Mormons think they are little gods.

I know you from a different Forum... which you have not been back to for a long time. We don't have to agree on theological issues... we just have to be nice to each other, as Jesus would want.

@studier Re Bayesian Hermeneutics....of which I've read two paragraphs ONLY: A question: Do you believe we can have new revelation? My belief is that we should look back to the early church and accept what the Apostles taught and those whom they taught. (whenever there is some conflict in...

Here is Bayes Theorem.... at least the very TIP of the ice-berg: Bayes' theorem From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule), named after Thomas Bayes (/beɪz/), gives a mathematical rule for inverting conditional probabilities...

No sir. Scripture is not DULL. YOUR POSTS are dull. And I'm happy to know I have a reputation. God will be pleased with the reputation I have. All I've said is that we must obey Him. Sounds like a good reputation to me.

Welcome Roger I'm feeling a little lonely here. Seems that some believe the church has come to believe something that it has never believed in through the span of 2 thousand years. I'm wondering why. Is it realational? God offers a gift to me. I accept it. Does what I do with that gift have...

If a mod is reading along.... I'd like to say that this system makes posting SO MUCH EASIER !! AND The whole site looks cleaner and more modern. And I noticed the new emoji's too ! GREAT IMPROVEMENT!!

Well, actually, free will DOES mean that we get to tell God what to do.... WITH US. God will not FORCE US to stay with Him IF we do NOT WANT TO. We are free to come to God... We are free to abandon God... Irresistible Grace means we are NOT FREE to resist the grace of God. The NT teaches that...

Just fell on this ..... Yes. I doubt we are able to have the character traits of Jesus. Maybe if one is mormon he might believe this. So what IS a good work? Maybe if it's difficult you're doing more than Jesus might be requesting of you? Amen to that! Some on these forums don't even think...

I'm not too good with math so I'll leave that discussion to you and @studier .... both much more scholarly than I can even dream of. As to analogies....the only reason I posted the video was due to a discussion on how woefully inadequate analogies are. There's a member on here that insists on...

You should know what it means. Have you not studied some church history so as to be able to discern what are Christian teachings and what are not?

Yes ma'am. We can be sure it's a faulty doctrine. It's A NEW doctrine from about 200 years ago. It was NEVER taught in the church untill then. It's a misunderstanding of the Perseverance of the Saints which is a reformed/calvinist belief. Seems that some professing the Christian faith though...

What is a prig? Are you a prig? Does your type of Christianity teach this to you? To give odd descriptions to your fellow humankind? The above might be true except for all those IF's that Paul states and are all over the NT. And who can be more self-righteous than to think one can be saved...

you've posted very interesting verses,,,but I fear I'd need a serious contender to disuss this and YOU are not that person. However,,,I will run through it quickly. You quoted: 1. All the Father give me will come to me. How does this square with: John 14:6 6Jesus said to him, “I am the...

PennEd,,,I've known you quite a few years and I can safely say that you are a nice person and I respect you for that. You are truly transfomred by your belief in God and are following Jesus as best you can. No ad hominums and only your understanding of scripture. This is good in a discussion...
