Brothers All, The issue of Regeneration has long been debated by more formidable minds than all of us over the course of Church History. It is not my purpose, nor am I qualified, to present the 'convincing' proof that most of you seek. As I've said in previous posts, I spent most of early my church...

First off, Bob/Traveler, I must commend you for staying with us long enough to have a calm, composed discourse without a lot of animosity or bitterness. I appreciate your temperament. While I do believe that the Calvinism/Arminian question is important; I will also say other issues by necessity must...

You believe Jesus died upon the cross for "The Whole world". But Matthew plainly tells us, Mat 1:21 "for He shall save His people from their sins." IMHO, there is no discrepancy in a Non-Calvinist declaring that Christ died for the World and also believing what Christ said in Matthew 1:21. ... You ...

... Jesus Himself directly taught as well as Jeremiah, Isaiah and Ezekiel throughout Scripture that man needs a "new heart" to recieve the things of God. Man is incapable to regenerate in himself a "new heart". You and I don't miracuiously change our own hearts and then come to faith ... Traveler: ...

My thoughts on the issue as a whole. While I do think that math and science are very important subjects to pursue, I do contend that God doesn't need to explain himself and condescend to an intellectual plane sufficient enough to interface with what our feeble minds can conjecture in the form of mod...

Hello all in name of Jesus: This short diatribe is not directed at any one in particular; it is simply intended to be mutually edifying to both our Calvinist and Arminian brethren, and anyone in between. As we continue this topic, let us all remember the great potential we have to repeat historical ...

Here is Alfred's translation of the Ten commandments, and the Lord's prayer: Ara thinum fæder and thinre meder that the Drighten sealde the, that thu sy thy leng libende on eorthan. Ne slea thu.

People who believe in the King James Only usually have other abnormalities in their Christian lives as well. Unfortunately, I usually find this to be true as well..... John Wycliffe (1320-1384) translated the entire Bible into English. What many who hold the “KJV only” position are not aware of is ...

Songs of the Ausbund
Hello all: I'm not sure if this is the right place to put a topic like this, nor do I know if this issue has been discussed before. My question is if any of you knew if there are any of the " Songs of the Ausbund " available online in digital form somewhere? So far as I have researched, I marvel tha...
