Hello FollowerofShiloh, the question is, what are phrases like "the world" and/or "all men" referring to when they are used in the Scriptures :unsure: I believe that they can have different meanings, depending on the context, from "everybody, everywhere for all time", to "not just the Jews"...

Hello again Homwardbound, it's true that, unlike 1 John 1:7, the forgiveness and cleansing of our sins by God in v9 looks back to the Cross as a past, present and future reality that has, for us, already been accomplished (since both words, ἀφίημι/forgive and καθαρίζω/cleanse, are in the Greek...

Hello @homwardbound, since our sins need to be atoned for in order to be forgiven by God, where else can this be accomplished, other than at the Cross, since the Lord Jesus' precious blood is required to make atonement for all of our sins, past, present and future :unsure: That said, we...

I'm VERY sorry to hear about this Penny :( Praying for you! ~Deuteronomy (David) p.s. - BTW, if you'd like us to pray for you in the future, an easy way to do so is to use our Prayer Requests Board, just FYI.

If.................... .............is to be understood and taken as a general principal and (therefore) means, "justified" both before men AND before God (instead of just before men), then (as one of the Apollo 13 astronauts famously said), "Houston, we have a problem" :oops: Here are just a...

Hello MerSee, the above is obviously true in regard to us, because unlike God (who sees the heart), we have no other sure way of proving, showing/demonstrating (to ourselves and/or to others) that we have truly been justified/saved by God. This is something that James also points out to us (in...

Hello @OkieLady, first off, since I see that you are a new member, welcome to CChat! I'm glad that you found us, and I hope that you'll decide to stay and continue to discuss things with us :) That said, over 50 I am (as are ~many~ others here), but single I am not, just FYI (though we do have...

Hello @SadBunny, this is interesting, but it may not be quite what you are looking for: DTS Free Online Education (Dallas Theological Seminary) You could also see if a few other CChat members would be interested in establishing a weekly Bible study right here via PM group. God bless you...

Gotta be swan quills :) About the Swan The swan is a popular symbol for Martin Luther and is frequently found in Lutheran art. The history (or perhaps legend) behind the references to Luther as a swan are quite interesting. Here is a brief summary of the history behind the swan references...

Hello @kinda, if there is a "most important" Reformer, I think that would have to be Luther. I say this because he's the one who is credited with getting the Reformation started (on the day that he nailed his 95 Thesis to the church door in Wittenburg, which was October 31st, 1517). Of course...

Hello @Stve, and welcome back to CChat. I'm sorry to hear that you feel defeated right now, but this seems like a great place to start working through it/start talking to others about it :) God bless you!! (Numbers 6:24-26) ~Deuteronomy (David) 1 Thessalonians 5 23 May the God...
