Yet another Calvinist with their change the subject ratchet. I am an oppressor, according to the subject changing charge, rather than a messenger of truth, presenting the gospel of Christ. God desires all people to be saved in accordance with His redemption plan. That is why Christ laid down...

Which sounds more like the Liberty Bell? Soul Liberty allows us to believe whatever we want within the confines that we cannot, without supernatural enablement, believe in Christ. Soul Liberty allows us to believe our bible rather than the dictates of religious hierarchy or government...

If you are tagged out at second rather than third, the base is different but the result, the stumbling block is still an out.

Thanks, for your informative posts (18 & 19)! I think we can summarize, some people in authority subvert the laity with deceptively introduced destructive heresies, and in the time of John, were called Nicolaitians. It seems possible some perverted the apparent teaching of Nicolas to control...

Speaking of Traditional Baptists, let us move forward to the Emigrations of English speaking European Pilgrims. A number of years ago, I gazed down upon a "rock" said to be the "Plymouth Rock" of historical fame. I had never read, or even skimmed "Of Plymouth Plantation" written by William...

Good Grief! They were once not a chosen people, cannot be rewritten as once they did not know they were a chosen people. Please stop with your monkey wrench.

How would you know? Are you saying both did not entice others into faithless behavior? This comment is nonsense as it does not address the quoted post.

Who in the Hell said it was. The issue is NOT whether fire describes an environmental aspect of the afterlife for the lost. The issue is: "He [Jesus] experienced what every lost sinner will for all eternity" This is a quote from Jesusfan, and not, repeat not from me. Stop your false...

My view is derived from the context of Revelation 2:15 which includes 2:14. I understand the verses to say both those following Balaam and the Nicolaitians, were enticed into faithless behaviors.

Hi JD731, If I have my geography straight, Jerusalem is located in central Judea, with Samaria to the north, and Phoenicia farther north, surrounding the city of Tyre. So the certain men came to Paul's location from Judea. And in response Paul and other went south to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem...

Here we see the Calvinist using his "change the subject" ratchet from his tool box of fallacious argumentation tools. He did not even bother to post "taint so" but instead wants to change the subject to my conjured poor behavior. False teacher tactics 101. The topic is 1 Peter 2:9-10 and how...

1 Peter 2:9-10 NASB But you are A CHOSEN PEOPLE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR GOD’S OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD...

I do not think the Early Church thought the Nicolaitians were a sect following Nicolas of Antioch, mentioned in Acts 6:5. Yes, that is one theory concerning the Nicolaitians, actually endorsed by the NET footnote of Revelation 2:6. And, Irenaeus and Hippolytus connected the group to Nicholas...

Similar to Balaam, the Nicolaitians put stumbling blocks before believers to get them off the track of faithfulness. And they did so from authority, "lording it over the flock."

Not sure what the subject here is, but JesusFan simply makes up false claims and posts. Jesus paid the ransom for all, He suffered such that because of His sacrifice, He could talk away the sin burden, what God held against anyone transferred into Christ. All these claims He suffered as if in...

On and on, the Calvinists post copy and paste immense amounts of verbiage, citing verse after verse, but signifying nothing. God's will and desire to save all people is clearly stated in 1 Timothy 2:4, but not by way of compulsion, the false claim of Calvinism. God provided the means of...

The three points concerning Divine Knowledge, based on three passages of scripture, supported Inherent Omniscience. The post did not even address the posted link to John Brown's biblical interpretations supporting Calvinism. . Would it be fair to conclude their tool box is sparse. We find the...

Certainly one aspect of Nicolaitian behavior is insistence on "my way or the highway," where their view is not up for discussion or study. But it would be wrong to claim the behavior turns a believer into a dreaded "Nicolaitian." On the other hand, those enticed to go with the favored view...

Yet another false claim, as Limited Atonement had its inception in the 4th Century, with Augustine changing "all" of 1 Timothy 2:4 to "all kinds of people." But the actual verse reads "all people." So to suppose the Apostles wrote or taught all kinds of people when they used "all people" is...

The bondage of sin is more than the separation from the living God, it includes our being bound in distress stemming from discomfort and regret. Many believe the torment of Hades and Gehenna has an eternal duration. almost all believe the separation from God in Hades and Gehenna is eternal.
