put him.' We have no obligation under God to commit suicide. We have no obligation to put...

They don't need us; they need Christ.
