. . I'm pretty sure advertising is a little more complicated than that nowadays, but folks are free to do as their divinely-inspired conscience dictates. . .

. . I try not to interfere with ads unless they actually inhibit usability. I don't feel right hindering businesses from generating revenue for their operational expenses. I feel convicted of theft. . .

. . What is so profoundly ironic about this thread is that the people who are coaching each other to steal revenue from the forum are the same ones who say we don't need the ten commandments to tell us what is right and wrong anymore—that we have the Holy Spirit for that. . .

. . Then you see what I mean. I'm in my own head too much. :D:p:oops:;) . .

. . Thanks for dropping by, @Wynona! . .

. . I'm such a weirdo. I worry that I might appear to be -liking- someone's post for the wrong reason. If you say "Amen!" and I -like- it, it's like I'm saying GO TEAM ME or something. I'm tellin' ya, I got head problems. :confused:o_Oo_O:confused::eek: . .

. . Purposely circumventing the source/means of operational funds for services used and encouraging others to do so... Does that seem to anyone else like something Christ wouldn't do? . .

. . This is so unfortunate. The disconnect and tension between title ("justification") and fitness ("sanctification") for Heaven will never be solved without integrating the Gospel into something more than a philosophical curiosity. The solution to the puzzle is Christ Himself. Christ and Him...

. . The ads generate revenue for the operation of the forum regardless, unfortunately, of their usefulness or appeal to individual members. It's just the way of things. Nothing that informs or entertains on the Internet is free. :( . .

. . Could it be possible to emphasize 'trust' to the detriment of grace? (Not that it isn't Christ Whose grace is sufficient to effect trust in us.) Just a thought. :) . .

. . You have me at a definite disadvantage. It appears that, of the most popular English translations, only the King James and the Catholic Douay-Rheims use the word "converted." I only just very recently realized the link between the two verses and didn't take the time to study it thoroughly...

. . Fresh, clean water is the appointed drink for man's thirst. It is the ultimate physiological elixir. I also enjoy fresh, pressed fruit and vegetable juices sparingly. Nothing from a cow and/or a factory, thanks. :D . .

. . Why do you always say you no longer argue with ____________, and then constantly start up threads that are seemingly calculated to precipitate arguments with ______________ ? Can you not see how disingenuous and antagonistic that appears to be? . .

. . What is a "sin nature?" . .

. . I'm not sure about the purpose of phrasing your claim (with which I agree, btw) the way you have chosen to do so: "The Resurrection is for all people (thank you Yeshua!)" ...as if this was good news for everyone. To those who have done evil, who are to meet with shame and everlasting...

. . For the record, since it seems to be the normative practice, I'll chime in and state my belief that the victory Christ gained over Satan on the cross (with regard to the devil personally—but also among other manifold purposes) was in taking back the dominion that Adam surrendered to him in...

. . I am indeed aware of the metaphor, that Paul tends to use them prolifically (always taking into account the particular minds he was reaching in his various epistles--1 Corinthians 9:19-23), and that too much can be made of them to the point that using them as proof texts, especially to...

. . Okay, so, since I rambled to Heaven and back on my other reply, I'll try to make this as brief as possible, since it is fairly simple (we'll see how that works out for me, eh?). The way I see this, apart from your astute observation that Luke 22 indeed contains prophetic utterance from my...

. . Okay, but I'm not at all sure you're not preaching to the choir here. With the slight exception that I would not characterize the gift of the Holy Spirit as a down payment. If a man is willing to do God's will, he is qualified to receive as much of the Holy Spirit as he truly desires, if my...
