See, this is why I don't believe you have the tools. You have no idea when rules apply and it doesn't here. YOU and the Urantia people you admire, want to dictate to God how He must behave before YOU will : Plain: "let" Him be God, as "IF" you have any say in the matter at all. Learn to...

Let's look together: Philippians 2:3,4 Php 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves. Php 2:4 Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also on the things of others. Okay, Paul has just told us...

According to you. So you become the arbiter regardless of how "I" or anyone else feels or thinks. It is tyranny, Caino. You'd lord over us YOUR values. Of COURSE it means whatever you don't like, specifically. It doesn't matter. Jesus opened those books and preached from them. YOUR...

You are compensating AND not doing so critically. Your book fails and you know it. Which means what? Whatever YOU don't like? God is Good. It doesn't mean we EVER get to judge Him. Doing so, an unholy creature trying to 'value' a wholly holy God, is pointless. It is recasting Him in...

🤔 we agree and have thought about this. Jesus called the Father "God." ??? He is. In Philippians 2 Jesus 'emptied himself.' Power ("authority," in Matthew 28:18, "over the gospel" (did you perhaps miss that?) What is the thing missed? : idunno: Try and remember, your previous...

Then if we belong to Him, there is no atrocity if He does as He will with us. You often argue as if we have rights to live. In some ways, I grasp this, we are given a mind to grasp the devastation of an ended life, but we cannot judge God. Are you this upset about abortion? Scriptures...

Has to be, the Word became flesh. There is only One who became flesh: Jesus. According to John? John 1:32 Then John gave this testimony: “I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on him. 33 And I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water told...

No. BECAUSE I am a critical thinker. I asked you a question. Listen to it again and answer if you are honest enough, or capable, or can think, to do so: Do you have a "right" to life from God? Yes or No? Very simple question. Nope, wrong. I just don't hate God. You hate 'that' God. You...

So I'm NOT ignorant then 🆙 Nope. It doesn't say that. You made up 'changed his mind' to fit your preferred narrative. Why did you? 🤔 Next: Do YOU have a 'right' to life? Yes or no. If your thinking is wrong, your conclusions will be (are) as well. It means, as I said, that 1) you...

Well, you are pretty mean to them then. All he asked for was 'scripture' not a quote from the catechism. Your angst is showing. LOL, you don't read Greek, Keypurr! Your angst is showing again. How could we not understand 'my God.' Jesus called from the cross Eloi Eloi lama...

LITERALLY, a lie. YOU aren't listening. I know you WANT it to be true but it has NONE (zip,nadda) of the authentication God necessarily gives. Though there is correction in the NT, there is cohesion of the Old and New. Your book? Stomps all over both of them. That is 'a god in your...

Er, I live in the Spirit. Trying to antiquate is a strawman. Not a parent, are you? It isn't all lovey-dovey fluff. Your book ONLY deals in fluff and philosophical platitudes, at a third grader level worst of all. Er "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, MIND, and strength...

Great posts. Prayers for enlightenment from His Word! Love you guys. -Lon

RIght, you and I believe God knows, thus foreordains. So do Arminians (most of the church). The problem in the wheat and tares analogy is that they MUST grow together until harvest because one cannot tell which is which until that time.

Beautiful verse. Agreed. This scripture isn't pitted against Matthew 13:24-30. "An enemy came and sowed weeds." You MUST reconcile all scriptures, not just some. It is necessary. Agree, but He didn't sow weeds. The 'enemy,' according to God, did.

A 'new' culture "Woke" (taken from African American slang "get woke") that advocates for equality and rights for all, has no room for a Christian conservative. It appears she may win this suit because the coaches and school (OK state) failed to include and accommodate all students.

That isn't how most Calvinists argue, the last point of TULIP is Perseverance, meaning they are a new creation that will not do as you suggest. We have to be careful, because I could say this to anyone who quotes Romans 8:1,2 There is therefore, now no condemnation, for those who are in...

Agree, love doesn't mean no discipline. 1 Corinthians to 2 Corinthians is a good example: In the first, a man is disfellowshipped for an inappropriate relationship. In 2 Corinthians Paul urges them, that the discipline worked and to bring him back to the fold. All loving actions...

Okay, take the same argument then and follow it to "You must be born again before you are born again." It is said poorly. Theology needs careful sword work. As far as your reasoning, I may agree: Nobody can 'born nor born-again themselves.' Nicodemus knew that he couldn't do this by...

This is a human thought not scripture. I get why you think this, but perhaps an example: Lon 'wills' that Beloved not post this about God. Lon's will is not thwarted, but Beloved posts anyway. It isn't that God is slow, as some count slowness. IOW, it may 'seem' thwarted to others such...
