Thanks, Dave T, Jr., for your response.
Your statement is "so today" and on one seeking to start and continue to do so even in the face of impairing one relationship (family, God, and employment).
What some many people …

Mitch, have we become a literalist? Must everything be spelled out even when the big and bold dots are seen and easy to connect? e.g. If someone were to describe your character, look, size, features, knowledge, skills, etc., and not ca…

THE TWENTY-FIVE ARTICLES OF AFFIRMATION each with accompanying Scripture proofs. They lay out the boundaries of the biblical teaching on the person and work of Christ; hopefully, lead to deeper biblical teaching on Christ.

Thanks, Mitch for sharing. I am open to truth, reason and the Word (Bible-- Ultimate authority). I don't debate the Word. I give witness to it. I declare its principle teachings via grammatical-historical interpretation-- the method of…

My Dear Brother, Dave,
I am sorry you missed my point above. I simply sort to convey for one to be aware of history, connections and that the Reformation is a work in progress. What I shared was not attacks, but facts.

Dave,
A hungry man in search of food must always look up, around, and behind him before taking what seems to be free and accessible. It might be a trap. Just a word of caution. Here is a little background to "The Second Helvetic c…

Again, I was not trying to say "(f)' was your choice. I was attempting to say the likely choice of today's Protestants may select "(f)". Even, if so, would they know whose drum beat they are marching to and why?
Nice topic. I h…

CORRECTIONS, Dave,
My # 4, in my last post: "However, it a concession of life. No thought, breathe, life, fear, or joy."
The word should be "cessation" not, "concession."
It should read: However, it [deat…

Dave, Dave, Dave,
In following this thread from its OP, until now, we have come a long to almost, nowhere. Let me say this:
You seem to be, in at least in a sub-conscience way, concern about your own mortality. …

A wise man once said, what one says, it doesn't mean he believes it. If he says it long enough, he may one day.
However, what one does; he believes, even if he doesn't know why.
On the other hand, what one thinks, is no…

I hope this is not true. This will cause one to be without a knowledge of God, faith, a guide to live by, without hope for the afterlife, death or the resurrection. How would one know the origin of life, the world, Jesus-the Christ, th…

Bill,
Nice passage (A sermon in letter format to a small group of Jewish Christian in a house church).This passage conveys God revealing himself in a more thorough way. Without such, humanity can never know Him. He contrasted metho…

David,
I am not a believer in fatalism (an attempt to explain away sin, or at the least to avoid personal responsibility for it). Sin cannot be metaphysically explained. One can never assign the reality of sin…

Mitchell,
I am having too many problems with your qualifiers in the questions above: "Only", "all", "anything", etc.
Today's Protestants are all over the map and nowhere. Too many groups (large and small) have become an…

First of all, God didn't create "Satan".
Secondly, God hasn't destroyed Satan yet, for the good of the entire universe. Freedom of choice. each has to choose whom he or she will serve to the wh…

No, No, No! God doesn't employ Satan to do anything. Christ and Satan are not co-workers or partners. He (God) brings good out of Satan's dealings on behalf of the believers. Please read Romans 8:28ff. God cons…

Wolfgang,
Please, is this supposed to be some kind of the gullibility test? Any reasonable student of the Word knows that Jn 10:34-35, is the quotation of Ps 82:6.

As a witness to the Bible, I share a thought from the writer of Hebrews. If a person who disregarded the Mosaic law, received the penalty of death, how much greater punishment will fall upon the person who has rejected Jesus, the Son of God? (Heb…

Dave,
As a dyed-in-the-wool, Protestant Reformer, are you in some way bound by doctrine dogma of the immaculate conception? If you are, may I remind you that the Bible does not support this doctrine? (Ps. 51:5; Rom. 3:23).

To avoid going in circles (Treadwheel conversations), please state or share an acceptable definition of "free will." Whatever it is, if you don't change your view, you will be saying, God lacks.If you are a Trinitarian (God …

Gentlemen,
I don't know everything, however, the aforementioned text (2 Pe 3:12) is not beyond our comprehension, in light of the Spirit and basic exegesis. For starters:

OOPS! ORIGINAL: Are you trying to say God is a slave to His own power? Is Love not freedom? God created mankind with a free will and He (God) does have it? No, I don't buy Calvin's five points.
