You are NOT God. Quit trying to pretend you sit on His throne.

I'm sorry, but your ego here is immense and downright sinful. Amazingly so actually. You don't belong in God's throne, rather on the floor groveling like every other sinner.

And hence Dave declares that his opinion is God's. Just wow.

Aka, mans' ability to pass Dave's theology test, because if you don't agree with Dave, you're not saved.

I am being completely ignored by somebody who seemingly thinks salvation is earned by a person being able to properly explain consubstantiality...

Again: It is not required for a child of God to be able to correctly rattle off a bunch of academic facts about their Father. Academic knowledge is not what defines a parent-child relationship, and frankly most of the time kids don't remotely academically understand their parents. Rather a...

Nonsense. No kid reads the story about Christ's baptism and then instantly rambles off about consubstantiality. Dave, please acknowledge that salvation is not about *man's* ability to pass theology test.

Which does NOT mean they will fully understand it then. Scripture illustrates that over and over again. Dave, understanding is an *eventual* fruit of the Spirit. It is not prequieste to salvation. Please acknowledge this rather than trying to make salvation about *man's* ability to pass...

Know eventually. Not necessarily during this life, and such has no baring on their salvation.

And none of that says we are saved by passing theology test.

Again, a person is not saved by passing a theology test.

DaveL has an issue with every person that doesn't believe exactly as he does. So for what it's worth, it's not a grudge personally against you. We are not saved by our ability to pass a theology test, including the sub-section "please describe to me the nature of God". Don't let those type of...

Ways in which you could be misunderstood by others: - Somebody thinks you are saying a person has a license to sin - That you are being flippant about how serious Christ's words "come follow me" are. - Etc Ways in which you could be misunderstanding others: - That not everyone believes in OSAS...

Again, you got to take the time understand the point a person is actually trying to make.

Hence why it is important to look at the content and listen what is a person's actual point is, rather than a ~5 word title.

I think it's critically important to explain what we mean when we're talking. Looking at the other thread, it was essentially decrying the idea that saying "I accept Christ as my Savior" gives that person a license to sin- to do whatever ungodly thing they want just on a whim. Frankly, I don't...

When you literally say you don't care about what an individual thinks/believes, it's pretty dang obvious. Learning to care about the individual will enable you to be a witness of God's words, rather than a clanging cymbal.

You are a sinner in need of repentance. Abide by scripture: learn charity & care for the individual. Red harring.

You're completely skipping the point here Mary: you have ZERO charity. Hence, you are in violation of Paul's words, and serving only as clanging cymbal. Until you actually start carrying about the individual, you will remain so.
