One whole post ago, you were willing to qualify your belief in the fact that the love of pleasure is a sin, why can't you bring yourself to make the same qualification for the love of money for the same reason? Your church couldn't function without money and there is every likelihood that your...

Wow! Maybe I should forgo editing my posts more often! :)

I understand it perfectly, it is you who cannot think clearly, Marke. This idiotic post of yours make MY POINT!!!! Why is it that you see this childishly simple point so clearly but cannot apply the exact same line of reasoning to something as simple as money that is rightly yours because...

Jesus' entire existence as a man was on our behalf. No one has any problem with the notion that Jesus died on our behalf but Jesus' death only works because Jesus lived a sinless life. I'd say that both are true because Jesus was capable of breaking the law and / or sinning in other ways. His...

Lon, Look man, I'm sorry to be so direct and this won't be easy for you to hear but if you are a pastor, you need to resign. You literally do not know right from wrong! How could you possibly lead a congregation? I simply could not believe what I was reading when you were talking about...

Does not the law and the prophets also include the law itself? It seems to me that Jesus was fulfilling the law in both ways. He did things throughout His life that showed that the Old Testament talked about Him throughout and in that manner "fulfilled the law and the prophets" but that He also...

So now we have to despise pleasure too?! Pleasure is now on equal footing with sin, rebellion and wickedness? I spent the weekend with a whole bunch of like minded Christian people remembering a great man, pastor and friend who's life impact is impossible to calculate and it was one of the most...

God's character does not change but that is NOT what is meant when the Catholic, Calvinist or even the Armenian talks about God being immutable. They flatly and explicitly mean that God does not change in any way, at all - period. And, if you do not believe that to be reality then I heartily...

Right Divider, I DO NOT understand what you are saying. The phrase "fulfilling the law" may not be used in the specific context but the concept is sound. Does not Romans 7 teach us that it is the law that kills us? Romans 7: I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not...

No, it isn't a case of good and bad as in good and evil, as if anything could be both. Whether you hitting your friend's hand is good or evil depends entirely on why you did it. It is was an accident then there is no blame because accidents cannot be evil, by definition. If it wasn't intentional...

It's the motive that makes an action good or bad, Lon! And Jesus gives us the motive anyway. A father gives his kids good gifts because they were in need and asked for a piece of bread or a fish. All men have sinned and have need of a savior. Indeed, we really have no idea just how dispicable we...

Why do you not take Jesus at His word?

You're changing the subject and are basically stating that these single sentence proof texts are, in fact, figures of speech that take some effort to understand beyond the simple surface reading of the out of context sentence. And now, once again, want to pretend like what I've been saying the...

That is an excellent point! Bravo! One of the most excellent and powerful points in favor of Open Theism is that everyone who isn't an open theist has the exact problem that you just described. Immutability and the omni-attributes, as classically understood, are irrational. They cannot be held...

"It doesn't matter to God what humans want to think about sin." Really? Is that what you really believe? And I have denied nothing that God has said about anything. It's what you say that I deny.

I have no good evidence that you are a brother, Marke. Like I said, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and presuming, unless and until further evidence comes in, that you are not. I had already explicitly told you multiple times that which you decided needed "clarification". It isn't...

Cool! :cool: Thank you!

Do you even understand the concept of "figures of speech"? Can you blink your eyes without abiding in Christ? Is blinking your eyes sin? How about breathing, is that a sin too? Maybe lifting your right arm over your head, can that be done by those who don't abide in Christ and He in them...

Is that anything like lying through your teeth?

No, I haven't. Well no kidding you drooling idiot! There isn't anything I've said that the most retarded eight year old would have construed to be suggesting any such stupid thing as "any man could become God"! This post is just yet another lie. The truth is that you've gotten caught with...
