If you are correct in your doctrine and have confidence in it, then you don't have to resort to accusation at all. You just maintain your position and continue providing Scripture evidence. Giving "you" messages only increases defensiveness and causes a thread to become a tit or tat exchange...

A genuinely converted Christian will not lie, steal, and murder and still make it to heaven. Paul told the Ephesians that they were once like that, but not now. Also, Paul did not use the word "you" in Galatians 5:19-21, so he was not referring to the converted believers, but rather those who...

What's this "don't get crazy?" Too late! I already am! When I joined an Anglican church in the late 1970s the curate told me that in three weeks I would be as crazy as the rest of them, and it happened, and it never went away! The salvation process as I see it: 1. Accept that we are hopeless...

Those who base their views on unsound doctrine are the ones to resort to abuse and accusation. When all else fails the kick the player instead of the ball. As soon as you adopt an accusative attitude, you have lost credibility and therefore the debate.

What are Clavinists? Is Glenn Gould, whose recording called "The Well Tempered Clavier" one of them? I didn't think they deal with theological issues. All they did was play the piano in concerts!

In space, no one can hear you scream...or shout!

Elvis has left the building.

It is very true concerning the Roman Catholic church; and the Anglican church, though reformed, has retained the rituals, ceremonies and robes and crazy hats. Then we get the Presbyterian and Methodists who have robes and backward collars which are just a watered-down version of Catholicism...

Did you know that the ancient Egyptians worshiped cats as one of their gods? Wouldn't that make them the first Cataholics?

The more people argue with him and defend themselves against his abuse and accusations, the more he will do it. What many are going is giving him garbage to feed on. If you want to get rid of an infestation of rats, you may kill the rats, but if you don't remove the garbage they feed on...

The reason I come onto the forum is to have fellowship in our discussions and debates over Scripture meanings and issues. I learn a lot and have a lot of fun and satisfaction out of it. I am retired and I spend a lot of time at home, and it is a great way of keeping my brain alive during the...

A random verse out of context is never relevant to anyone.

His voice echoes around the empty room...

That is exactly what James says - faith without appropriate actions to demonstrate it, is dead.

Great. Have a good life.

Resorting to abuse and accusation destroys your credibility. It's all over.

Define your view of a continually surrendered life.
