Tell that to the hundreds of millions of poor people of the world who have little or no access to animal food products nor supplemental Vitamin E and B12. They get it naturally—which largely Caucasian Americans can do more easily since they can get E more efficiently from sunlight and can afford...

It's really only optional relative to a believer's viewpoint and experience. The main principles involved are the ethical treatment of animals, glorifying God in our bodies, and the duty to God as stewards of the human machinery—which is tied to the sanctity and preservation of human life...

Why would she do that? :)

You really have no sense of self-awareness at all, do you? :

I've seen it. I've also noticed that the word translated "meat" is actually a Greek word that means "food," or "certain food"—not animal flesh. So what Paul is actually condemning is the religious coercion or enforcement of meaningless abstinence from food, or certain types of food. :

That's shocking! strs

By the way, I love your lectures! strs

Right after he gets the governor of W. Virginia reduced to half his weight on The Carnivore Diet. Bring Back MickeyD's Fries Cooked In Beef Tallow! (I actually love Bobby but he's kinda nuts.) strs

You kids and your fancy Proverbs 18:13s. :rolleyes: strs

Hard to believe you didn't detect any nuanced themes of assurance from it. Well, hardly hard, anyway. I'm going to go out on a limb here and speculate that 1 John 4 is not one of your favorite chapters in the Bible—especially verse 8? Heaven might be a really uncomfortable place for folks who...

Right Wouldn't want an epidemic of edification to break out. :

Oddly OSAS—that's good, that is. Odd, I guess because it seems like a surprisingly and refreshingly balanced take on the biblical doctrine of assurance. You really do have some of the most thoughtful threads. That's going to get you in a lot of trouble, you know. I just can't seem to avoid...

Hey, I'm right and you're wrong—that's all you need to know. :p strs

The only thing I can think of that would be worse is an "OSAS" cult in Satan's Wheel House! If there's a better way to say "I'm right so you must be wrong," I certainly can't imagine it (but I'll bet somebody already has). Sorry; I'll stop now. :)

I can only speak for myself, but I'd rather be in Satan's Wheel House than in a cult any day. Anything but a cult! :

If only he would just pull himself up by his own bootstraps and simply believe in Jesus, am I right? :

No one is fooled by the "Reader" business. There's enough from your direct response to the previous post you quoted to see that. And maybe you'd like to offer a claim that you didn't actually accuse @St. SteVen of being a habitually careless reader of posts? :

Just had a wonderful chat with my friend @Wrangler on the phone with very encouraging reports about his efforts to navigate a reconciliation with his sister. I've long believed that relationships are the one area of life where you'll find God very much willing to perform bonafide miracles if...

@HisServantinChristJesus There is no established hermeneutical model that requires understanding of original languages to correctly interpret Bible prophecy and folks who don't understand it should not be considered mentally ill. I'm sure it's hyperbole but it's probably not a good way to...

Honestly, you're like the proverbial old man shaking his walking stick at the clouds. Don't you see anything good in anything besides your hobby horse?
