I just chalk it up to the same way you probably also read the Bible..... "What's a few letters, more or less?"

What are you babbling about? That comment is hauled in from left field, and besides making no sense, it means nothing. Jesus spoke about three times as much about Heaven as He did about Hell... but so what? None of that has anything to do with claiming God condemned some people to never be...

It's not the least bit critical of God who offers Salvation to all men, and gives them the free will to choose. My words are critical of people who devise a strange theology of inescapable damnation for some, and try to claim it is of God. It is manmade, and nothing more.

Like you, the CoC actually believes their denomination (and they also swear that they are NOT a denomination) is the only one Jesus established.

You seem to have an odd view. Can you explain to us an example of something that would keep an eight month old baby out of Heaven if the child died? What do you think God would have to be merciful about and overlook in that child's short life? (This is assuming this child was not one of those...

And I was just encouraging you to make that fact a bit more obvious.

Uh, very definitely not a feature of just what a lot of us choose to label as "cults." I think that is why God allowed us to invent mirrors.

More than 30 years ago, my wife and I left a Protestant denomination that also labored under the same misconception of themselves, The Church of Christ.

Well, actually, even Dispensationalists teach "Defeatism", in that they say the world is Satan's and The Holy Spirit can do nothing but stand aside and watch whatever he chooses to do. I think this sort of thinking is deep-rooted in many people's interpretation of God's plan. Too bad really.

Oh Brother! John, My hat is off to you for how Christian-like you have dealt with this person for so long. He is trying his pitiful best to preach at me for not including the word, "all", and he can't even spell "be" correctly. Sir, you are indeed a Saint.

Tony, I spent 12 years being taught in the CoC that The Holy Spirit resided, and still resides, ONLY as words written (printed) on the pages of the Bible. I finally opened my eyes to God's everyday working in our lives through The Holy Spirit, and eventually started becoming of some use to God...

Tony, I'm STILL struggling to figure out your thinking on the guidance of The Holy Spirit. All I can imagine is what you could possibly mean is that the Apostles were "guided" to write things down in their letters.... and that we, today, are only helped by The Spirit to accept those letters as...

Here is the address to the thread "Apostolic Uniqueness", over on the Baptist Board. Apostolic Uniqueness ....Guided into All Truth BTW, Tony, (*Iconoclast*), where did you EVER get the idea that the Holy Spirit only guided the Apostles into truth... and not us ( your post #44 in that thread.)

Perhaps you could quote that post where you gave me a specific thread to look up? Do that, and I will try. I really don't recall any specific thread being named.

It seems to be a difficult site for me to navigate as a 'guest'. So, I just "SEARCHED" for any threads pertaining to JonC that had the word "hate" in them. As for this *Iconoclast* person, most all of his posts seemed combative and negative.

I just spent some time looking around on BB. About the only one there who really stands out with a bad attitude seems to be a poster called, *Iconoclast*.

No thank you. I have no desire to be on a Denominationally specific Board. I can wait six days.

I am alive today, strictly because of Joyce Meyer's tapes. As far as I am concerned, she was God's instrument in my life during a very dark time.

I have a feeling this is going to turn out to be just like when Trump was recently accused of calling the "Whistle Blower" a spy. In actuality, he never said that. He said that the W.H. Staff who gave the Whistle Blower details they were not authorized to divulge were acting as spies. I suspect...

Yes. I, for one, would like to see where John said he hated Calvinists. I honestly can't imagine him saying that. Sure, I can see anyone saying they hate the tenants of Calvinism, but not that they hate the actual people in that type of church. You have only six more days, Tony, until your...
