I intentionally didn't quote any one person. It was just a general observation.

Wow! I don't deserve that, but thank you! Remember that list of 100 books I posted a few weeks ago? The first two books were by C. S. Lewis. I simply love the way that man said things and it inspired me to put a lot more effort into paying attention to how I say things rather than just stating...

I didn't intend to imply that you thought that it was the biggest problem with Catholicism. Maybe I'm just in a weird mood but reading the dispensational arguments just struck me as being like a guy showing up at Walmart with nothing but underwear on and someone complaining that he's got too...

You guys aren't wrong about the dispensational errors that Catholics make but boy does it feel like that's small potatoes in comparison to the rest of the Roman Catholic faith. Dispensational critiques make sense when addressing Southern Baptist or Church of Christ doctrine, where the problems...

It should be noted that my post teaches a doctrine that is uniquely Pauline (Of course I know that you know this!). It is Mid-Acts Dispensational soteriology. Peter, James and John taught something quite different. So much so that if one fails to see the unique ministry of the Apostle Paul and...

He correctly points out the atheist's flawed premise but I was disappointed in his inability to directly and fully respond to the so called "problem of evil". His concession that it hasn't been answered baffled me! It prompted me to write the following.... Responding to "The Problem of Evil"

First and foremost, Christians should not begin by accepting the atheist’s framing of the so-called problem of evil. Before answering the challenge, the atheist should be pressed to define evil in the first place. If there is no God, then there is no objective standard of right and wrong...

YouTube is extra stupid about their age restrictions. The video is just a mini gun being filmed in super slow motion. They'd be happy for any seven year old to watch two men tongue kissing each other!

No! Christ's death paid for all of your sin - past, present and future. Once a person is placed into Christ by the baptism of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:13), they are sealed with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13–14, 4:30) and made spiritually alive in Christ. Sin can grieve the Holy...

Ezekiel 18, on its own, is positive proof that your proposed solution cannot be correct. The problem lies in a flawed premise. You see no meaningful distinction between physical death and spiritual death, or at best, that any such distinction is irrelevant, but that conflation is precisely where...

Yes, ttruescott is a lunatic who seems to make his doctrine up as he goes along. He reads the back of a Froot Loops box and gets inspiration for the next Beavis and Butt-Head endorsed doctrine of "Christianity".

Derf, The further I went into the following post, the more aware I became of not being certain about just what it is you're trying to argue here. I think it would be a good idea for you to articulate, as clearly as you can, just what it is you're arguing. What is it that you're disagreeing with...

I Corinthians 15 is not talking about physical life and death. Do you know of even one single person who has been made physically alive in Christ?

Nick M and Right Divider are not the same person, outmeal! And, you seem to be trying your best to miss the point. Jesus wasn't asking a real question, He was being sarcastic. He was saying to Nichodemus, "You're a lot dumber than you think you are." He was mocking his status as "a teacher of...

I had the following "discussion" with Chat GPT after uploading the image above and quoting the caption below it. I'm posting the entire (relatively short) discussion to demonstrate how GPT should not be trusted at face value. You really do have to press to make sure that what you're getting...

How would anything Right Divider has said in anyway imply that Jesus was wrong? Wrong about what? There seems to be no mental path I can find to connect anything he's said to such a goofy conclusion.

That's a VERY good sign! It never made sense to you because it does not make sense - period. It means that your innate sense of justice is still intact, as is your ability to think clearly. Augustine is almost single-handedly responsible for the doctrine of original sin as we know it, but...

I've had Chat GPT edit the essay to make it easier to read. The content is exactly the same except for the formatting (e.g. paragraphs and numbered lists, etc)...

Where the footnotes not helpful?

Completely brilliant! How amazing it is to read something based on real wisdom, gained through long devotion, diligent study and sound reason. You should start a thread a couple of times a week with one of his writings.
