I think that pretty much sums up the supposed UFO encounters reported in modern times—good explanation!

At school we were required to read: Erickson- (which you’ve already mentioned) Grudem-“Systematic Theology” “A Theology for the Church” ed. by Daniel Akin “Understanding Christian Theology” gen ed. Swindoll & Zuck. Some good commentaries are: Baker Exegetical Commentary on the New...

Van since you are insisting that I’m not answering your question (when I already did) let me make it as clear as possible- Nacham—when translated ‘relented’ carries the notion of backing off or withdrawing from a threat—not changing one’s mind. So if you want to take the verse as literal as...

Well-- at least your talking to me again—I was beginning to worry you didn’t like me any more-;)

Did you just cut & paste ur previous posts—lol—ok sounds like fun let me do it- Care to answer

Well Van—even though you falsely accused me of not answering your question—when I clearly did in 2 posts, even though you’ve yet to be so kind as to answer the original questions I asked you (which came even before you asked me anything), even though you find it acceptable to claim that God is...

Exactly!!!! While I don’t personally endorse the theory—it still allows for God’s omniscience to be upheld----so I don’t get as bothered by it---but I understand the concerns.

I’m just glad to see your that emotional with the charge of open theism---which means we probably can find a ground to agree to disagree on! Listen---I don’t expect everyone to agree with every theological possibility I agree with—thus—I apologize if you felt I was disparaging you—now for the...

Lol—sure we can be civil—I’d have it no other way! But I do suspect you are a supporter of open theism---Although I support the notion that God does not change—I can honestly see why someone would not believe this idea. However, when it comes to the omniscience of God, denying this is very...

Web-I normally don’t like to be picky about this particular topic—but I do suspect he might be leaning toward the open theist route.

That’s cool I don’t have the NA 27 (only the UBS4)—but your obviously interested in studying Greek & I’m always curious to see what other Greek students think about the accuracy of modern translations. Every other student of the language I’ve personally talked with either endorses the NASB or...

Lol—that’s exactly what my wife said! Except she added, “what’s next-- are they going to offer that flirty girl workout video & say hey-- were being sexually provocative for Jesus! Don't judge us!”

Hi Van—man we’re gonna become best friends if we keep interacting with each other in all of these threads-;)—But I beg to differ on posting any Scripture out of context! Let me ask you this about Ex 32—did Moses tell God anything He did not already know—lets see here Moses said—Why destroy the...

Reformed, Preachinjesus, & glfred— very good posts & explanations about how Greek works in interpreting Scripture! While it cannot give you all the answers—it can at least eliminate many problematic theories by showing how they are not grammatically relevant. Thus, while it cannot prove one’s...

For being a free willer—you sure are a likeable guy—u silly Sethiter! ;)

I’ve got my UBS4 (very close to the NA 27) in front of me—I’m reading the intro & I’m having a hard time finding where it clearly says it is taken from a “discredited text”! I know such a notion was never discussed in Greek class---but maybe I’m missing something---exactly what page of the intro...

Amen!!!:thumbs:

Now I’m not opposed to doing out of the ordinary things to get people to church—especially when they are creative---But when are people going to realize that getting 36 people to say a prayer & walk down an aisle—does not mean 36 people gave their life to Christ—it simply means 36 people went...

Controversial—Yes! Possibly in poor taste---Yes! But after watching the news clip posted it seems the ladies are simply working out—which I don’t have a problem with. Although I’ll admit they probably should have just done it to secular music & left Jesus out of it---they are really doing...

Not really—peirazo is translated “tempted” when the intent is to get someone to sin or go against the will of God— while peirazo is translated “test” when the intent is to put someone through a trial to prove their faithfulness to God’s will—with the motive being success. But regardless—go get a...
