Re: Bible Museum in Amsterdam

We went to the Mennonite Museum a few hours from here - they showed a lot of history, had rooms set up to show how they lived, and so we could taste what they still eat. We are neighbors with them and fellowship with them often. They are not what I had expected to find, coming from an atheist backgr...

Re: Bible Museum in Amsterdam

Didja go? What did they have there? What could they fill a whole museum with about one book? Hmm. . ..

Re: The Coming Destruction of the Apostate Church

It is wonderful to have a forum such as this on which to put our thoughts and beliefs before the brethren for feedback and their valuable discernment. Would that we were preoccupied with thoughts of Stephen whose face reflected the glory of God and others whose very presence caused people to repent ...

Re: Universalism and the Purpose of Life

True but unbelievers will reap what they sow at least as i understand scripture therefore whatever reaping entails it may not be for reconciliation, it may be for justice. I see scripture saying that every one reaps what he sows. When a believer or an unbeliever reaps what he has sown, and realizes...

Re: Searching, Striving, Suffering

Ace: I just get lost in my own little world of watching TV, reading pulp and the like, forgetting that I owe God my service instead of being a couch potato. I'm just not too sure of how I stack up when it comes to obeying His commands. Or confessing him in the way I conduct myself around others. Or...

Re: Universalism and the Purpose of Life

I do love the title of this thread. It seems that what we believe must tie in with our whole purpose in this life, which I also see as an opportunity to come to know God and glorify Him. Steve 7150 The freewill doctrine is never stated in scripture it is a deduction based on God asking us to choose....

Re: Nature of the Atonement

Good evening Homer - It is a little late, but this is what I have come up with. Perhaps I am missing something here. “. . . He set us free and also internalized the punishment due us. There is a cost to forgiveness and He bore that cost.” But, He forgave sins before He ever went to the cross. God fo...

Re: Nature of the Atonement

OK – Luke 4:18 Jesus was anointed to proclaim liberty to the captives and to set at liberty those who are oppressed. God’s ‘spiritual law of justice’ has more to do with making things right than punishments and penalties. Penalties do not change a person’s heart. What does positionally righteous mea...

Re: Nature of the Atonement

Very interesting reply. Yes, even though “even the devils believe”, when we make a sincere confession, recognizing our need for Him, we connect with Him and He gives us new life. The past is past, YET, there are strongholds that remain to be broken. When we return to some of the ‘vomit’ to see if it...
