    Re-introduction

    Hi - just re-introducing myself after a long hiatus. Wanted to ask why the Christian Apologetics forum is now closed? Is there an alternative forum for such debates? Jan

    Is the Gospel undefinable?

    We are enjoined to believe in Christ (John 6:26) and the essence of that belief is the Gospel. But is the Gospel clearly defined? Paul speaks clearly in 1 Corinthians 15:1-11: 1 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you...

    Did Jesus assert that some OT laws weren't God's ideal

    I originally posted this elsewhere but thought it might get more responses if I made it the subject of it's own thread: I wonder how many agree with Charles Ellicott's commentary on Matthew 19:8 where Jesus says: He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to...

    Regarding adultery

    Would appreciate a definition of adultery if anyone would like to have a go. That this is important is highlighted by that it was a stonable offence: Leviticus 20:10 “‘If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbour—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to...

    Was 'Christ died for our sins' preached to the unsaved?

    1 Corinthians 15:3 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; Paul's language here is clear: that which Paul received (Galatians 1:12 - 'by revelation from Jesus Christ') he delivered to them 'first of...

    The third chapter of John

    I would like to discuss any and all of implications of this chapter of John's Gospel, but I will begin by focusing on what was meant by 'the name of God’s one and only Son'? v.18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they...

    John Owen's Arminian dilemma

    In 'The Death Of Death In The Death Of Christ' (Book 1, Chapter 2), John Owen argued thus: If God imposed his wrath due unto, and Christ underwent the pains of hell for all of the sins of all men, why then, are not all freed from the punishment of all their sins? You will say, "Because of their...

    Did Paul preach Romans 10:9 to unbelievers?

    If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. I ask because there seems to be some ambivalence amongst Calvinists. Either way, please explain your reasoning. If you would prefer, post your answer...

    Does Romans 10 disprove particular atonement?

    Romans 10:8b-9 & 14-15 (KJV - my emphasis in black bold) The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead...

    The order of fossils in the geological column

    Does the order of the fossils found, from lowest to highest, equate to what Darwinists (or Neo-Darwinists if preferred) would expect to find. Can they therefore say that the order of fossils that we would expect to find from the Noachian flood is inconsistent with the reality?

    Paul considered that Christ's resurrection was of universal salvific benefit

    Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Paul speaks of the raising of Christ from the dead as an established objective fact (irrespective of subjectivism), and, of which, one may...

    Proof that Isaiah 6:9,10 does not underpin Calvinism's divine reprobation

    Matthew 13:10-16 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an...

    What is Jesus doing in John 14:10-11 and 10:37-38?

    John 14:10-11 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least...

    What version of God's mercy are we to manifest in our lives?

    Version 1 Romans 9:15-16 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion. So then it is not of him who willeth, nor is it of him who runneth, but of God who showeth mercy. For the Calvinist, these verses demonstrate divine...

    A message for Jack Sparrow

    Jack, I am humbly asking you to please stop the course of action you have taken over the last year or so here on Christian Forums. Would not Christ ask the same of you? I do pray that you will. I am hoping that others that post on here will agree. janx

    Is sin the reason for one's damnation or not?

    In 'What love is this,' Dave Hunt asserts that: "As a result of Christ's death having paid the full penalty, no one will spend eternity in the lake of fire because of his sins; they will be there for rejecting Christ and the salvation He obtained and freely offers to all." (Chapter 16, Limited...
