    The theif on the cross misconceptions

    That’s essentially how I see it. The thief entered by faith at the very end of the old covenant, similar to the way Abraham and others entered. 👍

    Divorce...

    These types of things are exactly why I push for a cohesive understanding of the topic. As stated in an earlier post, in my opinion few other (non salvific) false doctrines are as harmful. 😞

    Divorce...

    Hey bro 👋 yes I’ve read that. Sounds like you’re familiar with topic as well. My above question (derived from Mark 10:12) was meant to be thought provoking. KJV Mark 10:12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. ESV Mark 10:12 and if she...

    Were women able to divorce their husbands?

    Divorce...

    If Jesus truly stated, the only reason for divorce is fornication, then why do we have the Deuteronomy 24 law, which allowed for divorce and remarriage for reasons other than fornication?

    Divorce...

    Love the enthusiasm, truly 👏 Do you have a concordance? Strong’s concordance is free to download on iPhone, tough to do a study like this without one. Best to start in the beginning at Deuteronomy 24:1-4 and ask ourselves if Jesus voided this part of scripture that clearly allows for divorce...

    Divorce...

    The topic is one of the most heated to discuss because everyone, from the babe in Christ to the aged Christian, seem to be willing to die on their respective hill. Yet the doctrines vary widely to say the least. No other (non salvific) false doctrines do as much damage in my opinion.

    Divorce...

    Deuteronomy 24:1-4 divorce and remarriage provision is made and guidelines set by God for fallen man. Luke 16:17 it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the law to become void. In the very next verse Luke 16:18 Christ voids the Deuteronomy 24 law? Anytime we come...

    Divorce...

    The guidelines for divorce are laid out In Deuteronomy 24:1-4 Jesus never changed those guidelines. People get hung up on Jesus’s words in the gospels because they don’t understand the context. Pharisee types were manipulating the law, they were sending out their wives without the proper divorce...

    Do you have unfettered freewill?

    No. Unfettered: unrestrained, uninhibited. Romans 7 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18...

    Struggling reading through romans 8 & 9 and Calvinism.

    Any form of Pelagianism or Arminianism is heresy. There’s nothing more to say.

    Struggling reading through romans 8 & 9 and Calvinism.

    Welcome to the club… lol. Once seen we see it everywhere. Not just to you but to all who read this. A God centered view of creation is imperative. God created the heavens and earth and those who dwell within for His glory. Let that sink in. The triune God already had perfect company he didn’t...

    Is The Earth Flat Or Round?

    I’m leaning towards flat, I don’t see any conclusive evidence in scripture to disprove a flat, stationary earth or prove a space-ball. Also, I was a land surveyor for 20+ years, curvature observation and calculation are completely absent in this field. In my opinion, either the globe is...

    how can I be assured as a Christian that I am born again ?

    You're teaching falsely, the new birth is taught by our Lord and the apostles. Here are a couple verses that come to mind. 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and father... who has caused us to be born again... 1 Peter 1:23 for you have been born again... The new birth is taught throughout...

    The only Evidence of Salvation - by Brother Gregg Jackson

    Read the OP my comment was attached to then read my post again. It was a hypothetical rebuttal to the OP. Notice it is in italics, ending with “not a true story…” Point being, we (Christians: those who are born of Spirit) are commanded to judge and given the tools do so rightly. The OP...

    Be Perfect As Your Heavenly Father Is Perfect.

    We’re commanded to do many things in the Bible we cannot do. Why? The simple answer is two fold. 1. The natural man hears the command realizes he cannot comply of his own strength causing a turning to God. 2. The spiritual man, the Christian: one born of Spirit, hears the command and sees...

    The only Evidence of Salvation - by Brother Gregg Jackson

    If I were to be faced with someone like this I would conclude they are not and never have been of saving faith. Which raises the question, why the two different conclusions from those who supposedly have the same mind, the mind of Christ? 🚩
