    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    That’s a bit exclusive, since there are numbers of Christians that don’t believe it. On the contrary, it’s exactly as though we came up with the definition, just as you described. The definition doesn’t apply to any other thing, and the Bible doesn’t provide that definition. Yes, He died. And...

    Limited atonement !

    And the ables have no clue what to tell them? That’s certainly not scriptural. 1 Peter 3:15 (KJV) But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    It’s unnecessary. Why would one come up with a different definition for death for humans vs everything else? And if we use a different language in our conversation, I.e., say “dead” when we mean “still alive”, why would unbelievers listen to us when we say “6 days only means 6 days”. It’s a...

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    And [Mat 24:24 ESV] For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

    Limited atonement !

    Well that’s helpful, not.

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    That’s where Christians go when they stop believing truth. Not all go all the way immediately, or in the same generation, but they go.

    Why are Christians embracing Evolution?

    Yeppers! And they want science to be decided by fiat. Truth is what they say it is. Thus, a man may not be a man, or a woman a woman. A live human being in a womb is not a human being, or not alive. What is true today, may not be true tomorrow. Science must change to fit the narrative.

    Unlikely. But he has minions. [Mat 25:41 KJV] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: The angels are "his". They are under his authority. And within those angels is a hierarchical structure, no...

    Tasted Death for every Man !

    As soon as you get far enough along in showing that @beloved57 is wrong, he'll put you on ignore. He can't handle the truth.

    Tasted Death for every Man !

    Maybe not FOR Adam's sin, but certainly BECAUSE OF Adam's sin. [Rom 5:12 KJV] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

    Yes, by personal choice, he did. But he argued that he had a right to be paid, just like the other apostles. 1 Corinthians 9:9-10 (KJV) 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 10 Or saith he [it]...

    But he definitely still dangles the cheese.

    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    Yes, that’s the standard rejoinder. But it doesn’t apply if you read the context. And if that’s the only one, which is about giving for distressed saints in other churches, does that mean we don’t pay our pastors? Of course not, and apparently you don’t have to be cheerful about it, though it...

    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    Oh, I see. Sorry I missed that. The way I understand walking in the Spirit is that we joyfully do the things that we used to need a law to force us to do when we walked in the flesh. So while we don’t do the wave offerings as the law stipulated, we still thank God for what He gives, and we...

    They do in a Love your neighbor sense. Like the parapet example. We would apply that today as a deck railing.

    Trying to understand the liberal mind.

    I’ve known a few people that like his teachings. I haven’t read much, but the part I have was trying to understand how the Old Testament laws would work today, at least the civil ones, like having a parapet on your roof to keep friends from falling off, and sharing your increase (tithe or wave...

    Global Warming - a leftist delusion

    Global warming is acknowledged by some who don't think it is man-caused. For instance, they think it is attributable to solar cycles, and isn't a threat, or at least not much of one, and not one we can do much about. And there are some that think global warming is caused by carbon dioxide and...
