    Can someone WANT to be saved but not be?

    Mar 10:17 ¶ And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? Mar 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God...

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    I am not getting the complaint here: Are you suggesting that some form of mind/body substance Dualism is an unsound viewpoint? With respect, the inestimable Rene' Descartes was quite within reason to embrace Dualism, at least on some level as Substance Dualism is the philosophy most consistent...

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    Possibly.... with the exception of the mental retardation and stuttering that you mention. Please tell me that you would not drug a child in order to "treat" them for mental retardation or stuttering. Note: you may treat them for a disease/condition/illness which might have retardation or a...

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    And I think you will note that seizures, parkinson's, alzheimers....and the other neurological disorders you speak of are not there....You are focussing on the wrong word. The key word isn't "disorder" it's "mental" vs. "neurological"

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    If he did, then he is decidedly mistaken....I don't think he did. The key-word is really the qualifier "neurological".....People with alzheimer's parkinson's et. al. do not go to PSY docs....they go to neuro-surgeons/neuro-practitioners....I do not think he is equating the two....if he is....he...

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    No he wouldn't because.....he is differentiating between "mental illness" and "neurological disorders"....hence the mind v. brain discussion....the thread is about mental illness, not neurological disorder, which your link distinguishes between in paragraphs 1 & 2: Alzheimer disease and other...

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    You simply didn't read what I said . don't kid yourself I have read the vast bulk of it, admitted to it, and am confident in asserting precisely what I have asserted...ALL of the would have been immaterial, inasmuch as my contention is that "evidence" has in no way, whatsoever dominated...

    Isn't one of the fruits of the Spirit: "Self-Control"? (Gal 5:23)

    The Mental Illness/Sin Threads

    I should not do this, but, as I have a talent for opening mouth...and then regretting it, here goes: I feel that emotion needs to get out of the way, and there is a need to utilize more reason in this "mental illness" fiasco than has been shown. While Free and Steadfast may have some mistaken...

    What do you tell your child;

    You refuse to be the child-abuser who consigns their child to a government school, but if it is already to late to begin that way...then some of the advice already posed is pretty good. And you then get them out of it as quickly as possible.

    Flesch-Kincaid, part 2

    Well, dunno if that is fair....maybe. But only provided what you were searching for is for F.K. to reinforce pre-conceived notions. Presumably...they are somewhat expert on the topic and they use the formula for a reason no?

    Calvinism and Marriage

    It is not that simple: Diamond Lady is very right on this...If God can speak through a jack-ass, he can speak through a great evangelist such as Billy Graham. I think that is because he has. I find it very unfortunate, but I give him his due for how God has used him in the past.

    I have admitted a certain bias: The difference is I can detect and admit my own bias and you apparently can't. I even supplied you with a quote contained in a study I posted where the author of the post admitted their own bias. I tend to think you have not carefully read this thread from the...

    Spiritual hearing...or the lack thereof

    Good, Hopefully, he merely mispoke (a legit possibility) when he said "Heaven is not a "place" per se. If that was simply human frailty/failure then it is understandable...Let us assume the best, that he merely mispoke then. OH! Forsooth!!! And in only the prologue of the book he makes...

    Of course he did. Dr. Billy Graham is arguably the greatest evangelist of the 20th Century.

    Calvinism and Marriage

    I found this too humorous :laugh: because I have always felt that Billy Graham was 2 things: 1.) The greatest evangelist of the 20th Century 2.) It's worst Theologian It reminded me of a quote I once read that always stuck with me: I wish I remembered the source.... "Have you ever met a...

    Which Do You Obey?

    As kyredneck (peace be upon him) likes to point out...I am a "troll". And as one...I can confidently say that, if this is a "troll" then it is not a very good one. Watch and learn KitYoung...:laugh: A decent troll should know that this thread will die out quickly, in that Baptists are all in...

    Firstly, I have admitted no such thing...I am refusing to debate it either way, I believe it IS a legitimate facet of "understandability" I posted links to a previous thread on BB about the topic and there are links contained in the OP of that thread....and one can easily google it.....You are...
