Ever read "Adversus Judaeos," by chance? :

Ah, we're getting to the point now, aren't we? :

Simple answer— Nazi Germany kept extraordinarily meticulous records (documents, film) of their crimes and expanded their system so widely, geographically, that they were conquered by defenders from afar (including even the USSR) and the voluminous behemoth of their records were discovered and...

Just spend more time beholding it. strs

No one is forbidding anyone to do anything. There's nothing for demons or tares to enjoy here. :

Some folks have larger, more nuanced concerns that can't be reduced to an all-or-nothing logical fallacy. Love sometimes compels people to do/be the best they can for Jesus rather than keep their eyes open for loopholes to justify their carnal desires. :

Tell that to the hundreds of millions of poor people of the world who have little or no access to animal food products nor supplemental Vitamin E and B12. They get it naturally—which largely Caucasian Americans can do more easily since they can get E more efficiently from sunlight and can afford...

It's really only optional relative to a believer's viewpoint and experience. The main principles involved are the ethical treatment of animals, glorifying God in our bodies, and the duty to God as stewards of the human machinery—which is tied to the sanctity and preservation of human life...

Why would she do that? :)

You really have no sense of self-awareness at all, do you? :

I've seen it. I've also noticed that the word translated "meat" is actually a Greek word that means "food," or "certain food"—not animal flesh. So what Paul is actually condemning is the religious coercion or enforcement of meaningless abstinence from food, or certain types of food. :

That's shocking! strs

By the way, I love your lectures! strs

Right after he gets the governor of W. Virginia reduced to half his weight on The Carnivore Diet. Bring Back MickeyD's Fries Cooked In Beef Tallow! (I actually love Bobby but he's kinda nuts.) strs

You kids and your fancy Proverbs 18:13s. :rolleyes: strs

Hard to believe you didn't detect any nuanced themes of assurance from it. Well, hardly hard, anyway. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that 1 John 4 is not one of your favorite chapters in the Bible—especially verse 8? Heaven might be a really uncomfortable place for folks who...

Right Wouldn't want an epidemic of edification to break out. :

Oddly OSAS—that's good, that is. Odd, I guess because it seems like a surprisingly and refreshingly balanced take on the biblical doctrine of assurance. You really do have some of the most thoughtful threads. That's going to get you in a lot of trouble, you know. I just can't seem to avoid...

Hey, I'm right and you're wrong—that's all you need to know. :p strs

The only thing I can think of that would be worse is an "OSAS" cult in Satan's Wheel House! If there's a better way to say "I'm right so you must be wrong," I certainly can't imagine it (but I'll bet somebody already has). Sorry; I'll stop now. :)
