    Question About the Timing of Christ's Arrival

    Don't use words too big for the subject. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. (C. S. Lewis)

    Colossians 2:13-14 and Reformed/Calvinist theology

    No on all counts...but I don't see how these questions are pertinent.

    Who's to say that one is not a Baptist?

    Agreed actually....but that doesn't mean he "called" himself one. The name isn't really the onus of it. The distinctives are.

    Colossians 2:13-14 and Reformed/Calvinist theology

    More later.....but if you re-read my initial post...I intentionally never referred to the idea of a check awaiting clearance at a bank, in the mail, or anything like that. Something tells me you have heard and are arguing against a similar analogy you have once heard. Drat!! and I thought I...

    Who's to say that one is not a Baptist?

    Just to stir the puddin' a bit....The question I have is this, what precisely is the difference between a "Non-denominationalist" (who would accept, teach and preach and believe all the distinctives of Baptists) and an actual "Baptist"? A name on the front of our sign folks...means essentially...

    What do Preterists believe about 2 Peter 3

    I agree with your assessment here completely....only, I don't think that Peter's epistles were Jew-centered, but rather general in scope. Nice assessment though :thumbs:

    What do Preterists believe about 2 Peter 3

    Maybe....but you ignored this part of the passage: 1Pe 1:1 ¶ Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Jews are not "Strangers" to Peter. Nor did they specifically (at that time) suffer any "dispersion" similar...

    What do Preterists believe about 2 Peter 3

    2Pe 1:1 ¶ Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: Peter is often considered the apostle to the "Jews"....but neither I Peter nor second Peter was addressed to...

    Destruction of the weakest' essential to evolution, prof says

    Yes...the professor clearly DOES understand, and he knows that "weakest" and "fittest" are not synonymous words. He is using them, however, as being synonymous for the purposes only of his statement here. Moreover, he is perfectly aware of the further Evolutionistic rejoinder that "fitness" is...

    Consider Jack and Joe - who is worse?

    Per the OP No one can reasonably escape the obvious conclusion of the OP....it is so simple...."Jack" is more the non-pitied reprobate deserving of wrath and "Joe" was merely the poor wretched soul God was vicious enough to create in the first place. It were truly better for poor "Joe" that...

    Would Life Anywhere But on Earth, Shatter Your Faith?

    Not necessarily...no. I don't think so. Maybe they are intelligent, but not possessed of freedom of will. Maybe they have both, but never fell. Maybe they have intelligence, and freedom of will, and they also "fell", but the conditions for "atonement" are not the same. Maybe the "shedding...

    Literalism is a fatal disease

    Only in your mind....they are simply not synonymous. There are Christian expositors aplenty who are "literallists" who are no more "legalistic" than the man in the moon. You are eaten up with a heart of rebellion CTB..."Legalism" is not even one whit a Scriptural teaching...but you clearly...

    Let Jesus be Jesus and Preterism Rings and Reigns all through the Bible

    This is where I come from too....it is fine (even admirable in a weird way) to be utterly conviced and confident of a debateable Theological position....but dismissive (against the Godly witness of some VERY admirable men who are gifted with the Word)...is short-sighted at least. I have no...

    Good Debate

    If you can quote me saying it...than, presumably I said it....if you can't, then, presumably, I didn't..... And anyone who is truly saved by the Grace of God (which is, in fact, the only way to be saved) also already believes in "Salvation by Grace" doctrine...it is determinism we don't accept...
