    Repentance Vs. Eternal Security

    All I see is that someone has a poor understand of eternal salvation. Eternal salvation says that those who are in Christ can never be removed from Him. Those who are in Christ would necessarily repent for any sin that they commit.

    Translating the Greek

    I am going to read this when I have time, so I can do your response just, however I don't think 'oti is in that verse at all, actually, I am completely certain that it is not. I merely used 'oti as an example of a word that has been translated as different English words. It was just my attempt...

    Translating the Greek

    Mounce is a hard textbook to go on! PM me and I would be more than happy to give you some advice as to where to start and help you understand anything that is confusing to you.

    Translating the Greek

    I am curious what you all think of the following scenario. When you translate the Greek (be it a manuscript or one of the Koine Greek New Testaments) you come upon various problems. The one that I am going to focus on is the problem with Greek words having multiple meanings. For example...

    Repentance Vs. Eternal Security

    I do not see the issue here. Eternal security goes hand in hand with repentance. We repent daily, always striving to prove ourselves set apart from the world, for God has set us apart from the world. But we do fall, the life of a Christian is cyclical. You experience states of great...

    Who nailed Him ?

    Thank you for summarizing my post! Although I do not wish to be attached to the very post-modern concept of "less of two evils". Evil is evil and should be avoided always. It doesn't matter if it is "less" than another evil, is one sin "less" than another in God's eyes? Surely not! Sin is sin...

    Big, big churches

    Small churches I prefer. They are more personal and you tend to feel more welcomed. That being said, and speaking as both an attendee of a smaller church and as a future pastor, it is much more difficult to preach the gospel truth in a small church. When you approach certain topics, pornography...

    Who nailed Him ?

    The Romans did the physical act of nailing, though it was not the Romans who sentenced Him to death. The Jews sentenced Him to death and the Romans, in fear of an uprising, allowed the Jewish sentence to carry through. Clearly the Romans should not have allowed the execution to happen, Jesus was...

    Thinking Of Giving It Up

    I've been there. I once hated my testimony. It freaked me out that some people had these wonderful testimonies that could bring you to tears and all I had was "I bought a Bible and then Jesus got a hold of me". I'd like to talk to you about the testimony thing, shoot me a PM and we can figure...

    What Is Your Story?

    A direct copy and paste from my assignment in class which required me to write my testimony out. I have always believed in some higher power. In fact, I have always believed in a singular, supreme, all-awesome being who took at least a mild interest in the affairs of the world. As a child I...

    HEY GUYS!!!!!!!!!

    Oh man! Not new but, back! I will try to stay back this time. My life took a turn for the awesome this summer and I just had to put my computer usage on the back burner. But now that I am in school, without work, I feel like this is a great place to come back to! A little catch up! My name is...

    What Should Christian Dating Look Like?

    Hey guys! Well, I am off to college now. A few weeks ago I sat next to this girl in class and we hit it off. A week later I asked for her number and she gave it to me. We began to hang out, silly stuff really like playing Manhunt and getting lunch or dinner. Last week I stepped up our...

    I desperately need some advice very badly

    I don't know your heart, only God does, but let me just turn this around for a moment, so that any fear and resent can hopefully be removed and so that you can view this a little more objectively. Imagine that you had been married before and had six children before your then husband decided...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    Let's assume that you are a perfectly normal person (as I do believe you are) and are not interested in any of the odd and perverse forms of pleasure some people enjoy (painful such stuff). Now, be truly honest, as I am sure you will quickly see where I am going with this. I also ask that, for...

    A Compilation of End Time Related Scripture References

    That's what I intended to do, get it from God, which is why I was hoping people could help collect the scriptures that speak of end times. There are lots of them and many are in obscure and unexpected parts of the Bible...

    Child Birth

    Romans 8: 18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because...

    How To Idenify FALSE Teachers!

    Truth! A false teacher preaches for ulterior motives, though he may not even know it. It may be, truly, that he himself was led astray by a false teacher, but down in his heart the truth lives, as it lives in all men (for this is the cause of guilt and shame). I just pray that those who live...

    The Fallacy of Freewill

    Lord, why do men not read that which I write, and then insist to pose questions which would not even exist if they merely read that which I wrote? My only conclusion, of Father, is that through love and patience You wish that I further glorify You! Brother, I cannot stress enough: MEN HAVE...

    Old People Smell

    That's why I love walking down the laundry/soap aisle at work. It is like walking down a memory lane of smells and they all relate in some way to my grandparents. Moth balls, borax, and the like! I don't see what's wrong with old people smelling. If I had a problem with that than I'd be a...
