    The trinity ,can you be saved and not believe in it?

    Consider, trinity affords all Glory to Christ to make his seat like the Most High (God of the godhead). To do so, from where did the Glory come? It written - all Glory is God's. If I should blaspheme against Jesus and say Jesus is not God, will I be forgiven? It is written - yes. If I should...

    Let us do away with the homosexuals & sodomites

    You are objecting to the usage of agape in the same sentence as rape (or hate). That is ironic though. Agape as used by the early Christians for the breaking of bread where sodomites/catamites were forbidden. The septuagint written ~3rd century BC used to show that sodomites are forbidden is...

    Let us do away with the homosexuals & sodomites

    I did not see the movie " Prayers for Bobby: A Mother's Coming to Terms with the Suicide of Her Gay Son." , but look at the meta-data from wiki Writer Leroy F. Aarons (December 8, 1933 – November 28, 2004) was an American journalist, editor, author, playwright, founder of the National Lesbian...

    Let us do away with the homosexuals & sodomites

    “Give me just one generation of youth, and I’ll transform the whole world.” —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Fiddle with the language and strip it of its meaning, in one generation the 2 testaments will be dead. Remove the sin of homosexuality, same sex marriage is feasible. This is post-modernism taking...

    Speaking to homosexuals

    This is somewhat hypocritical. Get the beam out before you clear someone's mote. Right wingers twist the meaning "miscarriage", what are you doing with "homosexuality"? I don't see principle here, I see self justification. Eerdmans Dictionary on homosexuality. You know when someone has...

    Evolution has no design by its very definition. As for the many falling away, Matthew 7:3 "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" How do you explain your rejection of science while using technology derived from...

    Speaking to homosexuals

    I think there is a disconnect here and the first premise is the start of the confusion. arsenokoites is not abuser but as per Strong's 733 Usage: a male engaging in same-gender sexual activity; a sodomite, pederast. How ASV should translate otherwise is not understandable. The consensus...

    Earth Age

    That which "limits" God, is our existence and His Loving the world. The universe is the way it is because we are in it and require it to be this way to exist. Not because of a primitive cosmology in which He must do continual renovations. Do you not have a car? Cellphone? Have you ever...

    Earth Age

    If you mean Col 1:17, you misunderstand the "up hold" translation. It means basically "stand united" rather than atlas-like holding up the world. Again I am a OEC (old earth creationist). My objections to YEC is their cosmology which implies that God made a flawed universe. If God says its...

    Earth Age

    The image of universe should include the Wisdom of God. Would God create a universe that requires his constant attention? Did He not rest on the 7th day? Why must God change His Schedule to accommodate the seasons of man? It is true He Can do miracles. But why must He 24/7? Faith should not...

    Earth Age

    If the universe is all we can observe, taste, hear and touch, are they not valid factoids of the existence of universe. As the universe is created by God, then are they not valid factoids of Existence of God. There many nuances that can be quoted (see debate between Danny Faulkner (YEC Answers...

    Earth Age

    I agree with your evolution assessment. I am an intelligent design proponent. I am also an old earth creationist as I disagree with the implications of YEC. Essentially, man can not dictate to what God should or must do. To agree with observations, God must do fantastically mundane things...

    "Hey, that's right" There is so many things wrong with YEC. Two things made by God, the universe and the Scriptures cannot contradict each other.

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    I always took Ecclesiastes 7:27-28 with a grain of salt, but seeing this OP, I think the salt is not so necessary.

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    Note to self. Anyone saying 1 Tim 3:2 says "husband" as "spouse" in NASB is a liar.

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    So changing the word "husband" to suit your sensibilities. You should read up on 2 Peter 3:16. You have enough discernment to know abominations? I doubt that. But consider this, when you have a 100% correlation between effect A and effect B, without knowing what is the cause and effect...

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    Not sure where you are getting this from, but ... If your contention is 1 Tim 3:1-13 are basically the qualifications of both the overseer and the deacon, then there is a conflict with v2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to...

    A Double Standard in Christianity?

    I am merely quoting the Scriptures and the translations. Just the facts, ma'am. What you do with it is ultimately your business. I do what is commanded by the bible. If your heart offends thee, cut it out! ... or at least call a good friend to do it. I leave the last words to you. Have a...
