I don't think that quoting Scripture about homosexuality being deprave is prejudice or bigotry. There is nothing wrong with saying that homosexuality is wrong: that doesn't mean that we (fundamentalists) hate gay people, but if we show Scriptures that clearly state homosexuality is immoral...

The reason that I believe that homosexuality is a sin is that the Bible explicitly states that it is. Being gay is listed as an "abominable" sin in Leviticus as well as two passages in the New Testament. I have heard some try to work their way around the passage in Leviticus, and I believe it...

Good observations Cajun! I've been noticing that as we embrace a Biblical worldview, our culture probably considers us about as appealing as a fire breathing dragon. If you want to see a very "interesting" discussion on Christians and gay marriage, be sure to check out the liberal christians...

Thanks to everyone for their insights, I appreciate you all sharing your knowledge! Please just pray that if I do get into another discussion with him about theology concerning the call, that I will say what God wills me to. And also, I really appreciated discussion of the "general call", I...

Behe's Boy, McWilliams, and BBAS 64, thanks so much for the replies! I loved them all, and all 3 are very helpful! I have found a transcript of the "Bondage of the Will" by Luther, and I appreciated you all breaking down the conversion process and 2nd Peter for me, they both brought further...

hey everyone! I had a question concerning the doctrine of Irresistable Grace. My good friend and I got into a lengthy discussion about different doctrines last night. I am striving for a Reformed view of scripture, while my friend is in a Pentacostal denomination. We had a discussion...

Glory to Jesus Beautiful Lord and Savior And the Prince of Peace

'I don’t care how strong your religion is, or how strong your church life is, I don’t care how strong your morality is. On that day of judgment God will tear it down and it will wilt. Whenever humans declare themselves to be righteous they are doing it by contrasting themselves with other humans...

Hello reformers!! I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on books that concern the formation of the Bible. I mean how it was formed, who put it together, who wrote the books within, and what parts of the Church were assigned to determine what was and wasn't cannon. I would appreciate...

thanks very much for all of the suggestions everyone!

its ok! :thumbsup: I just wanted to be sure I was clear in what I was saying as well.

I really loved the last part of your post Deacon. Thats exactly what I was trying to say in my last post, that we are saved by faith in the work of Jesus Christ, but true faith shows through in works. Salvation is by grace alone, the grace of God through the atoning sacrifice of Christ.

I know we are saved by faith, and by God's grace alone. But from my understand of the book of James, faith without works is dead. From what I know, a true believer displays the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5) as evidence of a saving faith. The fruits are simply an evidence of a living...

As taught in "Justification and Regeneration" by Chalrles Leiter, if the floor were to fall out from under a true Christian, they certainly wouldn't say "MY FAITH!" They would cry out to the Lord Jesus. Our hopes must rest on Jesus' work that God has imputed to us, not on our works. I'm with...

Let's see here... Preachers- Paul Washer, John Piper Apologists- Ravi Zacharias.

I'm sorry this may be a bit off topic, but what is the general meaning of being a conservative? Could someone PM me about this please? I think I am conservative, I am anti-abortion, one man/one woman marriage exclusive, the usual "Fundamentalist Christian" I guess. And I'm sorry if we irk you...

I've heard some great things about the ESV Study Bible; one of its foremost proponents was none other than John Piper. And I think I may wait a while for a study Bible now, I've been back and forth on it, but I think the the ESV SB, Reformation SB are def. among the frontrunners for a possible...

I've decided to more closely examine any study Bible I'd possibly look into, I'm a bit afraid that any Bible could have twisted or wrong notes on certain Scriptures. Thanks for the recommendations again everyone, I've looked into the Macarthur and Reformation Study Bible, so I guess we'll...
