Re: More Trinity stuff

Jac3510 quoted: Must a person believe in the Trinity to be saved? This is a easy question. The Old Testament prophets are silent on this issue, along with the Apostles and Jesus Himself. There is no mention of the Trinity in association with salvation. John 17:3 "This is eternal life, that they...

Re: Saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Let's see just what is involved in living the live of a believer: 1. "For by Grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship [ Gk: achievement ], created in Christ Jesus unto [ unto what? ] ...

Re: Hebraic Perspective

Thanks for the input Bart. I was only planning on discussing a very small portion of their book. I just wanted to hit a few of the high lights and show the importance of their work. I will switch to using their concepts and not quote from the book. The ideas and concepts of the following information...

Re: Hebraic Perspective

Part 2 The Hebraic undertext is revealed not only in sentence structure but in many literalisms and idioms present, which are particular to the Hebrew language. And an ability to recognize these Hebraisms has caused much difficulty in the interpretation and understanding of many of the sayings of J...

Re: Craig's Creation, Providence, and Miracle

Kurieuo, I forgot to Thank you for the link to Craig's work. I have been reading it and trying to process it in more detail this morning. There is a lot of good stuff here. I'm pretty sure I don't agree with everything but nonetheless, he has some truth. Let me share a favourite verse of mine. Isa ...

Re: Craig's Creation, Providence, and Miracle

Hello Kurieuo, Ok that makes more sense. You are definitely more into philosophy and logic than myself. Formula logic is not an area in which I have much exposure. Like most disciplines, it has its own unique terminology, or I might say formulary understanding. While reading Creation, Providence, a...

Re: Saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Whoa Kurieuo, Thanks for the link, You are way deeper in philosophy than myself! I understood the definitions but failed to grasp the theology. I could not see the forest because of the trees. What's the theology here? I read the following: Properly speaking . . . it is only true to say that a crea...

Re: Saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

Hi Kurieuo, Thank you for the welcome. Yes, I understand your thoughts on these verses. The problem is many of the verses exclude us from the choosing process. For example, NASB John 6:44 " No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws (DRAGS) him ; and I will raise him up on the l...

Re: The worship of Jesus

Sorry, my bad! The author is Greg Deuble. It's from a book of his, I need to find the book to get the title. I have his name under a file with many of his writings that I have translated to word documents from that very book. I have a speech program and just read sections of the book and create a wo...

Re: Saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.

We are saved by the grace of God, and God alone. NASB Eph 1:11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, CEV Eph 1:11 God always does what he plans, and that's why he appointed Christ to choose us . NAS...

Re: The worship of Jesus

Ok, this is something I have found on this subject of worship. Please note, I did not write it so can not offer anything but an opinion! Worship If we may let our Lord and King have the final word. Jesus plainly states, "the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for suc...
