No, we need only conclude that you are not "listening", but only "waiting to speak". [There is a difference.] That being the case, until you decide to address the actual points raised and scripture presented in post #1,474, this conversation between us is on indefinite [PAUSE].

:Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud::Laughingoutloud: :Ohpleze: You mean except for post: #1,474 (where I refute your nonsense with 3 different parts of scripture presented in CONTEXT rather than just quote mined for "proof text sound bites") However, do not let me stand in your way: Post that...

Yes it is, but scripture clarifies "made without human hands": Colossians 2:11-15 [NKJV] 11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 buried with Him in baptism, in which you...

Exactly what you think it means (and disagree with) ... NO BAPTISMAL REGENERATION!

Then God walks where Rita walks … which mattered more to the Creator of the Universe … How cool is THAT! :cool:

Depending on how LITERAL Revelation is, we all may. ;) In any event, you WILL walk where Jesus walks … it is just a matter of time.

”reinforced” means the cliff is man-made with reinforced concrete or something buried into it to hold it together. It looks natural on the outside but is more like a Dam on the inside. Any Storm Damage would just be repaired. (I’m a Registered Architect that works in Commercial Civil...

What verse are you speaking of? Jerome translated the Greek and Hebrew into Latin for the Vulgate bible. If you mean John 3:5, then here it is in several translations: [John 3:5 NKJV] Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter...

Respectfully, I disagree. We are “born from above” by ”water and the spirit” and per John 3, this is a work of the Holy Spirit. That makes “water” an ORDINANCE (something commanded for obedience - a symbolic remembrance) rather than a SACRAMENT (an action that conveys supernatural power). A...

That is a great quote. :vgood:

I don't require ANYONE to hold to my beliefs (except the core Gospel stuff, like Jesus is God ... start with the Jehovah's Witness denying the Trinity and I become less polite because then, you are not a "brother"). [Romans 10:9-10] I like to follow the motto of the Moravian Church: "In...

Tread carefully around me ... I am one of those MEAN CALVINISTS :) (and a Credobaptist to boot!!) So my Doctrines of Grace or rejection of covenants tend to piss off everyone sooner or later. ;) I am learning not to take it personal. God just has a sense of humor. Romans 14:1-6 [CSB]...

Since my questions appear to have been too hard to follow, let me break it down for you ... Is it an imperative that Christians stop sinning (living a life characterized by sin, in the flesh)? [YES] Is it required for the unsaved to stop sinning (living a life characterized by sin, in the...

Ahh, what the heck. I have a bizarre personal story about WATER BAPTISM (mine) that bridges Paedobaptism, Credobaptism, Baptismal Regeneration, and Water vs Spirit Baptism. So here goes: It begins with a fight between Catholic Maternal Grandparents that are DETERMINED that their grandchild...

He did not say that it is not required. He said it is not a REQUISITE for salvation. Is it required that you stop sinning in order for God to save you? Does that mean that people who are saved should continue sinning? [Why or why not to the above.] Now apply that same thinking to "get...

read: now, answer your own question about what @Johann believes.

The problem in America isn't so much what people don't know; the problem is what people think they know that just ain't so. - Will Rogers

I prefer Romans 10:9-10 as a starting point for salvation: Romans 10:9-10 [CSB] If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the...

Most people misstate the beliefs of others, especially the beliefs of the opponents to their position. It is generally better to simply present an "affirmative argument" [ie. state what YOU BELIEVE to be truth] and allow anyone that disagrees to attempt to prove your argument wrong. By...

I less hate the eschatology, than I hate: the endless and pointless bickering over it. the walls of text "explaining" in detail what amounts to complete speculation and scripture-mining when you scratch the surface. the ARROGANCE of the spirits that claim DEFINITIVE knowledge of visions that...
