    R.C. Sproul discusses music and its impact on us. You don’t have to be a music major to realize how we are influenced by it in a negative or positive way. (11:13) “I’ve seen two interviews of young murderers on death row – two different interviews, two different guys – both of whom murdered...

    Down,down,down was growled out 36 times. You can at least be honest about it.

    You are lying. Look up the lyrics. Lyrics of Loner by Enoch They′re gonna beat you like a dog to the ground; Down down down But you will take it like a man as it comes, in My strength, you'll stand. Like the Master, so the heir; mocked - beat - killed. But just like Him, you will stand firm...

    Growling “Down, down, down” 36 times in a row like a wild animal and you think I was trying to make it sound stupid. How on God’s green earth could it not sound stupid? There is no difference in these college students growling like a pig and the growling sounds in “Loner.” It sounds more like a...

    Some Christians can’t tell the difference between growling sounds mixed in with dissonant chords along with mind numbing meaningless repetitions, and Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Alayman hit the nail on the head when he referred to it as “an exercise in cognitive dissonance.” Mackenzie...

    I don’t like answers that takes clear verses and assume they don’t mean what they say in order to fill in an acronym.

    You didn't like the answer. What are the main arguments against limited atonement? Repentance and faith were the required responses (see Matthew 21:32). If Christ’s death did not provide atonement for everyone, then the apostles, and even Jesus Himself, were offering something that most of...

    John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Luke 13:2 And he answered them, “Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way...

    When Jesus paid the price for sin, it satisfied the Father, not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the whole world (2 John 2:2). It is the Calvinists who are tied to the T.U.L.I.P. acronym and use it as equal authority with scripture who are the ones rejecting the clear statement in...

    Jesus didn’t overlook anything. He paid the price for every sinner who ever lived; it is the sinner who refuses that payment thereby facing eternal judgment. The conundrum for every Calvinist and non-Calvinist alike is the fact that although God has chosen the elect from the foundation of the...

    Much damage has been done to the cause of the gospel by telling the world that they will go to hell “because they don’t believe in Jesus.” It seems unreasonable that God would eternally damn them for not believing something. Ray Comfort explains it this way: If a man jumps out of a plane...

    When you ass/u/me something, you make an ass out of you and me. You started out with the assumptions. I gave you the counter assumptions. Maybe you should practice what you preach.

    Assumption #1: “The Master” isn’t Jesus. Assumption #2: “who bought them” doesn’t allude to the cross. The Bible clearly teaches that God holds every individual personally responsible for his own sins. It also puts the responsibility on the individual to come to God. We are commanded to repent...

    The Desiring God article comes to the conclusion: “So we have seen that there are three large ambiguities in 2 Peter 2:1. First, it is unclear whether the purchase of these false teachers is a reference to the death of Christ or not. Second, it is unclear whether the one who “bought” them is...

    No matter how someone tries to frame it, Peter didn’t mince words. Jesus' blood paid for the sins of even the non-elect. There is no need to argue over the point. To accept the clear words of Peter isn’t a threat to Calvinism. I might add that the issue is the fact that we can't reconcile the...
