    Christian-Interpreting the Old Testament

    The main difference between the Old and New Testament is the two different covenants. Testament means covenant. The Old Testamnent has many types and shadows of the New. We have the ceremonial law and the moral law. It contains history, wisdom, poetry, etc.. We must be very careful to "rightly...

    Christian: Arminianism vs. Calvinism

    God created man good and upright, without sin, only the "possibility" to sin. If the man chooses to sin, this does not make God the author of sin. James 1:13-"Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone." The same...

    If A Tree Falls Down When No One's Around Does It Make A Sound

    If you see a beautiful building, you know there was a builder. If there is a creation, why would there not be a Creator?

    Christians Only: Yet ANOTHER THREAD on the Trinity!

    If Jesus was not Almighty God, He had no power to save. John 1:1 is clear that He is God as confirmed by Rev.19 and Thomas worshipped Him as God. Jesus forgave sins and only God has the power to forgive sins against Himself. Jesus was not a god, He is God! Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are all...

    Christians: The thief on the cross

    I agree! In Eph. 4:5, Paul states there is only "one baptism." From vv.4-6 he is speaking of aspects of God's salvation, they are essential for salvation. Therefore, the baptism of the Spirit is essential, for it places the regenerated sinner into the body of Christ. 1 Cor. 12:13-"For by one...

    Christians: Blasphemous?

    I believe it does border coarse jesting and is not the best witness. Some do this not to verbally witness and think they are being evangelistic. I don't think its blasphemy, but I caould live without it. Thanks...

    Jesus' sacrifice - what was the point?

    The point of Jesus' sacrifice was your sin and mine. God is holy and sin must be punished. We have all sinned and therefore, if judged by God's perfect standard [10 commandments] we were all doomed. In His mercy Jesus came, kept the commandments perfectly and filled His accound with perfect...

    Christians Only: Yet ANOTHER THREAD on the Trinity!

    The confusion many times arises from not recognizing the Jesus was fully human and fully God. He was God in the flesh. Therefore, some scriptures speak from the point of Jesus' humaness such as Him praying to the Father, etc. But there is scriptural proof for His deity: John's gospel opens its...

    A personal relationship with God?

    I can give you my experience and millions who profess the same. Jesus said, "You must be born of the Spirit." I was "born again" over 30 yrs. ago. I was 23 when I was converted. God reveals Himself thru scripture which is His self-revelation. As I began to read the scriptures, He was talking to...

    A challenge to show me wrong

    Proper understanding of the freedom of the will in the fallen human condition is assisted by distinquishing "free agency" from "free will." "Free agency" is a mark of humanity as such. All humans are free agents in the sense that they make their own decisions about what they will do, choosing...

    Christians Only: Yet ANOTHER THREAD on the Trinity!

    Thomas said, "My God." The scriptures must be rightly divided and interpreted in context. Just because Sara called Abraham lord, in no implies that "Lord" means only what it did in Sarah's case. The Greek translation of the O.T. uses 'Lord" for "Yahweh."

    Christians Only: Yet ANOTHER THREAD on the Trinity!

    That is a very weak arguement! He was worshipping Christ as is clear from the text.

    Christians Only: Yet ANOTHER THREAD on the Trinity!

    The Bible always refers to God as a male. That takes nothing away from women.
