Here's the essential as it pertains to eschatology: Christ is coming again to judge the living and the dead.
Yes!
This is the difference between
joy and happiness,
contentment and wealth,
blessedness and success,
provision and prosperity,
eternal comfort and temporal comfort.
@TinaKotek Kwanzaa was made up in the 60s by Ronald McKinley Everett, aka "Maulana Ndabezitha Karenga." He was a violent black nationalist who was convicted for torturing, assaulting and kidnapping black women.
The Parable of the Sheep and the Goats is commonly misunderstood (as by you here, Zach) as a story about how people will be judged on the Day of Judgment based on whether they helped the poor, the resident alien, and outcasts. In the context of Matthew's Gospel, it is really about how Jesus on the Day of Judgment will judge the nations based on their positive or negative reception of Christian missionaries. "Keeping Christ in Christmas" by that definition would be proclaiming the gospel about Christ's atoning death and new-creation resurrection, requiring of others repentance and faith in the gospel. https://t.co/OS932ANMRg
With @KirkCameron announcing his position on conditionalism I’m seeing a lot of people attempting to critique it. I hold to ECT, but I do understand the topic of conditional immortality and I have yet to see anyone actually give a rebuttal that shows me they’ve interacted with the arguments and biblical reasoning from the other side. To condemn conditionalism/annihilationism as heresy is to say that John Stott, Edward Fudge, F. F. Bruce, potentially even Athanasius of Alexandria, are all heretics. This is, with all due respect, ridiculous. While the position might be unorthodox it is not heresy. If you actually want to interact with someone who knows the topic reach out to my friends @datechris and/or @DanPaterson7. Both are solid, fair minded, well educated and articulate holders of conditionalism.
Calvinism is just biblical Christianity.
It’s not a system invented by anyone. It’s believing what the Bible says, particularly concerning the study of God’s work in our salvation.
