    God never said He loves the sinner but hates the sin

    ^ Precisely. God hates sin. That's why he hated Esau. Esau despised what God gave him, much like reprobates do today. His love is commended in the fact that Christ died. I would say that God hates the sin and not the sinner. Even the reprobate has salvation available to him, {proof of God's...

    The Biblical Literalist "Straight Answer" thread

    The flood happened. The Hebrew people walked across the Red Sea on dry land. People have been cured of cancer and arthritis n my church. I'm saved from sin and death. These micracles happened. How? because God did them, and no human science, no matter how much some would like it to, can...

    Judged

    Yes, It seems that Orhtodoxy has the right idea. God is judged every day. Every day, people determine whether God has been fair or just in his actions and words. Some people judge God as a cruel dictator not worthy of worship, and others recognize the folly of that reasoning. These scriptures...

    Majority, Minority, Byzantine, Alexandrian

    Hello All, For the first time, I've been introduced to an issue that many of you probably know a lot about. I was wondering if you could share you thoughts about the accuracy, legitimacy, and use of the four scripture text types mentioned above. I realized that I have only scratched the...

    Why do the OT and NT contradict so much?

    Fire and brimstone messages don't work. That has been proven by the Israelites' constant disobedience in the OT. Those messages may get people thinking (which is why the info should be disseminated), but they don't make you love God or have a relationship with him. If anything LOVE for God...

    The Key to Salvation

    As part of my effort to study the word of God more often, I'm starting this thread on the Key to salvation, Love. To begin I'll look at St John 13:34-35 (I use KJV primarily): 34A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another...

    Why do the OT and NT contradict so much?

    To respond to your argument used by many folks involving being born in a Christian country. Many of the first Christians were not born in a so-called Christian Country.There are Christians in China, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, South Korea, Africa, and "the uttermost parts of the Earth" who were...

    Trinitarian question

    Basically, you pointed out all of the things that made me write the disclaimer at the bottom. However, the point is that the molecule h20 remains the same denominator between the three states just as the fact that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit have the same denominator of being God. The fact...

    Trinitarian question

    I thought I'd chime in a little late: 1) The Lord, thy God is one Lord. (Look it up) 2) H20 your H20 is one molecule. 3) God has three forms or three persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) in which he operates and he can be them all simultaneously because he can. 4) H20 has three forms (Ice...

    How should I go about studying the Bible

    Generally, when I study, I break a chapter up into sections and study each section. For each section, I find crossreferences for the issues inthat particular section, define key words or words that I don't know, and write an application for my life if possible. After I've finished a chapter...

    All science isn't against athe bible, nor is all modern science good science in my opinion. (There are a lot more presuppositions in science than I thought until I really statred reading up on things.) Also to the other poster. Science can't support acts of God, but it can support normal...

    the world is what it is today. I'm wondering if anyone has a link or a reference to a site or book that gives the most comprehensive scriptural AND scientific ideas of how the earth and all its intricacies came to be. Specifically, I'm looking for young-earth ideas that do not compromise...

    why do you believe?

    There were certain personal sins that I committed on a daily basis that I wanted to stop doing long before I accepted Christ. I had been in church since I was 11 and heard the word of God. In some sense, I wanted the freedom from sin that other people had, but I still liked the pleasure of sin...

    Burden of Proof

    The burden of proof is on everyone. the problem is that the standard of truth is different between a Christian and an atheist. An atheist requires scientific proof based on observations that can only be made using the five senses. Christians have a 'sixth sense' so to speak. It's called the...

    How Long (For Those Who Weren't Raised Christian)

    Your first sentence is VERY important. When we first get saved, there is no doubt that we feel something (God's spirit) as well as the relief of being forgiven and freed from sin. However, as time goes on and we mature, the feeling is not always present 24/7. Thus we always have to remind...

    Time and evolution

    Just because a model fits the facts and allows for further development, it doesn't mean that the the model is true. Many people, including myself seek truth, and scientifically defined fact, especially when based on assumptions that I don't agree with, are not sufficient for me.
