So every scriptures warning believers about the possibility of falling away is needless and really DECEPTIVE since TRUE believers can never fall away. However an abundance of scriptures say that completing our journey and obtaining the inheritance of eternal life is contingent upon our meeting...

Jesus said 31Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or...

A. The scriptures do not support the idea of departed souls walking the earth after their death. Those who have died are judged and sent e to their respective rewards or punishments. 27 Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28so also Christ was offered once...

I live in Texas too. Last year, my wife and I moved to the East Texas Piney woods close to LA.

When I was a young teen my father got my family into the occult which included reading tarot cards, getting readings from psychics, and even inviting psychics into our home. Like you I began to be oppressed by demons whose presence I really believed I could feel. Later I started to attend a...

Are you acquainted with any Native American dialects? I have only heard such languages and their sound is very distinct.

Having researched the beliefs and practices of the Church I found no evidence of a single point of time in which the gifts ceased. There is evidence of the gifts in almost every age. If anything, the only view which is absolutely not supported is Cessationism.

I have heard much that I believe is nonsense. However, one friend of mine who was a missionary to India reported that he was leading a group of Indian young people in prayer when he went into some other language. The young people told him that he had been speaking in one of the many Indian...

31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32 And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the...

1. I personally do not believe it is possible for a Christian (in the true sense of the word, one in Christ) to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. When you speak of a Christian "in the TRUE sense of the word" it is difficult if not impossible to know exactly who you are talking about since ALL CONTRARY...

MY question was He COULD have "hung on the cross to this day" but, that would not have completed the plan of redemption. The Father's plan required the death of Jesus and that He died in that particular way - by crucufixion. He could have willed it not to happen but it had to be that way. He...

…7No, we speak of the mysterious and hidden wisdom of God, which He destined for our glory before time began. 8None of the rulers of this age understood it. For if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (1 Corinthians 2:7-8) So your...

Jesus said …17The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again. 18No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.” (John...

The one thing that leads me to speculate this way (rather than saying the Father tortured him to deatha) is the fact that the Bible itself says explicitly that the DEVIL was one who did it though the Father ALLOWED it. When Jesus agony was ended "received His spirit" the Father was there to...

Is sin a metaphysical essence or substance that can be "poured" into someone's PHYSICAL body. The Bible says "3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as Christ is pure. 4Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you...

Augustine had a theory that preserved the free will of the elect by saying that God foreknew which options they would freely choose and presented those to them. Of course, this did NOT preserve the omnilove of God toward the nonelect. Neither Augustine, nor Luther who was an Augustinian monk...

The various propositions of "Calvinism" are so tightly inter-related and inter-dependent as to be inseparable - which is not the same thing as their being TRUE. Were I living in the times of the Reformers I would utterly reject them for being the ungodly murderers they were and take up with...

The Reformers were not among the Apostles and Prophets who laid the foundation of the Church. Because of this, much of what they taught and did was not up to "building code" In fact, much of what Augustine taught was imported from the pagan religion of Manichaeism the Gnostic cult he had...

So rather than present your answer on the subject, you send me away with the assignment to read the entire Book of Acts focusing on each and every instance of the Present Tense? Then you insist that I prove what I said by citing every instance of the present tense from the LXX translation of...
