Oneoff, Can't you engage in constructive dialogue with me without making the false accusation against me of a 'final "winning word"'? I'm not planning on 'dieing' but I will be 'dying' one day. I am not saying anything of you personally. However, you are promoting some strange doctrines on...

lforrest, I am finding the OP to be very broad in scope - Statement of Faith. In a few recent posts, I have commented on the content of the canon of Scripture. Does the CyB SoF include a statement on the 66 books of OT and NT being the accepted canon for CyB? Or, are you prepared to accept the...

That doesn't answer my issue with your philosophy, jaybird. The 'other sheep' are people who come into God's kingdom God's way and not through a way you and I might like to invent. See John 14:6 (ESV); Acts 4:12 (ESV). There is no other way into the kingdom than through Jesus Christ and his...

Well said, brother Bob. :)

jaybird, Why are you confusing the compassion of Jesus and his followers with the brutal sinful actions of some people? You have an agenda that doesn't want to see that Buddhist compassion is not the same as Christian compassion. You don't seem to want to understand that there are examples of...

jaybird, Are you suggesting that Jesus's 'other sheep' are those following the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Communism, atheism, agnosticism, environmentalism, etc? Where are these 'other sheep' found? Oz

I was not being sarcastic. I was dead serious about your wanting to trace things back to Noah and I used the Holocaust as an horrific example of your Noahic doctrine. It's time for you to realise that the Buddhist world and life view is a country mile from that of biblical Christianity...

In your response, you have not addressed what I wrote: 'Because N T Wright believes something doesn't make it biblical. See 'N T Wright on Rob Bell and the Reality of Hell'. N T Wright supports in women in ministry. Do you support his view?'. Thus, you have committed a red herring logical...

Your response demonstrates you can't discern the difference between the fantasy of the Gospel of Peter and the sinful reality that is expressed in Genesis 19.

Because N T Wright believes something doesn't make it biblical. See 'N T Wright on Rob Bell and the Reality of Hell'. N T Wright supports in women in ministry. Do you support his view?

So is it OK with you that Christians should be reading, imbibing and treating as sacred writings, the Gospel of Peter which states: So a talking cross is suitable for you as the norm for biblical Christianity? Oz

Could you also be one of them?

One does not make a determination 'for oneself' as to what is in the canon of Scripture. The church has already made that decision in the early centuries. Or, are you reading the Gospel of Thomas, the Gospel of Peter, the Gospel of the Hebrews, and the Gospel of the Laodiceans as equal with the...

You do your own research on the origin of Buddhism. It is simplistic to blame it on Noah's descendants. Are you going to blame the Holocaust on Noah?

Buddhists get their views of compassion, humility, honesty and generosity from a totally different worldview to that of biblical Christianity. Don't you understand the differences between the outworkings of a Buddist worldview and a Christian worldview? I said not a word about Satan. However...

brakelite, I refute that view in Is hell fair? and the accompanying links at the conclusion of the article. The Greek language does not allow me to come to the conclusions which you endorse. Oz

Tom, This is not the case regarding heretics. 1 John 4:1-3 (ESV) states: 'Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that...

prashanthd, Thanks so much for getting back to me with the information about the Hyderabad IPL team. Adam Gilchrist was one of Australia's greatest wicketkeeper and opening batsmen in all forms of the game. But he really was a slogger in the shorter forms (50 overs and T20). He had a phenomenal...

Oneoff, Are you the one who determines what is truth in the canon of Scripture?

The qualities of compassion, humility, honesty and generosity that come from God Himself, through our relationship with Jesus Christ, are based on the values of the kingdom of God - not the nontheistic values of Tibetan Buddhism. Seems as though you are into a different worldview to that of...
