ScottAU, please don't send me any more long posts like the one above. I don't like to get bogged down in long drawn out discussions on one post. If you have multiple issues you want to address, please make them separate posts. When I said I think you are imagining a sinless purity that may not...

Why are you so obsessed with prophecy? Focus on your spiritual well being.

That may be how you treat strangers in your country, but that depiction in that movie is Hollywood myth, just like your expositions of scripture. It is really funny to see you spend so much time writing so many stupid words.

WWJD? He would ignore you or rebuke you because you justify yourself. He only helped the humble and those who had believing hearts. You have the head knowledge, but not the heart knowledge. No one's condemning you for what you are, or even what you choose to do, but rather for your trying to...

ScottAU, Three questions: Can a person have confidence (i.e., be sure) now that he/she will be forgiven by GOD if at sometime in the future he/she commits a sin, and then repents? If the answer to # 1 is yes, what is that confidence based on? If no, why is there no confidence? How does the...

Homosexuality was not a problem in Ezekiel's culture (if it even existed), so there was no need to address it. However, the sins he did address in 16:49 were a big problem. And FYI, the Hebrew in that verse doesn't say that pride, abundance of food and idleness, and refusal to help the poor and...

You're not impressed at all; you're sarcastic... and spiritually blind. You have no idea what the good news (gospel) is, so how can you be of any benefit to Christianity's redirection into its proper course? You can't. You have no power to make things right because you are not of the truth, you...

Actually, he does. Very good ones. In reality, I think he is only using this topic as a pretext to try to gain leverage in his pro-homo arguments. He's not interested in the truth. When the truth is spoken to him he calls it ambiguous and turns away. IMO, he's simply looking for ways to...

What do you mean 'we' kemosabe?

I look at 1 John 3:9 a little differently. To me it says that those truly begotten of GOD are not doing sin because GOD's seed in them makes them unable to continue sinning because the spirit will convict them and cause them to turn away from sin.

Don't know. Didn't watch it. Just noticed that it was gone, so I'm assuming they deleted it.

Bad boy. I think the mods deleted that.

The individual who made those vile comments is holdingfirmlytotheend. Glad that's cleared up. Those who continue in sin should be put out of the church. My comment about self-righteousness was directed at Hermas, not Mike. Anyone who makes a statement like that has some serious issues...

Oh yeah! Check it out. Christian rap. Sure sounds like C-rap to me.

I still need time to look at ScottAU's comments and respond... Meanwhile I have been looking at Mike Desario's web stuff and want to make a report (as I learn). He strongly advocates repentance (which is good); and from what I can tell at this point he bases his views to a large degree on the...

So no disclosure on where you got the teaching that only 7000 Israelites inherit the kingdom? Book? Teacher?

I really don't know. I have to assume from the parable in Luke 19:12 that it will have something to do with authority. Other than that, I'm clueless.

ScottAU, I think you are imagining an obedience and purity in your life that doesn't really exist. Anyone who sins, whether they believe what you believe or not, will be forgiven if they repent. I will follow up on this when I have time. btw, who is the individual in the holdingfirmly video?

If your whole argument is based on the premise that 'In their mind forgiveness is granted on the basis of the "forensic legal exchange" and not on the basis of "repentance and faith whereby one accesses the cleansing of the blood"' then I have to say that this is just a distinction without a...

Everything I mentioned is in the bible. Dispute one thing. The blood cleanses because it is the eternal evidence that the penalty has been paid.
