You got that right! ;)

Sunday sacredness is losing favor rapidly among evangelical scholars. This began to take place in the mid 20th century. The prevailing opinion is more and more becoming that the 10 commandments altogether are but a Semitic relic, no different than the law of ritual atonement. The arguments I'm...

Me, neither, really. My point was that I don't think Bob sees them as authoritative but rather as supportive. :)

Maybe not so much 'authority' as consensus?

Sounds very traumatic. I'm very sorry you had to go through that. I went through very much the same thing (at least as far as I can tell from your friendly post) but when I came out on the other side of my "dark night of the soul" (I call it), I reached a different conclusion and stayed with the...

@Bob S I really like your signature, btw. "Cracked"--I love it! :p

Hi, Bob S! :wave: I notice from your profile that we're kinda neighbors. My family is from Roane County. I moved away after high school (joined the militry--you know, that's short for military-lol). About as good as the average bear, I guess. Beats me. Maybe God wants to spend a lot of time...

Winner, winner, Chick'n dinner! :)

I don't understand dispensationalism--the idea that God would have two different ways of saving people. I don't hate it, nor do I bear any ill will to those who believe it--I just can't understand it. And isn't that really what we're talking about here? Why would Revelation refer to Christ as...

It seems to me that the placement of figurative and literal expression adjacent to one another in prophecy is perfectly orthodox. :)

1 Corinthians 10:9 KJV: Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

Nice to see you're still here. :wave:

No opinionating is really necessary. And this is key to understanding Mrs. White's statement: If one does a study of the term "turn aside" in the Bible Ellen White primarily used (KJV), they will find that it nearly always refers to abandoning something that had previously been embraced...

But don't you believe Scripture is obsolete?

How did you arrive at that conclusion? :)

Most psychoses are caused by low-functioning of the pre-frontal cortex, where the capacity for empathy is contained. I'm not an expert, but I've heard it said that Jesus Christ had/has the most fully developed frontal lobe that ever existed. And that's not too hard to believe. :) .

Gotcha

There seems to be a logical problem here. o_O

It's not fun. This is why we do it: Ezekiel 33:6 Parallel: But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's...

No, it's the Bible that's saying it. :)
