Since Eschatology deals with the doctrine of future things, we know that God in His eternal purpose, according to the council of His own will, whereby, for His own glory, has foreordained whatsoever comes to pass. So, either I'm right and you are wrong, or you are right and I am wrong, or we...

I attended a Lutheran Church a while back. Kind of like going to a Methodist Church. No training in Theology. Reading library devoid of any writings by Luther or any other significant reformed biblical writers (self help books by modern writers). A rather sad state of affairs...

Martin Luther's "the Bondage of the Will" Dr. John N. Gerstner's teaching on "Church History" This year in New Jerusalem......Happy New Year.:clap:

:wave: the Legacy of Sovereign Joy by John Piper:thumbsup:

:wave: I guess I consider it "the lesser of two weevils."

:wave: Read Romans for the condition of man. But since you reject the Bible as being authoritative, it becomes a futile endeavor. Since you reject God, the atonement and the Bible, it appears you have made your choice. Your condition is...

:wave: Let us ponder some writings of the early Church Fathers: Justin Martyr: But I and others, who are right-minded Christians on all points, are assured that there will be a resurrection of the dead, and a thousand years in Jerusalem, which will be built, adorned, and enlarged, the...

:wave: John 6:44 "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. In talking to the apostles: John 15:16 "You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should...

:wave: Well I guess this life is the closest that non-believers get to Heaven and the closest believers get to Hell.:cool:

:wave: I guess I'm astounded that persons (especially politicians) who profess to be Christian, but disregard what Scripture says and seek to redefine it so that they can rationalize their positions. Pharisaical Christians are a dime a dozen in the political arena. I cannot judge these...

:wave:Since Pentecost all true believers are said to be indwelt (1Corinthians 6:19)(1Samuel 16:14). In the OT believers were temporarily indwelt (for a time). The Holy Spirit was the helper promised by Christ to His believers. Without the indwelling we're pretty much dead in the water.:cool:

:wave: Actually I'm very happy with God being in charge of my "free will".:cool:

:wave: I like these two passages in 1 Thessalonians: 1 Thessalonians 1:10, 5:9 tells me that God will deliver us from the wrath to come. Has anyone noticed the God's hand moving in the middle east? Setting up the players for the end times.:thumbsup:

:wave: The crux of the matter is, especially when it comes to prophetic passages in Scripture, how do we interpret the things that are to come. What Hermeneutics (interpretation) do we use. I believe we must interpret the text literally or naturally, unless the context indicates otherwise...

:wave: Sorry, I guess I need to clarify. As to the OP the only unpardonable sin today is that of continued unbelief. There is no pardon for a person who dies in unbelief. John 3:16 tell us, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not...

:wave: I'm looking at the reaction of the Pharisees to the resurrection of Lazarus in John 11:45-48 where the word all is used. 45) Many therefore of the Jews, who had come to Mary and beheld what He had done, believed in Him. 46) But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and...

:wave: What is the one sin that will not be forgiven at the judgement seat of Christ? Not believing in Jesus Christ.:amen:
