kepha, That's a pathetic attitude towards those children who have been sexually abused by Roman Catholic paedophile priests. This article from ABC News, 8 Feb 2017, 'Child sex abuse royal commission: Data reveals extent of Catholic allegations' stated: Faith should be shaken when we discover...

You have responded with a red herring fallacy to what I wrote. We can't engage in a rational conversation when you pursue this kind of fallacious reasoning.

Only the Lord knows how many special situations there have been since Golgotha. That's his business. But I know it happens because it occurred for the thief on the cross.

Tom, If it was good enough for the thief on the cross to go immediately to Paradise, it is good enough for anyone in his/her last breath to respond in faith to Jesus. Argument from silence is a logical fallacy. It is fallacious reasoning that does not assist in reasonable conversation. We...

Josho, Here in Brisbane, if you stood in the Queen Street Mall in the CBD and identified yourself as one of the 'Holy Ghost warriors', most people would label you as belonging in the mental health facility. 'Temples of the Holy Spirit' and 'the Body of Christ' are just as nebulous for secular...

Tom, There are some people who may be physically incapable of doing certain manual and other work. Why can't they put something towards sponsoring an underprivileged child? How about helping an immigrant family with learning to speak English? I know physically incapable women who help others to...

Tom, My topic was not the good works of the atheist, agnostic, secularist or non-Christian. They clearly do good works in the community. My topic was dealing with the demonstration of genuine faith. If genuine faith is not followed by good works (which result from that genuine faith) then it...

Zachary, With your assessment of what I wrote as 'NONSENSE' does not convey meaning when you don't describe and defend what is nonsense. James 2:18 (ESV) states, 'But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by...

Zachary, That's an unhelpful comment as it tells me nothing about what you consider I'm not understanding from what I read. I'm not an idiot. Oz

Zachary, You still have not defined 'easy-believism and easy-grace'. You have given me some of the characteristics that you think are associated with such, but I await a definition. How would you respond to this definition and brief explanation? So, is your debate about easy-believism or...

skypair, This is why I do not believe he nailed it. Arminians (the Remonstrance and Jacobus Arminius) also believed in total depravity and they were not TULIP Calvinists. I have attempted to address some of these issues in my article, Do Arminians believe in election and total depravity? The...

Stranger, Are you affirming unlimited atonement? That is, Jesus died for the whole world of all people. Is that what you say you believe? Oz

Zachary, Please define for me your understanding of easy-believism and easy-grace. When you don't provide a definition, I don't know what you are attacking. Oz

So you claim 'Are you a NT Greek scholar?' is incorrect grammar. When will you get it that 'Are you a NT Greek scholar' is short hand for 'Are you a New Testament Greek scholar?' My shorthand was correct grammar. Straining at a gnat again. So you are a person who doesn't know NT Greek, but is...

Luke 1:48 (NLT) states: 'For he took notice of his lowly servant girl, and from now on all generations will call me blessed'. That does not deal with the perfect passive participle that I provided exegesis for in #771. Why do you give me another red herring? Deal with the evidence I provided...

Tom, This is a red herring fallacy of a reply. Now deal with the material I presented instead of running off at your own tangent and refusing to engage with the material I provided. I know your tactic and we cannot have an intelligent conversation when you refuse to respond to my content. Oz

Now deal with the grammar I provided. Your response is a red herring fallacy. Are you a NT Greek scholar who knows what he is talking about as a Greek exegete?

Now you give me an ad hominem fallacy and a red herring fallacy. We cannot have a responsible discussion when you continue to erect straw man fallacies about what I write and then give other logical fallacies of response. I will not continue to respond when you engage in this kind of abuse...

BreadOfLife, Your sarcasm towards me in this post is unbecoming of you on this Christian forum. It says more about you than about me. Daniel Wallace, a NT Greek scholar, in dealing with the verbal side of the participle, wrote: In Luke 1:28, kecharitwmene, a perfect passive participle of...

Have you never heard of oral tradition and how the message of Jesus was spread by rote until it was written down? There was the added problem of illiteracy in the first century, hence the power of oral tradition.
