    I would disagree to the extent that the saved Christian has access to God's grace whereas the unsaved sinner does not. God Bless Jax

    So, Do You Think The Rapture May Be Near?

    I have never understood this fascination with the end times. Why are some people so concerned about it? Is there something you want to change in your life, or some particular sin you want to repent from just before Jesus returns? If there is , if you are serious about your faith, do it now...

    Oh no I bought a old earth apologetics book!

    By all means read it if you'd like to. One of the great problems in our faith and the world in general is that we surround ourselves only with those with whom we agree. God Bless Jax

    Isn't There Middle Ground Between Pre & Post?

    lem with pre-tribulational rapture is the concept of *literally* being physically lifted from the earth, instead of taking all of that metaphorically. The metaphor of this sort *is* literal, yet also metaphoric -- this can be confusing only if people make it confusing. We use these sorts of...

    What Was God’s Intention For The Atonement?

    It is clear that scripture teaches two great truths. That God is absolutely, completely and totally sovereign, and that man has a truly libertarian free will. I do not know how God reconciles this but I am confident that he can. Calvinism, Arminianism and Universalism are mans attempts to...

    Being on Social Security

    I sympathize with you. I am disabled also. Truthfully I feel good and think I could work but the doctors say otherwise. In case anyone is wondering I have had 2 maybe 3 heart attacks and as Red Foxx you to say the big one could come at anytime. So I spend a great deal of my free time serving...

    I need help Identifying the language(s) in this audio recording

    I'm sure Austraila has any number of universities with excellent language departments. Why not take it to one of them? God Bless Jax

    Consistency Between Atonement Theory and Biblical Narrative

    Penal substitution has a role in the Cross but I do not think it is complete story. Personally I think the "Christus Victor" view of the Eastern Orthodox Churches has a lot to recommend it. God Bless Jax

    Looking for a formal debate with a theist.

    If you lack a belief a God for absolutely no reason then you are possess the same kind of blind faith you mock Christians for. If you have reasons for your atheism, what ever they are, then present them and perhaps one of us will debate them with you. Why do you expect us to play defense? God...
