9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. 43 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'44 "But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for...
I do not hold tightly to either "side" on this issue of Zionism, because everything of this world has flaws, to be sure, and Israel is not perfect any more than any other nation on this planet....but let's take a moment to reflect on the other side of the Zionism story: Getting the World to...
I read this today....WOW! ...:eek: http://www.mtio.com/articles/aissar81.htm Some of those Charles Finney quotes absolutely floored me! He was an outright heretic, no doubt about it!:eek::(
My comments will be in Green Letters. The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod: Of the Election of Grace (St. Louis: Concordia Publishing House, N.D.) 35. By the election of grace we mean this truth, that all those who by the grace of God alone, for Christ’s sake, through the means of...
Hi! So I was curious what is the truth about spiritual warfare?? I've been taught so many different things over my life. Some religions put a lot of emphasis on this like people being possessed my demons. Others dont put any thought into this. yet we have Scriptures that talk about resisting the...
Introduction (Author: Anonymous) Only two people have an interest in the debate over baptism: no, not the paedobaptist and the baptist, but two other people, the dogmatist and the doubter. The dogmatist may be either a paedobaptist or a baptist, for each point of view has its own...
Reformed believers have invariably distinguished between the external call of the gospel (which is addressed to both reprobate and elect) and the efficacious, internal call of the gospel (which comes to the elect only). If it is given that reprobation is unconditional (that is, not on the...
Hi everybody, I just read this today and thought I'd share it with you. Most of you probably have already read this it is from A.W. Pink's book "The Sovereinty of God". He comments on Eph. 1:3-5 Here also we discover the motive which prompted Him. It was "in love the that He predestinated us...
From an e-mail sent to me by Wimer... The rest of the e-mail can be read in the attached document... There is a battle brewing over these doctrines and lines in the sand have been drawn by Wimer and Simpson. Shall we as a group pick apart Simpson's arguments against JFE for the sake of...
I posted this on another forum but am interested on what you have to say about this subject. I was wondering if anyone would be able to shed some light on this verse in regards to the topic "God loves the reprobate?" Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing...
After a long absence I'm back! :) Get your knives sharpened ready! (Ok, just kidding! :D) I have a strong passion for a recovery of a right use of the gospel in the sanctification of believers. For many modern-day Christians the gospel seems to be only the milk, something you believe initially...
Hey. So I was reading something in another thread and a question came to my mind. When does the Holy Spirit come to live within the brethren? Are we born with the Spirit or is it at the time of confession? Also, whats the difference between Holy Spirit and Christ in us, and us in Christ? And...
St John 6:66 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. I hope this will spark some thought and discussion. In my studies I came across this verse. I find its linkage to this context : jn 6: 60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard...
Jonah 1: 1Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
Pertaining to a current discussion in another thread, I found this 17 year old article outlining one of history's greatest doctrines of devils held in common by five prominent teachers: Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Arminius, and Wesley. http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/a133.htm I praise...
In the 'rejection of errors' from the Canons of Dort: SECOND HEAD: PARAGRAPH 1. Who teach: That God the Father has ordained His Son to the death of the cross without a certain and definite decree to save any, so that the necessity, profitableness, and worth of what christ merited by His death...
I posted this on another site and I'm interested in what the people on this site have to say on the subject. Some of you may have seen this already. Lets say person "B" was in the bank and the bank told him he owed 10 million dollars, person "B" has no way to pay this ever. Person "A" also in...
So I've heard many people talk about false prophets and sheep in wolves clothing. What I was wondering is how do we know if someone is a false prophet? I think this is a label that is put on people way too much. Any ideas? I'll write more later.. gotta go rest... Mary

Augustine, Charles Hodge, and other theologians taught a form of creationism that really amounts to infusionism. This position is a denial of the wholistic view of man and asserts that God creates each soul as entirely spiritual ('pure spirit') apart from the body, then infuses the same soul into a...
rev 2: 26And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: What does Jesus mean here with this statement ?
I am just now ‘coming out’ of the system of Covenant Theology so I am trying to do a study of the Covenants, undeniably a huge subject. Are the covenants difficult then to understand, are there no simple thoughts to convey the Covenant dealings of God with His people? More than likely, a lifelong...
heb 2: 9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Many today use this verse of scripture to teach that Jesus christ died for every single person in...
Hi Guys, Here is what some call a contradiction in the high priestly prayer of Christ in Jn 17.. In vs 9 it reads: 9I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. Jesus says he prays not for the world..
13And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is,...
