Entitled?

It seems like he is using the term "Christian" in a non-religious sense. He seems to be using it in a manner that is almost synonymous with "the West" or "Western society," as if the term "Christian" denotes a cultural way of thinking that stands apart from the faith that carries the same name...

That is, of course, true, but most simply do not see it. I remember very clearly when I experienced the "light-bulb moment" while reading Enyart's The Plot. In fact, Enyart was responsible for two major light-bulb moments for me. The second was during his bible study of the book of Genesis...

You certainly have the art of brevity down to a science! :cool:

I presume you're referring to Romans 6:11... Romans 6:11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Saying it means what he (Paul) says, is easy, but if you ask ten Christians what it means, you'll probably get ten different...

I have heard it few times. They think that its just the part about the Gentiles being fellow heirs that's new, not large portions of the whole gospel. It's rather amazing when you see what you and I can clearly see, how blind they are to what they're reading. They see one single tiny aspect of...

The following is just me reacting off the top of my head to your quite bare statement. It should not be understood to be me accusing you of anything. Indeed, I'd be surprised to discover that you disagree with a syllable of what follows... I entirely agree with this in principle and as stated...

Romans 2:16b ...God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my (Paul's) gospel. Romans 16:25 Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret since the world began 2...

Compounding lie upon lie, are we? Don't bother. It won't do you any good.

Awesome tangent though! Please explain further.

Outstanding post! I agree with every single syllable of it. I won't get into it here but it turns out that all knowledge - ALL KNOWLEDGE - is predicated upon two primary truths. 1. Existence is real. 2. Reason works. Every single truth claim, indeed, every meaningful syllable anyone ever...

You are a liar. No! Not because of a law! You religious indoctrination has blinded you to the difference between morality (right and wrong) and the law. Nope! You cannot fix stupidity. Read them! There isn't anything needed other than the words on the page! The bible doesn't need my help...

So be it!

That's rich! You, of all people, call me obtuse! :ROFLMAO: Just as when reading the bible, all I can go by is the words you used! I quoted you directly and responded to what the words that you used mean. This response has no connection whatsoever to the point it was supposedly in response...

How is it even possible to be this biblically illiterate? There are people who have been Christians for ten minutes that can tell you the difference between morality and legalism. I mean, have you ever read Romans chapter 6 or Galatians 3? It is literally one of the most basic principles of...

Derf, you're either lying now or you lied when you made the following point... RightDivider: The body of Christ is not Israel and Israel is not the body of Christ. Derf: True. And Israel is not Israel, either: Romans 9:6 KJV, “Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are...

@Derf, By what objective standard do you propose that anyone determine what God "really meant" apart from what the inspired text actually says? (See my previous post for context.)

Did you make that?

Idolater has the thickest pair of Catholic-colored glasses I’ve ever seen. Next we’ll be hearing that both the wheel and hard candy were Catholic inventions. Ignoring the goofy comments about white supremacy completely… Idolater’s “argument” only works by defining “Catholic” so broadly that...

Derf, your property example actually makes my point better than I did. Your attorney told you that the intent of the person who filed the plat would have to be determined from the document itself, not from whatever that person might later claim he remembered intending. Exactly! The document is...
