You've given me another red herring. You claim 'Your denials with No support whatsoever are quite evident'. This is baloney because I gave you an example of what you did with Heb 9:27. I've given ample support with evidence, but you are not listening. Bye, Oz

justaname, What a delightful and insightful exposition! There are special insights here of what awaits the redeemed. This is especially meaningful for me as I have to endure two major disabilities and have had one of them for many years. To have it described as 'our light and momentary...

justaname, That's essentially my understanding. However, in this thread, I understood we were discussing the third heaven, the ultimate destiny of believers, which is known as heaven, Paradise, Abraham's bosom, and my Father's house.

Thank you my Christian friend for joining with me in acknowledging you are ready for heaven. Can we agree that that means meeting our Saviour - 'at home with the Lord'? What a wonderful assurance that reaches deep within my heart because it is the sound teaching of Scripture, as I've attempted...

Brothers and sisters in Christ, are you prepared to sing with and endorse ‘When we all get to heaven‘ (Terry Blackwood, Karen Peck & friends)? Have we presented enough evidence in this thread to demonstrate that heaven is the Christian believer's destiny at death? I'm ready. Are you? Oz

Stan, My assertions about your using a red herring fallacy are not fallacious but are spot on in their truthfulness. I find the following explanation of a red herring fallacy to be more helpful in understanding what you do. Let's examine what you do, based on this explanation of the red herring...

Stan, There are too many red herring fallacies here in your distortions of what I wrote. I'll leave you to your own ruminations. Bye, Oz

Michael, I encourage you to write as soon as possible after the event as the longer you wait, the less impact it will have. I know from personal experience, as I used to work in the advertising industry and if somebody complained 5 weeks after an event, it had not nearly the impact on...

Stan, You are inventing a straw man fallacy again. You state: 'So you're advocating /asserting that there is NO negative content in scripture?' At no place in my post did I state that. You're into eisegesis of my post. If you continue to do this to me, I'll not be replying to you. When you use...

justaname, This questioning of the authority or denigration of the OT seems to me to be associated with a low view of the attributes of God, especially his truthfulness. If God's words are not true, he will be treated as a liar or person who can't be trusted with instructions in the OT. I...

justaname, Why don't you back quote so we know the content to which you are referring? I assumed it was to StanJ's post. Was that so? There is enough evidence that at death the body returns to dust (whether in the grave or cremated) and the spirit returns to God. I'm indeed pleased about that...

From where did you gain that information? You did not refer to the content of what I wrote. The fact that this book of Ecclesiastes is contained in the OT indicates that it is God-breathed Scripture (2 Tim 3:16-17). Even though it is a view from 'under the sun' (Eccl. 1:3), it comes with the...

We have an interesting OT verse that speaks of what happens at death: Ecclesiastes 12:7 (ESV), "And the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it". Other translations are: "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto...

Michael, Depending on the situation, I generally choose one of these ways to respond: 1. I would write to the theatre to complain about the issue you raise. 2. I often write a letter to a local or state newspaper. In my weekly newspaper, most of my letters are published. If it is an issue...

Guestman, I read and teach NT Greek and that is not my understanding of the Greek text of John 1:1. A T Robertson's, Word Pictures in the New Testament explains the grammar accurately: Therefore, the translation, 'The Word was a god', is an incorrect translation, based on the Greek grammar...

The Barrd, I've given you my reply in a PM and that content has not changed. Oz

Stan, When you understand the meaning of a red herring logical fallacy and how you use it, then you'll know how you use it on this forum. See: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.html. Bye, Oz

The Barrd, I had no idea you were referring to yourself. Try it with an Aussie accent and I might understand.

That's a red herring, Stan.

Sarcasm and put downs such as that are totally unnecessary.
