    Understanding God’s election

    I DID ask for clarification. I asked you to clarify why you view God's justice as contradicting His love? And in terms of what you just said, why do you imply that God is unloving to enforce just consequences for rejecting His law?

    I was wondering who believes you can get unsaved.

    Regarding "I just explained how inaccurately the phrase " accepting Jesus as Lord" describes salvation and why." Not inaccurately, but incompletely, and the words "ask... seek... and knock" are even more succinct, but you still did not explain how the points I provided are problematic...

    Understanding the Incarnation

    Well, "full" isn't there, but it is pretty close, so I accept it, although I was trying to be punny.

    The Kerygma - God's Requirement for Salvation

    Although perfection is not achieved in this life, the necessity of learning the didache in order to strive for perfection indicates the need for perseverance or to keep on learning and growing spiritually until we die physically. Thus, although learning any specific part of the didache is not...

    Understanding God’s election

    If God predestines most people to damnation without a chance to conform, then Paul was lying when he said that God loves everone and wants everyone to be saved. (1TM 2:3-4)

    Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

    The issue of apostasy has been debated ever since Augustine of Hippo developed his doctrine of predestination about A.D. 400. Romans 8:38-39 seems to say that it is impossible for a Christian to fail to persevere. Paul writes: “For I am convinced that neither death nor life… nor anything else...

    Another look at John 10.

    If you have more Scripture for me to read and consider, then please post it, but otherwise I guess that is about all I have say about this subject. Happy trails!

    I was wondering who believes you can get unsaved.

    Okay, may I take your words to mean that you see no errors in mine? If not then please be more specific about what you find objectionable.

    I think Cameron missed this question.

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    Yes, the bottom line is that even those people who never knew the OT or NT are responsible for the Light revealed via creation of the Lord's existence, power and loving nature. Yes, unbelievers use this topic against believers who are poor witnesses if they disobey the command of Peter to be...

    Various Moral Issues

    I welcome you introducing discussion of those topics, but I am surprised that you did not find what I said about abortion to be a new approach. I will repeat it below for you to reconsider: If a person studies fetal development, at some point he/she will probably contemplate two pictures: one...

    Another look at John 10.

    It does not surprise me that some Christians insist the Scriptures I posted above do not teach the possibility of apostasy, because I was taught such and did not learn that truth until I read the Bible with an open mind in my late teens and early twenties.

    I was wondering who believes you can get unsaved.

    Please explain any errors you see in the list of points elaborating on "Accept Christ Jesus as Lord". BTW, not sure I agree with every item in your list of sentences.

    Understanding the Incarnation

    Please cite the scripture that says Jesus was birthed full of the Holy Spirit. (BTW, you missed my pun :^)

    Understanding God’s election

    Viewing God as schizophrenic is NOT reconciling love and justness, but I also don't buy that God casts people into hell.

    Understanding God’s election

    What part of reconciling divine love and justice do you find difficult? Why do you view God's justice as contradicting His love?

    The Gospels and the Mystery

    How those people could still be saved apart from joining with the Jews include: 1. general revelation, which includes meditating on the natural world or God’s supernatural work. Paul says men are without excuse, both because God’s eternal power and divine nature (love) are manifested by...
