Just so you know, my grandparents were Ukrainian Orthodox. I've been to various services, including weddings and funerals. The RCC & the Orthodox split over a few small issues, overtly, like the filioque clause, and whether to use leavened or unleavened bread for communion. But the basic reason...

If you knew anything of theological history, you would know that John Calvin never created TULIP! "The name sometimes implies that they stem directly from John Calvin. In truth though, the formulation came after Calvin as a response from the Reformed to the Arminian Remonstrance that posited 5...

So then why did Jesus & his disciples quote the LXX 80% of the time? It was obviously perfectly acceptable to them. Let's leave the Hebrew Roots nonsense out of this discussion. Besides, the way Brightfame is presenting this has nothing to do with Calvin. It's like he made up his own little...

Bad Eisegesus again by you! You just ripped a verse out of context, then ripped it out of even the verse! Let's look at it again! "31 God exalted him to his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins" Acts 5:13 NET What is this verse part of? It is a...

@Fundamental! First you mangle English, et maintenant, le français, aussi? C'est horrible! Arrêtez ça, s'il vous plait!

You know, I don't believe we can save ourselves. Most people who really examine Scriptures realize God had to Initiate it. Simply because, as Eph 2, says, we are dead in our sin, and God makes us alive! "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when...

If the Jews establish a third/fourth temple, (Solomon's temple, Nehemiah's temple (rebuilt!) Herod's temple, (not a Jew but an Edomite!) makes three!) The third having been destroy in 70 AD with the sack of Jerusalem, and actually burning it to the ground! So if Ezekiel's temple is built, is...

We do not save ourselves. God saves us. We are dead people, before that point! Dead people can't make choices! "As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this worldand of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit...

Bot really! It was the filoque clause that separated the RCC & the Orthodox Church! I just googled this, and it is listed as a cause. I studied this in church history and in theology. Here is what I learned. "The primary causes of the Schism were disputes over papal authority—the Pope claimed...

When I first became a Christian, back in the early 1980's, a pastor did a series on revival and coming before the Lord with music and singing. He marched through the Old Testament, Sunday after Sunday. I think I still have the notes somewhere. I should find them. Anyway, I had been a...

Glad to hear of the retirement. I am happily retired, too! But not about the cancer. I just learned another cousin died of brain cancer yesterday. I have one hanging on in California with end stage ovarian cancer. She has lasted 6 years, but ran out of meds. Well, the last one was sort of...

John wrote this verse about something he saw in his vision, apocalypse, revelation, that happened to him! JOHN. It was not written to all Christians, to the church, and certainly NOT to you. Of course, we should never try & worship a man! Jesus replied to Satan, when he was being tempted, by...

Just to mention, these verses also apply to our Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. For the last 2 days he has been denying he ever coerced or made anyone take the vaccine. Yet, he made every single person employed by the Federal Gov't take it, or lose their jobs. He made it so people who...

Me, too! Except my experts have explained that communication is important, not brevity. In fact, brevity has led to nothing but confusion & illiteracy in schools. I was a teacher for many years. Writing & speaking clearly, can always be understood, whether short or long. But brevity does fall...

God doesn't want you to quote Scripture? Why? Because you don't know the Bible well enough to quote it? Because your reading comprehension is so poor, you don't understand what any sentence says, let alone a verse of Scripture!? Because you are dyslexic? You kept calling Wolfwint Mr Minty! I...

I went back to 9:40 and listened till around 11 minutes. All she sang over and over was "you're never gonna let, never let me down... it's not in your nature!" Over and over. Did you post the wrong video? That one had nothing theologically or musically worth while in it. I have been a...

Finally, a page full of Scriptures, all probably found with a key word search of a concordance. If you are going to use a verse/passage, explain it, please. You have one short paragraph, then you throw out a bunch of verses from all over the Bible. Sorry, but you cannot possibly be a...

All those verses of prophecy, yet you fail to quote them, preferring your own words instead! There is no point in sharing, unless your starting, middle and end points are Scripture. You are just someone with an over inflated ego, lecturing about something that you have made up! It's not...

What a strange idea! That Jesus would go from being male to female! Before I was a Christian, I was a very strong feminist. But more first generation, in that I believed in equal rights for women, equal pay for equal work, that sort of thing. I never bought into equity or woke culture, because...

Thanks for this link! I got it in a Ukrainian group I am part of, and the source was not referenced, because the group has a rule against any links!
