Re: Mental health and the Fall

Thank you for your reply Kenneth, a reply from a man who has been where I am now, perhaps not in the same or even similar circumstances, but there is a lot to be taken from your post.

On a more mundane note, and please excuse my European ignorance on this, but what happened in 1907 in America?

Re: Mental health and the Fall

I`ve chewed things over further Steve. I may never "put this one to bed" completely, but it would help to think that Wil did not forfeit his salvation through pulling the trigger in that forest. No Christian should have to go through what he went through on this Earth and still not "make it". My hop...

Re: Saving Faith: Tests & Evidence That are NOT Proof

Thank you Steve. I wish I had had you standing over my shoulder, providing such contextual insight, when I first endeavoured to embark on "quiet times" at the age of 18, barely able to handle the bluntness of some of what I was reading. By the way, I appreciated your exchange with Hosé on Friday`s b...

Re: Saving Faith: Tests & Evidence That are NOT Proof

Having read your posts I can only conclude that I was never saved in the first place. I fail nearly every proof here. I strive, but I don`t strive enough. I am partly reformed and sympathetic to the things of God, but seemingly not regenerated. And it seems to me that the majority of Christians are ...

Re: Those who`ve never heard

Hi Rick, I don't know why he didn't reply My mind has wandered in other directions in the last few days*. It`s true also though that I felt my question had been answered. If it was the wrong question to ask, then it would perhaps be odd that Steve`s answer would have a sense of rightness or logic to...

Re: Those who`ve never heard

The question "But what about those who don't hear?" appears to have never entered their minds!!! I take your point Rick. But the Apostles were further down the road of discipleship than I am. They could digest meat whereas I, after a long time away from God and the Church, am on baby`s rusks. They ...

Re: Those who`ve never heard

Thank you all for your great replies! I`ll chew over these in the coming week.
Steve, you have a knack of piercing my soul with your sweet reasonableness. "Ripping God off". What a simple but powerful concept to take to heart.

Those who`ve never heard

I heard on Ravi Zacharias` site (admittedly not from him, merely quoted by one of his associates on the inference that it might be true) that before He created Man God knew those who would respond to Him and who not. And that therefore He made sure that those whom He knew would respond would also ge...
