Not relevant. I have a "precommittment" to accepting what ever the Bible states. This isn't about you citing authorities, this is about your baseless, ridiculous, belief that you're only being proven wrong by everyone else because there's a conspiracy to suppress the correct...

Because of how they are poor and obvious attempts to suppress the reality of what is being discussed. "Each man is to be fully convinced in his own mind"--if the person goes and does something he is not convinced is correct, that is doing something without faith (ie, with uncertainty, with...

Irrelevant: as stated, and as you know, there're multitudes of books by OSASers, so quit being ridiculous. The issue is merely they have spoken without understanding the ramifications of the obvious interpretation--but the reason you are objecting is because I have understood the ramifications...

I'm glad, for your sake, that you recognize I was doing well, but it's sad to see that you are in such a state as to have to suppress the truth that I am still doing stellar. Not appealing to authority, just discussing the Greek--unless you are complaining that I have to go to an authority on...

No, Paul doesn't argue for a "non-contingent salvation"--Romans 8:1 never touches upon whether "in Christ" is "contingent" upon anything, and immediately speaks in a way that undermines that assumption (vv12,13). Well, yes, Romans 14:23, but, also, many other verses--Romans 8:12,13 for example...

@CadyandZoe How could you allow yourself to be incurious about all the Scriptural "extra parts" left laying around after building your theology? Why does the concept of "remaining in Christ" (Jn 15; 1 Jn 3:23,24), always by keeping His Word and commands, even exist in Scripture if being "in...

No, "dissent" hasn't been weeded out, they have multitudes of books from authors who agree with you on OSAS/POTS, but those same OSAS/POTS teachers haven't understood the implications of interpreting Romans 14:23 correctly (as they have).

I'm proving my case, actually, from the passages I've raised. You "don't see" it. That is perfectly fine by me. Your arguments against what is obviously occurring in Ro 14, and, in particular, v23, are ridiculous.

1. He had described the plight of the Jew under Law (mastered by Sin Ro 6:14), and he says Christ rescues us from that slavery, and being rescued from slavery to Sin, we THEREFORE are not condemned, because we can fulfill the Law, and not be condemned for breaking the Law, but he goes on to warn...

So, it is more likely, to your mind, that basically everyone else disagrees with you because they do not love God than it is that you're simply wrong? "Odd".

This is not an answer to the argument.

As stated, this entire point is irrelevant. Beside the fact that you're assuming inaccurate convictions are always religious beliefs (as if it only refers to Jewish Christians), but a Gentile believer could easily have held to vegetarianism, a religion-based argument can be religiously debunked...

1. I wasn't asking why you made long posts--everyone should. 2. I didn't follow any pastor or commentary to my conclusion--AFTER I reached my conclusion, during this discussion, I checked what others said about it, and they agreed with me. 3. You're not "verbose", you're just completely...

But you don't find it odd that it's everyone else who's wrong, not you?

No, you're confusing the matter (and it's understandable why--you have to try to save your argument): Paul never said "their arguments are weak", he said "the brother is weak in his faith", and he explicitly talks about someone who has a "weak conscience". But if the issue was about "make sure...

@Behold Regarding your non-answer to the OP, I think the benefit of believing in the error that "the only condemnation you experience as a Christian is your own self-condemnation--it's not real, it's not God condemning you, so just ignore it and trust that God doesn't condemn you" is (though...

@Behold It is commendable that people trust in what Christ accomplished for us, and it is good to teach people to trust God about those things, affirming things that are true of us in Christ, appropriating what Christ accomplished on the Cross, and it is a potential error to, having begun by the...

1. Here's your argument: "I'm right, and when ever you disagree, it proves you're carnal, and I'm sure you'll disagree with me again, proving that I'm right and you're carnal." If I make that same argument, will it be as valid as when you make it? Let me try: "I'm right, and when ever you...

1. You claimed people who were children of God weren't the "doulos" of Luke 12, but Paul said he was a "doulos", so was he not a child of God, or were you wrong? By your own rule, you're "carnal": you're saying "nah you didn't prove it" when I did, and you haven't even begun to respond. 2...

@CadyandZoe Not that finding respected people who agree with us conclusively proves anything (I stand on my own, and my arguments don't need help), but I'm curious: are there any NT scholars, any commentaries, any teachers, etc, (Monergist or Synergist), that actually disagree with my view and...
