I'm starting this thread in order to respond from the Scripture on the UR verses that are believed to be support for the universal salvation of mankind. Just post the verse and comment on why you believe it supports the UR. I will be happy to respond. I'm looking for a respectful conversation...

My Mon passed away almost 4 weeks ago. This is the song she requested to be played at her funeral. She sang this song as a child in her little country Church. I hope you enjoy it!

Anyone heard from @Ferris Bueller lately? I miss his posts!

In 2 Samuel 7:16-17, Nathan the prophet came to David with some wonderful news. God had told Nathan that David's throne would be established forever through Christ. In other words, the Messiah would come through the lineage of David. The next visit from Nathan the prophet would not be such a...

22 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? The stark reality of this Psalm portrays the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Gospels narrate the fact of the Crucifixion, this Psalm portrays the feelings of the...

John 19:28-30 "After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. (Psalms. 69:21) Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus...

2 Cor. 13:5-6 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates." Paul is telling us to check up on our faith from time to...

Before we explain the One Baptism, let's familiarize with the word "Baptism" as found throughout the Scripture. First, one must realize that the word "Baptism" is not always referring to water! A clear example of this is found in Matt. 3:11 from John the Baptist. "I indeed baptize you with...

I certainly disagree with John Calvin on his theory of predestination, but find him to be a brilliant mind, a thought provoking writer. I have read parts of his commentary many times over the years. Some time back I was reading his commentary on the creation, and as usual a thought provoking...

She is 86 and went to the emergency room last evening, they kept her saying she has some serious problems. They are running tests today to see what's going on. She is the most Godliest person I know, that is saying a lot considering the people I know! She raised me in the ways of the Lord...

@robert derrick, before we begin to study the power of sin over man according to Paul, we must first define what Paul meant in Rom. 6-8 by the word "sin." But first let's define the sin nature according to the Greek scholar Kenneth Wuest. "The sin or evil nature is actually the Adamic nature...

Pelosi-Taiwan Live Updates: House Speaker Visits Taiwan in Defiance of China "House Speaker Nancy Pelosi departed Taiwan on Wednesday after a whirlwind two-day trip that included a meeting with Taiwan's president and vows to preserve democracy on the self-ruled island in the face of threats...

Simply put, Christ had to be placed on the Cross by the Law of God. God had said in the Law of Moses, Deut. 21:22-23 "And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in...

It was totally and completely "the Grace of God" which brought about the salvation of man through the Death of Christ. it certainly wasn't any goodness on the part of man which brought this about, as should be obvious. In fact, man has no argument at all. He may claim that he's not responsible...

As I see it, the dividing line between the True Church and the Apostate Church is the Cross of Christ. The majority of the Churches in America today no longer preach the Cross or sing of the Blood that cleanses from all sin. Joel Osteen said his Church will not speak of the Cross or the Blood...

"He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Micah 6:8 If the born-again believer will practice honesty, show mercy, and walk in humility, he shall do well in the eyes of the Lord! These...

We all have our opinions and ideas of what a liberal Christian stands for, I would like to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. Hopefully some will explain exactly what it means to be a liberal Christian, why you label yourself in that way. Maybe explain why you feel the need to place...

Sorry folks, I can't go along with this! I know it's a huge argument but the scripture makes it clear that man can lose his salvation through unbelief, that is, no longer believing in Christ for whatever reason and just walking away from Him. This is what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is all...

What does Paul mean by "you also are become dead to the Law?" (Romans 7:4) Paul here uses an analogy of marriage, when a spouse dies, they are freed from that Law and can remarry without committing adultery. He is speaking of being "dead to the Law" and now married to Christ, no longer under the...
