Featured Sabbath

So how do you explain me not being a Calvinist, and the fact after reading many posts, you to be the central problem in all of the angry posts that go back and forth.

 

You are definitely NOT a Baptist. You have been asked several times what distinguishes you as a Baptist and every time you have ignored, even when moderators asked you. You have more beliefs consistent with JWs, 7DA then you do with any Baptist of any denomination. One can not be 90% 7DA, and 10% Baptist and claim they are actually a Baptist.

And you claim that "there's nothing wrong with saying the name of the Father and Son in the Hebrew in which they were given..YAH and YESHUA" is not the position you have taken against everyone on this forum. You have not espoused that it is OK to use the name, you have INSISTED that it is MANDATORY and that's a huge difference between that, and what you just said above.

There is no problem with using those names as long as you realize they are translations and transliterations from another language, and that it is not mandatory on all believing Christians to use those terms in their original language context because no matter how you translate lthem, it will never MEAN that outside of the language that you THINK IN. If you can not THINK in Hebrew, then simply using a Hebrew will not aid your understanding because you will THINK of that term in ENGLISH.

However there is a problem with your usage of YAH as the Father. Yah is a shortened version of Yahweh (YHWH) and is used to described the Godhead, not just the Father. By claiming that ONLY the Father is YHWH you are denying that Jesus is YHWH. Yah, nor Yahweh is the Hebrew word for Father.

I would not fault you if you choose to use those terms and they are edifying to YOU. It is when you demand and impose those terms on others and assume that if they DON'T use those terms they are somehow less of a Christian and being rebellious toward some standard of Scripture that does not exist. In Revelation 7:9, there appears in heaven all who came from various nations, people and TONGUES , not all of them used the same name for God as the Hebrews or English speaking people.

 

Very GOOD POST:thumbs:

EDITED TO SAY: I really know what HisWitness's beliefs line up best with, but if he really believes Jesus is Michael the archangel (not just asking because it's a curious verse), then he has some serious theological problems.

 

I would explain that it is merely your opinion.

I would also explain that out of your whopping 23 total posts, half of them directed at ME is quite suspicious.

I would explain that it takes 2 to dance and if you are non Calvinist, then you shouldn't believe that I FORCED someone else to act out of character

 

Yes everyone on the board knows I sent you the pig. I got an infraction and everyone knows that. Why don't you shut up and let it go.

By the way, on a subject related to the pig, you claim to be a Christian. If you are a Christian, and recognize the NT as sacred, why would the picture of the pig offend you, as if you have ever bothered to read Acts, it makes it quite clear that all meat is good and of the Lord. So what is your problem?

 

You mean "let it go" in the same that you follow every thread I post on and bring up the plagiarism accusation out of the blue? I'll let it go when that pig you sent me flies

 

Why don't you answer my question, why did the image bother you if you are a Christian? Simple question. Not rocket science.

 

Because you know good and well the issue is not whether I eat pork or not as a Christian, it was sent to me to make fun of me for being Jewish and the insult was implied in the caricature of the context in which you sent it. It was the racist implications that were offensive.

 

But it is not racist or offensive to make fun of people on this board that live in the South, which by the way, you know nothing about. Since we are not privy to another poster getting an infraction, I have no way of knowing whether you got one or not, but you deserve several at this point.

However, that is not the point, those in Christ no longer are guided by their former lives. In Christ, Jew and Gentile are the same, subject to the same Spirit. You have no justification for that image bothering you, if you are who you say you are. None whatsoever.

 

I never made fun of anyone because they were from the south. I used links as an example of what KY was doing to me to prove that he was in fact using the same kind of logic and methods that could be taken out of context against him and you.

Furthermore, you have equally no justification in bringing up an issue of plagiarism that you can not prove every time that you want to attempt disparaging my credibility among other believers, and then in the same breath complain that I keep raising the issue about your pig post, or the fact that you don't answer how you can be a Third Class Petty Officer with an E-3 ranking. You expect me to do what you do not practice.

 

I did no name calling. I quoted a line from a movie and named the movie. I even put the trademark at the end of the name of the movie.

 

I have no idea what you are referring to, my rank in military service. It was neither of those, quite a bit higher as a matter of fact. The point is, it was service to this country, which you are not a part of, and is really none of your concern or business.

 

Is that how you explain Acts10: 11-13?

 

Isn't it strange that God said "rise peter, kill and eat" and HW says God did not mean consume?

Yea, has God said?

 

There are several problems with your answer. First of all, I did not give a false answer, I asked a question. Secondly, does not God tell Peter to get up Peter, kill and eat? So, does your Bible add the prepositional phrase after eat "with Gentiles." Mine does not. Thirdly, how well do you observe the dietary constraints of the OT?
