    What is Wrong with Mine Theology?

    "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified."...

    Colossians 4:2-4 ESV “Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.

    If We Continue in the Faith

    I’m reading in Colossians 1 this morning. Paul addressed these thoughts to the saints and faithful brothers (fellow Christians) in Christ. So, he was not addressing these thoughts to the unfaithful nor to the Christians “in name only but not in truth”. And he was praying for them that they would...

    Bible verses you believe clearly support universal salvation

    Post whatever Bible verses you believe clearly support universal salvation / redemption - salvation / redemption after death. Verses you believe clearly counter universalism are also welcome.

    Redemption, taught through the environment

    Quite interesting from a theological & an environmental perspective, how a priest can buy a block of unwanted land, turn it into something beautiful, and let that be a model of how God can do the same with an unwanted person & bring out something beautiful. There's a LOT of stories about...

    Transferred to the Kingdom of God

    From the Domain of Darkness Colossians 1:13-14 ESV “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” The modern gospel being taught today does not teach this. It teaches that Jesus died...

    If You Continue in the Faith

    He has Delivered Us Colossians 1:13-14 ESV “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.” The reason that Jesus Christ gave his life for us on that cross was to rescue (deliver) us out...

    Our Redeemer Has Come

    Their Feet Run to Evil Isaiah 59:1-8 ESV “Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, or his ear dull, that it cannot hear; but your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear...

    What is redemption? How is redemptive suffering not an unjust whipping boy?

    St. John Paul II teaches that through our suffering we can share in Jesus' redemptive suffering and thereby help others achieve salvation. J. Sollier defines redemption as either 1) paying a ransom price for sin or 2) atonement for an offense. Together this raises two questions: How is...

    There should be a word for, "God drinks our sin up like water."

    There ought to be a single word that references the fact that God drinks up our sin like water. I'm referring to the forbearance and grace of God, who apparently, though he requires obedience and holiness, is not surprised by the sin that so easily besets us, including the horror of outright...

    Christ Eternal High Priest

    The high priest serves as a mediator between God & the people.

    Law - Grace - Curse - Redemption - Righteousness

    Jn 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (MY NOTE: Grace = our undeserved/unworked for favor/blessing from God. Is accessed through our faith placed in Christ's sin atoning death & resurrection) Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye...

    The Redemption of Our Body

    Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. If you met someone who is a picture of healthy living by diet and exercise, you would not by outward appearance think “now this a child of God”. If you met someone who is...
