Marilyn, You'll need to ask moderators about the start of the forum as I've only been here for 12 months. I'll talk with you about the other details in a PM (private message). Oz

Marilyn, Thanks for sharing how you found us. No, I don't know Alan Scott. Does he do street preaching in Shepparton? I know the former Shep MP, Don Kilgour. When I was TV newsreader at GMV6, I played cricket with him on the Shepparton Youth Club team. I was such an absolute novice who didn't...

What happened through Paul and Barnabas at Iconium? See Acts Acts 14:3 (ESV), 'So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands'. They were not performing magic, but signs and wonders...

Richard, Is the Apocrypha in your Bible or not? Did God want these Deuterocanonical Books in the Bible as they are in the KJV1611; Douay-Rheims, New American Bible, Jerusalem Bible, RSV, NRSV, Revised English Bible, etc? Oz

Marilyn, Why don't you start a new thread on this topic in 'Eschatology & Prophecy' forum at: http://www.christianityboard.com/forum/14-eschatology-prophecy-forum/ Oz

So, are you saying KingJ that this Scripture is pointing to those who are interested in the magic of signs and wonders? I'm speaking of Heb 2:3-5 (ESV): Are you casting magical aspersions on this Scripture or are you allowing for supernatural signs and wonders and miracles from the hand of God? Oz

Thanks again, Marilyn, for your response. Which view on eschatology are you presenting to your friends? Oz

Good morning Marilyn, Keep up the good work of writing to the newspapers. I write on other than Christian topics as well. This week I've had 2 letters published in 2 of our local freebies on the referendum for 4-year terms in the Qld parliament. I disagree and have voted 'No' to the referendum...

Loretta, At GotQuestions? there is an excellent, brief article, 'Where is heaven? What is the location of heaven?' Heaven is where the Trinitarian God is. We have not been told its specific location in Scripture. Oz

The first sentence of post #167 stated: 'Are you? If you expecting God to do a miracle on a promise basis you cannot get more old covenant.' That is a pointless statement in communicating any useful information about your assertion that adulterers are stoned to death. I asked you to defend that...

WW, I conclude that we are not told the author and I don't know who he was. It is acceptable to me that the early church saw it appropriate to include the Book of Hebrews in the canon of Scripture. Oz

You are inventing again. This is a straw man fallacy. We cannot have a rational conversation when you continue to do this. I will leave this conversation with you because you have abandoned reasonable conversation with me. :rolleyes: Bye, Bye Oz

A full definition of 'magic' by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is, To apply these definitions to miracles in the New Covenant is to defy the basics of definition. Oz

Please answer my question. When you do this, you are giving me a red herring fallacy where you fail to deal with the issue I raise.

These are excellent emphases, Marilyn, which I support. I would add that there is content to the Gospel that in our secular Australia needs to be defended (1 Peter 3:15), like Paul on the Areopagus (Acts 17). I find there are some excellent opportunities for defense of the faith in online and...

Marilyn, Is yours an orchard (which fruit?), dairy or some other kind of farm? In which direction are you from Shepparton? N, S, E or W? We used to have friends in Kyabram. My wife and I used to attend Shepparton Baptist Church. How did you come to locate us at Christianity Board? Blessings, Oz

This is a straw man argument. At no time have I given the example of a person getting out of a wheel chair. That's KingJ's invention against me. At no time have I ever suggested that I need to see the wheelchair man to be healed to believe in God. That's your invention. Let's get back on...

Thanks, Marilyn. I know some of your part of the world as I used to be a TV news reader in Shepparton many moons ago - along with being co-host of GMV (now WIN) Juniors with Joey, the clown. Oz

We can be of one flock with one Shepherd but we all do not have the same opinion. God gave us minds to think with and some have more information than others. Some are more logical in their thinking than others. Some of us are older and younger and have different intellectual ability. And dare...

That's a red herring. Do you live under the New Covenant or under the Old Covenant where adulterers are stoned?
