Thanks T8!I don't have the time right now, but I do hope to make use of the new section in the not too distant future.

No other thoughts or interest?

In light of the debate between T8 and Is 1:18, I wonder if there would be a benefit to adding a “Biblical Debates” category in the “Scripture and Doctrine” section of the site.  It would be an area limited to formal debates about various doctrines, and there would be strict rules as to how that debate should be conducted.  The debates could e…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Jan. 18 2007,17:07)Quote Hi W,Jesus was conceived and born of Mary too. Conception involves two parties. Jesus was conceived in Mary just as John was conceived in Elizabeth.Sin resides in natural men though for sin to conceive and live in us we must submit to our natural lusts. All have sinned and fallen short of the…[Read more]

Quote Hi WIT,To help you get past this road block let me say rape is sin.Now what were you judging me for ?Why bother?Nick,It's good to know that you can discern evil from good in at least one matter.  This thread is about discerning whether or not Christmas is evil or good.  All other comments, in this thread, are useless “side alleys”.Quote Hi W…[Read more]

Is calling rape “evil” the same as “writing out a litany of sins”?  I have only asked you about two activities: rape and Christmas.  If you have a whole list of items in your mind, I did not put them there.By the way, do you judge Peter for writing out a litany of sins?1 Peter 4:”3 For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will o…[Read more]

Nick,A man who can not call rape evil has nothing to offer anyone.Yes, you seem to acknowledge that you have little to offer, but your 11,000+ posts on this forum tell us what you truly believe about what you have to offer.  Not even the creator of this website can come close to the amount of “clanging cymbals” that you have offered!True humility…[Read more]

Ah.  So you are here to tell others, “Go ask the Teacher”?  You have nothing else to add here?  Is that what you are now saying?

Quote Hi WIT,How long have we walked together and you yet do not know me well enough?I know you as a man of shadows who wafts in and out but I have always enjoyed, but not always not agreed with, your contributions.I cannot be bothered with the sideshows and distractions in the alleys we pass.Nick,We have walked together a few times, but I can't…[Read more]

Quote Hi WIT,Amen .We follow him.Why focus on evil?Because you teach on this forum and I want to be clear what kind of teacher you are.  Does your “teacher” reveal scriptural truths to you, or does your “teacher” reveal empty poetry?Do you call rape good?  And, while you are at it, do you call the celebration of Christmas good?Of course, you n…[Read more]

Nick,Interesting.  So calling rape evil is useless “moralism”?  Has your “teacher” told you that rape is good? You seem offended at the prospect of calling it evil.Quote Are you also a moralist who makes law for others?Do you want to write us all a litany of sin in order of seriousness?I do not make laws.  YHWH calls what is good, “good”, and as…[Read more]

Quote Hi WIT,Nonsense.Where have I said evil is good?Where have you said that anything was evil?Are you saying rape is evil?  How about Christmas?

Nick,So, in other words:Rape may be wrong for me, but it might be fine for you.  So, you don't want to tell me whether or not it is OK for you, because you don't want me to stumble?Quote Is God still counting your errors or are you in His forgiven family?Hebrews 12:”7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is…[Read more]

Henoch,Faith in the one true God, YHWH, is the oldest faith of all. It predates the “Orthodox Church” as well as all the other denominations you named.

Quote Hi WIT,The Spirit will not teach beyond what is written.What is written is love.Hey Nick,What does that have to with this:Quote Why ask you?Because I am interested in knowing what your “teacher” has told you.  Let's call it an exercise in “students comparing notes”.  How about it?Or this:Quote Let me ask you this question:Is rape wrong, (…[Read more]

Nick,Why ask you?Because I am interested in knowing what your “teacher” has told you.  Let's call it an exercise in “students comparing notes”.  How about it?

Is 1:18,Just in case you missed it, I asked this question on page 14 of the “Jesus Christ Is God” thread:Quote Why do you say that sscott's questions are only appropriate for a modalist?  Do you not refer to the “one” god that you worship with singular pronouns such as “he”, “him”, or “himself”?  Or, is it your position that whenever “God” is r…[Read more]

Nick,You are an amazing guy.Let me ask you this question:Is rape wrong, (i.e. displeasing to “YHWH”), or is it something that “the Spirit” will lead some to believe is off limits and others to believe is OK?If you can answer that question, try this one:Is the celebration of Christmas wrong, (i.e. displeasing to “YHWH), or is it something that “the…[Read more]

His substance being God Himself. There is abundant scriture to prove this as we have already…[Read more]
