Perhaps if you had read my statement with a little less passion you would have seen I was echoing John 3:17-18 (NASB) 17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And I was not trying to sell a false religion. |

Dear Ed, I seek to avoid emotion in my posts, because it is always so easily misinterpreted. After all, it is hard enough to be fully responsible for what we are saying as it is. Nonetheless, if I am found passionate, I hope it will always be a passion for the revealed truth of our Lord God (Hebrews 1:1-2). As we will be judged for every idle word (Matthew 12:36), shall we not adjure, encourage, correct, and admonish one another (Titus 1:9) to always speak that which accords to sound doctrine (Titus 2:1; Ephesians 4:29)? For you may know what you mean, and I may know what you mean, but our communication is public, and there will be many who can do no more than take what we write at face value. Now, concerning the passage in John 3, we understand that it is not speaking of final judgment, but the judgment that took place on Calvary. All of the elect's sin was judged and the sentence carried out on Christ on that day. That is why, when we die, we go immediately into God's presence. We must always take every passage within context. Furthermore, we understand every doctrine by a harmonization of all that scripture has to say concerning that doctrine. In Him, Doc |

Perhaps that is your understanding of John 3:18 but in context with all of the New Testament that is not necessarily an accurate understanding. And oh yes your passion shows! |

Dear Ed, You wrote, "Perhaps that is your understanding..." Yes, no perhaps about it, it most certainly is, and I am not alone. I can cite the many sources if you like. Can you cite a scholarly source that interprets John 3:18 as negating final judgment? You wrote, "...your passion shows..." Perhaps I cannot contain it. As John Calvin once wrote, "A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent." Please pray for me that "His Word would be in my heart as a burning fire, and not shut up in my bones" (Jeremiah 20:9). I want to be consumed by love for my Lord, not simply cognizant of His revelation. In Him, Doc |

Give me a break I have already retracted and apologized for the confusion I caused both you and Beja. A misunderstanding you both cling to tenaciously and it seems that no matter what is say you want to continue beat the dead horse. My intent was not to negate the Great White Throne Judgement but rather my intent was to drive home the point made in John 3:16-18 now if you want me to supply sources for my belief on that point I will be happy. I will start with John the Apostle that wrote that passage and the book of Revelation that cite the final judgement. We both know your passion is not just the defense of God's truth but includes the defense of a certain theology that you have branded as correct and all others false. Enough said? |

Dear Ed, Your retraction is accepted, so consider your break given as requested. As to the other things... If in the SBF the deliberation of the Word devolves to the point where personal spleen carries more weight than careful exegesis, then it has ceased to support the sola scriptura principles on which it is based (2 Timothy 3:16). Lockman has explicitly stated those principles in the Terms of Use. Furthermore, the act of posting is a tacit promise to our host, and our fellow forum members, to uphold those principles in our each and every word. Finally, any hidden agenda fails to contribute positively to the principles of our gracious host (2 Corinthians 4:2), demonstrate respect to its members (Colossians 3:9; Proverbs 27:5), or honor our blessed Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 4:5). Regardless, in any meaningful communication, intent is less pertinent than what is explicitly written. As men who purport to serve a God who has revealed truth through words (Hebrews 1:1-2), let us love Him and one another by intending what we write and writing what we intend (Ecclesiastes 12:11, 14). In Him, Doc |
