    Calvinism vs. Arminianism - What is the Point?

    only a guess but I would think that one side thinks that the other side is not holding to the truth which in turn could lead to a false wittness. Something that requires correction. Billy <><

    Thoughts on the NT and it's writers

    I agree I agree and I also understand the danger involved but if a doctrine is truly the truth then anyone seeking the truth should ultimately be lead back anyway. I guess I would say if one is up for it (solid in their faith) then proceed with caution. Yea it's tuff wading through this sort...

    Thoughts on the NT and it's writers

    see no danger in accepting this if one chooses. departing othodoxy (whoever determines that) and not being christian (is too me anyway) clearly two different things. thanks for the info Billy <><

    Thoughts on the NT and it's writers

    I think that maybe questions along these lines would have probably been asked during the cannonization of the OT. I guess at some point someone had to make a decision and from what little I know about the process I believe that it wasn't taken lightly. I too have to ask myself "what would it...

    Thoughts on the NT and it's writers

    in all truth Jesus taught the same message as the Old Testament prophets - which was 'repent', he taught them same message as john the baptist, which was 'repent' and jesus himself taught, 'repent'. The apostles taught, call on the name of YHVH, which is 'repent and be immersed'. Hope it's...

    Isaiah 31

    I agree with Tim I think you may be missapplying this scripture. But on the other hand it seems to me that you've done what you can and that is to sow good seed. Billy <><

    Arminianism and Calvinism. Why only two options?

    So if God&#8217;s grace frees up man long enough for man to decide one way or the other. Aren&#8217;t we still left wondering if God has any influence in that decision? Billy <><

    Is the claim that all 66 books of our Bible are the inerrant Word of God correct?

    For some “yes” and for some “no” and as you have pointed out the answers aren’t that easy to come by. Seems to me to be a paradox because if the answer is an absolute “yes” we have some problems, such as those that you have pointed out. And if the answer is an absolute “no” we have some problems...

    question?

    Quote "Many scientists "believe" the earth is billions of years old. So any age less than that could be called young. For More importantly, do you have any scientific questions about creation and creationism that you need to answer? Or do you have any theological questions that you aren't...

    question?

    I don’t post on this board very often but I had a friend raise an issue that some of you may be willing to help me out with. Are there any (and I use the word cautiously) serious scientist that believe in a young earth? Thanks Billy <><

    How I lost my Faith; through study of Early Christian History...

    If in fact the crucifixion and resurrection were in the mthical realm only, I would think that something of such magnitude would lead Paul to clarify such more clearly. Even though it was possibly common in the day, I find it difficult to think that when Paul refers to Jesus, dying on the cross...

    How I lost my Faith; through study of Early Christian History...

    Not wishing to get into a discussion about the finer points of the word &#8216;hoax&#8217; but if copyist added and removed stories, taking into account that they had an agenda, then wouldn&#8217;t that be participating or perpetuating a hoax? I haven&#8217;t read Mr. Ehrman but I have read...

    How I lost my Faith; through study of Early Christian History...

    I agree, it's hard to believe that so many are following a 2000 year old hoax. Just doesn't make sense. Seems to me most skeptics can only produce some sort of doubt in which to draw conclusions. Billy <><
