321 | The Effort of Repentance | Prov 19:24 | EdB | 243309 | ||
Man will not truly repent unless they are convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit, John 16:8. Many downplay the Holy Spirit, citing instead the intellect of man, sufficiency of preaching, conditional yielding to the Holy Spirit. Many heed the words of man, cling to the words of man but fail to seek the leading of the Holy Spirit. We can try to blame man's state on many characteristics of man but it means little when proper importance is not placed on the Holy Spirit. Opinion most people don't repent because they do not see a need to repent. To be told by a sinning man they are sinful, slothful, or whatever alienates rather than convicts. However when convicted by the Holy Spirit they are certain of their need to repent. Throughout scripture we are shown over and over that prayer, not spicy sayings of man, not excellent preaching, not confrontational situations. But if we can't or won't yield to the Holy Spirit how effective can our prayer be? |

322 | The Word | Deut 6:20 | EdB | 243307 | ||
Yes I saw you cited a verse but that verse did not support the opinion being offered other than the fact they were both talking about God's word. You are taking liberties that you have denied others. That my friend is not treating others as you would have them do unto you. We all know your are a master at wordsmithing but that is not the purpose of this forum, it is to discuss the Bible. And often to effectively do that we must offer our opinion of what scripture says to us personally. Be that in conflict with your theology or not. |

323 | The Word | Deut 6:20 | EdB | 243304 | ||
No scripture? Isn,t this a violation of edict that without scripture is merely man's opinion? Tsk tsk | ||||||
324 | The Triune God of Christendom | Gal 4:6 | EdB | 243298 | ||
No supporting scripture Luke 6:31 |
||||||
325 | The Word Interprets Us | Heb 7:21 | EdB | 243297 | ||
Why is it you post without scripture reference but when someone does likewise they are called out for not using supporting scripture? Matt 7:12 |
||||||
326 | Christ Himself | Luke 19:10 | EdB | 243294 | ||
Once again a quote without scripture that explicitly states what is quoted, not good! | ||||||
327 | Intelligible Sounds | 1 Cor 14:7 | EdB | 243293 | ||
My thoughts exactly I hope we all learned that tongues are a genuine manifestation of the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor. 12:10. And those that deny it deny God's gitf and are foolish. | ||||||
328 | Intelligible Sounds | 1 Cor 14:7 | EdB | 243289 | ||
No scripture! Merely a man's opinion. Paul says he spoke in the tongue of angels 1Cor 13:1.. I guess Calvin thought that was foolishness. Paul also said to speak in tongues was to talk to God 1Cor 14:2 I guess Calvin thought talking to God was also foolish. So now this opinion sounds to be more than a mere man's opinion. But rather a foolish man's opinion. |

329 | Conscience | Heb 9:9 | EdB | 243285 | ||
Much better! Gen. 1:18b. :-) | ||||||
330 | A work of God's Free Grace | John 17:17 | EdB | 243283 | ||
Okay you first. No more scripture absent quotes. How about form now on any posted scripture must be the exegesis of a scripture or it is merely an opinion without substance. |
||||||
331 | Grace Admits No Partner | Is 59:6 | EdB | 243282 | ||
An opinion without biblical support. Point us to a scripture that says that. the Book of James seems to disagree. James insists that grace must invoke works or that free grace was never truly received. |

332 | 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? | ||||||
333 | 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. |

334 | 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. |

335 | 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. |

336 | Baptists | 1 Cor 11:2 | EdB | 243272 | ||
Why is it you feel the liberty to post quotes with not scripture cited. Are they not mere opinions also? | ||||||
337 | 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. | ||||||
338 | 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? |

339 | 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. |

340 | 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. |
