I've been interacting with Chat GPT to try and formulate a list of doctrines that would comprise what I've been calling "Biblical Christianity". When I use that phrase, the idea in my mind is that version of Christianity that is formulated entirely through the application of the plain/contextual...

Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

Consider the following basic Christian concepts... God exists. God is personal, living, moral, and rational. God created the world and created mankind in His image. There is objective right and wrong, rooted in God's nature. Humans have free will and moral responsibility. Sin is a personal...

No you weren't. Post #3.

Consider the following basic Christian concepts... God exists. God is personal, living, moral, and rational. God created the world and created mankind in His image. There is objective right and wrong, rooted in God's nature. Humans have free will and moral responsibility. Sin is a personal...

Yes! In "The Problem with Pain" I think, yes? I've heard a lot about that book but haven't fully read it yet, but I intend to do so soon. Lewis is exactly right to highlight that God's answer to suffering is not merely endurance, but transformation. The cross is the ultimate example. It isn't...

I intentionally didn't quote any one person. It was just a general observation.

Wow! I don't deserve that, but thank you! Remember that list of 100 books I posted a few weeks ago? The first two books were by C. S. Lewis. I simply love the way that man said things and it inspired me to put a lot more effort into paying attention to how I say things rather than just stating...

I didn't intend to imply that you thought that it was the biggest problem with Catholicism. Maybe I'm just in a weird mood but reading the dispensational arguments just struck me as being like a guy showing up at Walmart with nothing but underwear on and someone complaining that he's got too...

You guys aren't wrong about the dispensational errors that Catholics make but boy does it feel like that's small potatoes in comparison to the rest of the Roman Catholic faith. Dispensational critiques make sense when addressing Southern Baptist or Church of Christ doctrine, where the problems...

It should be noted that my post teaches a doctrine that is uniquely Pauline (Of course I know that you know this!). It is Mid-Acts Dispensational soteriology. Peter, James and John taught something quite different. So much so that if one fails to see the unique ministry of the Apostle Paul and...

He correctly points out the atheist's flawed premise but I was disappointed in his inability to directly and fully respond to the so called "problem of evil". His concession that it hasn't been answered baffled me! It prompted me to write the following.... Responding to "The Problem of Evil"

First and foremost, Christians should not begin by accepting the atheist’s framing of the so-called problem of evil. Before answering the challenge, the atheist should be pressed to define evil in the first place. If there is no God, then there is no objective standard of right and wrong...

YouTube is extra stupid about their age restrictions. The video is just a mini gun being filmed in super slow motion. They'd be happy for any seven year old to watch two men tongue kissing each other!

No! Christ's death paid for all of your sin - past, present and future. Once a person is placed into Christ by the baptism of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), they are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14, 4:30) and made spiritually alive in Christ. Sin can grieve the Holy...

Ezekiel 18, on its own, is positive proof that your proposed solution cannot be correct. The problem lies in a flawed premise. You see no meaningful distinction between physical death and spiritual death, or at best, that any such distinction is irrelevant, but that conflation is precisely where...

Yes, ttruescott is a lunatic who seems to make his doctrine up as he goes along. He reads the back of a Froot Loops box and gets inspiration for the next Beavis and Butt-Head endorsed doctrine of "Christianity".

Derf, The further I went into the following post, the more aware I became of not being certain about just what it is you're trying to argue here. I think it would be a good idea for you to articulate, as clearly as you can, just what it is you're arguing. What is it that you're disagreeing with...

I Corinthians 15 is not talking about physical life and death. Do you know of even one single person who has been made physically alive in Christ?

Nick M and Right Divider are not the same person, outmeal! And, you seem to be trying your best to miss the point. Jesus wasn't asking a real question, He was being sarcastic. He was saying to Nichodemus, "You're a lot dumber than you think you are." He was mocking his status as "a teacher of...
