I wish I could remember to answer "Sniff 'n' The Tears" when I run across the "What's your favorite band?" question.

Wow, I never made that connection. :oops:

Honestly, I never gave it much thought. I was raised Southern Baptist—quite dispensationalist, I believe, and tattoos were for sailors and bikers, and considered fairly scandalous. I was taught that the Bible strictly forbids it and in a backslidden state I did it anyway. Later my conviction...

Again, no doubt

No doubt I haven't a dispensational bone in my body. Not for the last 32 years, anyway. Being 'under the law' just means a condition of trying to gain salvation by the merit of one's own works.

My dad can beat your dad up.

If it weren't for the oppression from the British, we probably wouldn't even have the 2nd amendment, as it is written. Just sayin'.

These two statements are conflicting to me. How much sin is permissible in Christianity? The standard is perfect obedience. Our best will never be good enough. The Pharisees’ righteousness was not acceptable because it did not come from a regenerate heart. Essentially and spiritually...

We've been over this, my friend. The law that was changed was the law regarding the priesthood. It's as plain as day in the text. And it wasn't really even changed—it was replaced by the Melchizadek order. It has nothing to do with the way we practice stewardship of our bodies which are the...

and for dessert:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've heard it all before—'God is divided.' What about the 1,050 commands in the New Testament? Are we 'under' that law?

I rest my case.

Unless they were denied access to the tree of life. The absence of life is death.

The Bible teaches that people shouldn't mark or cut their bodies, but God-given liberty of conscience dictates that people choose whether or not to obey God based on their perception of what the Bible teaches, which is as it should be. However, Christians today like to say that "under the old...

You don't even remember, do you? No, I'm afraid the testimony of someone who would copy-and-paste a bunch of embarrassingly obvious lies from a hate web site and then run and hide without saying 'sorry' or even 'oops' when he was called on it, would not interest me in the slightest—thank you...

We read the Bible as though certain parts do not apply to us—that we have certain things covered or under control. Any appearance of purity in a denomination is an illusion. Men cannot keep other men clean. Religious liberty precludes it. Church discipline is and should be administered in the...

Daughter (bless her heart) made Haluski for supper! Oh, man, but this stuff sticks to your ribs! :D

Have you repented of and confessed your cowardice and lies? But the cowardly, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death...

The 'making too much of the metaphor' error. I just believe the Holy Spirit's power and versatility is a little more sophisticated than an on/off light switch. I don't believe He's limited to regeneration-or-nothing. The answer to the big question always asked of Calvinists is always...
