As Paul said, "the time is coming..." (and is now here, of course; it was even in the early days of the Church) "...when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions and will turn away from listening to the...

From above (2 of 2)... Yes, but only because... he/she has been born again of the Spirit. Paul again: "...we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in...

Well then bad on him, if he did... <smile> If he did he got that wrong, along with some other things... <chuckles> Of course. Who in their right mind would teach that man does not have free will? Neither Augustine nor Calvin, nor any of the reformers taught such. However... <smile>...

...continued from above: Weeeeeeelllllll, no you're not... but that's okay... <smile> Yeah no. See above. God says what He says. Somebody's in denial, here, but it's not me (or reformed folks)... <smile> Sure... In... your humble, erstwhile opinion. Yeah I get it. <smile> Well...

Well, okay, what you think is, or are just branding as, "new doctrine." I do, too, actually, but nothing I have talked about is new in that sense, or even close. So this is certainly not an exhaustive list... "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus... we are...

I understand; no worries. I was really just being somewhat playful with you... <smile> Interesting. Yes, I understand. Christians longing to be with other Christians is definitely a thing. <smile> Ah, well, we all preach Christ and Him crucified, do we not? Based on what we've been...

Hmm, maybe so, but that wasn't the idea I got from that... <smile> If so, then maybe she should have been clearer about that, but whatever. Grace and peace to you, PS95.

Guess I'm gettin' ghosted... <chuckles> @GodsGrace Grace and peace to all.

Ugh. No… <smile> I mean, Auntie Jane and I might find some things to agree on, but-tuhhhh… no. <smile> Grace and peace to you.

Continued from above... See, all this is good, God'sGrace, and any Bible-believing Christian ~ even reformed ones... <smile> ~ will heartily agree with all these things. However... <smile> ...all these points can be misunderstood in the certain sense of soft-pedaling God's sovereignty over all...

LOL! Well, we would agree about Catholicism, more or less. But they do get some things right... <smile> I mean, we're all sinners. Not an excuse, but it is what it is. None of us are anywhere close to perfect (but we will be...). As Paul said even of himself, we "do the things we know we...

I wouldn’t call it a “doctrine,” per se; it just is what it is… and it’s been around a good long time… a little north of two millennia now… <smile> You obviously disagree, and that’s… okay. <smile> Well no, the first person to spread it far and wide was Augustine, over a thousand years prior...

Fair enough, but it is. To not see the contrast drawn by Paul regarding God ~ YHWH of course ~ and "the god of this world" in 2 Corinthians 4:1-4 is astounding, ewq. Observe: "Therefore, having this ministry by the mercy of God, we do not lose heart. But we have renounced disgraceful...

Well, aside from the fact that your understanding of these things is far, far too wooden… <smile> …no, not in the wooden way you’re… “thinking” …of it. <smile> Same as directly above, David. Revelation is a picture book, and by that, I mean that the realities of the things spoken of in...

They do??? I mean, dude. I’m definitely an “Amill,” and any kind of assertion that the world is the “bottomless pit” of Revelation 20 is absolutely absurd. Goodness gracious. No “Amill” worth his salt or anywhere close to it thinks that. It’s not an actual place at all. Everything in...

In… your opinion. Yeah, I get it… <smile> But no… Not explicitly, no. But maybe you didn’t read the rest of what I said there… Hmmm… either this is a misunderstanding of what I said or…. Meh. Whatever. But to your assertion here…. Well, I’ll say this; We “see” Christ’s first coming in...

I know that very well. And that’s what I have been speaking to. Okay, but it also does not say he is not bound. <smile>. I think you’re reading it with… maybe, according to what you have said… an entirely wrong mindset. That’s what I’ve been saying to you. I know what it says; I read at...
