    Well, I am happy for the modern post office in our town. :D Kind of small, though.

    Saved Without Hearing The Gospel?

    I've been laying off for a while, but this thread begs for good theology. First of all, no one has mentioned the protoevangelion, Gen. 3:15, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." With this...

    Must be a matter of perspective. You have your truth and I have mine. :Cool

    Charlie Kirk debates regarding the Pope & other

    @Cathode. I'm going to bow out. I simply don't have time to answer your extremely long screeds. Your post 26 to me was almost 1000 words, and very unsatisfactory. Today I have 18 exams to grade, two quizzes to prepare, two personal Bible studies to prepare, a book my editor wants another rewrite...

    Charlie Kirk debates regarding the Pope & other

    And I've been teaching church history for 11 years. Neither of our claims make us correct. But again, most of your quotes are irrelevant to my points. Why in the world would I try to convince you of OSAS? We're talking about Charlie Kirk and Catholicism here. OSAS is one of the most argued...

    Charlie Kirk debates regarding the Pope & other

    This is the philosophical error called begging the question. You state something here with no actual proof, then sit back and think you've won. But actually, your begging the question fallacy is based on a linguistic fallacy called the etymological fallacy, in which a word is assumed to carry...

    Charlie Kirk debates regarding the Pope & other

    I see that you are the kind of debater that seeks to overwhelm the opponent with tons of irrelevance. None of these quotes disprove my thesis about the origin of the Catholic religion. You missed my point, which was not that these practices did not exist before Gregory, but that he codified...

    Charlie Kirk debates regarding the Pope & other

    I don't maintain that there were Protestants or Baptists in the early church, only that there were independent churches. There were also no Catholics. This is easily verified by paying attention to the pastors who attended the council of 313. None were said to rule any other churches. All were...

    Charlie Kirk debates regarding the Pope & other

    Not really. The NT canon was already accepted by the churches long before the Catholic religion was started. Churches were all independent until AD 313--fact! It is impossible to prove a Catholic religion before then. Newsflash: there is no evidence whatsoever that Peter was any kind of "pope."...

    Number 666 explained

    These images did not exist in the first century, so they cannot be what the Apostle John was referring to. And there is no historical evidence that John did gematria.

    I've never read Joshua Harris. I think the Bible has some great principles for courtship, but none for "dating" as I did when I was young and our society (even Christians) encourages. In Christian college the leaders would say, "You gotta have a date for the banquet," and I always wondered why...

    Who is in Charge of Worship

    Good point. Actually our whole lives, every day all day, ought to be done in worship towards God. There are two main verbs in the NT "to worship." One is proskuneo, to physically bow down. The other is latreuo, which is to worship n the sense of "serve" (sometimes translated as "serve"). We...

    So, Harris taught you can't be saved unless you follow some kind of courtship model?

    You guys know what the dangers are of not being careful of what you post online. Here is a partial list of the fallout happening in the US to hateful people who rejoiced over Charlie's death. (As liberal as MSNBC is they even fired one!) Hospital Staffer, Virginia anesthesiologist, social...

    The one I shot was a genuine WW1 US Army weapon. Of course back in those days, the early 1970s, that was certainly a deer rifle.

    I get that. We just plinked to see if my roommate would buy it. Enjoyed the experience with the rifle, but you won't get me out there where a bear might attack me! Confused Though I was recently in the Smoky Mountains in a house where a black bear regularly came in the yard to rob their bird...

    Charlie Kirk shot minutes ago

    I'm thinking the assassin felt that guilt, since he discarded his rifle in the woods. But then again he had scratched his manifesto on the shells, so maybe that was planned. Bizarre, either way you look at it. Anyone else ever shot a 30 ought 6? A college roommate wanted to buy one, so we took...
