Subject: Titus 3:5 and washing of regeneration |
Bible Note: Dalcent and others, May I suggest that this and other threads are getting far afield from the purpose of this Forum, which is the study of the Bible, not Church history. We are not going to solve all the problems and division of the past 500 years of Christianity here. And we certainly should not expect to be convincing others of our poisition, nor should we be attacking one another. I find the best practice to be stating one's position and understanding and why and letting that satnd on its own merits, then leaving it at that. This whole argument began due the intemperate remarks of a person who is no longer posting. The blaze is still burning long after he was consumed by his handiwork. Perhaps we can get back to where we were before this started before we and the Forum meet the same fate. Emmaus |
