We don't need to understand it. We just need to believe Genesis 50:20 is the Word of God.

So when John the Baptist said Jesus would baptize with the Holy Spirit, was this the Kingdom Gospel?

It's absolutely totally fine to question the following scenario. 1500 years go by, and all history indicates that from the time of the Apostles, the Church which Jesus founded was a bunch of Quaker meetings and Evangelical Bible studies. Then all of a sudden a movement appears and the leaders...

"His kingdom presence is with us now." Yes.

I think I remember seeing that Luke and Acts are the two longest books in the New Testament, in terms of word count? I might be wrong, but they are both rather long. But yeah, doesn't it seem like, if taken as a two-volume set, that you have the Gospel which ends with the crucifixion and...

I think I read in Eusebius where some people thought Luke WAS Paul's Gospel. The theory comports with Paul saying that Christ rose from the dead "according to" his Gospel—that is recorded in Luke, after all.

Does 1st Corinthians 6 say to stop being a faggot or not Clete.

What ones?

In some sense, you're right, and that's the decretive will. But the decretive will can surely decree that He's going to exercise His preceptive will, which is His right to Speak to us. And obv, from places like Genesis 50:20, He can also decree to exercise His permissive will. It doesn't mean...

Preceptive being, "Let's go Home," but the decretive will permits the permissive will, and so you go to the produce section instead, violating His precept, but He decrees His permissive will (looks the other way) while you go to the produce section. It's interesting though when you think about...

That's either what hooked me on Clavin, or it at least was a big part of what hooked me. Was God in any sense ... failing? I couldn't countenance that, and I didn't, and when I found Clavinism, I found that it also did not countenance that God was failing. So I instantly converted, mentally...

I think that's a false dichotomy. You below are going to point out some positive examples and I'm going to add two—negative ones. And that's also true, agreed. And, I like that analogy, it's vivid and accessible. Helps people like me with zero imagination. "Double predestination", right...

I said "something about your faith", I didn't "question" your faith. Is English your first language?

Have you seen the movie The Game, yes or no. If not I'll stop harassing you.

Why can't God just decree in advance based on foreknowledge when He's going to exercise His permissive will? I mean look ahead, see that the Holocaust is going to occur, A.D. 1940, decree (slash choose) then, that He will exercise His permissive will then. I mean, look ahead, to when our Lord...

Goes without saying. Sounds more like it has something to do with Heaven anyway. This Baptism, right? $$ Lu 3:16 John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize...

Oh. You received the tradition of using bread to celebrate the Lord's Supper, yes? You didn't make that up yourself, right? Jesus took bread, and then said, "This [bread] is [now] My body [meaning, it is no longer bread]." Those are the words of consecration.

Posting more content from Grace Ambassadors recently even if you won't say it's canonical Mid Acts, is helpful because it is helping us to get deeper into our theology discourse. The keys of the kingdom of Heaven, and the power to bind and loose. Both the sacraments of Baptism and Confession...

I love Jesus no matter what Lon. He and His Apostles founded His Church. That is the Roman Catholic Church simpliciter. (That's the Church in the Bible.) So this is again yet another logical fallacy for you, this time, false dichotomy (based on a straw man, begging the question). I was...

No one said that. That's a partisan narrative mischaracterizing what was actually said and what is actually taught. The party in question calls the Pope Bergolio. Bergolio said get faggotry out of the seminaries. That's not a thing. It might have been an abuse, in the distant past, but...
