Is the bible God’s word is a valid question and every Christian should be able to address it with confidence. On a forum like this one we can expect there are some who lay in wait and look for opportunities to create doubts in the minds of those who are unsure of why they believe as they do...

Here is what the dictionary says about heretics: –noun 1. a professed believer who maintains religious opinions contrary to those accepted by his or her church or rejects doctrines prescribed by that church. 2. Roman Catholic Church. a baptized Roman Catholic who willfully and persistently...

Your inflamatory remarks distress me. If you would take the time to pull out your dictionary and at least know what the word means it would be helpful to you. It seems you are confusing propitiation and salvation. One is possible because of the other. In any case I don't think I will participate...

Let me see you think God is a respecter of persons and only a select few have the potential to be saved? My comments are not false when you read the entire sentence I wrote but then again if you want to debate it is convenient to drag words from the middle of a sentence and misinterpret them...

I agree with what I have read so far on this thread. I would offer if you use the laws in the first five books of the O.T. in concert with the N.T. you will get a pretty clear picture of what is helpful to your spiritual growth and well being and what is not. God has given us a great deal of...
