Not at all.... I am believing him when he said he created evil.

My thoughts on seminaries: I've never been to one, so it would be pretty unfair for me to attack one. I have read their curriculum and looked at their code of conduct, their beliefs and various other information that is provided by websites, and overall I'm not impressed. But to base an...

Yea pretty much. Veteran has given us a long personal philosophy of what he thinks Isa 10, 14 and Eze 28 and 31 mean. And other than his belief of free will and these verses are talking about Satan instead of a literal man on earth (which is the case for Isa 14, and Eze 28), I really don't see...

It does seem like Jesus is saying "don't plan for the future" since he does talk heavily about mammon in this chapter. However, I don't believe he is against it (my opinion) because Proverbs 6:6 has a parable of the ant, and how he plans. It seems more like he's saying don't put your trust in...

I liked Tom's questions to you Prentis, but you didn't answer both of them. The Bible does say the Pharisees considered them unlearned. I had a feeling you'd bring that verse up. However, that was their opinion. You hinted at that when you said, "they weren't scholars and the pharisees...

With all the verses I gave, I don't understand how you can call it a "minor doctrine".

Well, the phrase is "spare the rod, spoil the child". That isn't in the Bible, but Proverbs 22:6 is. Forgive the child, but don't turn a blind eye and don't spare punishment.

Yea, that's pretty much how I feel about what Prentis had to say too. Paul didn't draw a salary. All the money was his. What he did with it is another matter. A good pastor is worthy of "a salary" equal to 100% of the offering. But he also then takes 100% of the responsibility...

I have stated, I don’t believe in free will. There are too As many verses that state otherwise, and I’d like to share them with you: Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my...

Amen Hammerstone!

Yep.... From your point of view, they can listen to what the Bible says or they can listen to you. I do suppose the choice is theirs.

Veteran, you are spending a whole lot of time trying to prove something that isn't in the scripture (that Satan is a man) as well as trying to disprove something that is in the scripture (God created everything including evil).

I have done no such thing. There is nothing wrong with the context. God was bragging on who he was (at the moment, to Cyrus) and letting him know that there is no one else beside him. He is the God who does it all.

All the money that is taken into the Church offering, according to God, is determinined by the Pastor. That's the bottom line because God said so. Now, if the Pastor wants to obey God, and the Gov't, then he has certain rules to follow. And frankly, God's more liberal with how the money is...

By the way... I seem to remember Veteran accusing someone of "accusing God of creating evil". That ain't me. I not only testify to the truth that God created it, but that he bragged about it! He said, No one else does this, it's only me! He was bragging in Isa 35 about how greate he was...

Jburic, You have asked a lot of questions, and I don't know if I can answer them all. In fact, I'm not going to try to answer any of the questions you asked, but propose a slightly different question. In my question and answer, I think I can answer the three questions I chose from your post...

Aspen, I created this thread to address comments you made. So while you address these to Vengle, I'd like to answer. If evil is not a thing, what is it? I understand what you to say Augustine said evil was, and cannot comment because I have not read his work. I have read you quoting...

Veteran wrote: “God addressing Satan as "a man" (like in Isa.14) is not dependent upon the idea of flesh man, simply because the image of man originates from God's Own Image. That's why when angels appeared on earth per God's Word they had the image appearance of man. Even the meaning of the...

I discussed Isa 14 to point out that the same mistake many make in Eze 28 is made in Isa 14. I brought up Eze 31 as evidence that the Eden discussed in ch 28 was not the Garden of Eden found in Gen, but an earthly region. They have nothing to do with the question of whether God or Satan...

That was pretty uncalled for. If you aren't going to discuss them, I'm fine with that.... In fact, I have no interest in discussing it with you at this point.
