    I am in no way saying that the ONLY purpose of sex within the bounderies of marriage is procreation. What I said was that the PRIMARY purpose of sex is procreation. Here are my exact quotes:"Sex is for procreation. Pleasure is a side-benefit. It's the natural consequence. Try having sex without...

    Sorry...meant that Y was replaced with J...and now that I think about it...it may have been in translation either to Latin or German. I'll have to go check. Thanks for the reminder. :thumbsup:

    Biblical Glossolalia

    Jack Hayford, President of the Foursquare denomination, has written a great book concerning the gift of tongues called "The Beauty of Spiritual Language". I would highly recommend it to any one looking for a balanced and well-written response to the question of tongues in the...

    Do You know Jehovah-mekoddishkem?

    A majority of these name are actually from the Hebrew (with changes in the spelling when translated to the Greek i.e. Yahweh to Jehovah). The wonderful thing about these names is that God used these different titles to reveal a specific part of His Divine nature to the listener; showing Himself...

    Does the bible ever mention "free will"?

    You just keep hammering Romans 8:20 without regards to harmonizing it with the context of Scripture don't you? In regards to why all man is subject to the sin of Adam, what about the verses in Romans chapter 5 stating: 12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death...

    Does the bible ever mention "free will"?

    And yet here we are again...you are not answering the question that the author of the article I reference asks. How can Universalists use the same word that they are referring to as "temporary age" (aionios) in the passages referring to punishment without realizing that the very same word...

    Does the bible ever mention "free will"?

    But then again...if I'm not really "born again" - according to your view it doesn't really matter because we all get in. Right? Whew...what a relief

    Living together before marriage

    My point in the rest of the post was referring to how Jesus was part of the Jewish culture. He observed the customs and laws of that culture. He gave the marriage ceremony/wedding feast much credibility by the fact that He not only performed his first miracle there, but that much of his teaching...

    Does the bible ever mention "free will"?

    Don't let them get under your goat. Get it? Goat...sheep? ^_^ Seriously...these guys are completely misinterpreting the words "aion" and "aionios". I wrote in another post about an article from Matthew Slick at CARM concerning the ways that universalists use these words for "eternal" in regards...

    Universalism vs. maintream Christianity (middle ground?)

    But you didn't respond to the question in the article. The same word is used for "eternal life" in the verses referring to what Jesus has won for us and for "eternal fire" or "eternal punishment". How can the same word be used to mean completely different things within the context of the...

    Unfortunately life is full of "what ifs". What if I don't get this job. What if she doesn't say yes when I ask her the big questions. Etc...ad nauseum. That is life. We don't know the answers to all of the potentials facing us. As for the parents of the teen girl, I do understand that many...

    Universalism vs. maintream Christianity (middle ground?)

    A Great Article from Matthew Slick at CARM: http://www.carm.org/uni/aionion.htm A look at the word "aionion" "Universalism is the teaching that God will ultimately bring all people, in all times, and all places to a state of reconciliation with Him...
