    3 Tactics Calvinists Use Against Non-Calvinists

    I do wonder what the motivation behind the 'Calvinist tactics' are in reality. When I came onto this site I had a totally open mind to issues such as TULIP. I knew of it and understood what it meant but other than that uninformed. The first thread I read had me wondering if some of these people...

    The Cambridge Declaration

    Clearly I missed the bit about "a blessing unto all nations but only if the speak an old fashioned form of English which is worshipped as an idol in some obscure parts of a foreign land".

    The Cambridge Declaration

    Even if it is a translation of the KJV it is not the KJV. Languages aren't word for word translatable especially when dealing with outdated, if beautiful, language. It is a racist belief.

    The Cambridge Declaration

    The KJV only argument, apart from being wacky, is also amazingly Anglo-centric and racist. What happened to "a blessing to all nations"? The Bible has been translated into hundreds of languages by wonderful God inspired people. All these foreign Christians are not learning the Word of God...

    The Cambridge Declaration

    I believe them all to be the Word of God. Sorry not going to get into a discussion on this, just too strange.

    The Cambridge Declaration

    Yes British retired in the Philippines. In my opinion the KJV has the most beautiful language and sometimes that just gives an extra feeling to God's message but as to the rest of the argument, yes a weird view.

    The Cambridge Declaration

    I never knew there were such people as KJV onlyers! Are there many such people? I use KJV, NAB (my daughter's), ESV Study Bible which is my preference, plus online other versions. Surely using several and comparing together with commentaries is the best route?

    Who is already in Heaven?

    Totally agree on the last part. And I am not going to second guess God as to who is forgiven for their theological errors. Are you? Of much more concern to me would be the near idolatry in the Catholic Church (Mary and the Saints) and the potential lack of being born again which of course is a...

    Who is already in Heaven?

    Oh please I didn't say we are the ones who get ourselves to heaven. Make it as in get to. Standard English. I am a Baptist I remind you not a Catholic. Yes of course I disagree with some of their beliefs but if you really think they are comparable to Muslims then I worry for you. I look at...

    Is unconditional election biblical?

    Well Well according to some that means half of us are not going to heaven, but I wonder which half? What about the don't knows?

    Who is already in Heaven?

    I agree. I prefer the translation "believeth into him". As far as I am aware Catholics believe in the Trinity, that Jesus is God, that he died for our sins. Do Muslims? To equate Catholics to Muslims or even Mormons is incorrect and shows a lack of love to our brothers. I do worry when I see...

    Nothing will separate you from God

    I am willing to be corrected but my understanding of the Scripture is that as long as you continue to truly believe salvation is guaranteed (and someone who truly believes will still sin but would not give their life over to sin because the Holy Spirit indwells). However if you stop believing...

    When does the millennium begin?

    Where are you getting that "without parables.... Christ spoke not" quote from?

    Who is already in Heaven?

    It is more like 81% now. As to whether Catholics are Christian, I am a Baptist but consider Catholics Christian. To me John 3:16 is quite clear.

    Questions from children

    Thanks for all the answers. She was between 4 and 6 when we were in the UK so I cut her some slack on lying especially such a silly lie. The fact she remembers it shows a level of awareness of wrongdoing. We (plus her 13 year old sister) study the Bible every Sunday for an hour or more and then...
