    A little of history - Latin

    I know, I meant I forgot to mention them in my post.

    Right, I forgot about them.

    A little of history - Latin

    As I said before, the Latin language came from the primitive romans. Until they united into the Roman Empire they were essentially individual villages that warred between each other from time to time, when they joined together they formed Rome and Latin became a language with more universal...

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    No, you misunderstood what I was saying. Angels are spiritual creatures but they can come to earth so it only stands to reason that physical creatures could enter the realm of the spiritual. Humans also are made in the image of God whereas angels and animals are not, Humans are therefore both...

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    Yep, I'm not argueing with eternal life, I just don't think where eternal life will be spent is entirely clear from the Bible.

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    Interesting... I'm hearing some opinions I hadn't considered before and that's good. I'm not wholly convinced we will spend all of eternity in Heaven but I could see why some of you would think a portion of eternity would be spent in Heaven. To clarify some terminology when I refer to heaven I...

    Bible Study Why Sacrifice So Many Animals?

    JoJoe brought up Leviticus 19:5, the sacrifices of the Old Testament are not all that different from the monetary gifts to the church described in 2 Corinthians 9:7. That is why there were so many animal sacrifices, because the people wanted to give, and as a person who lives in a State with...

    The stumbling blocks of reformed doctrines

    Hang on a second, here's why I'm getting slightly confused in this thread. Is "reformed doctrine" another phrase to refer to Calvinism? Because this whole time I was thinking you meant every reformed doctrine, basically all protestant doctrine and what their stumbling blocks are... Well Oz I...

    The stumbling blocks of reformed doctrines

    Here's what you said Oz, I've emphasized the points of my confusion. "I'm of the view that to use the language of 'total depravity' opens one up to misunderstanding as it can give the impression that unbelievers can do no good. That is not the case. I prefer the language of 'our inherited...

    The stumbling blocks of reformed doctrines

    I don't believe it does, Lutherans sometimes refer to "total depravity" as "the bondage of will" or by the Latin phrase "simul iustus et peccator"(simultaneously sinner and saint) both of those get into some hefty Lutheran theology but Luther also used "total depravity"(albeit in German or...

    The stumbling blocks of reformed doctrines

    The Lutheran agrees. :confused2 Man I must have missed the third page... I'm all for this being the "stumbling blocks of Lutheran Theology", there so much misunderstanding about us it's not funny... but I digress. I'm gonna go read the third page now. :study

    The stumbling blocks of reformed doctrines

    Great post Malachi, since I've kind of put my foot in my mouth every time I post in this thread I've just been observing so as to avoid doing that again but I'm still here. I'd like to contribute some more passages to Malachi's point, I'm keeping them as short as possible for the sake of brevity...

    [__ Prayer __] Newbie

    Finding a Church would be another step in the right direction, I don't know what I would do without my Church, we're very close knit so we try to help out everyone as much as possible. "So he told them this parable: “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not...

    Heaven Or Paradise?

    This is intended to be a lighthearted debate because in the end it doesn't truly matter what you believe on this front since we'll all find out either way, the important thing is that you believe Jesus took on the punishment for your sins, so the specifics of what we will discuss here has no...

    The stumbling blocks of reformed doctrines

    Deborah: I think we're close enough on this one not to "quarrel over words" so to speak. Chopper: Old and New Covenant theology are the same, they both point to Christ as the atonement for our Sin. One looks ahead for salvation and one looks back, Christ died for all Sins past, present, and...

    Oh please now you're just nitpicking at my words, you know full well that I meant the ones who truly believe, you know true Jews instead of false Jews.
