Fine! Struggle as you will. Instill controversy where none is merited as you will. May the :Lord lead us and guide us all as He sees fit so we can fulfill the pirpose He has for each of us.

Thanks. I did not include this possibility, but have heard it before and personally have no problem with it. As CYN has said, good Friday IS a Church tradition. As far as I learned it actually was not INSTITUTED as an official Church Holy day until the 4th century (after Christianity became the...

God so loved THE WORLD (john 3:16)! He died for all who would believe God and place their faith in His finished work and resurrection from the dead. Are you one?

FoC...the 7th day Sabbath was already established for members of the israelite covanànt but not the leaving of your place to go to synagogue or temple for corporate worship.

Oh! My misunderstanding. Sorry. Traditions of men often replace God's own word (Jesus warned them of this). So here is some history for you to consider. As you know, Messiah made His first resurrection appearance when the disciples were gathered together on a 1rst day of the...

It did not. You entirely miss the point as you hàve always done. Your fixation on insistence (as always) that all other (around 15) scriptures be interpreted by a literal rendering of this one (just to stir up contention and division) in my opinion, is possibly demonic. I will pray the Lord will...

No You are attempting to twist the word of God. The 1st day is not their or a new Sabbath. That was a Roman Catholic decree only after Constantine made 7th say Sabbath worship illegal..

Anytime. In His shem Brother Paul

Dear FoC, may the Lord bless and may His Spirit guide... To begin with let me clear up one thing. NEVER in the Torah is it EVER commanded that all Israel (the very people with whom He has this covenant) is to get up out of their place and go to some synagogue, Tabernacle, OR Temple to...

I say Lewis was sadly mistaken in a number of ways. His first error was to confuse "the apocalyptic beliefs" of some of the first Christians with what Christ had actually taught in this chapter. His second error was to interpret verse 34 as referring to the generation who was standing there...

The language of Nicea...One OUSIA in three Hypostases. Each deals with it as the Spirit has led them (assuming they actually have His Spirit and are being transformed into His image over time)

Every one of them has to do with the responsibility of the human to respond. Some toward God and others from Him (preferring to be lord of their own life). We are not robots with a grand puppet master, so I cannot fathom how you do not see that at a point we choose and others will not (hence...

\ Fine. I simply disagree and free will is NOT Pelegianism. Pelegianism says our salvation is our will and choice and salvation is ONLY by grace THROUGH faith. People often misunderstand this because they were influenced by Calvinism and the problem is that Calvin wrote his Institutes based on...

That is a non-answer!

Adam, to whom God spoke directly, CHOSE to eat of the Tree against God's loving warning. So of course he had free will. Otherwise God made him do that which God instructed he must not do. Also his spiritual death was not punishment but consequence. Just like when from love we tell our child...

Because some angels (like God Himself) can come in human form and this "form" also has regenerative capabilities (and genitalia), otherwise the form is NOT human. This is how they may have interacted with human females (which Scripture describes as daughters of Adam not daughters of Cain, though...

The Key is this. Noah "believed" God, not just believed in God, and it was therefore counted as Righteousness (like father Abraham). This is the difference betweeen actual faith and mere intellectual assent. Many alleged "Christians" today claim they are saved because they believe in God, but do...

My thoughts are that when one commits suicide because they do not like their life then no but IF one suffering from mental illness (say Schizophrenia), and they do this, God knows their brain has caused a disturbance of their ability to percieve reality correctly and will extend His grace due to...

Now then, according to the Scriptures a murderer is almost always a person who sits and premeditates the killing of another human being for some ultimate selfish reason such as hatred, jealousy, political power, revenge, profit, control, etc.! Originally mankind was made in God’s image, so when...
