    Advice on cheating husband HELP!

    I am so sorry you are going through this. I don't know what advice to give you, partly because I don't know the laws and customs of your country. I would seek out the help of a professional counselor (preferrably a Christian who does not know your family) to give you advice on your options and...

    How the very early manuscripts were safeguarded from error

    P52 is the earliest and most famous fragment... Dated around 100-150 AD. More info can be found here...

    Christ Jesus came into the world to save ALL sinners

    What is free willism? This is like saying that God set up some dominoes to knock down a target. He creates all the conditions necessary for an elect one to be saved. Then when the time is right, he knocks down the first domino and watches as each subsequent domino falls. Then when the final one...

    Christ Jesus came into the world to save ALL sinners

    Thank you for the answer. I take from this that your doctrine is that God must grant to a person the ability to believe before he can excercise that ability and that once granted he has no ability to refuse to believe. And your doctrine also includes the converse, i.e., that those who are not...

    Christ Jesus came into the world to save ALL sinners

    Maybe you reformed people can help me understand your theology better... For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. (1 Co 1:21) This verse clearly says that God has chosen...

    Why didnt God take away the choice without violating freewill

    Everyone has their own view of "free will". Some see it as a pathway to eternal life if the person makes the right choices with his free will or a pathway to destruction if he doesn't. Others see "free will" as not existinng for mankind because they think God makes all peoples' choices for them...

    How many of us understand Grace?

    I do wonder where this POV comes from and what its purpose is.

    Don does not defend his positions. He just states them.

    So you can confirm you are promoting sinless perfection?

    Bible Study Best Bible Commentaries

    There are many commentaries out there. Probably the best approach to finding one you like is to look at them online. Blue Bible (web site) offers free Bibles and some free commentaries. If you find one you like, you can buy a hard copy. But I don't know why you would do it because hard copes...

    How many of us understand Grace?

    Some people do not believe all their sins are forgiven. It is hard to imagine being at peace with God without that assurance, but some people insist they are. But most of them will admit they are not sure that what they have will last into eternity. It's very sad.

    So am I reading you right that those who you previously characterized as "true Christian sinners" are not truly Christians because if they were truly Christians they would not sin?

    LOL, you're the one who brought up the topic... see bolded content above.

    Hilarious.

    How many of us understand Grace?

    Maybe. But we do know from the discussion in Hebrews that the reason those people did not enter "His rest" was that they what they heard was not mixed with trusting God in their hearts and because they refused to cease from their works as God did from His.

    How many of us understand Grace?

    I do not understand the desire to be under the law. It is almost as if people truly believe they can satisfy its requirements and escape its condemnation. Maybe you can explain it to me. Start by giving me one law that you do not need Jesus' forgiveness for breaking.

    How many of us understand Grace?

    The exodus serves as a warning to people today that would hear His voice and harden their hearts and as a blueprint for those who would hear His voice and trust Him. The ones who died in the wilderness did not enter the promised land. But those who placed their trust in Christ to deliver them...

    Ok, you say there are true Christian saints and true Christian sinners. That means you think there are some Christians who have no faults. But it appears that you think some of them could develop into true Christian sinners. If so, let's talk about how that happens. Would you say the following...

    God alone decided that He would save those who trusted the seemingly foolish message that Jesus died for their sins... For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. (1 Co...
