    Shroud of Turin—real or fake, and why?

    Indeed. Though I don't think it should come as that much of a surprise if we take a moment to reflect upon our encounters with those who don't believe God's word teaches what is written. In my experience encountering skeptics that deny what is written in reams of research regarding the...

    Understanding God’s election

    I find it interesting that in John 15 Jesus tells his Disciples they did not choose him. Jesus chose them. I am fond of this site because it is linked to the only Topical Scripture Search Site that I have been able to find and that has other study resources available as well. I've linked...

    Understanding God’s election

    Moses is credited as the author of Genesis and the other four books of the Old Testament. First, I think we have to see that sacrifices in scripture were not just for atonement of sins. They were also performed as an act of thanksgiving, and communion with God. Remember God's reason for not...

    An example of, many are called but few are chosen. Hence, proof as Jesus said to be true. No one can come to Him unless the Father draws them. And those the Father gives Him He will in no wise cast out.

    Understanding God’s election

    We saw a sin offering by God when he covered two sinners with the skin of animals killed for that purpose. We read in the Old Testament almost all sacrifices up to the time of Moses save for one by Cain were blood sacrifices. These were not something people imagined as a thing to do all in...

    Genesis 3:21. God used animal skins to cover their nakedness for which they were ashamed and because of the fall. Those skins came from what we may presume as slaughtered animals. The dead animal,the sacrifice of those lives,metaphorically and literally covered the sin of Adam and Eve...

    Understanding God’s election

    I disagree. Your perspective cancels out both premises. If free will is a factor, predestination is not necessary. Besides this Jesus taught free will of the creature,the dead in sin person unable to understand the things of God, is not a factor in his Gospel whereon he says, no one can come to...

    Those are examples of his politics Not his Hermeneutics or Soteriology. I find Mr.Anderson to be an affront to the calling of pastoral office. Besides denying the Holocaust ,and laying blame for much of the worlds troubles at the feet of Jews he claims repentance is not part of our Salvation...

    Luke 24 (NET) 44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the scriptures, 46 and said...

    Shroud of Turin—real or fake, and why?

    The Bible exists as evidence in writing of Jesus' existence and teachings. Though today there are different versions relating the history and words of our one and only God. People believe the Bible. I think our Father knows we are people who sometimes need to see to believe. I'm thinking of...

    Shroud of Turin—real or fake, and why?

    We watched the Ray Downing documentary,The Real Face of Jesus, again on Christmas. Fascinating study and I highly recommend watching it. The research conducted on the shroud by the Downing team that were allowed to access and study a portion of the shroud found the Jesus image was saturated by...

    I think it helps alleviate any concern that you are not being heard or respected for your views if you recognize you are being targeted for personal attacks,which is against the rules here, and ad hominem attacks, by those who are fixated upon acting out those reprobate behaviors. The...

    Thomas Jefferson also said he ascribed to being a Materialist, an Epicurian, and a Unitarian. Thomas Jefferson also didn't believe in the miracles described in scripture. He claimed they were a myth. He also didn't believe in God as Christians understand God to be through scripture. Thomas...
