b57 isn't here to debate things or to even have conversations, he's here to state his doctrine, not to defend it, to state it. He will, therefore, almost certainly not respond to this post, or any other post for that matter. I, on the other hand, desire to crush the Calvinist Cult into powder...

I never suggested that it did! The problem is that you're on a debate forum. NO ONE but you gives a damn about what you can show up here and claim to be true. Any idiot can do that. It's boring. No, it isn't, Tambora. Not in dispute - therefore - not relevant to the point. We can talk about...

Great argument! It wasn't a slur. Ignorance is common, even expected. It's stupidity that can't be fixed. Saying it doesn't make it so, Tambora. As stated this claim isn't even relevant. Were you attempting to imply some kind of argument here? In other words.... How do you know that this is...

Everything after the mid-Acts period has to be confusing for those who believe that the church age started with "You are Peter..." in Matthew 16. By the way, when pressed, nearly everyone who isn't Mid-Acts believes that the so called "church age" began during Christ's ministry, not Acts 2. The...

Okay. No argument there. My point was simply to say that AFTER the resurrection and AFTER Pentecost (a Jewish holiday), the nation officially rejected Christ as their Messiah after several undeniable miracles and Stephen's arguments from scripture and that, therefore, your rebuttal about them...

Well, I was talking about the early Acts period, which, obviously, is after the death and resurrection and the point at which the Fig Tree had been "fertilized" by the giving of the Holy Spirit (see Luke 13:6-9). The official rejection of Christ as their risen Messiah didn't happen until about a...

Had Israel not rejected their Messiah, God would have sent Jesus back and given Israel her Kingdom, just as Peter preached in Acts 3. Acts 3:18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled. 19 Repent therefore and be...

This gave me a chuckle. Not because it's stupid or anything like that but because once you see it, the teaching isn't just taught somewhere in the bible, its everywhere! It's so pervasive that it seems to be on every page! And I'm not exaggerating! You're quite right, by the way! There's lots...

Well, yeah, it really is. I've been a Mid-Acts Dispensationalists for decades and nothing you said comes within a mile of touching a thing I believe about anything. It's just a regurgitation of your doctrine stated within the context of a discussion about something that almost seems to be...

The above post is simply ridiculous. It's just a bunch of nonsensical rationalizing to preserve your own doctrine. It doesn't even read as though it were in response to anything dispensationalists teach! You are either totally ignorant of what you're talking about or you're just being dishonest...

Permanent ignore list.

Saying it doesn't make it so, Psychlo. Think it through. Imagine a scenario where someone gets killed by someone else. While I'm sure that someone might be able to concoct a hypotheitical scenario where everything is identical except for the motive but that wouldn't ever happen in real life...

Yes, I think so. I've been talking about reason per se, whereas you've been talking about the use of it - or lack thereof. My point is simply that people, as rational creatures, CAN correctly use reason if they choose to do so.

I get your point but its a bad example. James was teaching law to believing Jews who were under the law and "zealous for the law". Acts 21:18 On the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present. 19 When he had greeted them, he told in detail those things which...

When the bible speaks of "the heart", it is speaking about the mind. EVERYTHING volitional act you perform, whether thought, word or deed, comes from your mind. Since any moral action is a volitional action, by definition, then it follows that all of what could be considered righteousness or sin...

Reason is man's ONLY tool of knowledge. Reason is a faculty that man has to exercise by choice. Man can choose to either use reason or not, which means he can choose to think or not to think. Thinking is not an automatic function. In any hour and issue of his life, man is free to think or to...

This is just so wrong, it's hard to even put into words! I'd love to know by what process of thought you came to such a conclusion. Define "perfect"? Perfect, by what standard? Define "perfect" in the absolute sense. Exactly! He wasn't finished! Genesis 2:18 And the Lord God said, “It is...

This is further evidence that we are not as far apart as it may seem! One thing, however... I think you overstated things when you said "sin isn't in the action, but in the heart." There are dozens of scriptures along these lines but here's just a few.... Proverbs 24:12 If you say, “Surely...

I'm saying that this question makes no sense given the topic of discussion. Replace "reasoning" with something else and maybe the point will be more clear. Say, riding a bicycle, for example. Some people are better at it than others. You seem to be suggesting that we are born with one leg 20...
