    Penal Substitutionary Atonement

    Hello Trevor, thank you for your reply. I know that this is a controversial subject, so I'd like to hear a bit more from you about it (how you see it, that is), particularly about the basis for the atonement and how/why it allows the guilty to be set free in the system or concept that you hold...

    Can the bible become an idol?

    Thanks WIP, and apologies to you Riven for the thread drift! God bless you!! --David p.s. - if it would be best for the thread to remove my off-topic posts, please don't hesitate to do so. Thanks again :)

    Can the bible become an idol?

    Hello again Mr. G Lee, I have one or two additional questions about the above, but I'd like to start with one about the text above in bold. Assuming that you are using "Son of man" to refer to the Lord Jesus Christ then, as the Bible tells us, He is God from everlasting, but He remains both God...

    Can the bible become an idol?

    Hello Mr. G Lee, I'm not sure what you mean by that. Please elaborate. Thanks :) Also, why do you believe that the word of God is "temporal" when the Bible makes it clear, again and again, that God's words are eternal 🤔 For instance: Matthew 24 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words...

    First, Praise GOD! Nice looking forum. Hoping to find some guidance and wisdom.

    Hi Ken, welcome to CF! I'm sorry to hear that your life seems like a nightmare right now, but the Lord is able to turn what we see as bad (even nightmarish) around and into something that is exceedingly better than that 🙂 In fact, He promises that that is exactly what He will do for those of us...

    Here are a couple of short, interesting articles about this and a related topic. Enjoy 🙂 ~https://www.gotquestions.org/bibliolatry.html ~https://www.gotquestions.org/bibliomancy.html --David

    Compromise/Modification of Likes/Dislikes

    Hello SupporterOfCristo, many of us tend to "major in the minors" (so to speak) at times by focusing most of our attention on a certain aspect (or aspects) of the faith that, in the end, do not have true, eternal consequences. These are matters that we can try to find common ground on and, if...

    John 10:25-29. Comment

    Hello CherubRam, the NIV translators (as well the translation teams of all of our other translations/paraphrases) could have chosen to translate 1 John 5:11 as you are attempting to do above, but none of them did, INCLUDING (once again) the non-Trinitarian "translation" that was done by the...

    John 10:25-29. Comment

    I meant to add this passage to an earlier post but failed to do so, so I will do so now. I suppose that I should also point out that this is but one of many passages in the Bible that points to the Lord Jesus Christ as the Source of life for us, physical, spiritual and/or eternal. 1 John 5...

    John 10:25-29. Comment

    Hello again CherubRam, it's too bad that the Scriptures weren't written and translated long before April 30, 2022 AD so that Pope Pius XI couldn't have forced his secret Trinitarian understanding into them 😉 You know, what we really need is a Schism and a Reformation so that everything the...

    John 10:25-29. Comment

    Hello CherubRam, a truer statement has rarely been made 😉 as ALL of our translations and paraphrases disagree with your assessment of v28, including all of our so-called "literal" translations (see below). However, I think that the real kicker is the JW's New World Translation. Like you, JW's...

    Bible Study SINNING WILLFULLY

    Hello wondering, the OT often speaks of sinning both unintentionally and deliberately .. e.g. Numbers 15:29-31. The former was forgivable via sacrifice, the latter resulted in the sinner being cut off from his/her people. I believe that a willful sin amounts to knowing that you are about to...

    The Paraclete was released if and only if Jesus died.

    Hi Tony, are there Scripture passages that speak directly to this, to the 'permanent' indwelling of the Holy Spirit in NT believers, that is, as well of His temporary indwelling of ALL who were filled by Him prior to the Day of Pentecost (that Acts 2 describes as happening on Pentecost...

    Theophilus Wrote Luke and Acts

    Hello again CherubRam, there's never a problem with that, just be sure to tell the rest of us what you're up to :) Personally, I enjoy considering alternate perspectives/possibilities because, even if they don't end up being true, they usually cause us to look at the passage in question from a...

    Theophilus Wrote Luke and Acts

    That's the thing, CherubRam, there aren't "two stories" here, there's just the one, the one that seemingly everyone (every "scholar", that is) from every corner of Christendom (and beyond) believes together about Theophilus (that he is the ~named recipient~ of Luke and Acts). There's no evidence...

    Theophilus Wrote Luke and Acts

    Thanks for the link to Wikipedia (though the articles there, by unknown authors, can hardly be considered the work of "scholars"). Also, unless I'm missing something, the article that you linked us to ~disagrees~ with your beliefs/position and instead, agrees with the position that is held by...

    Theophilus Wrote Luke and Acts

    Please point us/link us to the scholars who teach that what you believe is true, even if it is only on the basis of speculation alone, as I cannot find any evidence for your belief from anybody else, as I just said recently. Quite frankly, even when "scholars" are forced to make their points by...
