Easter Malarkey
Every Easter the usual suspects post their unfounded attacks on our traditional understanding of Easter, which is Christ was crucified on Friday and was laid in the tomb before Saturday began at around sundown of Friday. Christ spent part of Friday, all of Saturday and arose just at daylight on Sunday, which using inclusive counting is three days, and is consistent with the Hebrew idiom of "3 days and 3 nights." -
Luke 22:42-44 an Easter Forum
Luke 22:
42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground
Was this prayer answered with a definitive YES My Son, was the cup removed?
Yes it was! The cup in question based on the context was answered. The cup was not the cross as... -
Jesus Christ Shed His Blood for Those in Hell
Jesus Christ Shed His Blood for Those in Hell
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction” 2 Peter 2:1
There are some who are very much mistaken in their “theology”, that Jesus Christ only Died for those who are ultimately saved, and will be in heaven.
This verse in 2 Peter, is very clear, that even those... -
How are the lost "drawn" to Christ?
In the Old Testament, God says he draws by "hesed" translated as lovingkindness or steadfast love. Our human response to seeing or becoming aware that God has demonstrated His love for us is to be attracted to God. Jeremiah 31:3. Clearly attraction rather than compulsion is in view in this Old Testament verse.
In the New Testament, we are drawn (attracted) by seeing or becoming aware that God demonstrated His love for us by dying for us when we were yet sinners. Romans 5:8. We love Him... -
Genuine Salvation is Forever
Q. If a man turns away from his faith will God force him to be in heaven even though he does not believe in God anymore?
A. If he CAN turn away, he will, because he has never been born again, never been saved, and never knew Christ and He never knew them who do so. He is a hog that was washed (outwardly) but still has a hog’s heart, a hog’s nature, and will revert to his wallowing in the mud of sin. They remain hogs and never were transformed into sheep.
Christ’s sheep are known of Him,... -
Is creating rhythm with phrases witchcraft?
I read in a book by Barbra Baig, called "SpellBinding Sentences", that authors can create music by writing in phrases, such as verb phrases, noun phrases, prepositional phrases, etc. I thought this was witchcraft because of the title and because I was hearing voices saying it was, so I deleted it. What's your opinion? Should authors make rhythm through meter or phrasing? I find the latter somewhat easier. Is phrasing for rhythm witchcraft?
I am a little tired so I put little effort into... -
It is not theory. So what and how should . . . be called?
Question. Why is "penal substitution" not a truthful discription of "the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all" in Isaiah 53:6? -
Justification by Faith !
Gal 3:24
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified*by*faith.
Now what is it to be Justified by Faith? It's one or two things #1 Its to be Justified by His Faith/Faithfulness, meaning Jesus Christ, its the Faith of Jesus Christ. #2 It's when that Justification by Christ is declared or pronounced in the conscience of the already Justified.
It's never meaning that faith is a condition we must act in order to get Justified before God, cause... -
Do all things work together for good?
The exhaustive determinists think everything that happens is predestined by God, and we should accept it as God's will. This is a destructive heresy because we are to strive to follow Christ, and when we fail, to confess our misses, and redouble our effort to improve our walk with Christ. Our choices to trespass are not predestined. God is not the author of sin.
Romans 8:28 NASB
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called... -
Supralapasarian "Hyper-Calvinism" Defended
Since @Silverhair accused me of cherry-picking, I am sharing this article which is a much more thorough defense of the absolute total sovereignty of God as revealed in God's Word, the Bible.
"First, I would like to present a totally Biblical argument for the supralapsarian position. Second, I will desperately try to not use any extra-biblical logic since this has aroused so many infralapsarians.
...
The first and foremost part of my proposition is that God is intrinsically holy. This...
