I take it you think the second version of 2 Timothy 3:16 is the correct version. You assert that the Bible is a tradition. Yet, the Bible is the word of God. Prove your assertion about the Bible and how you justify placing it below your churches catechism and man-made traditions. I would like...

The problem here is you are demanding the Bible fit your requirement and if not, that means your traditions are validated. However, that is a fallacious thought. What we read is this: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for...

So, if you feed it dog food, that makes it a dog? That would explain the Roman Catholic Church and why you think it is Christian...

If you want to call a duck a dog, how can you prove it's not a dog?

Menno Simon is the father of the Mennonites, Amish and Hutterites. The Amish and Hutterites are offshoots who thought Mennonites were straying off the path. Today's Mennonites run a broad spectrum with Mennonite Brethren being very close to Traditionalist Baptists. Most people lump all groups...

Pretty sure if it takes multiple threads for JonC to try explain his theory...the issue here is one of straining gnats. John, it's highly doubtful that God's atonement for sinners is not nearly as complicated and strained as these threads have become. Suffice it for us to state that Jesus has...

John who? Adonia, it seems you cannot comprehend that God saves individuals without the need for any other human. God's word is the two edged sword that teaches and guides. A person can walk in perfect step with the Holy Spirit and never be tied to a tradition. It would be great if you lifted...

Where does God invoke the "Latin Rite?" The joke is that you have a tradition that is void of God's word. The burst bubble is your system of works that poses as Christian faith, but actually preaches chains filled with works that cannot save a soul.

I am in Christ Jesus. How is being made alive with Christ and found in Christ ever complete chaos? I follow the lead of God's word and the saints who also are lead by God's word. When tradition is not scripturally sound and goes contrary to God's word, I discern it is from hell and reject it as...

No different than the Jewish system where the Sadducees and Pharisees controlled the Sanhedrin and ran a corrupt temple system that required temple money and evil money changers. Yep, your system does rule over you. But, like the Jewish system, God has rejected the Roman Church as apostate.

This is your church denomination tradition talking. There is no teaching in scripture about Apostolic succession. If, however, you want to follow this...please show the direct succession from Thomas's ministry in the East as he went through Persia and into India. Show all the other Apostles, not...

That makes two of us.

You are grasping at straws. You are cherry picking scripture and forcing it in to your predesigned eschatology. Since you have a narrative, you look for verses to support your narrative... even if those verses have no contextual connection. I disagree with your contention that God wrote down...

I have never read the TEV. I am only referring to the NLT and their team of translators.

Adonia, no matter how hard you try twisting this, you are preaching a weak God who has to wait for you to make up your mind. Moreso, it logically means that you can change your mind at any time and God is powerless to stop you. Your entire premise is man-centered, which I personally find appalling.

JonC, it seems you have gone a long way to try twist penal substitution. You have muddied up the waters unnecessarily, in my opinion. You position reads more like a conspiracy theory.

Conservative theologians and Greek experts worked on the NLT. These aren't "Charles Taze Russell" type Greek scholars. These are people who actually know their Greek. I understand you may reject their methodology. That's fine. The meaning of the text does not change, therefore I have no...

You jump to some huge conclusions by prooftexting your theory of end times into the text. Observation of the text reveals that your assertion is not found in the text, but is instead found in your assumptions. Not one of the scriptures you provide actually states what you are asserting. Thank...

Please provide each passage where you think God says all humanity is written in the Lambs book of Life. What you wrote above is vague. I would like to read the exact passages of scripture that make up your argument. I have never heard anyone make your argument before so I find it hard to see...

You imagine God as passive and uncaring as he crossed his fingers in hopes that you would believe. That goes entirely contrary to everything we know about God as revealed to us in scripture. I disagree entirely with your imagination. Instead, I state that God drove you to the hopelessness you...
