Divine Mercy Chaplet for Protestants?
Someone closed the thread as I was writing this post, so I started a new thread.
(Why this place shuts down threads while they're still active, I'll never understand!)
I can understand some what the Protestant aversion to the Rosary, but I think a viable alternative is in the Divine Mercy Chaplet. There’s one Hail Mary in the Chaplet, the rest is addressing God The Father.
Considering the power and promises attached to this prayer, Protestantism should not be missing out on it.
As if one... -
Encrypted or Unencrypted
One of the difficulties bible students studying from English translations is that sometimes the same source language word is translated into several English words. This is sometimes needed because the source word carries or apparently carries more than one contexual meaning.
But a very different difficulty is encountered when the same source word carrying the same contextual meaning, is translated into multiply English words. This seems to accomplish encryption in my opinion.
And still... -
Four reasonable questions concerning KJVO
Hi, longtime lurker, fist time poster here. Title says four questions, but it was seven by the end of my writing and I don't know how to change the title. Sorry.
I’m posting this out of genuine curiosity. I have not arrived at a destination. I am simply trying to figure out where I stand on things. I want to give some background. I grew up a Christmas and Easter Baptist. Went on to a Christian college during the 2010 hipster pastor movement. Fell into Big Eva non-denominational mega church... -

. . . God the Son . . . .
It is not in dispute that, God the Father, the Son of God is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. And They are NOT three gods but They are the One and Same God. Yet nowhere in the written word of God is the Son of God, who the Father calls God, Hebrews 1:8, to be called "God the Son." Why the need to do so? -
The Two "Natures" of Christ Jesus
In a recent thread, discussion was initiated on the "Hypostatic Union." The thread drifted into a philosophical discussion, and away from specifics concerning Christ's natures.
I posted the following:
Once again we address this fundamental doctrine. Jesus is the union of two substances, Logos, God the Son, and human, the son of Mary, a descendant of Abraham and David. He is not a mixture. He has no "human spirit" only the "uniquely divine" Spirit of God the Son. And of course God the Son... -
Hypostatic Union
Hypostasis is the Greek word for "substance"
The Hypostatic Union is the doctrine dealing with the nature of Jesus.
Here is the actual statement:
Therefore, following the holy fathers, we all with one accord teach men to acknowledge one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, at once complete in Godhead and complete in manhood, truly God and truly man, consisting also of a reasonable soul and body; of one substance with the Father as regards his Godhead, and at the same time of one... -
Using Study Tools
2 Timothy 2:15-18 (NASB)
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have gone astray from the truth,
Here we see we are to be "diligent" to accurately handle the "word of truth." Do we need to hold a man-made degree in Greek to study and share... -
What the sin nature is not.
We are not guilty for Adam's sin.
Deuteronomy 24:16, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
Ezekiel 18:20, The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. -
Two contradictory teachings.
Two contradictory teachings cannot both be true.
Both can be false. But only one can be true.
