Because you're saying things about scripture that are false. I don't just state that they are false though, I make the argument. Theology isn't about personal opinions. At least that's true the vast majority of the time. Most Christian have no concept at all of building their doctrine, whether...

Well, it is those who have sinned who are spiritually dead, right? Christ's atonement is the cure for a preexisting condition not the catalyst for creating one. That is, perhaps, a semantic point, depending on what your intent was, but it's a point worth making nonetheless.

If you fail to rightly divide, you'll be looking for fulfilled prophecies where they definitely do not exist. You are a text book example of exact that. It is NOT POSSIBLE for a syllable of John's prophecies to have been fulfilled - period.

The Psalmist wasn't being literal. It's hyperbole, which is how I took your comment, by the way. There is no such thing as a baby born evil, as in a screeching newborn baby who already hates God before he's ever suckled from his mother's breast.

The topic of the thread was my entire point! I wasn't changing the subject! Whether one is discussing eschatology or soteriology or any other aspect of doctrine, the issue can only be rightly discussed dispensationally. That's why I said what I said. The errors that compound one upon another...

Which AI gave you that response? Here's what I got when I asked GPT 5.1 Explain ἀνάθεμα” (anathema) as used by Paul in Galatians. BTW: I have it set up to give me a short answer first because it tends to over answer things.

I don't get it. I mean, I really just do not understand that kind of broken minded lunacy. How does a mind that is that dysfunctional keep a person's heart beating and lungs pumping?

"weasel his way out" That's exactly the perfect phrase for what he's doing. He doesn't care whether his doctrine is true or not. He doesn't even care whether it makes any sense. He just believes it and that's that.

Blindness. I don't care what "most people" do or don't do. "Most people" can be wrong. You have two and only two choices. 1. Paul's ministry and gospel was unique and received by direct divine revelation from the risen Jesus Christ. or... 2. Paul was a heretic and his letters aught not ever...

Only what Paul wrote applies directly to the Body of Christ. That does not mean the rest of the Bible has no purpose. It simply means the audience must be respected. You already do this without thinking. When you read Deuteronomy, you do not take what you've read as cause to avoid pepperoni...

It was imperfect, as every era is, yet it was also far freer and far more just than what we tolerate today. The result was the single greatest expansion of personal liberty, economic prosperity, lifespan, innovation, and overall human flourishing that the world had ever witnessed. The modern...

When we use the word “Jew” in this context, it is shorthand for the believing remnant of Israel, the people to whom Peter, James, John, and Jude ministered (see Galatians 2:9). Every believer before Paul’s ministry belonged to that group. Some were Jews by birth, others were proselytes who had...

The errors that compound because one fails to rightly divide the Word of Truth (2 Timothy 2:15) are astounding! People waste their whole lives running down the wrong road, chasing the wrong White Rabbit.

It's more fundamental than that. Our decline runs deeper than a single generation forgetting what is right. The more urban our society has become, the more it has drifted from the moral structure that once held it together. Families who lived on farms were woven into an economic and relational...

It isn't the core idea and it isn't translated that way at all anywhere in the whole of ancient (or modern) Hebrew- biblical or otherwise. (Nacham (נָחַם) appears almost exclusively in biblical or biblically-influenced Hebrew. It is virtually never used in non-biblical, non-religious Hebrew...

Things ebb and flow. Things are much better now than they were even three years ago. Perhaps they'll continue to improve for some time or maybe we'll lurch back toward near total depravity.

I can't see how that could possibly be debated. It's completely obvious. Incidentally, it is also not stoppable. Barring divine intervention, western civilization will succumb to pressures both from within and without. The low birth rate alone makes the society unsustainable, never mind our...

They've abandoned the spiritual/moral foundation upon which our civil society was built. History teaches us that it is not the society that reflects it's laws but the laws that reflect the society. The singular exception is when God gave human government (i.e. law) to mankind after the flood...

In principle, perhaps, but in actual practice, it wouldn't work out that way. If the government actually punished criminals the way it should, there'd be no such thing as nine year old rapists/murderers/sociopaths. It just wouldn't ever happen.
