I am as patient as Moses with those who respond with substance. You, however, have turned yourself into a clown that wastes everyone's time with stupidity.

Do you understand the concept of making a distinction without a difference? It's the exact same person, Doug! He's got a new physical body and a new name but that doesn't make it a different person. It's the same person! That's only one of the most central doctrines of the Christian faith!

Okay, I ran out of time the other day and so have been spending the last few hours catching up and so wanted to spend some time responding to the use of John 6 as a proof text for predestination, which it definitely DOES NOT teach! So, first of all, verses 37-40 is Jesus claiming to be God...

Didn't and won't read another syllable. Every time I give you another change, this is the sort of stupidity that you waste my time with. Good bye glorydaz!

Your sentiments here is common and understandable and wrong. Not entirely though. I get the feeling that much of the disagreement here is as much semantic as it is substantive. In other words, we may well be saying close to the same thing just in different ways. Try as you might, the degree to...

You don't get it. It isn't us that believe that God predestines babies to go to Hell, it's Calvinists! It is your own doctrine that you're arguing against, not ours! Calvinism DOES NOT teach that babies are innocent! It teaches that they are all born in sin and totally depraved! Calvinism...

You can believe in the tooth fairy if that's what you want to believe. It doesn't make it true. Of course the prophets had a huge impact on what people believed but that doesn't mean that anyone was expecting a suffering Messiah. They simply were not and, even if some few may have been, the...

Define "submission" and "His will". Faith is NOT about what you do, it is about what you believe. Any other teaching amounts to law rather than grace and mixes that which was intended for Israel with that which pertains to the Body of Christ. The result is almost always one form or another of...

It isn't my demand and I didn't define justice. God Himself states explicitly that grace is offered to all and the only reason you think otherwise is because you need for some reason to insist that God is immutable and that doctrine has certain ancillary doctrines that in turn force you to...

Which is exactly the point we've all been making!

I don't think so. I think its usually beef and things like chicken soup and salads and of course, plenty of wine.

What I just said is what Jesus meant. Christ's death and resurrection is what made salvation possible for everyone, including Abraham but Abraham was not aware of that being God's plan. Abraham believed God when God told him that he would have a son and that belief was credited to him as...

I can't imagine that the marriage feast of the Lamb will be vegetarian in nature. It seems natural to assume that it will be similar to traditional Jewish wedding feasts.

Nothing a Catholic does amazes me anymore. They are completely irrational. They believe what they want to believe and nothing else and for no reason other than that's what they want to believe. No evidence nor any argument can move them a single inch from whatever dogma they've chosen for...

No one "looked forward" to the death burial and resurrection of Christ for their salvation. That future event was what made their salvation possible but they didn't know that. Not even the apostles believed it prior to it actually happening and even then they didn't believe it until they saw the...

There are tons of examples I could have listed, the above being only one of dozens.

Wrong! The concept of blood sacrifice came a long long time before the Law (capital L - referring to the Law of Moses). It is justice that requires death for sin. The Law is just but the point is that justice existed way before the Law existed and both the Law and the sacrifice made at Calvary...

You're as blind as a bat. That isn't at all what you said. In less than three decades your idiot Popes have taken the death penalty from a legitimate punishment for capital crimes to it's complete abolition! The later of which specifically cites the fact that we are created in God's image as the...

This is true but it has not always been that which much be believed in. Jesus didn't preach His death and resurrection as the gospel and when He did bring up the fact that He would be killed, the Apostles didn't believe Him and so we know that they weren't preaching it either. Also, none of the...

That is a distinction without a difference. Christ is the sacrifice. No. Faith is believing that God (Jesus) died the death that you deserve and that God raised Him from the dead. I have listened to him many times. He is (was) an Acts 2 dispensationalist. I am a Mid-Acts Dispensationalist...
