Here's a general overview (29 pages) of the greek in Eph. 1, applying to israel. pfrs.org/commentary/Eph… My series takes that premise and considers all the characteristics Paul names in Eph. 1, and the only ones who check ALL the boxes are the apostles. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Two posts from the same person, commenting under my post about muslims NOT worshipping the God of Abraham. "It's just imperfect worship". What an absolute clown!

And why does God go out of His way to make it appear as if He doesn't ordain and accomplish every action?? Example... God basically saying "How Dare You!" Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense…

Sheer dishonesty again from Calvinists. Piper hijacks a partial text from a narrative that actually refutes Calvinism. He pairs it with a completely unrelated partial quote from Jesus and VIOLA! He created Calvinism where there is none! Scripture tells us exactly what happened…

Paul, being fully aware that only the Pope could correctly interpret the letter he was writing, included the instruction "I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren." 1 Thes.5.27, because he wanted them all to misunderstand it. 🤦Catholics🤦

Just a reminder that neither Matthew Mark Luke Paul James Jude or John wrote to any of their 1st century audiences thinking "i hope Peter or one of his successors visits them soon to explain this letter, otherwise they won't understand it".

Exactly right. And exactly like PHARAOH in Exodus 5. Withholding the necessary supplies for them to meet their quota of making bricks, then beating them because they didn't meet their quota.

That's literally what the meme is. 🤷

Found this meme today. Catholic arguments against sola scriptura are terribly insufficient. In the present example, this entire argument ASSUMES that every person depicted in the meme (and thousands of others) was SINCERELY utilizing "sola scriptura" and being honest with…

This is what you get from people who have never even once looked up the original references Paul cites in Romans 9.

Imagine a judge saying you will be saved from prison by community service. This masondixon guy would respond "so that means you're gifting me completed community service credits, right?"

Literally not a single verse says "nobody believes unless it is given to them by God." He cited three verses. He didn't cite John 6.65 which would have been the closest to his conclusion. "No one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.” and even then he…

Now ask @xTheGoodNews what does "HAVE" mean?? Jacob i HAVE loveD and esau i HAVE hateD. Calvinists flat out do not care about verb tense. He probably thinks God told rebecca "i already hate esau and already love jacob" before the kids were born.

I reposted the comment below, from 3 or 4 years ago, because Derek still holds the same conclusion to this day. He then shares it and claims it's "not a good use of his time" to respond. He can't defend his position, yet he is not willing to change.

I can't believe this comment is even real. "Mohammed wasn't a false prophet. Mohammed said so!"

@CapturingChrist is out here retroactively turning the Crusades into a family dispute. 🤦

As an ex-Muslim I would say “As an ex-Muslim and now Christian, Muslims do not worship the same God.” HOWEVER, Cameron said this, so what do I know? 🤷‍♀️

I've read the Quran. I can summarize it for you in one sentence. Allah's entire reason and purpose for existing is merely to give Mohammed whatever he wants. That's it. That's the Quran. Allah is a divine authority that Mohammed appeals to to serve himself. Mohammed wants…
