I think you have misunderstood the nature of this forum. The point is to ask Calvinists questions about what we believe regarding what the Father teaches in the Scriptures. Christians don't historically believe that the Holy Spirit is our personal tutor, but that the scriptures are the means...

Why? If God told you the truth, and you wrote some strange myth instead, you are a liar. Why should I trust anything you say about God? The accounts are written as history. That is the genre of literature. Historical family biographies.

With all do respect, what "poor translation" are you referring to?

:amen: A LOT! :eek: :blush: :sorry: Which is why I only wanna see that much (and more) of my Wife. When I am married. Not every girl at the beach.

Eh? :confused: What on earth are you talking about? Your use of candor in this context is rather unusual though. Threw me at first. You are using an older definition. Tact... maybe. Candor, no. :P

Yay!!!! :D

But it is just God interacting with humanity. All that sin stuff was a relic of their cultural understanding of God. Christ was opposing the religious dominions of the day! STICK IT TO THE CAESAR MAN BRO! Anyway, seriously: If you toss out in-errancy, you toss it all out. No basis remains...

Abraham's Bosom. Anther idiom. :P Lazarus was not lodged into Abraham's pectoral muscles. :D

I may have exaggerated a bit, but my Church is not sending money to the general assembly because of the national issue with ordaining homosexuals and others in wanton sin. Allowing the Father to be called mother, the son sister or daughter... yeah. That is abject heresy. PC(USA) -...

Anyone else?

You are completely conflating entirely different issues. I didn't say anything indicating "the Bible... [is] only 'idiom' when it supports the opposite view?" That sentence makes no sense. Do you even know what an 'idiom' is? Again, I don't think you understand what an 'idiom' is...

Well, I am a Conservative. By self Identification. I am a Reformed Baptist. Calvinistic, Covenantal, and Confessional. That sums up my beliefs in a nut shell. Since the forum has no rules yet, I do not know if this forum will allow liberals and conservatives to both voice their points...

< staff edit > < staff edit > < staff edit > < staff edit > Some did, some didn't. Those who knew him intimately, his parents, testified to the court of leaders that he was in fact born blind. And now he sees. Of those who did know him, only in passing apparently, some were shocked and...

And the goad kicking begins. When in the face of overwhelming scriptural evidence, the dishonest heart can only kick against the goads. When in the face of overwhelming proof that overturns any pet belief, the dishonest heart can only kick against the goads. Yes. The English word "hell" is...

Oh, good point. I just realized I was referencing Psalm 22:17, where Jesus quotes the first verse: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" "16 For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet &#8212; 17 I can count all my bones&#8212; they...

Jesus didn't go to hell. Otherwise, you are dead on.

I would name another: Laodicea. Their doctrine: Issues Involving God & Humanity- 1. Debatable. Non-Essential. 2. True. 3. WARNING! Heresy alert: Does God foreknow all that shall come to pass, including future free decisions? We affirm the omniscience of God with regard to the past, present...

God Willing. :thumbsup:

Then words don't have meaning. Eternal punishment can't be eternal if it is ended with annihilation. &#12288; Because the resurrection wouldn't make sense. And the word "punishment" (kolasis) implies torment. :doh: Eternity. Yes it does. Dan 12:2 says it will be: Ever-lasting shame. Sorry...

21 on Sunday. ;)
