I didn't say you did—read carefully. Anti-denominationalism sentiment—par for the course on online Christian forums (an easily-accessible haven for the unchurched and other like-minded folk). Agreed, but not relevant. All people are (or should be) humanly sensitive and empathetic. Either...

The disciples also did miracles—they weren't God. I'd say bringing someone back to life is wa-a-a-a-a-ay cooler than walking on the water. This is what happens in these arguments about the Godhead. It's exactly what Paul warned about. Not everything that's true is worth contending for.

So New Testament (Covenant) commands do not have to be obeyed—got it. BTW, the ten commandments were never designed to save anyone, so that straw man argument is in the circular file. All that "newness of life" jazz is just twisting of Paul's words to provide a self-deceptive loophole for...

What does "part of the key" mean? So anything that provides material for testimony is ok? That doesn't seem like a good rationale to me, F. If someone goes downtown and burns up an apartment building full of people, and then while in prison hears the Gospel, turns his life over completely to...

It was called "Certainty In An Uncertain World."

No argument here. The sermon at my church on Sabbath was about 1 John 5:11-13. :)

You missed my point completely, or did you? ;)

I know I've got a long way to go.

We'd better hope so, hadn't we? ;)

Interesting how people seem to practically assume that all members of "cult" organizations were born that way. I was a Southern Baptist for 18 years before I realized they were (probably unintentionally) teaching me lies and half-truths. It's also peculiar the way people can't seem to resist...

And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. (1 Corinthians 8:2) There's always the possibility that it is God's will for you to learn that your "puppet show" characterization is a lie. :)

@Aunty Jane Sorry, but I don't like the turn this is taking. We're not communicating very well at all and it seems like you're correcting me for things I'm just not even claiming, and it's just getting too messy for me to sort out at this point, so... :( It was worth a try, I guess.

Yeah, it's not like you're gonna miss anything contributive to a discussion. :rolleyes:

I'm just awful sorry to hear about that, GH.

Man, sakes alive! Jim B is so obnoxious and cold-hearted that I can't even stand to read what he says to other folks. I almost never flip the -ignore- switch on someone but he's just got to go. Bye, Jim B!

That's just awful, Sis. I'm so sorry.

This "research" was done by this organization which, by it's own admission: The Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization is devoted to theoretical and empirical research concerning economic decision, organization and behavior and to economic change in all its aspects. (bold print not...

This thread was inspired by a thread started by our Sister, @Angelina called: What Song Makes You Instantly Happy When You Hear It? So, what name would you like to give to a band if you were to start one up? I already thought of a few: Horatio And The Bobby Pins Dust Bunnies Social...

I think I'm gonna start a band just so I can give it a goofy name like "Horatio And The Bobby Pins," or "Dust Bunnies," or "Social Distancing." Hey, let's have a little derail and list weird new band names. Or, better yet, I'll start a new thread! That would be a nice, rule-compliant idea... :D

I'd just as soon have a society without offensive weapons of any kind. But people will always find a way to fashion one. And think the time for practical eradication of firearms, both politically and logistically, is long gone. I also think that, while regarding people's free speech, Christians...
