    John Calvin.

    I do believe the 5 points of tulip, with minor modifications, such as I believe "definite atonement" or "particular redemption" would be better terms than "limited atonement". That is why I would be considered a "Particular Baptist" as to my understanding of Scripture. As John wrote: "And...

    John Calvin.

    So, you have the qualifications to demonstrate that the English translation of Luther is in error? :rolleyes:

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    I challenged the erroneous teaching that the Bible condemns any and all forms of gay love with sexual intimacy. What is mentally unhealthy, is to subject one's loved one to the guilt and mental anguish brought about by faulty psychology as well as distorted biblical interpretation. No one has...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Can you not read plain English? I wrote absolutely NOTHING about gender dysphoria. I addressed the matter of the OP, homosexuality.

    John Calvin.

    The so-called Five Points of Calvinism did not come directly from John Calvin, but from the Synod of Dort, 1619. The Five Points of Calvinism was a biblical response to the heretical Five Points presented by the Arminians: "The Synod of Dort was held in order to settle a serious controversy in...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    From the Christian Post - https://www.christianpost.com/news/america-facing-mental-health-disaster-christian-counselor-says.html This article is about the American Association of Christian Counselors(AACC), and for a Christian family dealing with homosexuality in their midst, I'd strongly...

    A Third Jewish Temple is Required

    The belief in a 3rd Temple is not found in any Christian Confession, Creed or Catechism prior to the 20th century, BECAUSE IT IS NOT TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE. This teaching is a Judaizing heresy! The belief in a Third Temple holds great significance in Jewish eschatology (beliefs about the end...

    Most accurate modern translation?

    "He spoke to them and said, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.” Here He is expanding on the authority that He has constantly revealed throughout His life so that this is a powerful and strong statement. It is declaring that He has been openly proclaimed as King of Kings...

    Did Christ Mean Memory of a Person's pre-resurrection Marital Status is Gone?

    Lk 20:34 "Jesus said to them, 'Those who belong to this age marry and are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy of a place in that age and in the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage. 36 Indeed, they cannot die anymore, because they are like...

    Most accurate modern translation?

    I agree with this, if we correct the strong influence of feminists. I like the NRSVue because it is more theologically neutral, but very accurate. I like the translation of the OT because it strives to translate as the Jews in that day would have understood it, rather than read back into the...

    How I am dodging Hollywood's trash

    I may be too old and cranky to enjoy the Faith and Family Movie type videos or films. They always come across to me sort of syrupy like the old "Shirley Temple" movies. LOL

    How I am dodging Hollywood's trash

    This is what I found online about that series: The Ip Man series refers to a collection of Hong Kong martial arts films and a TV series that are loosely based on the life of Ip Man, a renowned Wing Chun grandmaster. Film Series The main Ip Man film series consists of the following movies: Ip...

    What is the Relationship of Faith to Justification?

    The old Particular Baptists are sometimes called antinomian, those who take assurance of salvation and peace so far as to be lawless. How was their battle with sin viewed in relationship with their justification? Their 1644 First London Confession illustrates that they did not reject God's...

    How I am dodging Hollywood's trash

    As a retiree, I watch a lot of TV. I was sickened by the blasphemous ways God's name is used in most Hollywood TV and movies. The shacking up, one night stands or bf/gf cohabiting being portrayed as normal, was sick enough... but using God's name with such vile gutter trash words angered me...

    What is the Relationship of Faith to Justification?

    Randy, you are reasoning, but I don't see the scriptures upon which you base your conclusions? I suppose this is a difference in our approach to interpretation. "Now these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye might learn not to...

    What is the Relationship of Faith to Justification?

    A. Faith is the new law, neonomianism - "So you see, faith or belief is counted the same as obedience. It is obedience. On the other hand, unbelief is counted the same as disobedience." B. Faith is the means or instrument to apply justification to the believer - "Faith is the sole means or...

    Bible Study

    Carl, you wrote, "Grounded in an Anglican Church", rather writing Episcopal. Are we to understand you to be associated with the more conservative Anglicans, who hold to "The 39 Articles of Religions" in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer? I do not know how the Anglican Communion in Australia...

    Bible Study

    Carl, if you were to lead a Bible study, readers should know your theological views up front. Do you associate your theology, your understanding of scripture, with that of any known denomination so we know your perspective? How about a Confession of Faith such as the Westminster Confession, or...

    Are there differences between the 1644/1646 and 1689 Baptist Confessions?

    YES, there are major and important differences between the First and Second London Confessions of Baptists. For instance, the following important points - There is NO mention of the Ten Commandments, Old Covenant or the Sabbath in the 1644/1646 Confession. Also, importantly, In the 1644/1646...

    Homosexuality: Wrong or Right?

    Neither did God say: "Thou shall not be homosexual"
