So, what's the point in continuing this discussion with you when you've 1) accused me of saying God makes men sinners which I have not, and 2) accused me of purporting a Calvinist belief set which I...

Rather than reply with such tone, why not present your alternative? I think my previous response was clear, and I think one with an honest approach to a discussion would see it as such. If you do not...

Why certainly. How is it just to bring wrath against the innocent? When a judge sentences an innocent man to death, do we find such a sentence just or unjust? If we find that such a man is indeed...

I don't think the scriptures get into specific age groups in any sense whatsoever. That's telling in and of itself in my mind. Why not make it a point of emphasis to set some sort of age? I think the...

So, considering scripture puts forth the concept that God will spare the righteous (reference Abraham's petitioning God on sparing the righteous in Sodom and Gomorrah) rather than suffering His...

Did they not experience the wrath of God? Does God bring forth His wrath without judgment? That would make Him seem unstable in His actions. No, I believe God is calculating in what He does.

Out of curiosity, how would we reconcile the justice of God with the fact that the earth was flooded thereby killing all the supposed "innocent babies" during that time? Same question for Sodom and...

If man is made in God's image then why is there a need for us to be transformed into such an image as insinuated by the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:17-18?

2 Corinthians 3:17-18
Now the Lord...

I think the Book of Job makes this subject a little more complex than the default position of either "God did it" or "Satan did it." The Book of Job reveals that Satan has been given power to affect...

My posting of the article wasn't so much in reference to the shroud itself. The commentary on the resurrection was what was really sad. If the interviewee was even remotely knowledgeable about the...

The amazing inaccuracies found in this article would nearly be comical if they weren't so sad.

I think the Kris Allen example would indicate that being a professing Christian on the show may help one's chances. Not that it really matters anyway. The show is silly. I think the anti-Christian...

You may be on to something here, but I think it more likely that it is two-fold. I think it more likely that God will remember sin no more and because of that neither should we. The Hebrews 10 verse...

Well, this thread really isn't about whether a Christian does or does not sin, so you cannot really call something a moot point when you are not addressing what the point is.

So, do you think it could be argued that under the New Covenant it is actually sinful to be conscious of sins?

Anyone else find it at all annoying that when all this news broke President Obama called the Afghan leader from his limo to express his condolences?

We train soldiers to be killing machines. ...

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach...

Yes, so you agree, then, that it is the law that condemns here and not the devil? What I'm getting at here is that often when a person feels condemned you will hear people say, "That's just the devil...

You often hear Romans 8:1 quoted regarding the fact that there is now no more condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walking according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
...

Yes, the born again again again again mentality is one of silliest in the church these days.

I believe that when Jesus comes again it will be in judgment, and this judgment will entail the destruction of all the former things. His coming will be to judge the earth and all its inhabitants. ...

Considering that Jesus is speaking of His people filling His church in Revelation 2 and 3, I don't see how the above could be accurate. Jesus specifically refers to those people in those churches as...

I don't see anything wrong with that. I think Paul's main concern in 1 Corinthians 14 is the fact that unbelievers are in the church and they think the Corinthians are fruitloops.

I wouldn't say it's false. Out of order, yes. False? Not necessarily.

I think if you stop reading at the end of 1 John 1 then you have a good argument. However, it is not wise to stop reading at the end of chapter 1. The beginning of chapter 2 reveals that the...

Remember this, though . . .

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. -- 2...

I would look at things a little differently. I agree with you that Paul wouldn't have claimed that Peter wasn't born of God. However, I do believe Paul would say to regard no one according to the...

Your interpretation is how I would understand it as well; however, I have seen the alternative point of view mentioned quite a bit, also. I thought I would present them with the opportunity to...

Yes, I was referring more toward sinfully lashing out in anger. I should have been more clear.

How do you intepret the meaning of walking in the flesh versus walking in the Spirit? For example, do you think walking in the Spirit is more of a state of being or identity since we are now in...
