Epistemology is a bit above my pay grade. "Absolute truth" is one of those encapsulations... Your prayer has been answered as far as I'm concerned. What is Word?

You're too kind. :)

When I was a kid I was taught the "theory of evolution." Have there been any breakthroughs to give it a promotion to "natural law?" Sometimes "adaptation" is seen as "evolution." :)

I kinda figured on a fair amount of that. Indeed, we do. :D

Quite interesting. I appreciate you sharing that, G2R. :) Let's hope so, anyway, eh? 'Salvation' is King!

I hold with Rev. Tucker.

You ain't baitin' me are ya, Ange?

Barny, or Qo, the Preacher (lol) here. @Aunty Jane and I thought we'd try to revisit a project similar to one she was involved in recently. We gave it a proper title, but I think we're just going to try to keep it as informal and nonrestrictive as possible. We've agreed to do our best to avoid...

I prefer not too evaluate doctrine by simply engaging in the genetic fallacy. Have you ever "really" looked at the Lord's words in John 17:5? And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. "I had" (eichon) is 1st Person...

Youbetcha, my Friend!

That's very cool. What good is good theology, if total depravity and unconditional election have one convinced they're lost? Not worth a nickel. Tinkling cymbal stuff. You'd better smarten up and repent. That's not judgment or condemnation, either. It's an appeal based upon your own testimony...

Love this, Mark! You have to have a Bible-shaped filter in your head these days. The YouVersion Bible app has a chronological reading plan that I love. If you listen to 12 readings per day, you can hear the whole Bible in just a month. I have to turn up the playback speed to about 1.5X to be...

The purpose of the Bible is to testify of Jesus, Who is eternal life (John 5:39, Luke 24:27).

What's wrong with Episcopalians? Don't they listen to enough Metallica?

I might as well chime in on this, FWIW. I've read more than a few treatments on this subject. I don't know that I agree 100% with any of them. But I know that God doesn't expect the fairer sex to clam up and hold it every time they walk into His House Of Prayer, just as sure as I know Jesus...
