interesting... the question I would ask then is what position do you see yourself in the one doing the casting, or the swine to which something is being cast?I had to chuckle about this. Stormy, I'm definitely not trying to make you mad - in your picture you look like you're pretty solid so I don't want you beating me up at an Alumni Weekend
But really the text came from the Lord. Sometimes a person realizes that something is futile aka "casting pearls before the swine" so you just stop discussing something with them. I have found myself doing that several times on this forum. Which is usually out of character for me. Must have something to do with T&O's email to me the first week I was here.
Just my two cents.
no not even = nope I don't agree with that, here is my take on this issue....Just for clarification. Stormy sometimes when you write "no, not even", I feel like you are discounting how I feel about something.
Anyways, that is just me maybe I have not read enough of your posts to get a real take on it.
Thanks brother!!
What's that supposed to mean? Was it postmarked, "Pearly Gates?"But really the text came from the Lord.
You missed the part about the dogs.interesting... the question I would ask then is what position do you see yourself in the one doing the casting, or the swine to which something is being cast?
true.... so who aee the dogs and swine, and who is the one casting holy things..... interesting....You missed the part about the dogs.
Christ was born of the Holy Spirit, not the seed of a man. Though not quite in the same format, He was made directly by God as Adam was made.
Could He have sinned? Its an age-old question. I say yes. He was, in all ways, like the First Adam before the Fall (The victory and overcoming life of Christ is in itself an establishment by God that the First Adam was not defunct or deficient when created, that he could've remained true, sinless, and overcoming before God!).
He was in human form God, yet He disrobed Himself of any advantages while on earth until He died. His power and wisdom came by the Holy Spirit which is why He said in Luke 4, "the Spirit of the Lord is upon Me" in which He would do the works listed there (heal the sick, set free those in captivity, preach the Good News to the poor, etc.). He truly experienced all that we experience, and He remained sinless.

Do you have a problem with that?And you are a "pastor"?

This question never was answered.
But I am going to assume, from various posts in the past clearly implying such, that we Progressives are the ones relegated to the pen where we rollick in the mire as those great jewels of TSDA wisdom plop right beside us unnoticed.
Life is hard when you have a snout, hooves and a corkscrew tail.
Yep.... T&O in my opinion read into something I said, and I offered my explanation as to what I meant.... MVA suggests a text, the implications are quite clear, and nothing is said... silence.... and that speaks volumes....This question never was answered.

I didn't answer the question because I am done discussing it. It is pointless and I don't see that there will be any gain in doing so - so I dropped it.This question never was answered.
