Dude... What is the deal?

I was having this exact conversation with BByrd earlier today. Truth by process of elimination. Takes too long. lol

Come on, man. English is not our brother's native tongue. Ease up.

No, you, man. Don't flatter me, J. I'll get the big head. :p It just seems like folks are complicating simple stuff. I don't get it. I guess I'm just a triumphalist bigot or something. :eek:

Is it complicated?

Not jesting... I wouldn't be surprised at all. I'm well aware of dual meanings and triple meanings and quadruple meanings. They're everywhere in the Bible. I don't apply them without an eye single to the glory of God. IOW, I don't cross over into spiritualizing away plain statements in Scripture...

You're just copy-and-paste parroting the dispensationalist party line. There is only one Gospel—one Covenant that saves: The Everlasting One. Righteousness has always been by faith in a crucified and risen Redeemer. Heb 10:1-7 KJV 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not...

I thought you were relating it to @Wrangler. I know what Seventh-day Adventists believe. I rub elbows with them. A lot. Don't you mean resorting to insults? Fair enough. But maybe people like to curate their own collection of proof texts. It could happen. Baseless insults? Did I miss...

Well, now, that's a rib-tickler of a higher order than I've encountered in some time! Bravo! No offense intended, honestly, @Bible Highlighter. If we didn't like you, we wouldn't pick at you. :cool::p

Well, I was careful to say "basic tenets." :D

@Wrangler, Boy, you really pulled his chain, didn't you?

It was just a rib, BH; lighten up a little—you'll probably live longer. I'm pretty sure other folks don't take what you say nearly as seriously as you do. Not that what you say has no importance. You're helping me understand why he said what he did? :confused:o_O Do you understand what all is...

Were you in public schools?

World church has a convention every 5 years. People (mostly Americans) were allowing 'self' to creep into a discussion leading up to a vote of delegates on the issue of women's ordination to the ministry of the Gospel. It was heartbreaking. I'd say more but I've probably said too much already. :)

"He, he, he, him, his." What are you telling me for? All I ever talk about is the Sabbath, anyway. :D

You're on a bona fide slippery slope there. For certain bacteria, my eyebrows are a world. In fact, from what I understand, it's a jungle in there. :D

Sure, I get that, but didn't it start as an atheistic slur? I am very interested in the way that the constant state of flux in which language resides affects the pursuit of truth. Well, I don't know about finding out what logos is by process of elimination - lol

Not sure how useful that information could really be. Can there really be 50,000 different ways to interpret the basic tenets of Christianity? There's got to be some duplication in there. Just sayin'.

Headship is definitely not something I lay awake worrying about at night. Although, to be honest, my denominational structure has had quite a stir about it for the last 30 years or so. With some elements of both sides of the argument behaving quite poorly, I might add. What has been accomplished...
