@BrandonABourg @PeterNDecker @sister_slay However, can he name one denomination that doesn’t believe that God is eternal? The question concerns primary matters not secondary ones. And what does the LDS church mean by eternal since everyone is eterna...

@PeterNDecker @BrandonABourg @sister_slay The fact that the LDS church doubles in size is immaterial. Growth is seen in Islam, does that make Islam true? Just because someone has a sense or feeling inside that what they believe is true doesn’t make i...

@PeterNDecker @BrandonABourg @sister_slay I’m glad that you believe and claim that your faith is in God. That being the case, it is important to identify which God we are speaking about. Given that Joseph Smith was the founder of the LDS church, if t...

@PeterNDecker @BrandonABourg @sister_slay What does it mean to say that “God was an eternal being”? Are they referring to God the Father? Wasn’t Jesus said to eternally exist as intelligence that was later reformulated as a spirit being? Wasn’t God o...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay What you are describing is clearly grace + works. In the Bible, faith is contrasted with works. Grace is a gift given to every single human but it must be accepted. If you are human, you qualify! Faith is ...

@TryinDaily @BrandonABourg @sister_slay The term “Christian” is anachronistic in Alma. The Bible says the label first appeared in Antioch decades after Jesus’ resurrection. “…they were called the people of God. And they were called Christians, becau...

@PeterNDecker @ModChristChurch @sister_slay I never left the LDS church. I have had LDS missionaries come to my house for a few years and I knew two local bishops who lived in my area. Nice people. I was never LDS. I'm sure you can check in your book...

@nickschest @Rach4Patriarchy @celestialbe1ng Eph 5:21 says "and subject yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ"⎯it's mutual. So your comment about a "prideful woman who doesn't know how to follow" suggests a prideful man trying to force his ...

@Reneechop I myself said empathy doesn’t mean accepting false teaching. Literally anything untethered from truth is problematic. I am most certainly interesting in truth. Because I disagree with you doesn’t mean that I’m not interesting in truth. Th...

@Reneechop @Rattle_Resists @michael_ronning It’s ok if you disagree with me. You can even call it ‘terrible hermeneutics’. But you won’t convince me you are right unless you can show how all the details in the text fit. Consider the following questio...

@Reneechop Going back to 1Ti 2:11-15, we now can see how Paul uses the creation order as a parallel account to a situation in Ephesus where a deceived wife teaching false doctrine and her undeceived husband is being silent and not correcting her seri...

@Reneechop Paul connects the time sequence order of creation with Eve’s deception. What we know from a careful reading of Gen 2 is that god creates Adam (2:7), then plants a garden and puts Adam in it (2:8). Then God causes the trees to supernatural...

@Ryan_Adair_A Hi Ryan! From one Ryan to another, great name 😉 I see both as negative since Paul's purpose in writing this personal letter to Timothy is to exhort him to remain in Ephesus to stop the spread of strange doctrines (ie. false teaching). ...

@iheartJ37 @Pastor_Gabe @jerryzz2 That may be part of it, but I don’t think that “good reputation” meant that people didn’t think the church leader was crazy or has lost their minds or that sort of thing. So I don’t think he meant that the world acce...

@MutamboHangford @Pastor_Gabe On the other hand, a text taken out of context can be a pretext for a proof text. Paul is clearly responding to a prior letter from the Corinthians (see 1Cor 7:1). He is quoting from it in other areas, so you need to co...
