First off, the Clint Eastwood avatar is a connection to another member. Its not about clint... Its about being a cowboy. Long story.... It has to do with a dream another member had. But I have stood up to be counted by what I said. Clint in his Spaghetti westerns never revealed his name or...

To even suggest that I am scared of this topic is very presumptuous. I have been an active participant, answering your questions and giving my insight, including my final statement on the topic. We have been having an honest conversation about it, and if you somehow feel it was dishonest...

I refer to my statement in post #131. In that statement I never said or insinuated that being not being good is advantageous. Except for the problem of pride I never said there was a problem with being good, and I never discussed taboos. Again, I say I am no longer interested in this...

I am no longer interested in this conversation. I thought it was serious, but it doesn't seem that it is.

[And you are going to go on a crash course of reading to try to quickly educate yourself on what he said, but its not going to work. I spent 3 years studying what he said and I know the difference between a true student and a wikipedia student! The better option is to just... Ask me]

Well Calvin said it back in the 1600's... But if you think you started using it first, yeah sure... Ok. Oh, so you have read his works! What books of his have you read? He wrote many and I have read some of them. Lets compare notes! What books of his have you read? [You are being set up...

It is not your phrase even though you may claim it. And it does not accurately describe the teaching of John Calvin, nor of God. Though it may accurately describe the false teachings of many. John Calvin was not a Calvinist. He was not OSAS. Aside from that, I stand with what I say. I...

I am going to reissue my position statement on this topic. It may be a bit different than something I said originally, which should be ok... Its growth! In the NT and gospels especially we receive instruction on morals. It is good and proper to be a good member of society and overall turn...

Love the routine! I remember it! Didn't he also say that perhaps the film crew who were documenting it could've cut someone a break and given them a sandwich? In all seriousness, yeah, they should leave. But it ain't that easy. I can appreciate the humor, and I was talking about a "poor"...

iagree.i thought I would be replying on Wednesday and didn't... So I am a bit at a loss to the reasonimg as it isn't fresh in my mind. Titus 1 and its companion verses (Col 2:20-22) are Speaking of JEWISH. commandments of men and fables. These were not the type of things that were saying its...

Desire Of All Nations: I am happy you posted this. I made two posts and said I would follow with a third, but didn't because no one responded to my first to... Figure there was no interest. But my third post was going to focus on this point. Luke 23:56 doesn't say the purchased the spices...

Sheesh, I don't know! I may hold back on investing a bit, but I am still going to set an allotment of money each week anyway, just to be ready.

I am retiring from the conversation for the evening... May not be able to respond until Wednesday. Until then... Peace

Grailhunter, you have asked me and others this question several times. We have had a wonderful and respectful conversation and I have enjoyed it. So I hope you are not put off by this question: Ate you really that naive? Its not a Biblical saying, but there is a saying that says never judge a...

No, he doesn't have to take both nor does he chose to. 1 Corinthians 15:50 KJV Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Samuel 16:7 KJV But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the...

Well if you want me to do a word search, I've narrowed it down to two verses. And like I said, they mean exactly the opposite of what you are saying. What difference does that make? He confessed what he did and while we may have different circumstances and may be in a different boat, we are...

We are in the flesh, but we have the mind of Christ. We sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. And while we are in the flesh, we are not in the flesh (see Romans 8 in which Paul was writing to men in the flesh and telling them they were not). Yes, its confusing, but we are both a spiritual...

I would be interested in knowing what verse that Paul wrote that you are referring to. I have my suspicions, and if you look deeper he was saying just the opposite of what you are implying. However, I can't be sure until I know what verse you are speaking of. Since you brought up Paul and...

While it is your topic and reserve the right to point which way it is intended to go, I disagree. Grace is the only way we will look "good" in the eyes of God, and his opinion ultimately is the only one that matters. Furthermore, I am surprised tou didn't enjoy my comments when the whole...

we can't make that suit white, nor can we keep it clean. Jesus does that.
