Just a quick note.. One of my lady friends became very irritated with me over this topic, as she is an egalitarian. She appealed to her theology degree as proof that she was more qualified than me to examine this topic :D While I acknowledge the value in academic degrees in theology (mine is...

In regards to those who claim that faith is not a gift of God, and that the Reformed concept of regeneration preceding faith being unbiblical, here's a good response by the Monergism website on this matter: Visitor comment: God didn’t make me believe and he STILL gets all the glory. God is...

The question is simple. Is faith a specific gift, given by God, to the believer? Or, does the believer dredge this up from the resources of his stony heart, in order to receive salvation? This question might sound like an academic, meaningless question to some people, but it is actually the...

Yeah, it's funny how they scramble to squeeze in a thousand years, yet claim others are reading too much into the Bible :D Whatever happened to their literalism? Good case in point..the separation of all mankind into those who receive eternal life, and those who receive eternal punishment...

If he's a dispensationalist, he's wrong. And, he is a dispensationalist. He was a Calvary Chapel pastor. I used to attend a Calvary Chapel, and both him and Dave Hunt were well liked by them. I just glanced at Wikipedia at Chuck Missler's information. Apparently he publicly admitted that...

I think it's enough to make my point.. Women are much safer to have working with youth. I believe statistics would possibly indicate the same thing with married men, though. I don't know about you but if I was a pastor, I'd look twice if a single guy was volunteering for working with...

Here's some figures from 2013: Perpetrators of Child Sexual Abuse Are Often Related to the Victim. Out of the sexual abuse cases reported to CPS in 2013, 47,000 men and 5,000 women were the alleged perpetrators. In 88% of the sexual abuse claims that CPS substantiates or finds supporting...

I don't know..but it's far less than males. If 4/5 are abused by males.

I suspect I'm kicking the hornet's nest again, because certain groups with weak men and dominant women hate this topic. However, the reason I am thinking about this topic is due to being reminded about a woman whose books I have enjoyed. Her name is Nancy Guthrie. I know, though, that Nancy...

By the way, I think women are better suited for some roles than men. As an example, I will submit that it is rare that a women will sexually abuse a child. Therefore, I think that women are better suited for taking care of children, or perhaps even youth. Additionally, instructing other...

Are you complimentarian or egalitarian? I am definitely complimentarian. I do not believe in women elders based on 1 Tim 3:1-7. Anyways, what do you think the role of women are in the church? What are the parameters of acceptable activities? What are men generally better at? What are women...

If anyone is interested in understanding how Pelagianism has infected the American church, I highly recommend this book: The Gospel and Charles Finney: The Tragic Pastoral Results of Bad Theology John Gillespie...

Yes, and Charles Finney popularized Pelagianism for contemporary Americans. There is a very good book on this topic. The Gospel and Charles Finney: The Tragic Pastoral Results of Bad Theology John Gillespie...

This meme reflects a very important theme of Scripture. Pelagians deny the imputed righteousnessness of Jesus. I personally don't think a person can be saved if they have been properly instructed concerning this truth and continue to reject it knowingly.

This meme reflects a truth that Pelagians deny. And, there are some Pelagians on this form undoubtedly. Charles Finney has also influenced many Christian churches in this regards. He was a Pelagian. Yet, in some circles, he is declared some kind of evangelistic hero. Unfortunately, even...

I don't even know what you are talking about. Perhaps you'd like to provide Scriptures rather than your unsupported remarks. If you are talking about a period of time when Jews are spiritually blinded and the predominant number coming to Christ are from Gentile background, I don't see how that...

Trace this quote back to the OT. It comes from Ps 2:9. Ruling over does not mean a period of ruling. Ruling over means breaking them down and conquering them, which is exactly what Jesus does at Armageddon. Here's a note describing the background from the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible...

Individuals here freely admit that they are convinced that the New Covenant does not begin until Jesus' return. This is because they claim the New Covenant was made only with Israel, and they are looking forward to its establishment when the Millennium begins. You might check with your fellow...

You are incoherent. Amillennialists believe that the New Heavens and New Earth begin at Christ's return, after the General Judgment. This New Heaven and New Earth is a glorified version of the Garden of Eden, where mankind rules over creation in resurrected, glorified bodies, under their...
