Yes, different obstacles. Better to be a believer with mental illness than not a believer under any conditions.

Nowadays, it is even simpler. If you don’t agree with me, you must be a racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamophobe and make granny eat dog food.

I'm glad we have an understanding about the genius and righteousness of the man of the millennia, Thomas Jefferson. :)

Wholly supported in the Bible by Christians for millennia AND totally irrelevant to the validity of his words.

And this Ad Hominem has no affect on the validity of his words.

What verse in the Bible says that again?

It's so funny that rather than reply to this simple statement, at pollard turns to personal attacks. It shows the strength of his argument. That is, it shows he lost the argument.

This is a great thread topic. I doubt that I know the Psalms well enough to form an educated opinion. Sure, I've read the Psalms a few times now. 19 and 82 are 2 that I have focused on a bit for the last couple of years.

The wise theologian knew his Bible. Freedom in a political sense is somewhat possible but not in a metaphysical sense. Within our nature, we can be free indeed, but are still controlled, and therefore enslaved, by our nature, no? They promise freedom, but they themselves are slaves of sin and...

Similarly using just as straight language, the Bible repeatedly says Jesus is a man.

I hear a Quiet Whisperer who often talks 2-3 word bursts, a rhythm I recognize as not my own.

They don’t have eyes to see or ears to hear. To them, God’s law is restrictive rather than protective.

That’s the weight you put on witness testimony? Thankfully, God knows it has weight as well as every court ever.

Moving the goal posts. No one is talking about potential but the actual case. If Jesus actually does save everyone, without exception, then universalism is correct doctrine. People today are so lazy, they don’t want to even take hold of a life preserver when it is offered. And if they do, they...

A hallmark of sanity is, paradoxically, questioning your sanity. Those that don’t tend to be over-confident, which is irrational, the shadow of insanity. Self-aggrandizement is the most common form of mental illness. Most can talk about the flaws of others at great length. When it comes to...

Brother, you don’t have to have mental illness to suffer in the struggle to discern the Spirit world.

Sure they can! A modern translation makes this easier to understand. Yes, Christians have overcome the evil one but remain in his domain, this fallen world.

I have no idea what you mean that I am denying the saints. They are not God. I don’t deny the saints but I don’t pray TO them.

IMO, they’ve concluded the price is too high. Slaying the worlds largest IDOL, one’s ego is simply something most are not willing to do. Take all thoughts captive to Christ? Who is he? My own counsel will I keep - people seem to say. Of course people don’t believe a god superior to them could...

Not for but to. I pray TO God FOR other people. I don’t pray TO other human beings. See the difference?
