I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. Ecclesiastes 9:11 Unless God came to you...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Optional: I'll agree to disagree about these scriptures, because there's no way this is physical. If corporal punishment worked for you - great. I never tried or needed it. Also, what Dr. Bob said about yelling is right on. Talk about...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Optional: You're not suggesting this is physical in nature are you?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> You suggested that there was no support for physical punishment, in the NT. I posted Heb 12:6, so yes I am suggesting just that. Perhaps reading the verse in...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Optional: Why are you relying on a "proverb" from the OT? Can you imagine Jesus hitting one of his children? I don't believe you'll find any biblical support for it in the NT. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he...

Thomas, I hate to say it but I always figured it the way Bob does (minus the trash talking about the KJV ) I’m going to think on what you said though. Do y’all see any simalarities between the “ScapeGoat” from the OT and Jesus sacrafice on the Cross? While I’m at it, it seems evident that...

Pioneer, you hit the nail on the head. For the record, the BB is as close as I want to get to some of the rabid Nothing Onlyrs on this board. They are in denial and say that we are the ones that are causing division. They bring up Ruckman and people of his mentality and paint the whole KJV Only...

“….process of receiving salvation….. *believing that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that you must pattern your life as close to his as possible in order for God to see you as deserving eternal life rather than death,” What in the world are you talking about? Could you give chapter and verse?

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR> I truly think that those saying the sinner's prayer,believing, are saved. As you mature the fruits of that salvation will become evident (or not). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE> How can you believe without repenting? The Bible talks about "believing in vain" 1 cor 15, and...

I can find tuns of scripture that make repentance and faith or one of the two to be requirements for salvation (depending, of cores, on the person needing saved) but I can only think of two or three that seem to add confession or prayer. The main one is Romans 10:9. I think that in the light of...

I am amazed at all the judgmental people on this thread! :mad: Who are you to JUDGE this man and tell him that he is saved? :eek: Just kidding :D :D :D Where are all the indignant "thow shall not judge" ppl ? If they wanted to be consistent they should denounce youall who Judged...

Didn’t get any takers, so I changed the name on my post from " Church Discipline" to "Getting kicked out of Church" I did a search and couldn’t find a thread that addressed this, so I decided to start one. Matthew 18:15-17 is a good place to start “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass...

I know this is sort of covered in the “Second degree” but I think it deserves mention. Those who preach a “soft Gospel” 2 Corinthians 11:4 & Galatians 1:9

Hoss, I’m sure that you loved your grandfather vary much but good and kind people can be wrong. Your Grandfather has, apparently, gone to meat the Lord. He can not go back and change things. He, like all the rest of us will have to give an account for his deeds on this earth (not to determine...

Gina, Seeing as how Jesus was criticized for spending time with publicans and sinners, I would take such criticism as a compliment. Helen, Has it been that long? I remember years ago you were debating with an atheist on a page called Science and the Bible or something like that. If I...

After thinking about it more, it's perfectly logical that an Easy Believeism church would also have an abusive pastor. The church would soon fill up with false converts. False converts will do what comes natural unless there is a hard shell, crack the whip kind of Pastor to intimidate them into...

"why in the world would any person stay in such a situation? Instead of blaming the terrible pastor, the terrible church, or the terrible IFB movement, why not assign the blame right where it belongs, to the person who allows himself to be abused?" That’s a good point. I can see an abusive...
