I got those statements from Dr. Craig who I have a lot of respect for. You can view it here: https://www.reasonablefaith.org/question-answer/P20/faith-and-works Dr. Craig is not a Calvinist but rather a Molinist.

That is a good article and thanks for sharing. So from what I can gather the differences are rather nuanced and fundamentally we are all in agreement that faith in Christ is all that is needed for salvation. Quote from article: "James isn’t saying that you need to do good works in order to be...

I think one of the main stated differences between Protestants and Catholics is the notion of faith and works. From a Catholic perspective, are you in disagreement with the statement below: "But in Christianity, good deeds are the necessary concomitant or outflow of sincere faith, not...

I listened to that interview as well. Awesome interview! I recently saw the movie "Sounds of Freedom". So impactful that people going to see it have purchased 2.5 million free tickets for others to watch. They want to get the word out and you can get free tickets here if you would like...

Hello everyone. Wasn't sure where to post this but I recently saw the movie "Sounds of Freedom". Very good show. So impactful that people going to see it have purchased 2.5 million free tickets for others to watch. They want to get the word out and you can get free tickets here if you would...

When you state that it isn't Orthodoxy do you mean that Calvinism has been the traditional view. What view has the earliest attestation? It doesn't seem like any view does. I read a greek orthodox claiming that arminianism was much closer to their view than calvinism. Omnipotent means to...

On a personal note, I hope people realize that this is a peripheral issue, it is not fundamental to the faith, and that there are many things that are mysterious that we will never know. We should focus on living our lives according to what Christ commanded us. The gospel isn’t supposed to be...

Thanks for the response. You do know your stuff. Why I am responding. I have read and have heard reports of people leaving Christianity because of Calvinism. This is sad to hear. I myself am trying to see if they were misinterpreting it etc. With free will it would have to be an uncaused...

Free will simply means that there is an entity, me, that is free from external influences and can make decisions based on the person's own internal makeup. Dictionary it states, "the ability to act at one's own discretion." I am not too sure what you mean by the second answer. From my...

Do you guys believe in Free Will? Do you believe that we have free will but it is just that we all are so corrupt that we don't choose right? Because of this then it is up to God to have mercy on those he has mercy? Also do you believe God causes/moves people to sin? What would you make of...

Hello everyone! I have been going to a PCA church and I have found its theology to be solid. I am thinking about becoming a member. However, I spend my time in more than one place and I also have christian connections in other churches. So is it acceptable to become a member in more than...

Well, I guess you said what I have been thinking as well. That we are being trolled...

It is regarded as a historical fact that Jesus was crucified on the cross by historians regardless of their religious affiliation. Sense Islam denies this basic fact it cannot be true... Something about me. I grew up in a very secular and academic home. Have two agnostic brothers. Probably...

This subforum is for "Christians only". We need to know where you stand to respond adequately. Sense you reject Christ, the only one able to save us from our sins, you are no longer a Christian and need to update your profile and post this in the proper subforum. People here could tell you had...

You need to be more diligent about searching this stuff out yourself. Sahih Al-Bukhari is considered completely authentic by consensus. Sahih al-Bukhari 5825 "Rifa`a divorced his wife whereupon `AbdurRahman bin Az-Zubair Al-Qurazi married her. `Aisha said that the lady (came), wearing a green...

It was Aisha herself that said "I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women. Look! Her skin is greener than her clothes!" Basically her husband beat her till her skin was green and the prophet said it was fine. I would watch this. The comment section is good as...

Believe me I have studied a lot about Islam so I know its scripture very well. My point is is that you are applying one Muslim person you have meet and are saying that is Islam. This is extremely anecdotal and doesn't mean much from a good reference point. He is a westernized Muslim. If you...

That was exactly what the movie with Sally Fields was about. His true colors only came out when he knew it was his time. I am not saying this is him but it is always a possibility.

If being Muslim and being around them is so great you need to ask yourself why nobody in their right minds want to live in a Muslim dominated society. Even many Muslims want to get out of those hell holes. But there is a couple ways I can go about this to show you that Islam is false. For one...

Thanks y'all. how would I know if the church I am visiting is PCA or PCUSA. I assume I would have to ask someone at the local church. It also seems each presbyterian church is locally governed by elders.
