    ECT Mark 8:35

    And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the...

    ECT Cause of Unbelief

    What is the cause of unbelief? Is it something we are born with or that we learn? I ask specifically of unbelief with the understanding that all that is not of faith is sin and belief on Christ is necessary for salvation and Godliness. If you don't think we are born as unbelieving, then does a...

    Legal Sanity and LGBT/Bathroom Laws

    I'm not a lawyer, but just a few minutes of reflection (and I'm not even certain how deep that reflection is...) makes me wonder how the law can withstand any sort of attempted defense of the bathroom laws being foisted upon the American public. After all, the only thing that could be said to be...

    Leaders

    Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. Hebrews 13:7 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that...

    ECT Minds and power

    In his second letter to the Corinthians, Paul writes this : But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto...

    ECT I will bless who?

    Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that...

    ECT When does responsibility before God "kick in"?

    Allow me to say up front that the academic nature of my question does not indicate a coldness to this girl's condition. But if salvation is about meeting emotional needs, then we should all simply preach a social gospel and worry more about feelings than spiritual condition. I use this article...

    Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev 3:20 1. What door is Jesus knocking on? 2. Is there any importance to the fact that He is knocking? Is this just a rap on the wood? 3. Is...

    Choice??

    I have never forayed into the abortion debate so why I am now (if this can even be said to getting in the debate), I can't say. It may have something to do with the persistent defense of a group that exists almost solely for the purpose of performing abortions - even in light of all the...

    Films with conviction...

    Once upon a time, Hollywood had the general aim of uplift and entertainment (and some escapism)...today the general aim has been lowered to one of titillation and pandering (I won't argue this point myself but accept it as background to the question). But every now and then a film has come...

    What homepage do you use?

    I have used Yahoo for the longest time, but the articles that it hosts are often mind-numbing for their poor research and sometimes laughable grammar. I chose it years ago simply because I didn't want anything to do with Google. I like Yahoo's layout but am tired of the nonsense. What homepage...

    ECT Conditionalism

    Is this a fair picture of conditional security (as it works itself out)? Picture a man walking down a long, dark, rocky road beset with thieves, murderers and wild beasts. He has a weight on his back that he has to carry around with him everywhere he goes. He has to keep moving. To settle down...

    ECT Romans 1

    Based on reading Romans 1, can it be said that sexual immorality is a (semi-) direct consequence of (persistent) idolatry? If so, does it have to be idolatry writ large or can it be less obvious idolatry? Assuming the positive, is it a fair leap to make that this was the reason that the...
