    It has often been said that this is a parable while yet others contend and say it is not a parable. So with that in mind lets look at a few examples on how this is clearly a parable. 1) It starts out by saying "There was a certain..." we have a few examples of this same phrase and with this...

    Is eternal torment in hell fire Biblical

    Is eternal torment in hell fire Biblical

    But you see this is what everybody wants justice and we want it our way. We want to decide for God who should get punished and who should not and how.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism?

    How is your statement any different then the fact Christ look down the corridors of time and saw who would chose and who wouldn't. So with that in mind God had already knew who he would condemn and who he wouldn't because he saw and knew. If this is the case then we could say that God is a...

    Why so much confusion about salvation?

    I would have to disagree with you on that a little bit only due to the fact that the churches are and were the primarily outlet to hear the gospel and so in that aspect people are saved by their domination. As far as you pastor saying that only those are saved in the reformed churches, he will...

    Why so much confusion about salvation?

    Are not belief, trust, reliance and faith all a work ? And yet are we not all, everybody liken unto a dead corpse. Example of Lazarus being in the tomb for 4 days and also that if the dried bones in Ezk.

    Calvinism vs. Arminianism?

    So those that abhor to the reformed idea, I believe in reality you do not abhor but in essence are saying the same thing.
