Quick question: Are you appealing to an idea that God has a "revealed will" and also a "secret will" ? I would take issue with this: from either a non-OT or Open Theist view, I don't think this is a necessary assumption, I don't think OT's believe this. I think they believe he...

As the very proud husband of this beautiful woman: She asked me this question, and I am at a total loss, I am a misogynistic jerk, she loves the fact that I am a misogynistic jerk. But heck if I can find a Biblical argument to deny a woman the permission to do so. Every fiber of mine and...

BINGO!!!! hence the doctrine of "prevenient grace" so the Arms are covered there.......next? erm...uh....yah of course :laugh: . :laugh: Now THAT is Brilliant:thumbsup: I tried to make one of those up but that is GOOD, kudos!!:tongue3:

No, I agree that God knows that it WILL not be the case. You probably think I am merely parsing words here, but it is the crux of my argument. Try these on for size? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX3uujCanf8&feature=relmfu There are two parts, the assertion is basically that the...

Mumbo Jumbo??? I don't understand. Are you dismissing the notion out of hand? Maybe if I merely made it as a bald assertion.....but WLC? It may be correct, it might very well be wrong, but to dismiss it out of hand? I do realize that it is counterintuitive, but there is a body of material on...

Correct: Here is Romans 9 to that point: I will bold the references to Jews Rom 9:1 ¶ I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, Rom 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. Rom 9:3 For I could...

If I may now interject: I think what Tom said above is correct and yes the body and church are the same, I think your confusion (stemming from the verses you posted initially) lies in that most of them state that Christ did indeed die/give himself for his Church/his Body, nourish it..etc. I...

WOW!!!!:eek: Easy there trigger.

Tell them to writa de Popa and have him excommunicated then.....oh, wait, already taken care of. :D

....And the Lord will point to the Molinists <----- and say...if you had not believed them, neither would you believe even if one came back from the dead :smilewinkgrin::D

Sorry Steaver: Apparently you wanted to simply extend a nice :1_grouphug: :love2: :flower: to our Calvinist brethren (something I would never do) you should know better by now. Instead, you brought out the more militant :mad: non-Cals. One can believe there is election/predestination to...

My "faith" tells me..... Some good Catholics will find a way to make some $$$ off of this!!!

They compare by having ackowleged their guilt: repented and by having to accept and deal with the CONSEQUENCES of their actions. This woman refuses to accept the consequences of her actions. Did David's baby die? why yes it did. Did David cause a plague in Israel? (a commentary btw on how...

I would argue that it is permissible to lie/break any law of men, that is expressly against God's Laws. To have a law which prevents the distribution of God's written word, is in direct disobedience to God's commands. Thus, I would obey God's precepts over men's. Hopefully, with much prayer...

No on 1.), Yes on all others-the war part does depend on the justification for the particular war; those questions are rather easy to answer

Define please what the signifigant category difference between the purpose of the military and the purpose of private weapon ownership is CTB.... Also, private weapon ownership (in this country at least) also forms, besides personal protection, a defense against those enemies of freedom such as...

Adam.....made the choice for all that is. God entrusted Adam to choose for every one of us. Thus I fail to see how it is any less (<------nice "word power" I think you call it) to believe Than it is to believe:

At some point: there are doctrines that any sincere Bible-believer will ultimately be forced (in good conscience) to no longer fellowship with people who are not doctrinally aligned with them. (Amos 3:3) For many, the particular Soteriology of Cal v. non-Cal is not one of them. I respect that...

:applause::thumbs::wavey:

He IS IN every time? as in he is "currently" residing as it were in the past the present and the future???? I think maybe you mean to say he is simply outside of time altogether, Time is a very real thing dependent upon his creative act just like space and matter. I am just saying that some...
