Thanks Gideon. That's very nice of you. Having known me PERSONALLY for many years,,, I suppose you have the right to believe what you will. However, I don't see a reply to Colossians 1. Why not? And, instead of trying to make you THINK... I could have replied to your post to me like this...

I read through this thread while having breakfast. I will no longer be replying to those that preach that we cannot lose our salvation... and then go on to speak about me without tagging me in...which is tantamount to gossip, and we know what James taught about the tongue. Also, making silly...

@studier Here it is. Post no. 7903 Here's what I believe: A doctor tells you that you'll never get cancer. Another doctor tells you that it's possible to get cancer.... but you won't if you eat one tomatoe every day. Would you eat that one tomatoe every day or just trust the doctor that...

OK. So it's due to continuous study and being willing to change according to what we learn. Not the fact that some new revelation has come to light and so Christianity requires some change. I'm very firm on the belief that new teachings cannot be dogmatically Christian in nature. If they were...

You sure are assuming a lot. Is this how ALL Christians come to know God? And why don't we have a "picture" of what the puzzle looks like? Isn't Jesus that picture? Do you feel that some Christians DO NOT ACT as Jesus would want them to? So maybe the picture is missing for some but not for...

The question then becomes: What causes this perfect love that did not exist in the OC? It is simply the difference between the OC and the NC. God's demand for obedience is still present,,,as it was in all Covenants. Man is still imperfect....so? Does man following the NC have perfect love...

I know you're not. They have some strange beliefs.

There's a lot to know and I'm not well-versed in the religion of Latter Day Saints - Mormonism. Here's a short video that does a pretty good job of it.

Oh. You're still here? I thought your alarm went off and that you'd, hopefully, disappear.

Yes. Using the brain does cause alarms to go off.

What can I say? Dumb questions abound on these Forums. Got any more?? Why do you want to know? Maybe you'd like to get to JUST BEFORE THE DIVIDING LINE with sinning... and not go over it??? Ask God this question. HE has more patience than we mere mortals. And You're posting to someone that...

Mormons think they are little gods.

I know you from a different Forum... which you have not been back to for a long time. We don't have to agree on theological issues... we just have to be nice to each other, as Jesus would want.

@studier Re Bayesian Hermeneutics....of which I've read two paragraphs ONLY: A question: Do you believe we can have new revelation? My belief is that we should look back to the early church and accept what the Apostles taught and those whom they taught. (whenever there is some conflict in...

Here is Bayes Theorem.... at least the very TIP of the ice-berg: Bayes' theorem From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Bayes' theorem (alternatively Bayes' law or Bayes' rule), named after Thomas Bayes (/beɪz/), gives a mathematical rule for inverting conditional probabilities...

No sir. Scripture is not DULL. YOUR POSTS are dull. And I'm happy to know I have a reputation. God will be pleased with the reputation I have. All I've said is that we must obey Him. Sounds like a good reputation to me.

Welcome Roger I'm feeling a little lonely here. Seems that some believe the church has come to believe something that it has never believed in through the span of 2 thousand years. I'm wondering why. Is it realational? God offers a gift to me. I accept it. Does what I do with that gift have...

If a mod is reading along.... I'd like to say that this system makes posting SO MUCH EASIER !! AND The whole site looks cleaner and more modern. And I noticed the new emoji's too ! GREAT IMPROVEMENT!!

Well, actually, free will DOES mean that we get to tell God what to do.... WITH US. God will not FORCE US to stay with Him IF we do NOT WANT TO. We are free to come to God... We are free to abandon God... Irresistible Grace means we are NOT FREE to resist the grace of God. The NT teaches that...

Just fell on this ..... Yes. I doubt we are able to have the character traits of Jesus. Maybe if one is mormon he might believe this. So what IS a good work? Maybe if it's difficult you're doing more than Jesus might be requesting of you? Amen to that! Some on these forums don't even think...
