    There is a God, and you have one

    You have a God 1) You did not make yourself, therefore, you have a God (Creator) 2) You have purpose, you did not get to randomly pick meaning and purpose, it is common to all men, therefore, you have a God (Purpose in the universe). 3) You do not love without first being loved, therefore God...

    Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins

    I questioned the P.S.' condemnation of virtually all Christians and it was the wrong thread as well. So here is your thread, Zenn. Rather than trying to condemn all men to hell (not YOUR job, nor your place), explain what you believe instead of the inane posturing and lame prognostication and...

    ECT Why do the heretics and charlatans always attack us anew on Christmas & Easter Etc?

    Why do the heretics and charlatans always attack us anew on Christmas & Easter Etc? What is the point of that??? To make us convert on our celebrated days? To try to Shanghai our celebrations and make them less meaningful? Because it is the most miserable day of the year for those who...

    Separation gone too far - the making of a secular state

    We really cannot have it both ways. A secular state is an atheist state. Many will boo and hiss but there is no such thing as trouncing religious rights without 'trouncing religious rights.' A good number of folks don't like this guy, Matt Walsh, but he says something here echoed by many...

    ECT Galatians 5:16 OBEY!!! Grace vs. Works

    Galatians 5:16 actually says 'walk,' not obey. I expect this thread to go a long distance because questions will be asked for about every response. For instance: do "I" obey? Or does God work obedience in me? Is it about freewill in that sense? Even a good many freewill theists...

    Ἰησοῦς Matthew 15:11 Matthew 12:34,35 My name is Lon. My children call me "Dad." Is that disrespect? :nono: My wife calls me about every nice name BUT "Lon" most of the time. Is that blasphemous? :nono: My mom calls me "Lon," is she more sincere or respectful to me? :nono: My...

    Miracle: Christians in Africa saved from Muslims by Lions

    It is a remarkable story of God's intervening hand to save his people. Pastor Paul Ciniraj, director of Bibles for Mideast, says that he and other Christians were rescued from the clutches of death by a group of three lions, according to WND. Ciniraj and his group were under attack from Islamic...

    ECT Are we born sinless? Pelagianism and semi-pelagianism

    I'll have to start a thread. Pelagianism: man is born innocent and in no need of a Savior from birth. Under their theology, if we eliminated all children, there is no need for the cross by their doctrinal belief. They believe only those who eventually sin, need Christ. They may agree...

    ECT Baptism: No longer for today? Why did it ever exist then?

    I was seeing interest in this topic and wanted to be faithful to bringing it up in a thread where I can steer the conversation a little: I know why those who do not believe it is for gentile believers, exists, but many as yet do not. Because this is ECT, it should filter out some of the...

    ECT How alone is Grace alone salvation?

    c Because Musterion is talking about Salvation as an isolated understanding of what saves us, I wholly agree with him. By contrast, AMR gave me a neat little quip from Martin Luther: "We are saved by faith alone, but a faith that saves is not alone." Martin Luther believed in Grace alone...

    A tally of about 100 anti-Calvinist threads

    I just happened to be looking and am a bit surprised how many there are. Maybe they are all 'just different enough' that they don't need to be trimmed :think: 1) Predestination removes Christ - Robert Pate 2) Predestination removes Christ - Robert Pate 3) Predestination makes God a...

    The Historical Jesus Never Existed

    To keep from derailing another thread. No serious scholar or academic questions the historicity of the person of Jesus Christ. The video is wrong, there are about 10 other sources that mention the Lord Jesus Christ. Even the Quran speaks of His actual existence. Zeke, you are paying...
