Yes I lived the first ten years of my Christian walk believing I could slip and lose my salvation. Until one day God quickened 1 Peter 1:5 to me. I am kept by the power of the one who spoke the universe into existence, not by the power of me. The Lord showed me I am like a man who was drowning...

Yes that is the kind of election the Bible teaches and I strongly hold to. Thank you so much for your comments. John A. and others seem to be motivated under the premise that if we have the freedom to choose to receive Christ, then we will have grounds to boast in heaven. Is that your impression...

Here's a copy of a letter I sent to Grace to You. I have yet to receive a response. Perhaps someone who believes in election here would care to respond? Dear Grace to You, I am writing in the hopes you can help me. I have been listening to Dr. Macarthur's teaching on election (aka...

Are you willing to not only skew what people say in order to claim you have met what they asked for, but now you are also willing to commit historical revisionism just to continue feeling justified in your assault on the Bible? I plead with you friend, repent and receive God's grace and mercy...

Concerning the mainland town, however, Kenrick concludes : "That he (Nebuchadnezzar) took and destroyed Palae-Tyrus cannot be doubted, as it remained a ruin to the time of Alexander, and no other event than the attack of Nebuchadnezzar can be alleged as the cause of its being in this state."—J...

I have explained excessively why in this particular discussion, to prove common descent, only a finely graduated chain will work. All...repeat...ALL other arguments no matter how cleverly presented are rooted in similarity arguments. Again similarity can just as easily mean common creator as it...

I beg to differ. Here's a video I made on the subject.

Obviously that very small part of it I picked up from someone else and was not "my calculation." Now that we've strained at that nat what did you think of the camel that you swallowed?

588 BC Ezekiel predicts the following against Tyre: 1. King Nebuchadnezzar would destroy the main land city. 2. The debris of the city would be thrown into the sea. 3. The city would be scrapped clean like a bare rock. 4. Then many nations would come against the people of Tyre. 5. And that the...

A finely graduated chain would be an observable slow gradual change in each link from one major form to another. An entire chain but not one requiring every single generation. Just not containing large leaps such as a fish with only fins suddenly having functional legs or a dinosaur with no sail...

No I am merely saying the Bible describes special creation and the observable science actually collaborates with it. That's what you are not grasping here. We are in a discussion as to rather or not biblical special creation occurred. Not just a general discussion about how life might have come...

Its God's word. The word Bible isn't found anywhere in the Bible either. But I am sure holding a Bible. I pointed out the clear teaching and understanding of the text. An understanding that has existed among the Jewish people since the Spirit first inspired Moses to write it. Are you accusing...

No finely graduated chain presented... No comment. :)

I ignore it because I have never asked for thousands of "transitional fossils." Not once. I have however consistently asked for just ONE example of a finely graduated chain of fossils leading between any two major forms. A concept you consistently seem to intentionally pervert to mean something...

1:11-12 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree...

I didn't take Gould's statements out of context. At least not in the sense that I used what he said to mean something apart from what he meant it to mean. Who cares why he believes there are no gradualist fossils. The point is that's what he said is observed in the physical record. If Bozo the...

I see... your wanting proof in the negative. Your right. I can't prove leprechauns don't exist with magical powers either. The only thing I can do is demonstrate that to date no evidence has been presented for the existence of leprechauns and therefore I have no logical reason to believe in...

Yes but being from a population that is less than "HALF" the size of the population of a different population that likely didn't inter breed, would reasonably raise some big questions. Your attempt at making light of this is very telling. When are you going to quit running from God friend...

If we take the Bible at face value there are a number of things that can easily satisfy this alleged problem. This reminds me of people who claim the universe has to be old because...starlight. However I point out that the text says God caused the stars to shine upon the earth. They always scoff...

That's not true. If the so called creator said he created life last Thursday and that he never lies, but we see life was "intentionally" made to look like it began many billions of years ago, then such a creator can be demonstrated to be false.
