    Judas' death

    And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Matt 27:5 (KJV) Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. Acts 1:18 (KJV) It may be that he...

    1 John 2:19—Proof of Eternal Security?

    Without Christ, a person isn't born again. 'Antichrist' sure doesn't sound like 'with Christ'.

    1 John 2:19—Proof of Eternal Security?

    Well, they were antichrists. So, no, they weren't born again.

    1 John 2:19—Proof of Eternal Security?

    "They" are antichrists (vs 18). Antichrists deny the Father and the Son (vs 22). They went out from "us". "Us" could be the apostles (chapter 1:1-5), not the apostles plus the readers. They went out from the apostles with antichrist doctrine to the born-again readers, claiming to represent...

    Was the Pharaoh of Exodus predestined for damnation?

    Since "let my people go" isn't the way of salvation, I think Pharaoh's (genuine) opportunity for personal, eternal salvation happened before the events recorded in Exodus. I believe he was given every opportunity to be saved; as is the case for everyone.

    Christians Are Not Sinners

    All born again Christians are saved sinners. O wretched man that I am Romans 7:24 (KJV) ... Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 1 Tim 1:15 (KJV) And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. 2 Sam 12:7 (KJV) Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the...

    The theif on the cross misconceptions

    He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:16 (KJV) It's also true that: He that believeth and brushes his teeth shall be saved. He that believeth and drives a Ford shall be saved. Baptism doesn't cause or contribute to eternal salvation...

    Notice that it doesn't say that God gave them up irrevocably to vile affections.

    Can homisexuals be saved?

    Yes, they can be saved. Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but...

    The theif on the cross misconceptions

    Eternal salvation is through faith alone, without water baptism, in all of redemptive history - past, present, & future alike. Water baptism is a work that contributes nothing to eternal salvation. If a person dies between the time he believes and the time he gets baptized, he goes straight to...

    Womens' hair

    I agree that it's not trivial. There's no mention of husband/wife relationship in this passage; it's always man/woman. The glory of 'the' man is 'the' woman, and the glory of 'a' woman is her long hair. Other passages (such as Eph. 5) deal with husband/wife relationships.

    How do you think God speaks to His children today?

    Through the Bible alone.

    Why do Christians tell you you shouldn't ask GOD for material things?

    I think it's fine to ask God for material things as long you request it with a 'not my will but Yours be done' understanding. Just make sure you're seeking God's kingdom & righteousness foremost (Matt. 6:33). Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with...

    Interesting insight to Joseph in Egypt Psalm 105:17

    Well, if he pleasured in righteousness; then that was a good thing. It's nice to have a job you like if you like it for the right reasons.

    Pre-Destination, God's Foreknowledge and Choice

    Pre-Destination, God's Foreknowledge and Choice

    The saved person still has an unaffected free will. The option of becoming unsaved is simply not submitted to it. He's predestined to conformity to the image of God's Son.
