Your example does not hold water. It is based on man's understanding of responsibility and blame. However, with God we are just as responsible for the eating of that apple as was Adam! Rom 5:18 Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to...

Haven't you ever had a flat tire?

I fried some eggs on it once, and it was so flat that they didn't slide off!

Maybe you give YouTube too much credit for stating the truth, or perhaps you personally know someone who has taken this path in their life and are trying to justify it as being OK. But the truth is that it is not OK and more often than not causes further problems as well, such as influencing...

I hear what you are saying! I have also struggled with the Old Testament. Books like Numbers and Leviticus make my mind wonder because they often seem to be saying the same thing over and over. I also have trouble with books like Daniel and Revelation because of the various visions. You might...

Denise04, Although my prayers seem often weak, I will set aside time to pray for both of you. I do know that the Lord has often helped me and I pray that He will comfort you both.

We all come into this world as fallen creatures. Sin and the desire to sin clings to us because of the failure of the 1st Adam. Our Desires come from a corrupt heart because of the fall. After being saved our desires change but sin still clings to us. We are not yet perfected! If there is...

I'm not perfect and if I get something wrong I like to admit that I'm wrong and learn from others. However, I cannot see his view of scripture and he cannot see my view. Therefore, we both learn nothing from each other. Maybe there will be another topic on which we have some agreement...

I wish that I could thank you for your input. But, as it is, we are so far apart on our understanding of scripture that we should cease to argue. It is pointless to go on because we will never agree.

I have no idea what version of the Bible you study from, but I think you need to throw it out and get an accurate one! Then re-read what is proclaimed and pay attention to the words WE and US. Who are these words referring to?

It would be well for you to make the following scripture an in-depth study to gain a better understanding of the true meaning! Ephesians 1:3-10 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as...

To answer your question, YES! I believe that scripture supports the fact that God chose a particular people to be His. God did all this in order to demonstrate his mercy, to the praise of the riches of his glorious grace. As the apostle says, He chose us (not because we were, but) so that we...

Reformers do no such thing! We all come into this world as rebellious creatures. God is not under any obligation to save any of us at all. We should therefore be ever thankful that He saved us when others remain in a lost state!

Have you ever noticed that Christ often refers to Peter as Simon when He is speaking of the old man?

I live in Texas! Even though I was born in Oklahoma, I have spent most of my life south of the Red River. However, I have fond memories of my younger years growing up in and around the Tulsa area. Go Sooners!
