This is a rather pedantic argument. If you want to be that technical then every translation should read Heylel. When you say "Jesus" or "God" are you using the actual names that belong to them in Hebrew or Greek? No, it's a translation of the name converted to English based upon the names that...

And yet here you are as predicted :)

Satan is never called a lion, or the light. There is a big difference in Jesus being THE light, and the Devil parading AS AN angel of light, as well as Jesus described as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, and Satan walking about AS A roaring lion. The former is descriptive of who Christ is...

It could be based on the Bible translation he is using. Most of the modern versions change the text in Isaiah 14:12 to read "day star" which matches the day star referring to Christ in 1 Peter 1:19. But Lucifer was his name (light bearer) and Satan is more of a title (deceiver) but there is no...

Some nouns take on the form of a verb (like love can be a noun or a verb). This pistei in this case is in the objective genitive and is used as a verb

Van vs The Citizens of Geneva Hmmm..and if there are so many newbies on here, and your reasoning for not answering the post is because it was answered elsewhere, and yet you are still debating it, then why assume someone is ignorant simply because they are unfamiliar with the debate posted...

Common Sense Robo's rebuttal to what I said about Wilkinson was merely that "it is a fact" that it's true. Circular reasoning that merely attempts to reassert the original accusation with the evidence for the accusation being that he says so, and it's true because it's a fact, and it's a fact...

Norman Geisler said it best on that quote by Rene Descartes (pronounced 'de cart'): "The Calvinists put Decart before De horse"

Van vs The People of Geneva And through all of the hodge-podge of rabbits trails, derails, and chem-trails, the OP has yet to be refuted or even addressed squarely on the specific content addressed. In the legal system, when the plaintiff makes a claim, the defendant normally has 20-30 days...

You tell me. Why don't you grow a pair and post the same thing in public that you sent in a PM

In all of the verses you sited, these are reference who "lie in wait to deceive" for the purpose of tricking believers into denying Christ. Has nothing to do with a believer using tactics to catch another person being dishonest. Nathan did it to catch King David, and I did it to catch several...

I have lost all confidence in you becoming a successful comedian. Of all the possible brain jokes, you picked that one?:tonofbricks:

This is primarily a preterist view because if they concede that Revelation was written after AD 70, the entire preterist system falls apart since they believe that all prophecy from Revelation 1-19, Daniel 9:24-27, and Matthew 24, was fulfilled when Titus destroyed Jerusalem. There is internal...

I'll expound more on this later because it will take a while to type it out but the allegation that the KJVO issue can be traced to Wilkinson is a load of crap. Dean John Burgon refuted Westcott and Hort before Wilkinson was a tick on a dogs ear, and Wilkonson repeated what Frank Nolin wrote in...

Since this seems to be so hard for you to understand I'll make it real simple: 1. Calvinists believe that faith is a work-FACT 2. Ephesians 2:8 says "for by grace are ye saved, through faith" 3. If faith is a work, then Ephesians 2:8 would read "by grace are ye saved through WORKS" If...

Van: It's obvious you won't get a discussion if you write something that has more than one Bible verse. I think in the future when Non Calvinists write something about Calvinism, we should go slow, and deal with one verse at a time, because Calvinists can not multi-verse :) For example...

Again, nothing but rhetorical hogwash. Did you answer the objection about Ephesians 2:8? Nope, You can't. You attempted to prove that God unconditionally elected Israel by quoting Deuteronomy 7, and I conclusively proved that your argument was bogus because you left out the verse that...

You have some good points there. One thing to note is there is nothing wrong with churches that have a "statement of faith" but these churches do not rely on these as the final authority. It must be realized that these confessions were the result of groups getting together to resolve conflicts...

And your repeated errors of taking verses out of context, applying man-made theology to passages, and never really getting to the bottom of anyone's argument or accurately stating what they said or believe is why you think everyone else that disagrees with Calvinism is wrong. We can argue in...
