P4T, I choose not to respond further to posters who do not provide biblical support for their positions and are not prepared to dialogue concerning those positions. Assertions are no more than personal opinions. Oz

Please demonstrate that meaning from the context of 1 John 2. Oz

CoreIssue, I am not a Calvinist, but to call it a cult is a BIG call. Would you please define the criteria that make Calvinism a cult? I notice in your post you provided no Scripture to support your claims Oz

Friend of, I'm sympathetic with your view as I'm Charismatic. However, I Cor 14 provides me with 2 concerns: 1. First Cor 14:5 gives an example of a single person being edified by God while speaking in tongues. 2. First Cor 14:6-19 teaches what should happen in a group. There must be the...

Mjh29, Do you believe in limited atonement? Does 1 John 2:2 support limited atonement? Oz

Anthony, That's an assertion. Please provide biblical evidence.for TULIP, while taking into account contrary evidence, including the warning passages about falling away. Oz

Which error?

Read Norman Geisler, Chosen But Free, to get this synthesis. Oz

You have not answered my post but given your presuppositions.

qt, According to Gen 2:15-17 (CSB), 15 The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden, 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...

qt, Your statements are: 'the reason being that I guess you would ignore it anyway', an argument from silence, which is erroneous reasoning. Yours is a false statement about my beliefs. 'Using 1 Tim. 6:15-16 to justify the immortality of the soul is using God's word to underpin a falsehood by...

qt, You provide no biblical evidence to support your view. But you reject immortality of human souls. Contrary to your view that the cards tumble, instead the tower of Scripture stands strong in favour of immortality of the soul. There is only one Person who is truly immortal – God Himself...

charity, Do you read and know the grammar of NT Greek so that you are able to use the Greek lexicons and The Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (Kittel & Friedrich ed.) so you are able to discern the meaning of hades, gehenna, and tartarus from the original language? The explanations...

qt, Please tell me why? What is the Intermediate State? Those 2 words are not in the Bible (neither is the word Trinity or Bible) but they address biblical teaching on the location of believers and unbelievers after death and until the resurrection at Jesus' second coming. See: The...

brakelite, For the NT, please provide the etymology of hades, gehenna and tartarus to demonstrate the truth of their meaning. Otherwise, they are your opinions. Oz

charity, Why did the KJV translate 3 Greek words as 'hell', i.e. hades, gehenna and tartarus? Do all of these words refer to 'the grave' (your view)? Oz

charity, I find it interesting, even paradoxical, that you quoted Eccl 9:5 in support of your view, but you did not mention Eccl 12:7 (ERV), which states: "Your body came from the earth. And when you die, it will return to the earth. But your spirit came from God, and when you die, it...

It stacks up perfectly if you understand the Intermediate State after death for believers and non-believers.

Luke 16 contradicts your view. Ever heard of the Intermediate State for both believers and unbelievers after death?

charity, Don't you mean you are presenting the 'truth' of your interpretation of the state of the dead? I gave you an example from Luke 16 of the state of the dead, both believer and unbeliever, and you chose to avoid that passage. I also am a seeker of truth. Oz
