There we have it. I knew you would eventually just come out and say it. I applaud your honesty. For liberals like yourself, who have one foot in the world and one in some form of "Christian" spirituality, Scripture means what ever you want it to mean and therefore it means nothing at all. I'll...

Are you serious? Your grasping at straws, but in any case, I'll grant your request. John D. Morris, Ph.D This is asinine to it's core. Calvin wasn't mentioned and Calvin has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. Enough said. Since when does the inspiration of Scripture depend on the...

Nice try, but I was clearly talking about Rev. 22:12 & 13. This is Christ speaking. Rev 22:12 "Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done. Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." One...

That's quite an arrogant statement. You speak like an unbeliever and then complain when your "Christianity" is questioned. There are many credentialed believing scientists out there who would disagree vehemently that there is absolutely no scientific explanation for a literal global flood. There...

That's an assumption without a shred of evidence. Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten. Ecc 9:6 Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more...

The following verse would indicate that passing on is to be immediately present with the Lord. 2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

This assumes that there were no catastrophic plate tectonics involved in at least part of the flood's mechanism. It assumes that the ocean's basins were exactly the same as they are today. That cannot be assumed based on the flood account found in Genesis. Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year...

No, Jesus and the Father are different, but both are God. What exactly do you think is an issue here? I see no problem with this verse. You need to elaborate on this question. What you're asking isn't clear. I don't recall this verse coming up anywhere in this thread. Again, I don't know what...

You argue against what you clearly don't understand. What you're seeing in Daniel is the Son in his role as Christ or Messiah. This role in redemptive history required him to lay aside his equality with the Father, making himself nothing, and taking on the form of an obedient servant. His...

No, I haven't forgotten. Let's try this again.

Anyone with average reading comprehension can see that you're dead wrong. Rom 3:9 What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, Rom 3:10 as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; Rom 3:11 no one...

I've already gone back and forth with you more than once on every Scripture reference presented and you continue to twist them all. The last one was probably the worst of all. For example you made the following comment regarding Rom. 3:11: It's completely irrelevant to my argument who Paul is...

I'll tell you what really ruins a pizza. Anchovies. :wacko:

More proof of election... As we've seen in the many Scripture passages I've presented in previous posts, unregenerate man is incapable of making the first move toward God. Therefore, God must even initiate the unregenerate man's faith and repentance. Faith is granted by God: Phi 1:29 because...

Wrong. Paul's message is that Jews and Gentiles are all under sin. He then proceeds to utter the words of verses 10 & 11 as proof of that present reality. I certainly did. Rom 3:11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. Therefore, God must initiate salvation. This is exactly what we see...

Your view of God's foreknowledge is contradicted by what Scripture clearly says about man's inability to seek God. Rom 3:10 as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; Rom 3:11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. If God actually looked down the corridor of time as Arminians...

It is true that salvation through Israel would come to every tribe, tongue, and nation eventually, but those who deny sovereign election are forgetting something painfully obvious about the Old Testament world. From Adam to Christ God was pleased to pass by most of the world, allowing them all...

Allusions to Scripture passages ripped out of context lend no support to your protest. 2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. This verse was not written to...

No you're not missing anything. We're saved by grace through faith in Christ just as Paul tells us in Ephesians. The topic of sovereign election looks at how one comes to faith in Christ.

Mushrooms and black olives for me. I almost never get those toppings though. My wife and son despise both. I usually have to settle for sausage and bacon.
