A must watch!

Another one, not as clever, is "The 51% have no inherent right over the 49%." That one comes from Bob Enyart, afaik.

That being...? What, like this? https://dailycaller.com/2020/08/27/cnn-chiron-wisconsin-riots-mostly-peaceful-correspondent-burning-building/ How many buildings were raided, windows smashed, vehicles burned out, by Trump supporters on January 6th? How many when George Floyd was killed...

Saying it doesn't make it so. "EPISKOPES" just means "overseership." A "superintendent," if you will. You're confusing the fact that most modern churches (barring the RCC, et al) don't have such an office with whether MADs admit they existed at one point in time. And? Why should it...

Your faith should be in what Christ has already done for you, rather than on what you do or do not do. We in the body of Christ are sealed unto the Day of Redemption and our standing before God is not predicated upon what we do or don't do but on what Christ has done for us. (@Clete, I borrowed...

In other words, they've been stealing from you to "pay" dead people who cannot receive your money. You are guilty of what is called a "sunk cost fallacy." It is "the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it...

Something you don't have. Yes, that's for people who have put their faith in Him, rather than in their works. You have not. Your faith is in your doing of good works, that you might be saved on the last day, rather than trusting in Christ's completed work on the cross, that you WILL BE...

I'm pretty sure the point @7djengo7 is trying to make is that you're refusing to recognize that something you said regarding your position was in error, because your position is self-contradictory, and that you should humble yourself and recognize that, and then make an effort to retract the...

You seem to have forgotten to what I was replying to. Here is what was said: You said, "God offered mankind repentance from sin." But that's not what He offered. He offered "repentance unto life." That is, in fact, "salvation"! It's the "from sin" part I was correcting you on. God has...

AMEN! What, did you think I wouldn't agree with this passage? It means offered, given. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Luke... Oh wait, you won't be able to, because you aren't saved... When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, “Then...

Reminder to all that neither profanity nor implied profanity (such as abbreviations) are permitted on TOL, according to our rules.

First, go read 2 Corinthians 12 again. It was not Paul who was "caught up." "I know a man in Christ who..." "... how he was caught up into Paradise..." Second, I have already mentioned in post #942 that it could have been moved after Christ's resurrection. I just read Revelation 2, where...

That's not what God offered. He offered SALVATION from sin and death, if we repent to God. Repenting from sin does nothing, except shows your humility! It's simply an acknowledgement that "I can't do this on my own, and I need a Savior to save me from my sin." Letting go of the rope is not...

THAT'S the verse I was trying to think of earlier!

Yes. Lazarus went to Abraham's Bosom. Jesus also went to Abraham's Bosom. That's not a place of suffering, obviously. Both Abraham's Bosom (Paradise) and Hell are in "the grave." Hence my "same mall, different store" analogy. Agreed. I didn't call it Hell, though, did I? I said "the...

Agreed! (y) I do. The following passage is clearly talking about Jesus. But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says:“When He ascended on high,He led captivity captive,And gave gifts to men.” (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean...

Where did I ever say there wouldn't be any more plot twists? I simply stated that God has predetermined some things to come to pass. How He goes about making them happen is up to Him. But they will, in fact, happen. You have yet to provide any evidence that shows that they won't, in fact, happen.

Then what, exactly, is it that you do with those statues, icons, images, etc? The Catholics are the ones who are obsessed with Mary, not Protestants. So what? God can't use a woman who has sinned to be the vehicle for the coming of the Messiah? She was a virgin. In that way, she was...

Meaning?
