    Free Quran coming to you

    As a quick introduction I would like to mention that both my parents are muslim and therefore I was raised in a muslim home until I was 17 when I went off to college. I, just like many other muslim kids had to learn to read the Quran in the native Arabic and also study the history surround...

    Who Wrote Genisis?

    Holas!The first five books of the Old Testament, also called the Pentateuch, also called the Torah, suggest that they were written by Moses, to whom they were revealed. Some Facts:A. The Books do give indications of Moses as its writer:He was ordered to write historical facts (Ex 17:14; Num...

    A question for Christians about Jesus Christ:

    Hallo Truth_teller,Jesus came in order to fulfill all the old sacrificial laws by being the perfect sacrifice for our sins, in order that we may have a personal relationship with God. This does not mean that we can sin as much as we want and it will be fine. In fact, it should be the opposite...

    A question for Christians about Jesus Christ:

    Hallo Truth_Teller!First I would like to welcome you to the board. Also, am I correct in my guess that you are a Muslim? I noticed that after mentioning Jesus Christ you added the usual p.b.u.h.? Anyways, either way you are welcome. Unfortunately I am not sure exactly what you mean by asking if...

    Why believe the bible is inerrant?

    Hallo Lunar,Sorry to leave with the impression that I was done explaining. This is not so. The reason that Matthew's genealogy is different from Luke's is simple. The genealogy which Matthew wrote was that of Jesus' traced through the line of Joseph, giving him legal right to the throne of...

    Why believe the bible is inerrant?

    Hallo Lunar,I am not going to answer all your questions right away because of time restraints but I will tackle each one one at a time.To understand first why Matthew would write a genealogy of Jesus we have to understand that there are certain requirements which would have to be fulfilled in...

    Jesus' Resurrection, Like Jonah

    Remember my question has nothing to do with Easter festivities themselves. By this I mean that my question does not ask for an answer as to why there is a rabbit, or why it is called 'Easter', or why the colored eggs that are hidden. I am only interested in whether you can show how Jesus has...

    Jesus' Resurrection, Like Jonah

    Well, I am posing this question, because if you don't know enough about how the days are measured, then anybody could say that Jesus lied because he was supposed to be like Jonah being three days and three nights in the earth but he was only there for two nights. If we can not answer a question...

If anyone knows of this topic having already been discussed somewhere else, please point me to it and I will terminate this thread.Since we are...

    Salvation depends on

    Hallo kriss,I am not sure why you think I am being sucked into anyone's doctrine, as I merely quoted some verses. I only follow what the scriptures tell me I am to follow and ask God for discernment that I may not be led astray. The only thing I was trying to show with the verses that I quoted...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Awesome Mr. T. Franklin!I had a lot of fun really digging into the word and I look forward to more discussions on any topic you may bring up.Shalom in the home.

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Here is my conclusion then for this topic so far:If I am truly saved, and I trust in the Lord and follow his will, then I am saved, and whether I sin (and repent) I am still saved and nobody can snatch me out of His hand.(Which acknowledges your comment: "...which shows our salvation as not a...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    If Charles Templeton truly accepts Christ in his heart and repents for spreading lies about God's word and leading people astray, then he will be saved. But he must turn one hundred eighty degrees from his former life. Just because he did works before means nothing, since we are not saved by...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Revelation 3:16 was written to a people that had lost that fire they once had had for God. This is a warning against people who find themselves complacent about their faith and do nothing to spread the word. Again, when I read a verse like this, I am always reminded that I must self examine...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    I think Franklin, that you have gotten to the bottom of it with this verse, and I will explain why. If someone rejects Christ after supposedly being saved, then they were not saved to begin with. If say, I go to church, or a buddy tells me about Jesus, and I say enthusiastically, "Yes! Sounds...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Notes on Hebrews 6:6if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.Remember there is a great difference between falling and falling away. Falling away isn’t just falling into some sin, it is actually...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Franklin,I am not sure if he was ever saved at all. The very short answer when someone asks me about losing salvation is that if we truly give our lives over to the Lord and let Him be the master of our lives, then we are saved and we have nothing to worry about. If we sin, and really, we all...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Ok Turtle Franklin,Here are some pretty cool notes on the verses which you referenced beginning at Revelation 3:3And I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life: By this, the overcomers are assured of their heavenly citizenship. In the ancient world, death or a criminal conviction could...

    Can a Christian Backslide/lose salvation?

    Hallo Turtle Franklin,First just in case anybody does not already know:Revelation 2 is a letter to the the church in Ephesus. The first couple of verses clarify who it was written to, then establishing Jesus as the head of all churches (the verse about holding the seven stars). Then the letter...
