Subject: An interesting discussion/question |
Bible Note: Jamison :: I've read your posts. They contain a great deal about so-called soul sleep, a topic that has been treated of on this Forum a number of times and denounced as unscriptural for an equal number of times. Another fruit of my labors garnered from reading your posts is the distinct impressions that an inordinate number of them appear to promote Mormonism, another topic that has been treated of on this Forum and dismissed as being a cult promulgating another gospel than that which is laid down in Scripture. ....... This Forum subscribes to the reformed doctrine of sola scriptura, which by definition excludes other sources that purport to be divinely inspired, among which is the Book of Mormon........ You are arguing certain points of view freely, yet you cloak yourself in secrecy, even to the point of failing to divulge your church affiliation or to put as much as a single word about yourself in the personal profile section which is provided for all registrants. ....... You seem to embrace Mormonism. Are you yourself a Mormon, or do you believe and teach the doctrines of the LDS? You seem to embrace "soul-sleep." Do you believe that doctrine? ..... You accuse Doc, a long-time and respected contributor to this Forum of using bad logic, of misleading others, and of attempting to discredit you. He has done nothing of the kind. On the contrary, he merely is trying to juxtapose your opinions with what Scripture teaches so that all who read these pages may be enabled to compare your opinions and points of view with what Scripture teaches. I don't impugn your motives; I don't even pretend to understand precisely what they are or where you purport to go in your posts to this Forum. But I do kindly ask you to give earnest heed to what this Forum is about by refreshing yourself thoroughly on its aims and mission, and especially on its clear and specific guidelines to registrants....... A common thread that I've detected in your posts, including the response to Doc to which I'm attaching this post, frankly reminds me of something Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, with which I will close this post to you: "I am amazed that those who think so much of what the Holy Spirit can teach them often think so little of what the Holy Spirit has taught others." My 73 years of life on this earth, 59 of them as a follower of Christ, teach me to savor the wisdom of Spurgeon's words, and I commend them to your serious consideration also. --Hank |
