The 10 commandments encompass every aspect of Christian life. Any sin that one can commit can be traced back to the ten commandments.

I agree with you that there is need for discernment when anyone speaks. However, I do not understand on what you base discernment when God "speaks" to you. How do you know it is right, wrong, to little, to far? We have God's Word, and it is sufficient for addressing everything that ever needs...

First, homosexuality is a sin. If you do not agree, then this "conversation" is over. Second, I believe gay marriage does infringe on my rights since I cannot run a Christian adoption agency and still be called Christian. Infringing on rights does not necessarily mean I HAVE to marry someone...

^^ Right, the Lordship view, from what I understand, states that the believer WILL show fruit if the salvation is truly by God's grace, since we do not believe in a half-competent God but a life changing God right?

I believe that God is the one who chooses who is saved and who is not. That being the case, God also is powerful enough to keep those whom he saves, and that being the case, all who are truly saved will accept Him as Lord. So basically, I believe in Lordship salvation since God makes it so.

This is silly. I refuse to live in fear of something that either only applied to a select group of individuals (Pharisees) or only applies sovereignly to those who reject the Word by the time their temporal life ends. I'm completely satisfied with my own Greek study on the matter, and all the...

The problem with prophecy is the possibility that any feeling or thought is 1. of the sinful mind 2. of Satan or 3. of simply feeling or emotion. It may be of God, but you can never prove it, whereas anything from Scripture is 100% positively from God. I wish you well in your endeavors to know...

God is sovereign, but you still have a mind and a will. You need to simply stop. Of course this is more easily said than done. If you cannot just simply will yourself to stop and to read Scripture and pray more, you need to get in touch with your Christian community and become accountable to...

@ the 2 posters above. It is true that capitalism is recent, but it is also, at least it seems to me, the easiest to control without doing much. Communism is great with small groups, but it breaks down when you involve millions if not billions of people.

Off topic. This is not a debate about soteriology, especially since those involved with the original topic agreed to the doctrine. If you wish to discuss it elsewhere, that is fine. But just for the sake of it: As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." What shall we say then? Is...

Remember I said Christ as King, which cannot happen until he comes back to claim the throne and overthrow the rest of the world. In other words, the kind of government in heaven. In this world, it is better for a nation's economy, at least from what I can see. Communism has not really...

Indeed if its up to us...well...we're screwed. RobertZ, I've always thought of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit as turning away from God in a way that cannot be taken back. However, those who have committed such a sin are showing fruit of it. Those who love wickedness, who hate God actively and...

Alright. And once you come to the understanding that salvation is not of you but of God, then you can do what he commands, which is to accept him as Lord. Once you do that, then Christ has forgiven you sins and you are free to follow his commands without any burden of doubt!

Ok, let's back up then. God is sovereign. We know that. He is ultimately responsible for all things, all salvation, all damnation, all blessing and all calamity. So, sovereignly, he chooses you or he does not. However, we are stuck in this world and live in time. We do not know what God...

Many of the things that people argue on are not insignificant. A problem occurs when a leader wants to teach on a subject in church that most of the congregation believes is wrong. That may be fine sometimes, but the shepherd is supposed to teach his flock correctly, but it is difficult when...

This is too far off topic. We can discuss soteriology privately, or wait until the forum reopens.

I would like to hear your thoughts about what I've been thinking about. The best form of government is a theocracy, which can only be run by Christ as King. Since that cannot happen and no nation is Christian, then we resort to other governmental/economic models to keep us alive until he...

To make a flash game you need adobe flash. Right now from the adobe site it costs about $700. ^^

Calvinism always seems irrational to begin with since it is so contrary to what we as humans tend to think towards.
