My understanding of the parable is that both sons are lost. The younger son represents the rebellious, overt sinner, while the older son represents the self-righteous, moralistic religious person who thinks he earns God's favor through works. The younger son "coming to his senses" or turning...

Your view that "regeneration doesn't necessarily precede faith", doesn't line up with what the Bible teaches. Regeneration (being born again) logically precedes and causes faith, meaning God must sovereignly renew a person's heart before they possess the spiritual ability to believe. According...

I know exactly what you mean about the responsibilities we have as Church members. The Berean's didn't just outsource their responsibilities as believers to their Shephard. Each Church member plays their own unique role in the life of the Church. Our Minister is our equal in the Body of...

You touched on a very contentious point, by stating that "genuine faith produces obedience as it's fruit". I firmly believe this to be Biblically correct, but the Bible teaches that faith itself is a gift from God. God regenerates (gives spiritual life to) the elect before they believe, which...

It's actually a Biblical view. God appoints Shepherds to protect us sheep from those wolves who seek to devour us with their false teaching. I can't possibly match my Shepherds theological knowledge and wisdom. God gave him the gift of discernment and many other gifts which He never gave to...

The evidence is there, but you won't find it written in a easy to understand format.

It's all in the Bible, you just need someone to help you connect the dots

I don't agree with your interpretation of the parable, because it's fundamentally flawed and it makes no sense at all. Your theology is very strange, I don't know of any theologian or faithful preacher who shares your interpretation of the parable. Our Minister warns about those who invent...

We can disagree with each others views on the Sabbath day, and still have Christian fellowship. If you are in union with Christ, regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and in agreement on the fundamentals of the faith (e.g., the Trinity, the deity of Christ, justification by grace alone through faith...

The Lord Jesus did not teach that keeping any commandments is a requirement for earning or achieving salvation; rather, salvation is by grace alone through faith alone, (both of these are gifts that God gives to His elect). While commandment-keeping is the natural fruit and rule of gratitude for...

The Bible does not explicitly command a literal "change" of the 4th commandment from Saturday to Sunday, but rather points to a cluster of redemptive-historical shifts and apostolic examples. Sunday is not a mere human invention or a direct verse-by-verse "swap" of the calendar day. Instead...

The Bible does teach that the Christian Sabbath is Sunday, also known as the Lords Day. I have already made reference to some scriptures that support the change. I'm sorry you don't accept what those scriptures teach.

You won't understand what the Bible teaches, until you follow the rules for studying the Bible. Hermeneutics is the overarching academic and theological framework—the "rules and principles"—used to understand sacred text. Xegesis is the careful, diligent drawing out of a text’s true meaning...

No man has ever kept a single one of the 10 commandments. But that's OK because Gods elect are not saved by keeping any of the commandments. Gods elect are saved by His gift of grace, through His gift of faith. He then gives us the gift of repentance, then He gives us the gift of His Holy Spirit...

God didn't write the Bible in a way that you can understand. This is why He appointed Shepherds to teach us simple sheep what it all means. I get the sense that you don't have a Shepherd to teach you anything and that's why you're so confused about everything.

The Apostles never observed Sunday as the Christian Sabbath, before Christ's death and resurrection. It never entered the minds of the Apostles to break the forth commandment, so of 'course they never did it. You failed to take into consideration a few important facts, before you asked your...

That's not true, because the Sabbath was changed to Sunday 300 years before Roman Catholicism existed. The Apostles observed Sunday as the Christian Sabbath.

I see you can't make any sense of the parable. You claim that the prodigal's son was the heavenly Father. Now you claim he was a man. How am I supposed to reason with one who is under such strong delusion

The transition from the Saturday Sabbath (the Seventh Day) to the Sunday Sabbath (the Lord's Day or First Day) is not a cancellation of God's law, but as its fulfillment and renewal in Jesus Christ. The moral principle of the Sabbath remains completely intact, while its specific day changed to...

Your wrong about that because the opposite is true, many laws were actually abolished under the new covenant.
