Stan, That's not the evidence I've uncovered. Many Christians today assume that the NT wine is identical with wine in contemporary society. That’s an error. Today’s wine, beer and spirits are, by biblical definition, “strong drink.” And use of that is forbidden by the Bible. Wine in the Bible...

The Barrd, I'll step into the controversy because I'm convinced that the biblical evidence is that contemporary alcohol, wine and spirits are closer to what the OT called 'strong drink' and the use of it is forbidden. One of Norman Geisler's articles, 'A Christian perspective on wine-drinking'...

I think that it is an extreme statement to have a title, 'The whole of the NT explains how salvation is obtained'. The facts are that there are many aspects of the NT that do not relate directly to salvation. We have teaching on bibliology, christology, eschatology, sanctification, history...

The Barrd, You have stated it well with your down home Alabama drawl. Here is my okka accented version (based on Scripture): James asks, 'Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?' (James 2:21 ESV). Paul taught that 'Abraham “believed God, and...

The Barrd, This is an English translation of what Luther wrote about James: It has been suggested by some interpreters of Luther that Luther's rather strange parody in describing James as a 'right strawy epistle' could be associated with his reaction to the praise given to his later opponent...

Richard, When will you address the topic I raised in #112 on the Book of James? Your response here has nothing to do with the content of what I wrote in #112. Oz

The Barrd, What topic on the Book of James would you like to discuss? That should get us back on track. I'll raise one that has caused some evangelicals to agree with Martin Luther that James is a 'right strawy epistle' (an epistle of straw). How is it that we are justified by faith (Rom 5:1)...

You demonstrate again that you do not seem to understand the logical fallacies you use. This kind of response is another red herring. See my reply at #104. Your use of this fallacy further confirms that we cannot have a logical conversation. Bye! Bye!

That's a straw man, a false claim against me. You are proving the point I've been making. When you use logical fallacies, we cannot engage in a rational conversation. Bye! Bye!

Stan, I have given you an explanation of the way you engage in fallacious reasoning with a red herring logical fallacy in #119. I do not plan on repeating the nature of your false reasoning when you use a red herring. In your reply here, you have given me another red herring. It has zero to do...

FHill, I think we have to be careful here because there are a few verses from the Sermon on the Mount that should cause all of us to reflect deeply on what it is to be Christian: There are even those who acknowledge Jesus as Lord whom He does not know and suffer the consequences of their...

Richard, Here you give me another red herring fallacy. What is that fallacy? This is how you have committed this reasoning with me: Oz's topic was: 'So, you are not prepared to listen to how your tactics on this forum get in the way of reasonable conversation?', i.e. your tactics (reasoning)...

So you give me another red herring fallacy. You refuse to stop your fallacious reasoning.

Stan, Take a close look at my post at #111. Not once in the entire post did I mention Isa 9:6. Not once. When you invent what I did not state, don't you understand that you have erected a straw man fallacy? According to the description in The Nizkor Project, we have, How did Stan create a...

Stan, Whenever you have used a logical fallacy for the first time, I have given you a link to a definition of that fallacy with the Nizkor Project Fallacies. When you've used, say, a red herring logical fallacy, I provided that latter link. It seems like I have to specifically mention what...

Stan, Where have I ever disputed the accuracy of the prophecy of Isa 9:6? Never ever! That's your inflammatory invention about my theology. What does 'incarnate' mean? It means 'to become flesh'. What does incarnate mean? How was Jesus God incarnate? (GotQuestions?) I have never denied that...

Stan, Drawing attention to the logical fallacies you use in posts is not being inflammatory, but pointing out the tactics you use in discussion. This is not striving about words; it is dealing with fallacious reasoning that is designed to deal with wholesome conversation. You obviously don't...

Stan, The drawing I gave WAS accurate because there is one God in the Trinity with three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The more I read your posts on CyB relating to the Trinity, the more I'm coming to believe you are non-Trinitarian and are a supporter of Pentecostal Oneness theology...

That's because you want to identify the Trinity as promoting only one God who is in 3 persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is orthodox Christianity.
