It was logical. That is to say the arguments are valid if not sound. An argument is valid if the conclusions follow logically from the premises. It does not assume the truth of the premise. An argument is sound if it is both valid and the premises are true. Their arguments are therefore...

You may mean to say that it hinders Sanctification in your O.P. question. If false, of course, inasmuch as all false beliefs hinder sanctification. KJVO is not unique in this respect. It does no harm to the doctrine itself anymore than any other false belief does. No. Wrong thinking hinders...

It's an observation about which topics you post about and seem to take interest in. This one seems to dominate about 90% of all your posts. It has nothing to do with mind-reading. O.k. fair enough. Agreed. But, the same standard holds for some KJVO folks. To them, this is a serious issue...

JD...He's a guy who wants to use his KJV... Why do you argue with him? Why does it spin you into a dimension of so incredibly pissed-off, that there's one KJVO left in this world? John of Japan appreciates Logos 1560 spending DECADES of his life worried about NOTHING ELSE than that there...

Two things are wrong in this entire thread. 1:) John of Japan has consistently failed to elucidate what the "Great Commission" is... and, while he's spoken in detail of the "soul-winning" passion of his grampa. (we know this, he's preached it constantly for decades now). John has spoken...

IMO, no. And I think I would agree with Van on this as well. If her death is still regarded as suicide, then her death is for all practical purposes, not really on his hands. In many ways, she is the most guilty party in this whole ugly scenario. He was simply doing what felons in his situation...

It's rarely a waste to prosecute. If, for some reason Casey beats any given charges on appeal, or, at least has a mistrial declared etc. (they often do years after the events in question) then there's no good reason to assume Casey will stay in prison for any particular length of time. An...

I rarely feel like praying for God's judgment upon my own nation. This makes me feel like doing so.

I'm finding this exchange between Reynolds and Jon to be interesting. In a sense, I agree with both of you. The problem I have with Jon's idea is that frankly, teaching, say, history (for example) at almost anything less than a bachelor's or graduate level is almost pointless aside from the...

Libertarian Free Will can be affirmed while simultaneously holding to Perseverence of the Saints or a "Once saved always saved" Theology. One option is a Molinist account of Libertarian Freedom which would be logically consistent with both beliefs. It is possible. As a liner note: I think these...

I appreciate that reply.... I'm not sure that is what they are saying, but, I leave it to them to elucidate what they ARE saying. Somehow, I am doubtful that they would argue that "sin vanishes mysteriously with no consequence". If it is true that that is their claim, then, obviously they are...

Yup, all of this...l'm sure I've read this in the text. Maybe it's there, and you simply don't know about it. That's my only question as well. Where is that part stated?

Well, show forbearance. This distinction between believing in Sola Scriptura and honestly living it is a hard one. Some posters....are not gifted to be teachers of the text or ones who are exceptionally talented at grammar and Theology etc.... They are honest believers called to be sheep (not...

Not to derail....Just wanted to tell you (oddly enough, to encourage you) that I am far more "heretical" than you are, and trying to put "Sola-Scriptura" into practice will isolate you. Yes, Stott held it and Bruce took the arguments quite seriously....I don't claim to buy your heretical views...

True. Also true. Also true. Not stated by the text that I'm aware of. Can you show where that last statement is claimed?

They'll give him a pass on that one, of course....lol. But, it is funny. :)

Given your questions.... Ransom Theory of Atonement you now propose? This is a change. Please explain your conversion to the Ransom Theory of Atonement so as to take some heat off of Jon and Aged....

I haven't changed my mind. I have simply thought your arguments meaningful and worth consideration, and wanted to ask questions about what your arguments entail so that I could prayerfully consider them in my own right. That is, of course, met with vehement condemnation. Why not? That is...

No, I don't see. You appear to assume. I don't know what you are even assuming really..... I simply know that you react with vehemence and insult, not engaging argument. Ofttimes (if I already agree with you, as I often do) it is fun to read and worthy of preaching to a choir. I don't know if...

They do..... I'm hardly claiming to be a convert at this point, but, I'm sure the abuse I will receive for merely considering your arguments and suggesting I might possibly take them seriously, will drive me towards them instead of against them. I find that the Theological arguments I find the...
