    Are all people infected by sin?

    God didn't change His mind to say that He gave people under the Old Covenant free will but took it away from people under the New Covenant. God does not prevent anyone from believing. The atonement is effective for the entire human race. The idea of limited atonement is not Biblical. Jhn 3:16...

    1st Century New Believer Teaching A

    Sorry. I didn't see this post. There are several things to consider when discussing the meaning of a word. They include; the culture in which the word is used, (Modern western, ancient Chinese, Druidic Britain) the language itself (English, Urdu, Swahili, Japanese, etc.) The time of use...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    I see that quoted all the time while the following is ignored: Jhn 12:32 “And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.” So, the Father has drawn all peoples. But He has not forced anyone. God does not prevent anyone from coming to him In fact, He constantly calls man...

    someone who claims to be a believe but is a thief will not enter the kingdom of God.

    1st Century New Believer Teaching A

    I was referring to the thief. Believing is not a "free pass" to continue to sin. Rom 11:20-22 Well said. Because of unbelief they (the Jews) were broken off, and you stand by faith. Do not be haughty, but fear. For if God did not spare the natural branches, He may not spare you either...

    1st Century New Believer Teaching A

    It's not right to steal. A believer knows that stealing will keep him out of the kingdom of God. (1Cor 6:9-10). Someone who is not a believer(surprise) may not believe there even is a kingdom of God. Jesus emphasis there is on being Christ-like. Maybe you have heard the saying, "The only Bible...

    Because he's taking advantage of the people's hospitality. When Paul stayed a log time with Priscilla and Aquilla, he worked with them as a tent maker. So, while a prophet should receive hospitality when he comes to prophesy to a church, once he has done his prophesying, he should move on.

    You totally missed the point by lifting a portion of the passage out of its context. And you have not bothered to read Ps. 14. All you have demonstrated is that "proof texting" will lead you down the wrong path every time. And that's where you went.

    AH. So YOU know exactly what God would and would not do. Pardon me if I am not convinced of the validity of your expert and infallible knowledge of exactly what God would and would not do.

    Are all people infected by sin?

    Rom 6:3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? Gal 3:27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Justin Martyr's writings are sometimes helpful, but not God-breathed. So you know better than he. And...

    Are all people infected by sin?

    So, according to you, Paul and Peter were heretics. Got it. How many people are the thief on the cross? God's not a jerk who would keep someone out of his kingdom for failure to do what was impossible for him to do. Acts 10?? If you bothered to keep reading, you would find: Act 10:47 “Can...

    Harlot and the Beast

    Many will not even notice when that happens. Mat 25:44 “Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?"

    Are all people infected by sin?

    That was an important exercise. Much of today's political rhetoric used to move people to action is intentionally vague in order to connect words and political slogans and raise emotional responses. It is important that we avoid imprecision in our apologetic. The only aspect that I would...

    1st Century New Believer Teaching B

    The document I posted is the teaching of the earliest teaching of the Church outside the new Testament. A great many people have no idea what the early church taught. What the early church taught is what they were taught by the apostles. The word "eucharist" means "thenksgiving." It refeers to...
