Theologians call this the noetic effects of sin. It means that sin affects our minds too. Everyone has some bad theology, some are worse then others. Fortunately God will correct all this for us on the other side of the veil.

Is being a Calvinist so terrible? I mean it is what the Bible teaches.........

The Hebrew word means 'missing the mark'. Sin is exactly breaking a command. It is a command given by the All Sovereign and to disobey Him is to earn death. It is no more deep or complicated than that.

Again you show tremendous ignorance in the study of literature, and of logic in general. The Bible is completely different from any of the other works you listed. It is a compendium if books, not a single work. Saying that using scripture to validate scripture is fallacious because it shows you...

You have a fundamentally flawed view if ancient literature. Honestly is is quite staggering for one claiming knowledge in this area. All historical works ought to be considered in their context. Honestly all writing shouls. To compare the Bible to pride and prejudice is to completely...

Staggeringly beautiful response. I returned to put a death nail in this shenanigans to see someone did it better than I ever could. God bless you, and thank you for a clear and concise response.

The Bible isn't subject to man's reasoning. You cannot justify reason or the empirical basis for science without assuming the God of scripture as your starting point. Besides, science can prove nothing. Science by it's very nature (all sciences) are inductive. They logically can only show that...

Beautifully put. Thank you so much for this sound and glorious proclamation of the eternal gospel.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and THAT not of yourselves, it is the gift of God. Eph 2:8. That refers to the entire proceeding passage in the Greek. Paul says grace, salvation, and faith are all gifts of God. None of them are works. None are earned. That is what scripture teaches.

I can't speak for all men, but I'll give my thoughts. Some men use that phrase as a catch-all excuse to do stupid things like cheat or look at porn. Some use it to claim they only go for beautiful women because they can't help how they were made. I will recognize that the visual aspect of...

Agreed and agreed. We do good works as a fruit of our salvation. We do not earn adoption. We love God because he first loved us. While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. This system you have is totally backwards man. It's works salvation. Salvation is by grace.

He is in total sovereign control of us and does as He Will's. We do not come to him and more than clay does. This verse teaches the absolute sovereignty of God.

Exegetic apologetics did a documentary on this. It is on YouTube. I recommend Keith very highly. He is thorough, thoughtful, respectful, and gospel centered. Watch it and you'll find alot of good resources. He sources all his stuff.

I stand by what I said. I am being kind as much as I know how. I won't compromise my beliefs or opinions, but I consider telling the truth an act of love.

This is not an enticement. Not at all. Christian love and care for someone who shares my doctrine and wants someone to talk to is a kindness. At least I think so. I am only trying to help. It's all I can offer.

Didn't say you did or mean to imply that you have. But what I'm seeing is people commenting on her character based on her posts. I'm not saying this to shame you or anything. Just an observation. Also, thanks for calling my offer leary. It's an offer of love. It's all any of us have to offer...

Good point. Just wanted to point that oout

Unless they love them. Never give up on those you love.

You don't have to accept anything. It's an offer. I'm not offering because you ranted. Or because your spewing hate. Or because you threatened suicide. I offered after I saw we agree on EU. It is a tie that binds us. We are family in this. My kind word is that I love you. Believe it or not, it's...

This is not a response to her point. Disability or not, this doesn't contribute to the discussion
