Because the definition of the word truth simply forbids it. What you are describing is opinion. Just because there is a paucity of evidence to refute an sincerely held opinion, that does not automatically elevate a notion to truth. For the intellectually lazy or uncaring, any opinion will...

Those of us who study it have come to the same conclusion as aspen.

Sorry, that is an impossibility. There is only one truth, by definition of the term truth. There can be debates between two opinions, between opinion and truth, but never between to opposite truths. That is Averroism, condemned by the church in 1277, and was also opposed by Aquinas. Some...

Because He chooses to be faithful. He remained faithful to Israel though He specifically chastized them for being an "unfaithful spouse". He loved Israel because He made a promise to Abram. No, God is not a doormat, it is we.

Christian Identity says the white, aryan race are the true lost tribes of Israel. Consequently they gather quite a following from Stormfront websites as well.

John 10:28-29, now let's add 2 Cor. 1:21-22 There is not even the slightest hint anywhere in Scripture that the Holy Spirit can be unsealed and the guarantee voided, by God or anyone else. We are either forever saved or we were never saved.

Character matters. If he recanted his former teaching then I owe him an apology. But I don't think a little pink blob like me matters to him anyways...

Visser defrocked for preaching drug use in 2005. http://www.vnnforum....ead.php?t=60014

asp, I have your posts blocked but today I am reading everyone's and I find your interesting. I was given a 3% chance to live 2 years ago, yet here I am. My wife is still dealing with the trauma that revelation caused and now every time I get the sniffles she files into a panic attack. All of...

Yeah, I noticed. But I also noticed that me + God makes a majority, even in statistics. If was going to be her time to go then it would have been her time, same with the boy, maybe both. You're scenario isn't one that attempts to cheat death, it's an argument to cheat life.

It's either Amway or porn ;)

Been there done that, turns out both survived. Not so epic after all.

Is not eating and drinking covered by doctrine? They are reserved for those whose doctrine is still milk rather than meat. Christianity is not a brand seared into our flesh at conversion. It is a process where we put off the old and put on the new. But soon the new that was put on becomes...

They are indeed, but it is only a one way street. The weaker brother will take offense and sometimes lash back. As the stronger we already know this (because we were already there at one time) and we can take a more relaxed and understanding tact, even while being accused of this slight or...

The above is merely a common example of crass skepticism... being a skeptic for the sake of being skeptical. It has no more place in critical thinking than does crass hedonism.

Here, mister! You dropped this. Do you want it back? Losing salvation... if you "lost" it that means you never really had it to begin with. You might have played with it as a dog with a toy, but you never REALLY possesed salvation.

It is interesting that the men of old fell down and offered worship to a mere angel when they were encountered, but the Son of Man wasn't worshipped when met; He was crucified.

Notice how that verse leaves out the teenage years and 20s and 30s. IF we survive those time we usually repent of our folly and realize our parents wheren't the idiots society and we made them out to be in our minds.

Is that Satan's fault or ours that we are so easily swayed by the idle chat of mere men? Too quick are most to ascribe to Satan what quite easily falls neatly in the lap of our humanity; pride, laziness, arrogance, and sloth.
