    Eternal Security of the Believer !

    They are very positive indeed, and truly, Christ gives me strength in many ways. The letter is a motivational speech, and works very well. But the end reveals it for what it is. Verse 38 begins: For I am convinced that... Now, I am convinced as well, but only taking into account what is...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    Made for them to keep. Made for God to dwell in. Translated to KJV-equivalent speech (approximately): Made unto them, for God to dwell in.

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    That was not meant as an insult, sorry if it came out as one. I really don't understand what you wanted to say by that, which is why I did not reply and instead asked for a clarification. And the same with the photo. Is a photo OK? If yes, what makes it OK?

    Eternal Security of the Believer !

    Yes, unfortunately so. I think the best thing to do is to pray for them and hope that God will reveal what is needed. @savedbygrace57: You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. (Galatians 5:4) Well, evidently comments are...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    Driving license. Photos of people. And other (living) things.

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    Truly, I congratulate you. A very splendid example of how to cut away the second half of a sentence to prove your point. Made for them to keep. Made for God to dwell in -- the same way you call a church the house of God, which it truly is, as per Matthew 18:20. I am sorry, but I am probably...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    And you are back again to only looking to Exodus 20:4 for the wisdom. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. (Exodus 25:8) It is made for God as well, but also for them to keep in order to be close to God. God did not take the ark away once it was finished, but it...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    I have a bad habit of being observant, and ignoring the context within the posts of others is what you do a lot. I don't mind if people don't remember me. I don't even need people to ever know about me. This is about God, not about us. Oh yes, they will quite possibly be researching Calvin at...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    Which shows exactly that if Exo 20:4 were to be taken literally, you are implying God is contradicting his own commandment. Which he isn't, as JacobBoheme was faster than me to point out. :)

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    So you are claiming that God contradicts himself? Do NOT make any graven images! Well, unless I command otherwise later...? I am not telling you to listen to my opinions, I am asking you to reexamine the Bible, in its own context. Which would have been clear if you didn't take what I wrote out...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    Exactly because a contradiction cannot exist you need to reexamine the second commandment. Would God contradict himself? I don't think so. So it brings up the question of: what exactly was meant by the second commandment, when looked at in the context it sits in? Yes, these guys were masters...

    Is Yahweh and Allah one?

    Again, I am not contesting that there are differences between the religions. But Allah is the God of Abraham according to the Qur'an, so unless Abraham had two gods, which he did not, Yahweh and Allah are two different names of one God. As for the links you provided -- despite a lot of them...

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    While you are the one who only seems to pick on those he can superficially discredit and chooses to ignore the rest. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Biblical evidence about the second commandment and its interpretation I posted about in response to your claims. As stated by Free...

    Is Yahweh and Allah one?

    This discussion seems to have been hijacked. Stormcrow, I cannot deny you are well researched, but unfortunately the points you are making do not relate to the topic. Yes, Muslims don't see Jesus as the son of God or God Incarnate. And so, as well demonstrated, Muslims are not Christians...

    Eternal Security of the Believer !

    The key word to understanding the text is may. It does not say they will recover themselves, nor that they will keep themselves out of the snare of the devil, but that they might. Also, note it says "they may recover themselves" and not that God will recover them. It is through his grace that we...

    Is Yahweh and Allah one?

    Both of which is a belief expressed by a particular religion (group of people). It doesn't tell us anything at all about the true nature of God, as that is something beyond our understanding. Though I'm not really sure what point you are trying to make by this, could you please clarify?

    Wearing a crucifix: yes or no?

    The pitfalls of taking things like this too literally are many -- woodlandapple has a great example of this, and how this strict interpretation is applied selectively. Moreover, even the Bible itself does not interpret the commandment so literally, and it does interpret it: Moreover you shall...

    Is Yahweh and Allah one?

    Not true. How about Jews? They do not worship Jesus as the Triune creator, yet it is not disputable that their God is Yahweh.

    I'm writing a story! :D

    The one thing I am really unsure about is your portrayal of Jesus. If what you were talking about is a messenger of God, he could take on any form, but do not forget that Jesus is God incarnate. He already has a body and does not shapeshift. Now, he can make it so that Erin does not recognize...

    What is the target medium? Will it stay a written story, or is it a theater play, a film?
