Notice Paul cursed them, there is a difference between him being willing to curse them and telling you to curse them. You have no specific instruction to curse them. "Let him be accursed" does not equal "Curse everyone who disagrees with your version of events". I want to tell you something. I...

Simple question? Yes. Simple answer? Yikes.

River, I find this interesting. What is the purpose? In every other facet over 18 is considered adult. Why separate 18-29 from "adults" like they aren't adults? So are we supposed to take it that adult is now over 29? That is awesome! I agree! With the state our society is in...I have not run...

Let me be a little more forthcoming with you since you seem to miss some things easily. I am not posting on this thread for your benefit. You are showing yourself for who you are without my help. I am posting for all those who come after and read this thread, they need to hear an opposing...

I have to disagree. Judging has overtones of having or taking authority everywhere it is mentioned in the Bible. We do not have any authority over God. We do have to discern whether or not God is a liar when confronted with His truths and that is how we convert. I think we really agree, it is...

Steve, I am certainly filth and even so much less than that so we are in agreement about that. See how easy this can be to agree? So I have already demonstrated for you (from my perspective) that water baptism for the remission of sins was instituted before Christ's sacrifice...even His...

There is a very important distinction between discern and judge. This is why people so often get the idea of Matthew 7 wrong, in my opinion. Judge=discern and then have the authority (or try to take authority) to hand out punishment. Just like a Judge. Discern=discern without trying to take...

It dawned on me as I was reading forrest's post that what I posted could be misconstrued as me being a bigot or something. My post was merely to point out "diversity for diversity sake" and what exactly do they think I can do to "make" my community one? There are 5 houses within a 2 mile radius...

I am a false christian? Oh no! Sorry, you aren't the first person to tell me this...not even today. (Actually it is the first response one gets from someone who disagrees with them as a Christian) I will show you how to have a conversation, disagree, and never call your salvation into question...

Does God contradict Himself? Does God make the very plain statement in Mark and Luke that it was for the remission of sins and was preached that way?

If this is true, don't you have a serious problem with Mark 1:4 and Luke 3:3 and Matthew 3:1-2? seems to me that water baptism was preached by John for the remission of sin from the word go. Why do you suppose God actually took the time to point out that Jesus didn't baptize anyone? SL

Mr. Steve Winter, May I ask you a question? (I will assume for now that your answer will be yes) Why didn't Jesus ever baptize anyone with water? I know my answer to this question, but I think yours may be more interesting. SL

KingJ, May I suggest a word change for you in what I believe you are saying? I think you are trying to use the word discern and keep using the word judge. I believe DP will agree with you more readily if you change that single word to what I think you are really trying to get across. Or...

We were driving down the road a couple of years ago and a government sponsored commercial was on the radio about multicultural communities and "making your community" one. My daughter, who was about 10 at the time, looked up at me and asked "What do they want us to do daddy? Plant some Chinese...

I think I am in complete agreement with this statement. I have continued to think on the question and can not come up with an answer, although I basically believe it is doubtful (probably based on my other views of drinking though). We will be held accountable for everything we espouse, every...

I would fight beside you arm in arm if someone said you could not do it (drink) as a way to keep or earn salvation. My argument is not based in what we can or can not do. I said in my very first post on this issue...I do not have bible to say to absolutely not do it. So since I do not have...

Thank you. Finally. One of you is honest enough to admit that even one drink has an effect on you. One drink would mellow me? How do you know that? I know a guy that one drink sends him into a fight a minute mode. How do you know that wouldn't be me? None of you knew me before I came to Christ...

This thread has gotten out of control. Nothead, All you have done is bring confusion. That speaks for itself. I am not as proficient in Greek as Wormwood is, but he is much closer to the plain sense\understanding of the words than you are. There is no hidden message in the Greek. You can...

Yes, desperate is my middle name. The thing is River, you can not be reached. My posts are not for you. They are to sway anyone who may be on the fence or undecided, especially those who will read this later. You are stuck in your mindset and there is nothing that could possibly change it, short...

Sigh.... Okay, so the last obvious question that needs to be asked. KingJ, what else have you agreed with River on about the bible except drinking alcohol? Wormwood? This question may or may not mean anything, but it is worth asking. SL
