ahhhh so you have a corner on the true gospel and no one had it right until you came along…. rriigghhhttttt….

he preached salvation by grace through faith alone against Rome's apostasy and false teaching, and that this salvation will always and inevitably produce good works, the 2 (faith and works) must never be confused with one another, but they must also never been torn asunder from one another…. Luther put it like this “salvation is by faith alone,…[Read more]

awww Nick…. come on…. be serious now…. “Calvinism” is merely a nickname for biblical Christianity….. as Spurgeon well said:”The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ June 14 2006,22:10)Hi cubes, I agree. Are not Calvinists known for their loveless legalism? Only the Spirit of the God Who is Love can show us the outworking of the way of Christ. The more men depend on works according to the OT Law the more they turn away from Christ, and unless they perfectly fulfill all that Law they are…[Read more]

I have been hospitalized 3 times during the month of July, each time for about 4-5 days as the pain level has spiraled out of control…..what is true….. could you provide the exact link to the post you want me to read in the Trinity thread…. I started to go backwards through the…[Read more]

oh… btw… no… haven't been to the Trinity thread yet….. maybe later on today, I have had many back operations and spinal and neck fusions, I am in constant pain as a result of the scar tissue on my sciatic nerve, radiating all the way down my left leg into my foot, and severe arthritis in my low back and tailbone as a result of all the…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 27 2006,20:04)Hi E, Is Jesus God or an angel?”So at this point there is somewhat of a question mark about how much one could know about the person of God. Not everything about His person was revealed. The revelation about the person of God continues over time through references to 'the Angel of the Lord' Many times deity…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 27 2006,00:47)Hi E, Your quote;”The other objection to which importance attaches is the answer of Jesus to one who addressed Him as 'Good Master'—'Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God' (Mk 1018). It is not obvious why Jesus should have objected to be called ' Good Master,' such a mode of a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 27 2006,00:23)Hi E, A Deity surely is a being. But you deny that the Son of God is a being who partook of flesh but say he is only a part of a greater trinity being. Which is correct?uhhhh… where did I deny that? The Son of God partook of flesh, He existed prior to His incarnation (literally “enfleshment”). I think you…[Read more]
