Re: Rastafarian movement

When interviewed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Bill McNeil in 1967, Haile Selassie denied that a man could be an emanation from God. In Ethiopia, very few consider him to be Jesus. About 2/3 are Orthodox Christians and 1/3 are Muslims (religion is generally determined by area, Christian...

Re: Some general questions about Calvinism.

Prophecy does not force something to happen, but rather says it will happen. While God does not make choices for us, he does know what choices we will make. God is not closing himself off from the Antichrist by making this prophecy. God will offer salvation to the Antichrist, even though he knows t...

Re: Some general questions about Calvinism.

One problem with "open-ended" anything in theology is what it does to prophecy in general. Here is a question that I love to ask to non-Reformed futurists: Can the AntiChrist be saved, or is he predestined to Hell? Does no one want to tackle this? jlay and Danny M., I'm really interested ...

Re: Was Jesus a racist?

This is the passage in question: Mark 7:24-30 24 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre.[a] He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret. 25 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an ...

Job 3:11-19 & Infant Salvation

"Why did I not die at birth, come out from the womb and expire? Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse? For then I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept; then I would have been at rest, with kings and counselors of the earth who rebuilt ruins for...

Re: What's Wrong With Calvinism?

Then, what is the difference between a believer and non-believer? You are answering the very question you are asking. It is like asking what is the difference one who uses credit cards and one who doesn't. Obvioulsy belief is the difference. It certainly isn't sin. For ALL have sinned. No. What I'm...

Re: What's Wrong With Calvinism?

I think what it is saying is that if you call on the name of the Lord, but then reject him later, you are not saved, but if you do not initially call on the name of the Lord, but then chose to do so later and chose to follow the will of the Lord, you are saved. Also, the Bible definitely says that ...

Re: What's Wrong With Calvinism?

What do you mean nothing happened? keep in mind here what you are saying, which is, the bible can't be true. Because the bible does in fact say, that those who call on Him will be saved. So the question must be, just how are you defining salvation here? Please be specific. Would you say someone who...

Re: What happens if a post-op transexual becomes a Christian

If a non Christian person goes under gender reassignment surgery and then later on converts to become a Christian, should that person continue living as their new gender? What should they do? You are assuming that there are transsexuals. Basically they can be transsexual if they have surgery or tak...

Refuting:Does the Bible say the moon produces its own light?

One criticism of the account of Genesis from someone was that the Bible said that the moon produced its own light in Genesis. Could someone please help me with this? Thanks.
