Re: Convince me

yet one question, how is jahve more real than thor, ra, asator, ahti, krishna, perkele, turisas and all the other ''pagan'' gods? By jahve I presume you refer to Jahwe or Jehovah, the Hebrew name for God transliterated into English. The big difference is simple and big. Jehovah, the God of the Bibl...

Re: Communication with God

Cubeus, I am sorry for the confusion you have been through in your Christian experience. Don't lose hope, though. I will try to answer in an orderly but short manner to make it as comprehensible as I can. 1. You are correct to feel assurance that you have been saved because you have put your faith a...

Re: Children of God are Born Again with Eternal Life

A very good presentation. I think we are "on the same page." However, I think you have just explained a OSAS position, really. So, what about the verses listed above and the fact of new birth as children of God with eternal life? Would you say that you have been born of God and have eterna...

If the matter that makes up the earth did not travel faster than the speed of light, it would not have traveled back in time, of course.

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Thanks again for the input. It is quite helpful. Again, space is meaningless without matter. No matter, no space. Yes, I understand what you say that it was before the big bang cooled enough to form particles of matter. No, I am not alluding to Humphrey's model here. Just trying to flesh out an idea...

Children of God are Born Again with Eternal Life

Here is a list of Scriptures indicating that when a person is born again as a child of God, he receives the gift of eternal life. If a person could be born again and then lose his salvation he would have to be unborn and lose eternal life. But, since eternal life is eternal it cannot be lost. If it ...

Re: Do Christians apologize?

OK, for those who require a commentary, here is what the Bible really says. ;) If they shall fall away; apostatize, renounce Christ, and return again to unbelief and sin.-- Put him to an open shame; expose his name and his cause to public reproach. The defection of one from any cause, who has been r...

Re: Do Christians apologize?

Can you provide a commentary or two that claims this? Why a commentary? Are they superior to Scripture?? Let us read the Scriptures for ourselves, study them for ourselves being careful to read and understand the correct grammatical meaning of the words, pray the Holy Spirit guide us into all truth...

Re: Do Christians apologize?

B.W.
Again, well said. Ultimately, God alone knows where anyone else stands, and God alone is judge.
I can only be certain of where I stand.
