I gave you a link that provides the meaning of a red herring fallacy. Here it is again: That's a red herring logical fallacy of a response. What is there in this description that you don't understand?

Stan, You are really stretching hermeneutics big time to make these verses you have quoted refer to being 'slain in the Spirit'. The context of these quotes tells a very different story. So do you believe that a person needs the initial evidence of speaking in tongues to demonstrate he/she has...

You are the one accusing me, 'That is your perception'. I gave you an example of your flaming comment about The Barrd. She does not deserve to get that kind of goading from you. It has nothing to do with perception. It is what you did. To call her, 'You silly, silly woman ' is goading her and is...

marksman, In another post, you identified the fact that you attended a Brethren Bible College. Since you live in Melbourne, you are a fellow Aussie with me. Does this mean you are associated with the Christian Brethren? If you are, it may be true that the women in your assembly and other...

It has more to do with his inflammatory, ungodly language towards you in this public forum. This kind of attack on you should not be allowed on any Christian forum.

marksman, That's a red herring logical fallacy of a response. You did not deal with the issues I raised. You were off and running with your own twist and turn on the topic about the Brethren Bible College. That's not the topic we are discussing. We cannot have a logical discussion when you do...

marksman, A leading NT exegete, Dr N T Wright, has a very different take on 1 Tim 2:12 (ESV) than you do. He wrote: Wright has articulated an interpretation of 1 Tim 2:12 (ESV) that is consistent with the teaching of 1 Tim 2 and the remainder of 1 Tim. It goes against your opposition to woman...

marksman, I find it disturbing on this Christian forum that you would give that kind of flaming comment to a woman who is made God's image. You have made other derogatory comments in this thread to Barrd and I think it's time some moderator on this forum took you to task for your brazen...

I don't know what point you are trying to make with these Strong's Concordance references. We are discussing the ability of salt to be a preservative metaphorically when Christians are just that in our world. I can't see any connection with the wise and foolish virgins, based on Matt 5:10-14.

The Barrd, In my last post, I forget to mention a few details about John Dominic Crossan whom you said you had not heard of. He was a former RCC priest who left the priesthood to marry and who taught biblical studies at DePaul University, Chicago for a quarter of a century. He was one of the...

The Barrd, I'll respond to a few of your comments: 1. Why don't you try convincing some of your Calvinistic friends that God's grace has appeared to ALL people prior to salvation (Titus 2:11)? Grace towards the elect but not towards the non-elect for Calvinism. That's why the teaching on...

So your Mom was a Welsh lady. You like the emphasis of, I think I prefer the term "Amazing Grace". Or "Loving Grace"....or "Miraculous Grace".... Or even simple "Saving Grace." The problem with that wonderful language of grace associated with salvation is that it doesn't convey the concept...

The Barrd, What a sinner man I am with my incorrect spelling for a spelling Nazi! Those links to my articles will not work at the moment because they are on my son's server and his server is down at the moment for maintenance. I can't even connect to them. Be patient until he does his...

The Baard, In my post at #6, I did give another term for prevenient grace, i.e. common grace. Or could we say that prevenient grace is synonymous with grace that God extends to all people that enables them to come to Christ. That's enabling grace. A little while back I wrote an article that...

The Baard, You didn't really answer the content of what I wrote at #4. All you did was disagree with the theology of 2 words, 'prevenient grace', even though I had provided examples of it in 5 verses. Prevenient grace (or common grace) is not that difficult to explain. Titus 2:11 (ESV) does it...

The Barrd, In the story you have given, you have indicated the grace of one person to another. What does that 'grace' mean in a Christian context? Are you saying that this grace means freedom? Or, are you considering this grace to be like that of God towards the undeserving? in fact, the...

Richard, This is a false allegation against me. I am not trying to elevate myself. I have no reason or desire to do that. If that is what it seemed to be to you, would you please forgive me? I also have been on forums for a long time. I have concluded it is a dangerous thing to judge another's...

This is a red herring of a reply. You did not address the issues I raised. Again, your reply is loaded with your presuppositions, without evidence to support them.

Richard, I was simply making a suggestion about better communication. Nothing more, nothing less. There's no need to get defensive like this about what I said. I was simply asking you to provide simpler communication to this old fellow. That's all. Oz

Tom, I do agree Hippo and Carthage were instrumental in fixing NT and OT scripture as Gods word. But why did God not let the Christians before the fourth century KNOW which writings were inspired by him? How do you know God didn't let the Christians know? This we do know: In speaking of...
