Re: Is the Name-it / Claim-it doctrine.. of God?!

There is a popular and ever increasing doctrine that is spreading through out much of the church world known as the Word of Faith doctrine. They profess that, with enough faith, one could speak things into being. Example, if you are in need of money or a new job, then all you have to do i speak fai...

Let me add too and clarify more regarding God’s Love, Humanity’s fall in the Garden of Eden, the doctrines of an eternal Heaven and Hell. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve appear to be like children, lacking insight and wisdom. The Serpent lured this lack with enticements to be like God, calling ...

Re: The Prediction of Intelligent Design

The physical nature of dark energy is probably the biggest mystery in all of science. At present, a lot of astronomers or cosmologists believe that the dark energy is the vacuum energy corresponding to Einstein's cosmological constant. A smaller number of scientists thought that the dark energy mig...

Come on man, repentance is NOT WORKS. I would yell it if I could, but I cant. Election is according to foreseen faith. FAITH IS NOT WORKS either. 1 Pet. 1:2 - To the elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of...

Cook and Locker, I'll respond soon but right now my father is not doing well. He has a terminal illness and it is a question of when rather than how long. I'll be on and off line and will add more to thread when I can but for now, I am tied up for the time being. God Bless! Sorry to hear this - I'l...

I have a question - PL you mentioned earlier that the number 666 referred to Nero but Nero Died in 68 AD. How could he be the anti-Christ and still fulfill prophecy concerning standing in the Temple and, etc?

Can you help me figure this out??

Thank :)

Has anyone heard of that story before?

Problem with the 'Gospel of Thomas' is that it inserts gnostic teaching into its pages. Paul warns us against gnostic teaching in his writings in Col.

Re: Alternate Eden Story - Gabriel Asks God Why

I took an OT class in college in which the professor (also a Baptist Minister) referred to a dead sea scroll about a conversation in which Gabriel asks God why he put the tree in the Garden of Eden if he knew Adam and Eve would eat from it. God's answer of course was about free will. I know, or at ...

I do not so clearly see the rebellion in their action, definitely not, say, as Satan was a rebel, or people who defiantly choose to reject light and embrace selfishness in a persistent way, as did the Pharisees in Jesus' day who hypocritically claimed to "see." I am much less certain than...

While you claim that you are not an Arminian, your view of justification is identical. It is nothing more than a "salvation by works", even is that work is simply saying to God, "Thy will be done". PL, can you explain the Arminian position better? Jac - could you then respond? I...

Jac3510, I am having trouble understanding your point - Do not modern Calvinist also teach that a person is saved by grace through faith and that repentance and good works are the evidence of being born again? These works do not save but are rather an outgrowth of true saving grace and faith. Can yo...

Yes, it makes sense but before we continue I would like to explore Cook's ideas more. I was wondering if Adam and Eve were in some type of spiritual adolescent stage of development where God, being fair and just, righteous and just, merciful and perfect in all His ways — foreknew they would rebel a...
