Wow, it has been a while since good ole Spalatin graced the pages of CF. And what's with all these changes. I liked CF and especially TCL the way it was.

Bennie was a good clarinet player. I like Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Stan Kenton. Even good old Larry Welk had some good music. ;)

What do you mean by revelations? I can understand a new understanding of God's word, but not a new revelation. God has revealed all that he is going to reveal to us through His Son and the Holy Scriptures. Please explain to me what you mean be "revelations". L1521

The one bible I would advise against getting is any of those which show a direct transliteration from Greek. If you are studying Greek use an NASB or ESV bible to compare it to, but don't use the transliterated version as it only tranlates word by word and doesn't give an accurate translation...

Right you are. The way you describe it is far better than anyone so far. Neither Justification or Sanctification are products of our own will but that we are instruments of the Holy Spirit to accomplish God's good pleasing and perfect will. Anything that denotes our participation of our...

From www.monergism.com Monergism: The view that the Holy Spirit is the only agent who effects regeneration of Christians. It is in contrast with synergism, the view that there is a cooperation between the divine and the human in the regeneration process. Monergism is a redemptive...

BTW... The word is Monergistic not monogistic. We do cooperate a tiny bit in sanctification but the amount we do is entirely by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

My apologies for the font not showing too well.

ai is pronounced like a long "i" ei is pronounced like a long "a" I don't know who taught you your greek but even the "Greek Tutor" pronounces these diphthongs the way that Luthernut and I have described. I would maybe consult your greek textbook if you still have it and double check it...

The verse in Greek reads like this: o!j ta>j a[marti<aj h[mw?n au]to>j a]nh<negken e]n t&? sw<mati au]tou? e]pi> to> cu<lon, i{na tai?j a[marti<aij a]pogeno<menoi t^? dikaiosu<n^ zh<swmen, ou$ t&? mw<lwpi i]a<qhte. The word i]a<qhte is the 2nd person plural form of the word from...

By and large the issue is two-sided. It is a matter of Christian Liberty. Those that do not do these things should not also condemn those who do.

I must ask forgiveness from you. I probably had not read the post you referred to. If you have said what you claim to say than I am off base and don't have an argument. I see some of what I have spoken of here at Fort Wayne and it is disconcerting to say the least. I know that my wife...

NO! You misunderstand the word Adiaphoron. To put this burden on others when do not feel it is wrong is what I am speaking of here.. If you feel the burden to do these things that is personal piety. Adiaphora are things neither prohibited nor commanded by scripture. We are not commanded to...

You mean Erwin doesn't warn you ahead of time that he is going to take the board down for updates? What's up with that?

If I were you stay away from that office. It is the most thankless job in the country.

Just remember that it is adiaphoron and not required. I know that many people feel they are being burdened by those who they see bow to a saint or even cross themselves at the mention of the trinity. It is a strong non-verbal message that is being sent and too often they don't hear that it is...

There is so much more to the WELS and LCMS not being in communion than you have even grazed here. Before you go trying to analyze this you should read more history so that you have a better grasp of why the WELS and LCMS do not commune.

This thread and the other one on saints has been interesting. My 2 cents on the subject is this: Saints can be commemorated and recognized for how they furthered the Kingdom of God in this world. We should neither bow to them nor pray to them. I think that anyone who says that Martin Luther...

The NIV is Zondervan, however the CPH Self-Study is Concordia. NIV is not a "Bad" translation" but it is not as good as others.
