Understood. I work with Texas Port Ministry visiting many of the ships coming into Freeport and there are many ships that have crews of both Russian and Ukranian nationality. I am not sure how all this works but they seem to get along well enough.

I have a friend of mine (an old Navy buddy) who has spent several years as a missionary to the Ukraine and is still quite connected. He and I went back and forth some regarding Zelenskyy and his precarious relationship with President Trump. While we do not see completely eye-to-eye, what I do...

Been praying for your family!

Classic Arminians understand and acknowledge the doctrine of total depravity as it applies to Jn 6:44 so they do, in fact acknowledge that it is God who pursues and initiates our conversion. The big difference is that Arminians call it "prevenient grace" which draws a man to Christ and enables...

The big issue with an 1828 dictionary is that you can "cherry pick" the definitions and thus manipulate the text if you fail to use the correct definition which fits the context. Bible Colleges in the KJVO world see the study of Hebrew and Greek as being little more than an "exercise in...

I'm not entirely sure where I would be in disagreement with Steven Anderson here aside from his "Theology is stupid" statement. Christ did not set aside or empty himself of his deity (Kenosis) but he was TRULY HUMAN as well as being TRULY DIVINE meaning that his human nature was not...

I have a Websters 1828 dictionary that I have found invaluable and have had since way back when I was staunch KJVO! Actually, I believe a good Greek lexicon or interlinear study bible is an even better resource but such would be anathema to the KJVO crowd that I once ran with!

Everything else is forgivable, tolerable, and excusable but if he is a Calvinist.... he's OUTTA THERE!!!

I agree. But the scriptures also clearly state that what God has created, he made "good" and "very good!" What do you think the "New heavens and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness" will look like? I am convinced that we spend an eternity of eternities going about exploring and discovering...

We are certainly hindered providentially from "reaching our full potential" are we not? Gen 11:6 is an interesting passage but the ultimate conclusion is tied to man's total depravity: Genesis 11:6 - And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they...

God certainly removed the veil from this man's eyes and for this I do rejoice!

To disagree with Calvinism is one thing. I can respect those who come to differing views related to predestination and election. To be anti-Calvinist is to be anti-Bible and I stand by this.

I came close to joining a Reformed Baptist congregation when I first moved back to Houston in 2006. I really liked the pastor and their Bible-based expository teaching. Didn't mind their Preterist views too much but their hostility towards modern-day Israel was too much for me. I do not know how...

I would guess the implication is that the 'alphabet' person is sincerely looking for help and counseling in this matter? I agree that this is quite absurd but perhaps these churches simply have no idea how to deal with or counsel such individuals? While I can appreciate this, this is no excuse...

Is it pronounced "noon" with a silent "e?"

First of all, your friend does not need a "Church," they need regeneration! They need to hear and understand the gospel which is able to save their soul. They will not receive or even hear the gospel unless God has prepared their hearts and made them receptive. It is very important that you...

Now you got me thinking of the "sammich girl" on YouTube!

No head? what, did you do an "Ozzy" with it??? :ROFLMAO:

Manufactured revivalism? Definitely! Holy Ghost revival? We should definitely pray for it to happen as it is our only hope! 1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of...
