Let's try that again: 'Didn't want to' or 'didn't have a choice in the matter?' Please don't dodge.

(Cont'd) Now Christ appears in view of His enemies. Far above the city, on a foundation of burnished gold, is a throne. The Son of God sits on this throne, and around Him are the subjects of His kingdom. The glory of the Eternal Father enfolds His Son. The brightness of His presence flows out...

Quite to the contrary, I believe he was stationed in the glory right before the throne of God because He knew that it was the best opportunity for him to humble himself and avoid the rise of pride in his heart and the subsequent rebellion. God will doubtless be revealed as being totally...

I'm not following you here: Wouldn't one have to be alive to procreate?

hmmm, Greek dualism eh :D

Would not or could not?

I think I have been unduly harsh with you, and for that I am sorry, L_S. It was inexcusable. I hope you can forgive me. :(

When I was in the Air Force many years ago I had a supervisor who was a Latter-day Saint, He was one of the kindest and upright gentlemen I've ever known. He had a large family to care for, but he was never too busy to go out of his way (and he was very insistent) to help my young and sickly...

Hi, Aunty Well, my thoughts are that we’ve got an uphill climb ahead of us. I’m itching to further support my (admittedly historicist) view of Revelation 12 but I just ain’t a’ gonna do it because I’m determined not to turn this thing into a debate. So, I guess I’ll say a few things about...

Rank mysticism and doubletalk No child could understand predeterminism. Any gospel that is powerless to have mercy on sinners who had no choice but to be in eternal torments is strange fire kindled from the hellish torch of the adversary. And Ephesians 3 contains nothing to justify it.

Or you could help someone of your creed who's struggling, instead of just joining him in the cheerleading.

I press L_S because I want to see him surrender his will to God (which is what he wants also, but believes he must wait and see if God has chosen him as one of the elect) and experience the joy of the rest of true grace and peace in Jesus.

"Say it long enough, loud enough, and often enough and they'll believe it!"—Joseph Goebbels

Absolute, Babylonian madness And that is what I would have seen if I had read the entire Bible through Romans 9-colored glasses my whole life but I didn't do that so instead I see the Bible as a whole. And what the Bible as a whole says to me is: "God is love." Whereas the Bible as viewed...

Kinda sounds like failure, doesn't it?

Get me started with what? It's just another shill for Romans 9ism. Presbyterianism seems to be quite fragmented, from the information I've been able to find. What should have happened when I read the Q&A question? Should a rabbit have jumped out of a hat or something? What makes this worthy of...

I'd like to see what constitutes "mainstream Orthodox Christianity" today. The Seventh-day Adventist Church is preaching the Everlasting Gospel of Righteousness By Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ in 202 of the 232 countries of the world as a single, organized body of over 22,000,000 believers...

Praying for you, and you need to go to a hospital right away, Dear Lady.

Yes, and then they become "known," and then many are discovered to be only beliefs again. :)
