Aborting Hitler would not have prevented the Holocaust. It would have justified it. The killing of millions of innocents does not begin with the killing of one innocent. It begins with the idea that (in the larger scheme of things) it is permissible to kill one innocent.

We would never know since none of the history that has lead to us now would have ever happened. (null)

Experience is a poor measuring stick of theology. (null)

Again, you judge me on your opinions rather on facts, of which you've sought none from me or those who agree with me this entire time. Demonization, name calling, threats is all you are using to support your opinions... and the quarlsome quartet I have ignored call me a troll.

They aren't questioning me, they are threatening me, vicariously, with hellfire and judgment from God because I disagree with their heresy.

The line of thinking of the author is flawed on several fronts. One, it makes the rather absurd assumption that all Christians do not question their faith. But even more to the point, the author presupposes himself to the sole arbitor of what makes a question a "serious question" or a...

Everyone is in the middle. I am sure you have been quoted 1 John 1:18 (If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.) Godliness doesn't mean acheiving Godhood or Deity status. We are to be as God-like as possible in our decision making. That is why Christ...

Middle of what?

I have read it cover to cover now 4 times in the last 5 years and meditated and studied on countless passages and vingnettes. Yet when I go to service the pastor there never ceases to amaze me with a new insight or take on something I had just poured hours of thought and research into! Like...

Of course! However, we also can not live life watching our past (looking back and fretting over every sin and failure), lest we never see what is coming down the path right at as and we are caught again with difficult choices. Our past sin is paid for by the Blood of Christ, so all we need to...

Reduced to making vicarious threats? What Spiritual Gift is that?

Well, I will leave you with your feelings, emotions, and experience to vidicate scripture. I will allow scripture to vindicate or invalidate my feelings, emotions, and experience. The order in which we allow that to happen is very important.

So since I disagree I am obviously less knowledgable than you? That is the definition of arrogance (as I stated in another thread). That's two for two on your side... rather than educate you both have chosen arrogance. No one has convinced me more that I am correct than the two of you...

How do you know what I know? Do you simply assume I am less knowledgable than you that since I disagree with you? That is the definition of arrogance. Andy yes, Stoney, I am fearful. Fearful that those who have drunk the Pentecostal koolaid are in danger of deluding not only themselves but...

I am questioning those who believe they are acting in the Spirit of God when I sincerely believe they are acting upon a different spirit not of God. In either case, I am not in danger from the so called "unpardonable sin" since all my sins have been pardoned already. I can not possibly...

That's not even a sentence!

Rather than apologize for the faith you want the naysayer to simply be silent? heh heh heh... You claim to speak on behalf of the Lord and then claim those who want a purer form of worship as robbing God. Let me ask others watching the thread this: Look at Christ's life. Recorded are His...
