We'll agree to disagree on the doctrine. 1- The Biblical doctrine I find most odious and distasteful is tha there is an everlasting Hell for anyone, let alone the majority of humanity. 2- I stand by the doctrine and could give not only a Biblical but even a solid defense from the other 2...

THE first question for us to decide is always: will you trust God? It is the subtle question behind the serpent's question to Eve: "Has God said...?" as Eve had NOT heard God command regarding the tree. The serpent was in fact first dividing that which God put together: Eve and Adam (actually...

I am changing the OP. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for clearing up which Piper!!!

The grass always does seem greener on the other side. Perhaps you would feel different if you were made responsible for providing and protecting, for being willing to lay down your life for your wife. Perhaps the next time a seriously dangerous situation threatens you would like to step...

Jack, God did make 48 hour days. Here's a riddle: if you stand on the Earth's driest desert, where the largest amount of the purest freshest water can be found, you can have 500 hour days. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego now? (hint, it aint Califonia). Truth is a rococo masterpiece...

The reply to a JW is especially effective while they have a hamburger in their mouth. Love your "food for thought" comment! JR

Also thanks from me, I am finding these sources quite helpful as well/ JR,

When I was an agnostic, based solely on my understanding of science at the high school level, I rejected any possibility of stars forming from gas (PV=nRT), the formation of biological active macromolecules from inorganic precursurs (chirality) and any form of macroevolution (chromosome number...

I just learned that: I AM A TOTAL IDIOT!!! Not John Piper, please excuse my error. I had previously written: popular S. Baptist preacher/author John Piper claims he spent 90 minutes in Heaven. There's a book and an upcoming movie by that title. In response to this and other "Heaven...

The last time I attempted to type on this subject my time grew short due to work problems and I had to exit the forum for a long while. At this time I am again not prepared to lay out a methodical case either. So this is something of a drive by posting; as the subject would take quite some time...

We can agree on this, or disagree, so long as we add nothing to salvation. I agree with you Fred on the basic. Of course the 3D printer is not now realistic. My point is that given a few thousand years of a perfect society, it COULD be an anwser to providing meat without killing animale. That...

before going to Scripture, let's go to Burger King Any JW who eats at any non-Kosher restaurant is breaking the Noahic and Mosaic covenant and needs to shut up. As to Scripture, this is handles amond us fundys in 2 very different ways. Covenant theology which is typical of Presbytereans...

None of the Bible passages at all imply a flat Earth. Some are translational ambiguities, such as Isaiah 40. In ancient Hebrew there was no word for sphere, the word "circle" is used and in fact is the closest that language had to a roughly spherical object like the Earth. It should be noted...

tried to find in itunes 4 times in different ways, search results would only yield elementary Greek by him, and title yoelded nothing. I am not apple savy, sorry. JR

When looking at tongues it is most important to look for thrush. JR

went to website, all I see from James Voelz, is elementary greek, not "Principles of Biblical Interpretation shows up for me

Doubted their canonicity yes, and certainly thought they were inferior in doctrinal value. However, Luther did include them, though placing them at the end. More than that is a matter for you Lutherans to debate but, pun intended, not Germane to my OP. As you stated, Luther was fairly clear...

Mr Caner, my first name is Jesus, and I am the first born of Jose and Maria. It is me who disturbs the peace of my Church by saying things like "I'm here to worship the other Jesus." My pastor used to be a very athletic man who through a rare disease not of his fault is in a wheelchair...

1- Holds in fellowship is what I meant. 2- I respect your ground rules and will try abiding by them. I do not operate the same way, but perhaps that is why I spend so much time in pointless arguments. I would like to proceed with you as per your stated methods. When I wander off the lines...

1- I have ammended my post at the Caner's suggestion. 2- The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy summarizes my views very well, if you wish details. a- I believe only the original documents were inerrant. b- I believe the contents of those documents are recoverable today with an...
