1 | A distinction without a difference? | 1 Cor 12:10 | John Pilgrim | 115138 | ||
Dear Ed, please don't take my post as "gotcha!". My intention is to take this opportunity try to get you to see how it feels to have beloved doctrines suppressed and your own motives impugned by brothers who hold opposing pre-suppositions. The Pentecostal doctrine of tongues has been discussed very often on the forum. It could easily be said to reflect a pushing of a denominational bias. Don't get me wrong Ed, I respect your right to engage in whatever aspect of Scripture which you believe will glorify God and lead to knowing God as He has revealed Himself to in the Bible. What I want to know is this; Why was my topic on election subject to censure, yet your topic is not subject to the same? ID# 114949 "John The debate you seem bent on perpetuating has been ongoing for 500 years. Minds greater than ours have not been able to reconcile various scriptures on the subject to the satisfaction of both sides. So what is the point? Are we so prideful to think we have the answer? This topic has been discussed and re-discussed on this forum with no results other than anger and hurt feelings. Many a good contributor has left the forum over what has taken place in the name of this debate. In the name of Christian unity I ask you and all involved to refrain from further debate on this subject. EdB Please Ed, tell how the discussion of tongues is within the guidelines, but election is a violation of the same. In hope of a resolution, John |

FYI : In 36 months EdB submitted 96 posts in which some form of the word "tongue" appears. In 23 months John Reformed submitted 198 posts in which some form of the word "Calvin" appears. With EdB active on the forum for 36 months and John Reformed active on the forum for 23 months and comparing average number of such posts per month, that's a ratio of 3.2 : 1 3.2 "Calvin" posts by John Reformed to 1 (one) "election" post by EdB. |

3 | POLL-liticaly Correct? | 1 Cor 12:10 | John Pilgrim | 115177 | ||
PS Hbr 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil If we did a poll using the name of our Lord "Jesus", and one member used it (on average) twice as often as the other, would that prove that one was more Christ focused, therefore a better christian than his brother? But let us act as mature rather than babes who cannot take strong meat. |

John: No, that would not prove that one was a better Christian than his brother. You make a good point. My sincere thanks to you for your patience. Grace and shalom, kalos |
