Jac, some material comes to mind that I urge you to get, for it deals with this very topic, and has great spiritual application and enhancement. Silent Killers of Faith, Bill Crosby, The Rest of the Gospel: When the partial gospel has worn you out, Dan Stone, and Grace Walk, Steve McVey. Each of the...

Can God be found? Yes, by those who seek him Proverbs 8:17 -Those that seek me early shall find me. OR No, not by those who seek him Proverbs 1:28 -Then shall they call upon me but I will not answer; they shall seek me early but shall not find me. Lamentations 3:8 -Also when I cry and shout, he shu...

Aviatrix, You aren't being a smartaleck, as much as you are acting on ignorance, being uniformed. :wink: John 9:5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world. Matt. 5:14 You are the light of the world. Jesus' followers are the "body of Christ" on earth, so as Christ is the Head an...

the thing that worried me was that i believe for the same reasons as Martin, which means the only reason i believe is because i was taught to. Is believing like that really, sincerely believing, or is it simply blind following that won't get me into heaven? Hmm, I don't know, maybe we should ask th...

Hey Turg y , Check this (piece of an article by Christopher Price) out Did Mark Believe in the Resurrection? The difference between an ending at v. 8 and the endings we are used to from the extended Marcan ending and Matthew, Luke, and John is striking. There are no resurrection appearances by a ris...

Jude 1:14
Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, "Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints,

The idea of soul sleep looking forward to the bodily resurrection also creates problems with regard to the appearance of Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration Matt. 17:3; Mark 9:4; Luke 9:30-31. Bart, Advocates of soul sleep would say this of the Mount of Transfiguration: Matthew 17:1-9 ( The Mou...

I need to pick on your verbage a bit. Yo usaid, "Do you believe those in hell will be alive forever?" Now, are you using "alive" in the modern English sense or in the Biblical sense? You further asked if they will have "life" that will "last forever." Again, ...

Someone on another thread gave these reasons why oral tradition is not reliable. 1. Those passing on the oral tradition and "preaching" have an agenda, first and foremost, to spread the word and get followers. 2. Those passing on the oral tradition will tend to omit or change aspects of th...

Oops, sorry Turg, I mean Turgy. JK! I wonder, is the following quote a little bit recognizable (about the church in general, not you personally)? The pink cloud causes the feeling of wanting to live for Jesus entirely. But when the cloudy feeling has disappeared, one still wants to live for Jesus, b...

The "Divine Decree" aka Predestination in Islam Islam has a very explicit doctrine of Predestination, referred to as “al Qada wal Qadar” and “the Divine Decree.” It is a central facet of the religion as seen in Mohammed's response to the following request: “Inform me about Iman (faith). ...

"...that it could not be but that Adam would sin is equally true, considering Adam was subordinate to the decrees of God, determining what Adam would do out of the freedom of his own will." (Christopher Ness, "An Antidote Against Arminianism," 1700, p.54) If Adam had free will, t...

No Reformed theologian I've read saw sin as 'normal'; rather, as a horrible guilt, both in the believer and non-believer. If they teach that the redeemd are "sinners, saved by grace" then it is implied that sin is normal for believers. When they say, "we all sin" as if it is a r...

I am not sure this helps, but I have thought about the question "who made God" for sometime now and it dawned on me that the idea that God has always existed in an infinite way, isn't as far-fetched, irrational, or mysterious as some may think. I'd like to make a comparison. Think of numbe...
