I have read The Only Wise God....which Quantum linked to earlier it is an excellent book, and it helps trememdously with an understanding of Molinism...there is also a set of podcasts available on reasonablefaith.org that you could listen to, or you could read his weekly Q&A for an understanding...

Yupp!!! Something like that:thumbsup: All who condemn the moderate use of alcohol are deluding themselves....The miracle of Christ at the marriage of Cana is simply unintelligible if you are a tee-totaller. It is signifigant, powerful, and moving, if you understand that "wine" is "wine". It...

Yeah... I am sorry, but I am personally unaware of any idiot who is of the in-supportable opinion that Adam and Eve were "white"....never met them....never talked to such a being....perhaps, other than yourself (FAL) of course.

Do tell, please name those people, responding to this board, whom you are accusing of racism.....Who please, name names, are going to have issues in the "Spirit Realm" (Whatever [edit] that means). Then please explain to your racist friend, that no one, absolutely no one, is preventing him from...

It is not "obliged" under the OT system.....The OT system has a set of laws and rules which regulate what is permitted, but it is not "obliged". Does that make sense? In other words... there were regulations established for how the already existing "slavery" system might be applied....but...

:thumbs: :applause::thumbs: DING DING DING We have a winner folks!!!! Specifically in regards to the bolded portion....When I was in the Marine Corps, we used to refer to people as "light green" Marines and "dark green" Marines....:jesus:

Precisely....there is no way that that works in this passage similarly: If Paul truly meant kings, and those in authority....then there would be no reason for Paul to say "all men" later at all, since he has included all he wants to include already.

I am thinking that the problem is that you have not clearly established that God did not "desire" what Christ did....Your contention seems based on the idea you posed earlier that "desire" and "will" are more or less synonymous when speaking of God....This seems rather forced to me. You used...

Baalam's ass did too. (At least as concerning "speaking truth to power" :laugh:). It is not required to be saved to prophesy.

I could not agree with these sentiments more: :thumbsup: I am no Calvinist...but I think it is always good to weigh what are the strengths and weaknesses of any given point of view...I can hopefully treat Calvinist beliefs fairly, and I can admit when there are passages which clearly seem to...

From the article... So far, this article is short on details...but Indiana is batting 1,000. The only obvious misrepresentation, was on the part of the no-doubt perfectly straight-forward cop: Whose intelligence is he insulting?? There is no way whatsoever, that the Indiana law...

:laugh: Out-standing :laugh:

I have no problem with natural selection and minor change through time to increase survivability...I.E. God probably took something like only one or two different generic wolf/canine types for instance, and the numerous species we now have evolved from those two sources. I would assume that...

Immediately post the flood account Gen 9: 3,4 God authorized the eating of animals....but the Scriptures do not state if this had occured (against God's command) prior to it....Henry Morris suggests that it is possible that some had done so against God's command prior to the Flood...but we don't...

Following your logic....Baptists should not remain a distict group of believers but should get over that "whole dunking obsession of theirs" and join with other denominations....ANY and all in fact, which merely preaches the operative gospel the same. Local Churches are being split over these...

: Everything, specifically and precisely which I bolded in our quotes. These serve to create certain parameters.....not to establish a "right" itself.....Consider one thing....The SCOTUS held this opinion in Bush V Gore.....They held it unanimously....imagine....Antonin Scalia :saint: and...

I agree with that....moreover, if you Read Genesis carefully, (prior to the fall) man was not required to eat any "herb of the field" no broccolli/ spinach/ rutabaga or turnip/ (vegetables basically) man ate the fruits of the trees..... Gen 1:29 ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you...

I say no.....It wouldn't personally bother me if it did mainly because Amos 3:3 suggests to me that if honest conviction were to drive it, then we should not force unity merely for the sake of "unity". I am not saying I would like for it to happen, and I would be surprised if it did....But the...

What?????? :confused:
