There was no other way to deal with man's sin - that kept mankind in existence.

I do not disagree with the gist of your comments here. In fact, I've thought almost the exact same thing about Dr. Peterson. I did want to say, however, that love is not antithetical to the intellect. Indeed, love is an act of the intellect. One cannot love that which he does not choose to love...

My only response to this is to say three things... First of all, I'm sorry about the Phillip/Stephen error. So embarrassing! Second, I agree with, sympathize with and agonize over the confusion created THROUGHOUT the church by Acts 2 Dispensationalism. I simply hate the fact that it is the...

Maybe Phillip was his middle name! :unsure:

Yes! Of course I meant Stephen! This error is actually what woke me up this morning at 4:30 and wouldn't let me go back to sleep. It is also not the first time I've made this exact same mistake! I seem to have a glitch in my brain that wants to call Stephen, Phillip! I even do it when speaking...

I've not delved much at all into ChatGPT and the little bit I have has been rather uninteresting really. This morning, I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep and so decided to ask ChatGPT what the word Logos meant. Here's the results.... Clete: What is the best English translation for...

Embarrassing.

I've tried. It's an addiction, I think. Yeah, that was sort of heat of the moment thing and should not have been said. Had I been anywhere near a computer, I'd have deleted that half an hour after I posted it. I'll do what I want to do and there's not one damn thing you can do about it...

No Mid-Acts believer would ever desire (rightly) to remove James from the scripture. James wrote a brilliant epistle that is not only profitable now but will be critical when God returns to working directly with and through Israel. Besides, you couldn't remove the book of James without the same...

No it wasn't Derf! You're wrong. Nope! Not one single ad hominem is in any post I've made in the last year. You don't know what you're talking about. You don't know what an argument from silence is and you don't know what an ad hominem is either. Liar. Except that there is evidence and the...

Your questions had no bearing on anything I said or believe or that has anything to do with what any Mid-Acts Dispensationalists teaches. You get out what you put in.

Which is why I made an argument. Ignoring an argument doesn't count as a refutation. I don't care how you meant it. Of course! How would that be relevant? Ever since Socrates introduced the world to an immutable God who controls everything that happens. If God isn't the God of Socrates...

I am so bored with this website! You yourself called it a strawman argument you silly idiot! Repeating your position doesn't make it so either.

I knew it! I KNEW that you'd say something idiotic like this! I mean literally idiotic stupidity! I ALMOST posted it as a prediction but didn't because I didn't want to come off as being a jerk!!! Can you not bother to even do a google search or something to see if maybe you've made a mistake...

I'm very short on time and so don't take this short response as me blowing off what you've said. Indeed, you've said here basically what I expected you to say and it is very much in keeping with what most Christians would say. What I don't understand is why you, as does practically every other...

No, I wouldn't agree with that at all. There is no need to answer theodicy (the problem of evil) because there is no problem of evil as I explained in the previous post. Theodicy is a problem that resides completely and only within the world of those who think God controls every event that...

You are simply too ignorant of the subject matter to have a constructive conversation with. Nothing you said here was even in response to anything I said or believe. It's as if you speak some foreign language and I'm not interested in taking you by the hand to teach you the 1st grade level...

God did not "permit it to happen"! On the contrary, He explicitly forbade it and punished everyone involved! Do any of you people ever stop and actually think about what your doctrine says about God or do you just give the issue lip service? GOD IS JUST!!!! That belief has consequences! If...

How do you square that with Jesus, when someone asked Him how to be saved, He told him to follow the law and when he asked Jesus to clarify which law, Jesus started listing the ten commandments? Also, how do you square that with James chapter 2 where it explicitly states that faith alone is dead?

You disagree, ostensibly based on a passage of scripture that JR just artfully removed from your use to support any such disagreement and yet you persist with your disagreement based on an appeal to popularity, which tells all of us who know how to think clearly, that your disagreement never had...
