1 | Heb 6:4-6 What does it mean...? 6:4 | Heb 6:4 | kalos | 24899 | ||
EdB, my good friend: It is inaccurate to suggest that the score is 2 to 1 or that "this is merely how MacArthur sees it." No Calvinist would interpret Heb 6 to mean that a Christian can lose his salvation. Just as no Arminian would interpret it to mean the believer is eternally secure. So the underlying debate here is Calvinism vs Arminianism. Rather than being debated among 3 people in one century, this question has been debated by hundreds of preachers, teachers, scholars and students for many centuries. So it may be more accurate to say the score is 999 to 998. Will the forumites agree upon a solution to this question in a few days? I doubt that any 3 of us could agree on where to go for lunch. :-) Ed, I thank you for your carefully researched and well written postings. Grace to you, kalos |

Dear Kalos and EdB, Greetings in Jesus' name! I think the three of us could agree to eat at Denny's! In Yokohama. Their Eel over Rice (Unagi Donburi) is quite good! If you weren't up to 'fish,' you could choose the Rough-ground Hamburger with Grated Radish and Fungus (Arabiki Hamubaagu Oroshi Kinoko Zoe). Now, we can all agree on THAT! In Christ Jesus, charis |

Dear Kalos and Forum Fellowship, Greetings in the name of Jesus! My friend, I seem to have offended you! :-) I know what it is, too! A translation problem! According to a well-known expert who has spent most of his life discovering the truth of Japanese in English (and vice versa, too!), Fungus can alternately be translated as 'mushrooms.' However, after some truly exhaustive investigation, I have concluded that the only TRUE translation could be 'assorted Japanese Toadstools.' I understand fully the wobbly ground I stand upon, as our alternate expert in J-E and E-J studies is away, and 'searcher' may shed 'true light' upon this deep matter. When he returns, we will discuss this at length, and I am sure that with enough posts, we could conclusively decide that maybe it could be a totally different thing altogether! Just to make sure that I am not misunderstood in other areas, I feel it is necessary to add that hamburger is 'coarse' ground, not 'rough,' as previously stated. Also note that radish was translated from 'daikon,' a root of unknown origin. (think about that one :-)) Also, it has been brought to my attention that 'eel' may be 'misconscrewed' as being the salt-water variety of sea snake, but in reality is the fresh-water domesticated type, which makes all the difference in the world. If you have any questions about the 'fact' that we CAN agree on where to eat, you know where to reach me. Just write me at my personal address, and I will be glad to send you reaves of material that will certainly bring you over to my way of thinking. Oh, have we strayed from the Bible? (I guess this takes the prize, yes? :-)) Blessings one and all! I hope that a bit of humor can help you 'see the light!' By the way, we ate Turkey for Thanksgiving! A real treat in Japan. And not one of those 'big chicken imitations,' either. A real 18-pounder, with stuffing and gravy with all kinds of parts thrown in! We even found cranberry sauce! Have a great holiday season, my friends and colleagues! In Christ Jesus, charis |

My dear brother: Before you can possibly get at the true meaning of Fungus, you have to at least taste it. If you don't, then you are hardly qualified to make such bold assertions. And remember, to taste the Fungus is not merely to take a bite and sample the flavor. If you intend to taste it, you must eat every last bite on your plate. Uh huh! Happy holidays to you, too. kalos |
