301 | Live in Peace with one Another... | 1 Thess 5:13 | EdB | 243281 | ||
Why is it okay for you to post a quote that contains no scripture nor does it specifically point to a scripture, but when one comments or rebuts that quote you want to insist they supply scripture? | ||||||
302 | A work of God's Free Grace | John 17:17 | EdB | 243280 | ||
My point is while you may stand on various works, remarks, quotes of man they do not supercede scripture. The discussion on instant sanctification versus an ongoing process has been discussed ad nausium without resolution so what is the point? Your attempt to establish your postion as dogma through the use of a quote is a falsehood. You give a quote that contains no scripture but you try to demand any rebuttal must contain scripture. My point both sides of this discussion have their favorite scripture that appear to support their position. Hence the reason for no agreement on either side. |

303 | Baptists | 1 Cor 11:2 | EdB | 243279 | ||
Quotes from established and respected theologians and Bible scholars on Biblical subjects are usually edifying and encouraging. However when a quote is a slam against another accepted denomination or their teaching, they are merely opinions of man and to post them as an innocent quote is wrong. My concern is this is becoming a common occurrence. |

304 | A work of God's Free Grace | John 17:17 | EdB | 243273 | ||
Ah you want proof texts. I stand on the the whole book of James. That is the problem pulling one verse one precept opens the door for easy rebuttal. But when we apply any verse in light of all scripture then the rebuttal is not easily made. Cultist love for Christians to cite scripture, they study that scripture and have an rebuttal for it. But when made to take all of scripture then their arguments fall apart. Calvinist and the rest of Christianity had been at odds for hundreds of years. I'm sure you a good Calvinist has a response to every verse I may cite. As I have to any verse you cite. What we need to look at is the whole scripture. God has a plan for the church and I'm certain that plan does not include one Christian denomination putting down another because of their differing theology based on their interpretation of scripture. |

Why is it you feel the liberty to post quotes with not scripture cited. Are they not mere opinions also? | ||||||
306 | Live in Peace with one Another... | 1 Thess 5:13 | EdB | 243269 | ||
Actually there is a third peacemaker, he is the one that brings Jesus into every discussion. Only Jesus can bring true peace all else is man misinterpretation of what peace really is. | ||||||
307 | A work of God's Free Grace | John 17:17 | EdB | 243268 | ||
Grace will not manifest in a man's life without man's effort. Sanctification is a walk that a man must make. Each day of my life God reveals to me another way I can be more like Christ. Without that teaching along with my desire to improve I would be like the I regenerated man I once was. James is teaching us that while we are saved by grace we still have to walk the path salvation leads us on. Failure to do so makes us useless to God's service into which we have been called. As to answering my question either Biblically orthodox or in a way that satisfies my views. In other words your interpretation of scripture is the only correct way. And the Reformers were wrong when they said each man was capable of getting the correct interpretation of scripture himself. I don't think I hollered but but I said with the teaching you just espoused how did it related to the Book of James? Where is the work aspect of the Christian walk manifested and why? |

308 | Baptists | 1 Cor 11:2 | EdB | 243266 | ||
I don't think I declaimed anyone to the hall villainy, I just pointed out that they were mere mortal men like you and I. They did not speak nor did most of them claim to speak infalliblily they offered their opinion. Some were more qualified than others but what they said was no more than their opinion. Their fruit in many cases of the latter produced a church that is neither cold nor hot but rather lukewarm. They unleashed a tolerant but less holy church. Some would commit a dead unbaptized still born infant to hell for eternity but allow a practicing homosexual, divorced, transgender in pulpit to preach God's holy word. Man has many faults and following anyone man or any specific group of men other than Christ himself leads to destruction. Paul says if any comes teaching a different gospel they are false teachers. Many use the name of God in attempt to make their counterfeit look genuine. A perfect counterfeit twenty printed on a brick would instantly be seen as counterfeit, that same fake twenty printed on authentic paper would fool many. Same way the teaching of many they know if their message sounds like anything but from God it will not be received. So they carefully frame it as Gods speaking in attempt to profit from it. The names you mentioned are all known because of the size of the impact of their transgression. But I submit to that there are thousands that stand in pulpit yesterday around the world supposedly preaching under the anointing of God that are not even saved. They have no idea of salvation because they never experienced it. Even worst many live in open sin and their sins are winked at by the church and their denomination. Some even deny the Holy Spirit. How many more do they impact than all these you listed. |

309 | Theology | Ps 108:5 | EdB | 243263 | ||
Theology is the critical study of the nature of the divine. It is taught as an academic discipline, ... Wikipedia The goal of theology is try to understand God, God's nature, His precepts, standards, laws, commands, teachings, statues, and ways. God is glorified when man does this correctly but when man tries to form God in Man image God is no longer glorified. Unfortunately many under the guise of Theology do try to mold God into their doctrinal beliefs instead of studying what God really said. Today many use the term Theology to leverage their position in an attempt to make it appear superior to another's. God is God. Man's explanation or theology of God does not change that fact. |

310 | Where to find Bread | Luke 3:18 | EdB | 243262 | ||
I assure you that when one beggar tells another beggar where to find food it isn't with patience. It is done with excitement! When a person is first freed of sin he doesn't use patience to tell others he wants everyone in the world to be free. Most old church "saints" stand back and shaking their head at his exuberance, watering his parade until they finally get him as "patient" as them. Throughout the Gospels we never once see an Apostle being told to be patient after they were filled with the Holy Spirit. In fact just opposite they preached when patience would have been wisdom to man. No when a beggar finds food he shares his find with other with excitment and celebration. The greatest evangelist I know we're given a view and sense of hell. They rush into the world and tell any that will listen they have found the escape route. They are the type as they say "you would have shoot them to shut them up." They don't look for reward, pay, fame they want to tell others that Jesus is the way. They never use patience to do that. |

311 | The Seriousness of Sin | Ps 1:5 | EdB | 243261 | ||
Scripture has the correct and strongest view of sin. It is the idea we can be involved with sin and still be holy that has weakened man's true view of sin. Scripture never suggests that yet man in his "wisdom" has made holiness God's problem while man is free of all responsibility. In the story of prodigal son we see a man make decisions to live with the hogs. It wasn't until he decided to take responsibility and turn back to the father that his life changed. |

I think every denomination believes and teaches that. History is easy to manipulate if you snip here add there and ignore this and emphasize that. |

Where does the Book of James fit into that concept? And how? | ||||||
314 | You Can Easily See the Difference | 2 Pet 1:21 | EdB | 243251 | ||
This excellent! And something many forget or ignore to their destruction! | ||||||
315 | No Agreement on the Definition of Libert | Acts 20:29 | EdB | 243248 | ||
Wow if Lincoln did say that he missed it. The story says nothing about the definition of Liberty. I speaks pnly to the sheep's and wolf's perspective of the shepherd. Their definition of Liberty was never discussed. |

316 | Evangelical Defined | Acts 21:8 | EdB | 243241 | ||
Others define evangelicals as more conservative as compared to mainline or more liberal groups. Others define Reformed (Calvinist) and non Reformed (evangelical). That is the definition I tend to go with. I tend to see Calvinist (Reformed), Mainline ( liberal) , Evangelical ( conservative). I see the Evangelical as made up of Full Gospel, Fundemental, Pentecostal. Reformed denominations seem to have the word Reformed in the name, Reformed Presbyterian, Reformed Baptist etc. Mainline are the churches like United Methodist, Presbyterian, Southern Baptist, Wesleyan, Lutheran and etc. I see rhe Evangelical Churches like, Full Gospel, Bible Based, Independent Baptist, Most Pentecostal, and etc. There is also the orthodox churches such as Angelican, Episcopalian, Greek/Russian Orthodox, Catholic and etc. It is hard to group them the biggest differences I see are Liberal versus Conservative or Fundemental, Calvinist and non Calvinist, Pentecostal and non Pentecostal. Whole scripture versus New Testament only, Trinitarians versus oneness or Jesus only. I think the 6 points above would better define a Christian not what Christian theology they follow. |

317 | Giving All to Christ our Only King | Ps 25:3 | EdB | 243238 | ||
Messy interesting word! This was murder committed by those that claim Sola Scriptura. Yet Scripture never suggests such action. That is my point Sola Scriptura is only claimed when it will serve the purpose of the one that claims it. The concept of Sola Scriptura itself is without support in the very scriptures it claims are the only guidelines to follow. Do I think we should ignore Sola Scriptura? No! But rather than use it as a weapon it should be used to resolve denominational disputes, instead of justifying splitting and forming a new denomination. Jesus prayed for the unity of the church and Sola Scriptura is used to justify divison within the church by those that refuse to seek unity instead of their theological position. |

318 | Giving All to Christ our Only King | Ps 25:3 | EdB | 243237 | ||
I totally agree mysticism of hearing voices and seeing visions is wrong. The Holy Spirit may give us dreams or visions as scripture says Acts 2:17 but what is revealed will ALWAYS be within the boundaries set by scripture. No mysticism involved only God's will. |

319 | Pray for the Lost and Misled in Africa | Ps 12:2 | EdB | 243236 | ||
I have not doubt men do try to exploit others on every continent ion the name of Christ. Do I condone it? Absolutely not! How will it be viewed in the future? Unless the rewriter of history change our history as they have the history of the Reformation I would expect such behavior to be condemned in the future as it is now. I do pray for the misled, here in America and everywhere I the world. I especially pray that those that have been told they can live in as the world and still be saved, that they can't lose their salvation will have their eyes open to the truth. |

320 | Calvin's Letter to Men Facing Martyrdom | Rev 17:6 | EdB | 243235 | ||
I took no elevated view of Servetus I merely pointed out Calvin's ability to talk on martyrdom from a participants point of view. Since he was very much a factor in Servetus' martyrdom. Wonder what Hermenutical method Calvin used to justify burning a man to death? |
