Gene,
What you are saying can be disputed. Not saying that I am taking a stance on either side, as I stated in previous posts. In my previous posts, I mentioned how both sides can prove their case. Hence, there is NO WAY, in our present state, that we can ever fully know, without a doubt, the absolute truth regarding this subject.

Here is a…[Read more]

terraricca,
The fact that I used that scripture should show what I believe. It’s unfortunate that you didn’t catch that. Makes me wonder what other things you might not catch, in general.

So it seems you are you pressing me on what theory of free will I side on? Why? The truth is that no matter WHAT someone believes about it, it shouldn’t change…[Read more]

Nothing I wrote stated that I question God’s Sovereignty.

I wrote what I wrote to say that whether or not we believe that there is free will or there’s no free will, that arguing over this subject doesn’t change whether we have salvation through Christ or not.

Unless some of you people are somehow thinking that scripture tells us to base our…[Read more]

This is an interesting subject, in general, but at the end of the day, all anyone can take away from it is someone else’s opinion. There are valid points on both sides of the aisle.

To all,

12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

This is a rather key scripture, for it actually is quite revealing as to what name should be used. Because Jesus is now the Mediator between God and man, God is telling us in this verse that His n…[Read more]

Admin,

I would like to acknowledge a typo that I didn’t catch. In the first paragraph of the thread I started, I accidentally put Matt 29:19, when I meant Matt 28:19.
But I guess such things will happen from time to time when one chooses to post in the wee hours of the morning and when one’s dyslexia is well at hand. 😉

Admin,
I appreciate that, thank you. Since I’m new, I am trying to catch up with as many things as I can to get familiarized with everything here 🙂

Thanks again

A major, MAJOR stumbling block, indeed! The message of the Gospel…the message of Christ is beautiful in it’s simplicity. It’s rather straight forward and to the point. In a no-holds-barred sort of way, we were given the information that we needed to obtain salvation. We are to live righteous, holy lives free from sin as Christ did, and to…[Read more]
