Howdy Don (@ephfourfive), Happy New Year to you too, and welcome to CChat :) We're glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us! God bless you!! ~Deuteronomy 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul...

Hello @ServantoftheMostHigh, first and foremost, we cannot keep the Law of Moses "like Jesus did". If such a thing was/is possible, then neither the Incarnation nor the Cross would have happened (because they would not have been needed). I like how theologian Dr. Leon Morris puts it (in one of...

Hello Aaron, welcome to CChat! We're glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :giggle: Our future does seem daunting these days, but like you, I trust that the Lord has this, no matter what. This is hardly the first time that 'the truth' (His truth) has been so...

Hello @Jaxy, I agree with Nehemiah6 (and others), if you are choosing a first Book of the Bible to read, The Gospel of John is the best place to start. That said, there are MANY different read and/or listen through the Bible in a year programs out there that all begin tomorrow on New Years Day...

Hello Theresa (@tilda091), welcome to CChat! It's nice meeting you too, and I look forward to seeing you out on the other boards :) Happy New Year and God bless you!! (Numbers 6:24-26) ~Deuteronomy

"The Law and the Prophets" refers to the entirety of the OT Scriptures as a whole (take note of Matthew 7:12 in my signature line below too). "The Law" by itself refers to the Pentateuch/Torah, the 5 Books of Moses/Genesis - Deuteronomy. ~Deuteronomy

Unfortunately, it is BIG-TIME news for the secular media. She is a crossover artist, but everyone knows about her Christian roots, so this is a big deal for the LGBTQ+ movement. The newest thing is holding Franklyn Graham out as the only Christian who has a problem with her hosting the wedding...

The doctrines of Original Sin and Total Depravity are (generally speaking) agreed upon by Romans Catholics and Protestants (Arminians and Calvinists), are they not :unsure:

Hello @XavierJesusLovesIndia, the doctrine of "total depravity" doesn't teach us that we are evil through and through, IOW, that we are UTTERLY depraved. That definition doesn't even describe Satan, who is, if nothing else, "good" at being "bad' ;) Instead, the doctrine of total depravity...

The UCoC is a different denomination than the "Church of Christ" denomination that she belongs to. Her's is FAR more conservative (or at least it always was in the past anyway). I don't know the reason for it, but I did note that her niece's wedding is happening on her farm, not in her church...

Why are the Kennedy Center Honors ribbons rainbow colored? It's Not What Some Assume. Designed by Ivan Chermayeff (the visionary illustrator and graphic designer responsible for the logo of multinational brands like National Geographic or NBC), the rainbow-colored ribbon symbolizes the range...

She is a member of the Church of Christ denomination. In the south, in particular, they are non-instrumental (which seems an odd choice to me for a professional singer/musician). Oh well, her denomination is not the problem.

Hello again @CorrectiveLens, I thought that I should point out the typo from my last post to you, post #26. It should have said, "First off, do you believe that the word "perfect" (in the Scriptures above that you posited for us) means 1. mature or 2. without fault?" Sorry about that!

Hello again @CorrectiveLens, unfortunately, you can post Scriptures until the cows come home, but if I don't understand what YOU mean by them in this case, they will probably be of little additional value. Let me ask you a couple of questions. Maybe that will help clear things up a bit for me...

Hello again CorrectiveLens, thanks for getting back to me :) While I agree with what you just said, I've never met or heard of a Christian who is perfected in holiness and righteousness (such that they never sin/never fail to do God's will) on this side of the grave, much less from the moment...

Hello CorrectiveLens, that's an interesting thought. However, can we truly consider someone who is always grieved over their sins and penitent, someone who uses the remedy that God has provided believers with (in order to be forgiven, cleansed and restored to full fellowship by Him) .. e.g. 1...

Hello @XavierJesusLovesIndia, interesting/important topic for a thread. Thanks for getting it started :) Question, do you want us to use 2 Peter 1:3-11 alone to answer the "how" question in your OP title, or is it ok with you if we base part of our answer (to the "how do we confirm our calling...

Hello @persistent, the key to understanding JW's is at their leadership level, what they refer to as The Watchtower Bible and Track Society, or just The Watchtower Society. This group of men claims that they are God's prophet on Earth. Here's a question for you. What is the Biblical test that...
