Sure. And it is time to take a break.

Sad Shep. I asked you an honest question, and then dang, judgement.

1John 2:1 My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 1John 2:2 He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. 1John...

In context : 2Tim 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2Tim 3:2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 2Tim 3:3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without...

I am not as good as you regarding the ECT's, I only studied Origen and in particular his theory of pre-existence. Marta (the author) rejects Origen out of hand while she should at least have mentioned the theory because it answers the question of original sin, her chosen topic. In a nutshell...

Needed 5 minutes to question the objectivity of the author and looked him up. This is a quote of the author of the video - Dr. David Litwa - It took me three years of college to realize that one needed to, frankly, become an atheist. I needed to recognize that much of what I grew up with was a...

Please explain what you mean by "inclusivism" and how does your definition of "inclusivism" apply to Epi and friends. Thanks in advance.

This is what I said - 1. A&E had a choice, we don't. 2. We are not created as an adult in Paradise living in the wonderful presence of God with just one simple commandment. You never wondered why you did not have the same chance as A&E ? I am sure the Lord had a very good reason you to be...

BTW, years ago I read this paper We were all in Adam, it's about the various ways the ECF's thought about original sin. What attracted me most are some of the bold statements some ECF's made. I think you will like it.

sml I read the link you provided, thank you. It's (like original sin) not satisfying, the differences I listed between A&E and us are really huge, and so I asked myself why, mainly why did you (I and everybody else) did not had the same chance as A&E? Ever wondered about that question? The...

Matt 16:1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they asked him to show them a sign from heaven. Matt 16:2 He answered them, “When it is evening, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.’ Matt 16:3 And in the morning, ‘It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and...

By the example of Gideon I once asked for a sign and the good Lord provided. So signs are not only for unbelievers.

As you can see I skipped your usual Lizbeth rant and only want to comment on this one. Was Gideon an unbeliever when he asked for a sign and got it from the Lord ?

Issue : original sin, sin nature. Depends who you ask. Augustine - nagging, pushing, persisting selfish babies who insist the mother's breast. Paul - Efez 2:3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature...

Absolutely true your last sentence, victory over many sins if you allow the Holy Spirit to reprogram your conscience in accordance with the written Word. I will try to say a bit about the issue of original sin in your next post, will be long.... :Broadly:

Likewise, as a babe in Christ the book changed my spiritual life, a new world opened, I could not stop reading. But as a babe it was hard, I remember the chapter about Romans 6, I did not understand, but reading it again and again till I got it, well a bit.

Hi, a lightly joke - One day a group of Darwinian scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one Darwinian to go and tell Him that they were done with Him. The Darwinian walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no...

Et tu Brute ?

I am sorry, but you can not force me to read every post of him. One big block of text, uppercase mixed with lowercase, a pain for the eye. I hardly read his posts because of that and when I do I am lost after 2 or 3 lines. We have been there, I don't like to rehash. But notify me when he does...
