Re: Adam and Eve

The more I think the more I wonder. If Adam and eve were the only humans. How did the first murder actually commit a sin? I mean were they really the only ones? Genesis 4:16-17 brings up a few more questions: - Who lived in the Land of Nod? - Where did Cain's wife come from? - Who did Cain build a ...

Choosing to accept him without good evidence for his existence and with good evidence for his nonexistence would be intellectual harakiri to me.
This is very interesting to me. Exactly what good evidence is there for the nonexistence of God?

Re: Gender, Bender, Blender and Schools

Jordan Peterson has been fighting against this same kind of issue in Canada. There was a bill proposed in Canada, if passed, would force people to use pronouns of the person’s choice. Forcing speech is unconstitutional.

Re: Dr. Michael Heiser Teaching TEMPORARY Eternal Life???!!!

There are so many parables that Jesus teaches about Christians falling away, but people seem to ignore those, and most of the refer to present tense verbs, so continually in the moment. Not getting saved and then continuing in your way of living a life of habitual sin and expecting to go to heaven....

Re: The US NEVER Went To The Moon

Stu: "... I have kinda lost interest in the whole flat earth thing of late." Stu, are you starting to consider you could have been wrong or perhaps misled by the Flatties? No, pretty sure the Bible got it right. Time will reveal the truth. Good dodge, Stu. :lol: I’m anxiously awaiting you...

Re: Christians, Q’Anon and Conspiracy Theories

DB: But I thought your allusion to "wolves in sheep's clothing" was just too excellent of a transition to the incredible damage that QAnon is doing as it infiltrates the Conservative movement in general and Evangelicals in particular. Both of whom I care about deeply. So, as Q'Anon is lik...

Re: Dr. Michael Heiser Teaching TEMPORARY Eternal Life???!!!

I’m not addressing any of that until you explain John 3:16 in light of your belief that someone can lose eternal life. 16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Again, whoever believes(trusts) in Christ, ...

Re: Christians, Q’Anon and Conspiracy Theories

There may be "wolves in sheep's clothing" in this forum But, Philip most definitely does not match Jesus' definition of 'wolves in sheep's clothing" at all It was a joke. I don’t think Philip is a false prophet. DBowling wrote: However, QAnon and Co match Jesus' description to a t- w...

Philip,

I’ve yet to hear anyone who doesn’t believe in eternal security, explain John 3:16.

Re: Dr. Michael Heiser Teaching TEMPORARY Eternal Life???!!!

I'm sorry Rick, but the bible does not state you can accept Jesus then live like an apostate heathen and still make heaven. God also told me there are some that think they are Christians but aren't going to make it either, as Matthew 7:21 states. God judges us not how we start our lives, but how we...
