    The biblical truth is a dialectical equation

    So...if none are righteous according to a few verses in the bible...how do we end up with this? Both are recorded in the NT (Real answers only please) Romans 3:10 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: maybe Luke didn't get the memo??? Luke 1:6 6 And they were both...

    The biblical truth is a dialectical equation

    Surely you are exaggerating any understanding you have concerning the OP. God has hidden the truth so that very few can understand it. That's why we are to search for it as for hid treasure. The people that say they understand the bible understand it the least. And God made it that way. And I...

    The biblical truth is a dialectical equation

    The bible is written as a "dialectic"...where there is a thesis...an antithesis..and when these agree we have synthesis. it is a way to understanding the truth based on the way our brains work. We have 2 poles in our brain that function each separately. It's what allows us to become hypocrites...

    Misreading Paul through Luther

    Luther was the "high priest" of Nazism (National Socialism)...in that Hitler carried out all Luther's directives against the Jewish people. "On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und iren Lügen; in modern spelling Von den Juden und ihren Lügen) is a 65,000-word anti-Judaic treatise...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    God is looking for spiritual fruit...not religious nuts. :)

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    Luther was Hitler's mentor...and all he did was carry out Luther's directives. Why do you think Nazism was so acceptable to German Lutherans? Have you read Luther? Have you studied history? People who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und...

    Consider yourself rebuked.

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    I get that kind of reaction from religious kooks like yourself. Remember that Jesus was crucified by religious extremists.

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    So you are espousing being a judge of the world? Whereas Paul said that we are not to judge they who are outside the church. Are you not also a sinner...a sinner who judges others as sinners/ Are you not simply condemning yourself to whatever end you judge others into? Will you not fall into...

    Misreading Paul through Luther

    2 Pet. 3:16 as also in all his (Paul's) epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. What Luther suggested...very seductively...is that the...

    Misreading Paul through Luther

    I got the idea of this thread through a post in another thread that suggested that Paul was a false teacher. I don't see that. I don't believe that. What I see is that nonspiritual people can misread Paul as catering to the flesh. And the champion of all champions of carnal religious men with...

    Awesome debate with a Muslim..

    And that's because people misread Paul. They assume he is preaching "another" gospel to what Jesus taught. But most people are basically bible illiterate. Even Peter says the unlearned twist the meaning of Paul's letters as they do the other scriptures. So people are reading Paul through their...

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    One error doesn't beg for another error to replace it. So the devil is laying a shell game with mankind. But it's all errors. We think we have to choose one. But just like politics...we can avoid the errors altogether and look up to God. All the ways of men are corrupt. Only the naive don't...

    Can men with a mullet haircut be saved?

    A brilliant article. I paid especial notice to this statement. "Whilst his mullet was saved," So then a mullet can indeed be saved. Now it just remains for the person having the mullet to be saved.

    Do we even have the correct definition of "saved?"

    And yet you are a child yourself.....

    Can men with a mullet haircut be saved?

    Ok so trendy might still cut it. So maybe a mullet person can become at least partially saved? maybe in the front but not yet in the back?

    Can men with a mullet haircut be saved?

    See...That's what I'm afraid of...when we start dating ourselves. (I mean that in every sense of the word.)

    Can men with a mullet haircut be saved?

    Mullets and stubbies?! See where mullets lead us? Men have to demand more from their casual attire. Is less really more? Is more hair related to less trouserware?

    Are Protestants "saved? "

    I wouldn't dare. This is a respectable site after all. Certain stylistic standards should be maintained. AND...we haven't yet determined if a person can have a mullet and still be saved. (Maybe if the fact that he's a Calvinist is thrown into the mix??? :rolleyes::cool::confused:) And now the...
