79 year old Presbyterians shouldn't dance.

Donald Trump is just the opposite of the neocons who have gotten America into endless wars most of my lifetime. He can be criticized for many things but being a warmonger is not one of them. He is trying his best to keep America out of wars and all you can do is criticize him. I was watching a...

On The sermon on the mount, Jesus showed us the spiritual nature of the Law. Here is a short summary by Ray Comfort. Matt 5:3 The unregenerate heart isn’t poor in spirit. It is proud, self-righteous, and boastful (every man is pure in his own eyes – Prov 16:2). Matt 5:4 The unsaved don’t...

“You can’t tell me you can trust Christ as Savior and live like the Devil and still go go heaven. Yes I can tell you that. That’s what the Bible says. If you don’t come to that conclusion that yes, you can trust Christ as your Savior and live like the Devil, and still go heaven when you die...

I used to have a Ryrie Study Bible. He was opposed to Lordship salvation and believed repentance was strictly a change of mind, not turning from sin. Just do a quick search on the subject. He may not have been as extreme as Zane Hodge though.

Jesus was a great healer (Mark 3:9-10). He healed some because of the faith of the ones that were sick (Matt 9:29). Some were healed in response to the faith of other people (Luke 7:1-10). He also healed when there was no faith apparent at all (Luke 22:50-51). He performed his miracles by his...

When William Carey wanted to go to India a preacher, said to him, “Sit down, young man. When God wants to reach the nations, he’ll do it without your help.” In other words, “Don’t you go out there and preach the gospel indiscriminately to those pagans. You might tempt somebody to embrace the...

Mark 6:5 And he could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them. Mark 6:6 And he marveled because of their unbelief. And he went about among the villages teaching.

Is this the real reason many oppose bringing law and order to our crime ridden cities? I really thought this was a parody but sadly, it seems some people actually believe what this lady says.

You make a solid, logical point. No matter who may be right on some of these things, God was and is in control of everything down to the last molecule. God raises men up for certain purposes but nothing man does can thwart God's plans even if we don't fully understand how these things work...

John MacArthur is was a hardcore, dyed-in-the-wool, uncompromising, five-point-Calvinist just like you are but didn’t wring his hands about God failing, but maybe it will come to pass the second time around. He actually held to the same understanding I explained in his Study Bible and saw no...

According to scripture he could have been but everything worked out according to the sovereign will of God. The age old question concerning the sovereignty of God and man's responsibility. If the Jews would have accepted the truth the scriptures would have been written differently.

Nothing failed. The Jews did not accept the truth so John did not fulfill the prophecy exactly as Jesus said.

Jesus told them if they will receive it, John would have been the fulfillment of the Elijah prophecy. That did not happen therefore, he was not the fulfillment of that prophecy. Elijah will still come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord which of course is yet future.

You're toxic.

John the Baptist came in the spirit and power of Elijah (Matt 11:14) and Jesus told them if they had believed, John would have been the fulfillment of the Elijah prophesies. John the Baptist took on Elijah’s prophetic role but the same spirit that led to John’s execution would also put Christ on...

I've heard of semantics and what you said fits the bill.

I am beginning to appreciate the nuances of some of the Reformed positions in relation to the Millennial reign of Christ although I strongly believe the thousand years in Revelation 20 should not be symbolized in any way. However, we can disagree without malice. Concerning dual fulfillment in...

Sorry about that. I guess I am getting your position mixed up with Ekk. So you believe there will be an actual reign of Christ for one thousand year on the earth? As to the question on why I gave the example of the Calvinist who didn’t want to have children, that should be obvious. You bring up...
