But it is okay when you do it? (You just announced your edict on all who hold dispensational views without ONE scrap of Scipture.) I guess we know what that makes you, Dave.

No--I mean that you take your quotes out of context and twist their meaning. Here is John Ankerberg video which might be edifying for you:

Being wary of Islam's influence in the west does not make one a racist. The last time I checked, Arabs and most other Muslims are of the Caucasian race.

Scripture is ALWAYS true, bbyrd. It is just that it doesn't always mean what you or I think it means.

Oh--you mean like what you do?

This particular denomination claims to be independent of any other group but they have some former Anglicans and RCs and Episcopalians among their "founders".

You do not know the man, yet you accuse him of racism? The fight is never over as long as we live, bbyrd. Why do you think Paul likened the Christian as putting on the "full armor of God" in Ephesians 6? You are quite ignorant of the Scriptures if you believe that God does not fight against...

So, you just announce that as your edict? You have been shown over and over that there is a huge amount of Scripture supporting a moderate dispensational view. You just can't accept the possibility that you could be wrong.

Read both passages. I'm not interested in defending the orthodox faith from your ridiculous (and atheistic) attacks, bbyrd. There are only a few superficial similarities between orthodox Christian items of faith and those of Mithraism (and those only because it was influenced by gnostic...

Your statement above is meaningless, Dave. If you are seeking anything other than a putdown of dispensationalists, it would be good if you would point to specific doctrines to which you object.

Yes--I looked up the "Charismatic Episcopal Church" and they are quite similar to RCs except that they are not under the Vatican. They believe in the hierarchy and the liturgy, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, etc.

I would have liked to see a presentation that was a bit longer. There are many aspects to the situation.

God calls all of us to different roles, bbyrd. Some of us are "lovers" and some of us are "fighters" (we are told in the Book of Jude to "contend [which means fight] for the faith"). But we all are striving to please God with our lives--for it is to Him which we must give account. If we knew...

Thanks for the apology for the harsh words, bbyrd--no offense taken. ;) Dubious or not, that is what the NLT translators believed gave the sense of the verse John 3:13. But, on further reflection, you may have something of a point. Some theologians believe that no other souls of humans had...

Which one are you? I know that "Stranger" is not a "son of Satan" as you have called him. I think that would qualify as "spewing hatred".

Are we not to hate what God hates? In judging another believer, you have put yourself in the place of God.

"You, then, why do you judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat. It is written: ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ So then, each of us will...

Yes, I know--but not many Christians do. I think the term "Universal Church" has a better reception among non-RCs because the RCC has arrogated the title of "Catholic" to itself. It is very easy to believe that the Vatican is specifically, the Whore of Babylon. First there is the Daniel 9:27...

We all seem to learn to harden our hearts away from the innocence of being a young child--I think it likely that Jesus said that we must come to God like a trusting child for that reason. We can become more and more hard and bitter as we travel through life and, eventually, the hardening...

The gospel of John pretty much tells us that Judas went to hell. Jesus, in His High Priestly prayer in John 17 calls Judas, "the son of destruction" and every time Judas' name is mentioned it is in a negative context. Peter betrayed Jesus, but he went to heaven--Judas betrayed Jesus and went...
