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.

Every source you will ever find that suggests this is based on Strong's definition which reads as follows... nâcham, naw-kham'; a primitive root; properly, to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly; by implication, to be sorry, i.e. (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or...

Simple confirmation bias.

It's cool that I read your post this morning. I just got through listening to a bible study of Bob's on the second coming of Christ in his series on "What We Believe and Why We Believe It" this morning. Not half and hour ago. He made this exact point about how the Matthew passage that so many...

At best you're speaking out of ignorance. Bob Enyart so rigorously went through all of the available biblical material on a given subject that it was a veritable wonder to behold. I never knew is was even possible to nail down a doctrine with so much biblical weight until I found Bob Enyart's...

Schizophrenic to boot!

In case anyone is paying any attention at all the chrysostom's nonsense. This doctrine of his undermines the veracity of the scripture to such a degree that it would probably get him kicked out of the Catholic church if anyone important discovered that he was here promulgating something as...
