| 6 hours ago | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | I tried to move this conversation to chat but it doesn’t work. Alas. How does that not sound elitist? And condescending, as if to say that I haven’t researched this matter or if I had I would have drawn a different conclusion? It is precisely because I have studied this intently that I reject a pre-deterministic view, entirely incompatible with the character of God and with Scripture. When you say understand “grace”, it sounds reminiscent of reformed theology/calvinism, and there is nothing of grace for God to damn the majority of men whilst also not affording them the ability to freely choose | |
| 9 hours ago | comment | added | Don | No. He is not cruel. He is not a liar. I understand your position. And, I understand your concern. I was also at one time unable to understand grace before, as I do now. For the sake of the community, feel free to have the last word. I don't plan to respond, however, here on this post. Maybe we can meet up again on another point later. Kind regards, @NihilSineDeo. | |
| 10 hours ago | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | Then God is cruel if it’s monergism @Don and a liar, giving false options | |
| 10 hours ago | comment | added | Don | It seems to be the difference between monergism and synergism @NihilSineDeo. I believe the former better reflects the gospel, whereas the latter shares similarities with all "religions". My study has been mainly Scripture itself. | |
| 10 hours ago | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | The problem @Don with your claim, that Christ is Faith, is that it doesn’t work. No where does regeneration proceed faith in the Bible. And that’s basically what you are saying, you need Christ in order to get Christ. And that’s basically impossible and illogical. If you already have Christ, you don’t need to attain Christ, and if you don’t have Christ, then you’ll never have Christ. But if faith is exactly what it has always been, a trust, a confidence, a fidelity and it is not Christ, all the inconsistencies and problems go away. My suggestion is check why you have accepted this idea | |

| 12 hours ago | comment | added | Don | Peace @NihilSineDeo! Just as God is love, we could dissect that in a similar fashion, yes? However, for me this is a several year study, due to seeing the religion of faith causing the true difficulty. I would like to talk further but can not do chat. Here, in comments, we will run into straining the moderators' patience. Thus, we are left to "questions and answers from a hermeneutical perspective" (which we would really both desire anyway!) I will try to find another link from the past month here on BH. Kind regards. | |
| 12 hours ago | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | Christ is faith? How so? Is refraining from eating meat pointing to Christ? Is choosing celibacy pointing to a Christ? Is submitting to governing authorities pointing to Christ? Is speaking about a church member sleeping with his mother pointing to Christ? I think you have made a huge assumption and misapplication. Christ is faith? That I would love more proof of because nothing indicates faith being Christ. So you need Christ to receive Christ? See the absurdity Inrun into when conflating faith with Christ? | |
