And yet you don't bother to deal with the syntax here? Why is that I wonder...

I didn't say anything of chronology. Only a logical result (thus correlation as you say). And the interesting thing is, you didn't address the syntax or grammar. You went with a different tactic citing church history (spurious as it was). And then you talked about justification??? I'm...

Meant in the citation. But no biggie.

This thinking is rampant throughout evangelicalism. People focus so much on "going to heaven" that they fail to realize that the goal is a new creation... here... and resurrected bodies... for here! This is why rapture theology is so popular. It is neo-platonic gnosticism veiled in terms of...

I have BDF (the first one you mentioned, though you left out the translator, Funk). Of the more advanced grammars, I have Robertson (who doesn't?), Wallace (of course!), and BDF (why not?). I can't afford much more than that right now. Nor do I care for more. I do have Mounce's Morphology of...

Not quite the same emphasis there as here. But the crickets chirping is quite telling. Non-Cals are nailed to the wall when it comes to grammar and syntax. They can't get around that one.

Not gonna lie... not sure where 10:45 came from (other than subconsciously since it is such an important passage for Mark). I meant Mark 10:24 (I just looked down at my Bible a 3rd time to confirm this time). :D Free gift as in you don't earn it. It is by grace through faith. That doesn't make...

Making this discussion even more subjective. I can't think of many other discussions/debates that are more subjective than the music one. But I still enjoy, nonetheless.

Yeah... that's never happened to me.

Yeah... wow... Scripture actually says it is hard. Did you read where Jesus says to enter the narrow gate and the DIFFICULT road??? In Luke's account, Jesus says "strive". So now we need to accord this issue of salvation as both easy and difficult. It is funny you mention this issue. I was...

Well, I am using "rap" in a broad sense. But there are certainly subgenres of rap just as there are in rock and even further in metal. The rap I enjoy is not the hardcore gangsta rap or booty shakin' kind that you hear in a club. It thought provoking with a good beat. Head bobbin' mind blown'...

You forgot to end your post with the appropriate

The rest of your post speaks to the subjectivity in this argument. So I'll skip it. However I have to point out to you the objective flaw here. You try to discredit a solid axiom with a tautology. "The medium isn't the message. The message is the message." That is not helpful in the least. The...

So you like the music b/c it pumps you up like a pre-game hype video? Is that the job of worship music? Or rather is music supposed to be a response of worship? I would challenge your theology here. What is the operative force in your service for Christ? Is it your pump up music hyping you to go...

Right... let's make the exceptional situation the norm. How's that workin' out for ya??? Let's ask it this way. Did Jesus ever do anything like this when he preached the gospel of the kingdom? No! He turned people away with the hard difficult truths for discipleship costs everything or nothing...

Proof for Calvinism! James White just spent a while on this in a recent video (skip the first 2/5 of the vid) but we can shorten his points to this: doesn't 1 John 5:1 indicate via grammar and syntax that a Christian believes as a result of their being born by God? The argument is that the...

Really? This is how you start a presentation of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ? By saying it's so easy and only takes a few minutes??? This is peddling the gospel. Selling it without inconveniencing the buyer. SMH. Mark 10:45 Again Jesus said to them, “Children,how hard it is to enter the...

James White agrees too, having just (I mean like yesterday) critiqued another death metal group and pointing out based on style and substance that lack of Christian virtue. Just sayin'

Have you ever heard of the phrase "The medium is the message"? It was coined from a book with the same title. It focused on advertisement, but biblical scholars have made use of this as well applying it to genre and structure of Scripture (among other things). I think it fits here as well. The...

I don't care what you say... Aint aint a word, irregardless of usage!!!
