Well, I've been over to the Soteriology forum........

[motherprayer]

I've used the phrase "you have to have thick skin" before. I don't agree with that phrase any longer. Not everyone is made that way, yet everyone should have the right to ask questions and have conversations........ and the rules support just that thought. I'm starting to think Soteriology needs a sub-forum, strictly for Monergism vs Synergism. Let the combatants conk each other on the head in there.

You should suggest it! They created subforums for other types of debate before. I think its a good idea, and the would leave Soteriology open for other things!

I might have suggested it a few years ago, but I can't remember clearly. I'm getting old.

Just had to come back, some teen just posted some nonsense in GT. You're prophetic dude!

Now you wanna talk nasty, post in GT.

I don't post there at all.

It is ruled by Catholics and Eastern Orthodox.

Post your Protestant views there.

God Bless

Good luck with that one.

Several years ago I posted this in the Soteriology room:

I'm sorry folks, but this room has lost its meaning.

According to bible.org, the definition for "soteriology" is:

Soteriology: Salvation
By: Greg Herrick Th.M., Ph.D.

"The term “soteriology” comes from two Greek terms, namely, soter meaning “savior” or “deliverer” and logos meaning “word,” “matter,” or “thing.” In Christian systematic theology it is used to refer to the study of the biblical doctrine of salvation. It often includes such topics as the nature and extent of the atonement as well as the entire process of salvation, conceived as an eternal, divine plan designed to rescue lost and erring sinners and bring them back into eternal fellowship with God. Many regard it as the primary theme in Scripture with the glory of God as its goal."

http://www.bible.org/page.asp?page_id=730

I have seen that the shift has gone from what God has done for us, to, a focus on us.

The shift has gone from God's plan of salvation for mankind in Jesus Christ, to a debate on RT and God's sovereignty verses Arminian theology and mans free will and how he responds to it.

There is no soteriology here, I'm sorry.

The link is the first post in my thread, you guys should give it a read.

This was started in 2007.

Nothing changes but the date.

God Bless

Trouble is, I like a fight, which is why I often wade in over there. I find that the arguing keeps me mentally agile (ish) and I get to meet people who are in deep denial about their Calvinist beliefs, like MotherPrayer ().

By the way, I'll bet there are more pipe smoking Calvinists than in any other doctrinal mindset. That's why we're laid back.

 

[student ad x]

Reasoned argumentation, apologetics with a brother or friend for God's glory alone, I'm all for it The digging, baiting, false accusation/misrepresentation, flaming, slander etc. is another issue.

Ah, pipe smoking, puff puff, being able to enjoy simple things in life, like smell or taste.

 

[cygnusx1]

Capt Jack has me on ignore now. He flutters between Calvinist and Arminian beliefs and places himself in the middle (his own admission). Not a great place to argue from.

Hang on... was that MotherPrayer I just saw?

Take the step girl, take the step... (you know you want to ).

Capt Jack is legion , for he is many !

Personally I find the Adventists and spiritualists to be much more volatile and problematic in GT than those two groups I often find myself agreeing with them against the Adventists and spiritualists and while I disagree with the Catholics and Orthodox I don't find myself siding with the Adventists and spiritualists against them.

What's a spiritualist? Is that like a lone-star Christian? If so, I agree. If not, I wanna know lol

Quite a lot of the posters I'd identify as spiritualists are lone wolfers, they over spiritualise Christian faith, there's a lot of variety in what I'd include, anything from fierce statements of water baptism being unscriptural to radical new allegorical interpretation of the whole testimony of Scripture

Yikes! Well:
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Kinda makes sense to me now.
