Well John, I will say one thing for you: you don't disappoint. I expected you not to be able to deal with the Scripture and to resort to cheap shots, et voila! My posts are still up there for serious Bible students to comment on. :)

Well Calvin certainly got this bit right. 400 plus years after he died, people are still persecuting him.:rolleyes:

I explained this in my earlier posts. If it is a teaching that has, or has had, support from a reasonable section of the Christian Church, it;s a doctrine. If it's something that has sprung out of your head, or that you have dreamed up on your own (c.f. Jeremiah 31:28) then it's a theory...

Not anyone, just you. Others are openly abusive, but you just do snide.

Not snide at all.

Not snide at all.

Luke 10:25-26. 'And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" He said to him, "What is written in the law? How do you read it?"' Acts of the Apostles 16:30-31.'And he brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be...

You really are the king of snide, aren't you? You actually run a mile if someone offers you Scripture. I don't believe you have ever replied to my post #380. But never mind; being snide is much more fun than theology, and much easier.

Ever seen a monkey playing with a watch?

1 John 1:8-9. 'If we say that we have [present tense] no sin, we deceive [present tense] ourselves and the truth is [present tense] not in us. If we confess [present tense] our sins, He is [present tense] faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' The...

Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea; A great High Priest, whose Name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me. My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart; I know that while with God He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart; No tongue can bid...

Romans 3:9-20 must be missing from his Bible then. :eek:

Here are some pics of Dartmoor: And here are some from just near my home:

I think he's just yanking your chain, having a little laugh at our expense. Nobody's theology could be that bad!

He was. I seem to recall that he was eaten by a crocodile or something. That hasn't happened to me yet.

Thanks for replying, and I will certainly respond in turn, but you may be waiting a little while for it (I assume you are looking for a longer answer than "one God, three Persons"). I am attending a conference tomorrow, preaching on Sunday and looking after my little grandson most of next week...

First of all, I did not define perichoresis. Had I done so it would have been somewhat longer. The best thing to do is to look it up in a Systematic Theology. But do you deny that there is union and distinction between the Persons of the Trinity? You have copied your definition of allos out...

This is what I wrote: The Lord Jesus tells us that He and His father mutually indwell each other (John 14:11; c.f. also John 10:38; 14:10, 20). The technical term for this is perichoresis. This implies both union and distinction between Father and Son. It was not supposed to be a definition...

[continuation] We should now consider the various references to the Lord Jesus drinking a cup. In Mark 10:38, He asks James and John, “Are you able to drink the cup that I drink and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?” Then in Gethsamene, ‘deeply distressed and troubled’ Mark...

I do not think it right to make Mark 15:34 say the opposite of what it so plainly does. In the early Church, the reality that there is one God in three Persons (not ‘members’) was safeguarded by speaking of a single divine ‘substance’ shared by Father, Son and Spirit. This substance is simply...
