Verses that b57 wishes weren't in the bible because they completely falsify his entire theology! Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the...

Why do you even bother calling yourself a Christian? John did not make up the book of Revelation. He reported what he saw and what he was told to report by angels and by the Creator Himself. That is either the case or John is a liar and not only should Revelation be removed but also the four...

Quite so! When one broke the law, there were other laws one would follow to get back on track and if you refused to comply with those laws, there was no getting back on track and even then only if the obedience was mixed with faith in God. Beyond that, any shortcomings that persisted were dealt...

This doesn't seem responsive to the point. Was obedience to the law required or not? I'm not talking about sinless perfection because no one denies, not even the Jews of the time, that perfection is impossible. You're surely not suggesting that because perfection was impossible that people...

No! You cannot be required to obey some of the law. (Galatians 5 & James 2) If you abstain from sexual immorality because there's a list of rules on the wall that tells you that you have to then you've got big problems, right? And, Paul gives his converts explicit permission to eat meat...

Question begging nonsense! Evolution cannot account for the existence of either dolphins, hippos or DNA and yet you attempt to use all three as evidence for it. Just the exact opposite of sound reason, never mind any sort science.

All you've established with this observation is that circumcision was not ALL that was required for salvation, that circumcision did not cause salvation. It does not establish that circumcision wasn't required at all. In other words, any Jew that refused circumcision would not have been saved...

True but yet all THROUGH Israel! Then how does that NOT undermine your entire thesis? Exactly, and so, unlike your inaccurate characterizations of what Dispensationalism teaches, the Body of Christ was not an after thought, nor was it a plan B. Because Israel was cut off! (Romans 11) Your...

True, but... I was always annoyed by the fact that Bob had to do things like put on fund raisers where he would offer to "donate" some secular scientific organization tens of thousands of dollars just to get one bone carbon dated, which wouldn't have cost the organization anything at all and...

It stinks that we have to rely so much on secular science to provide bits and pieces of evidence that we have to glean from their work to substantiate theories that are consistent with a biblical worldview. It seems like there ought to be a wealthy conservative, fundamentalists Christian that's...

I would have been able to tell and I would have pushed until the truth was revealed by your own lips. The implication that I have lied! Prove it, blackSand! Where have I said one single thing to you that is false? I did intend to put you on ignore but that wasn't a lie, I simply changed my mind...

This sort of post fascinates the heck out of me. It starts with a perfectly valid observation (as stated) but then undermines itself by ending with an example that is actually counter to the original point, or at least what should have been the original point. For any thinking person it is...

Am I good at this or what? I KNEW that this nut job wasn't a Christian based solely on him asking the following question in post #65.... "Is this the opinion of God, the prophets and Jesus too?" I was already suspicious of this quack anyway and then the way that question is worded was all I...

The "Mid-Acts" moniker applies mainly because of how one answers one single question. That question is, "When did the modern church age begin?" If you believe that the Body of Christ and Israel are two different bodies of believers with differing practices, rituals and requirements then it is...

So, I will take this post as proof that you literally have nothing but your claims to offer, that you really do expect us to accept your claims on the merit of your having shown up here to make them and that you haven't the faintest idea how to establish anything biblically, (if you even know...

Those orchids (yes plural) are clearly not naturally occurring and your rock formations only look vaguely like elephants from a specific angle and only because our brains are designed to recognize familiar shapes and faces (the whitish rock doesn't look to me like anything at all other than a...

If you can refute a syllable of it, I'd hear it gladly.

No!

Quite so! Therein lies another proof that blackSand is wrong that hadn't thought of until you posted this. It's summed up in one passage in Collosians... Collosians 2:13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having...

As a general rule, I'd say that this a healthy attitude to have but there are things that we can know as absolute facts. Well, not really. The things that the followers of Christ didn't understand had been intentionally hidden. They weren't supposed to have figured it out. If has been made...
