Communicating with the spirit world is not the same as being closer or closest to God. Quite the opposite. The spirit world contacted by Animists (American Indians) is actually the world of evil spirits -- demonic spirits. Shamans communicate with these spirits, but God forbids communication...

Really? Kindly tell us which of these carcinogens does Burger King serve up (and we are only looking at the A's and the B's -- we have hardly gotten started): Acetaldehyde (from consuming alcoholic beverages) Acheson process, occupational exposure associated with Acid mists, strong inorganic...

All Christians believe that God is sovereign. There can be absolutely no argument there. But the Bible makes it crystal clear that in the matter of salvation we are to focus on THE GRACE OF GOD, not the sovereignty of God. It is the grace of God which brings salvation to ALL MANKIND. Which...

It should be clear to all Christians who do not read the Bible through the lens of TULIP that since Christ died for the sins of the whole world (all humanity) -- and this is clearly stated in the Bible -- then it cannot be possible that (a) Christ died only for the elect (Limited Atonement) or...

The Bible is quite clear in that Christians should live at peace with others. However we should notice two things in this verse: (1) if it is possible -- which means peace is hard to come by and (2) as far as it depends on you -- which means that it is not altogether in your control. In any...

THE GOSPEL CONTINUED TO BE PREACHED 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. THE HEARERS BECAME BELIEVERS AT THIS POINT -- THEY GLADLY RECEIVED HIS WORD 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same...

In brief the Bible is the truth of God. One can either believe it or disbelieve it, but that does not change the truth.

There is no such thing. Regeneration is a SUPERNATURAL work of the Holy Spirit in those who repent and believe. And yes, there must be a conscious decision to obey the Gospel. And if you are saved you also made a conscious decision. So don't deny it.

As I just explained, THAT IS TOTALLY FALSE and contrary to Scripture. Now please note carefully, take it to heart, and believe that this is the Word of God (Acts 2:37,27): CONVICTED BEFORE RECEIVING THE HOLY SPIRIT 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto...

1. As long as a person is unsaved, his or her sin nature is contro, and there is no new nature nor the indwelling Spirit to overcome the power of the sin nature. Thus "slaves to sin". 2. At the same time, the unsaved are not constantly and continually evil (totally depraved), and the existence...

Perhaps. But it would be far better to focus on (1) the supernatural power of the Word of God (the Gospel), and (2) the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit to convict and convince those who hear the Gospel. Total Depravity ignores these fundamentals.

TULIP simply turns the Gospel on its head, and then these are called "The Doctrines of Grace"! T = TOTAL DEPRAVITY = No one can believe the Gospel unless he is first regenerated U = UNCONDITIONAL ELECTION = God chooses some for salvation and many for damnation L = LIMITED ATONEMENT = Christ...

He was simply following the example of the Catholic Church (out of which he failed to come out completely).

And why should that be a problem for any Christian? After all the Bible tells us that the New Jerusalem is 1500 miles cubed [12,000 furlongs = 1,500 miles]. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand...

A split personality. Not good.

That is not quite correct. Turning from sins and idols and turning to Christ are all part of repentance. Otherwise turning to Christ is a sham. And it is the recognition that Christ died for our sins that leads to repentance. For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had...

Then imagine how hard it is for God and everyone else to decipher what you said in this post.

Ideally avoiding argument would be perfect. But when there are wolves prowling around pretending to be sheep, then those who know the truth from Scripture have no choice except to expose the wolves and their false teachings. That is an act of love for the sheep.

Instead of being committed to Reformed Theology, why don't you focus on being committed to Bible theology (which is not the same at all)? What I have found is that those who are ensnared by Reformed Theology would rather cling to it than cling to the truth. You have a bias against...

Why would you say that Hal Lindsey was tickling the ears? While he may have gone too far with some of his ideas, he was not trying to mislead people but to warn the unsaved.
