:applause::thumbsup::love2: YUP!!!!

Interesting, but I think we conclude that God is NOT, strictly speaking, and actual infinite. Your mathematic example demonstrates that actual infinity is self-contradictory. God is not a walking contradiction of himself or anything else. There is a similar group of mathematical quandries...

You are correct:thumbsup: In a nutshell, that is pretty much exactly what the "Baptist Bride" doctrine teaches....They may not all believe that you have to have perfect succession per se....most Baptist Briders do. It is easy to disparage it as a doctrine because it sounds...at least at first...

I think if that is the case then Christ was NOT "...in all ways tempted as we are,yet without sin" True!::thumbsup: Less true

I tend to agree (in principle) with what you were driving at with your example Winman, but it has a catch I think..that puts us in danger of Platonism..to wit: If there are propostitions or principles or even laws such as those of Mathematics or Logic, which can in any way have a necessary...

Great questions!! and definitely something that Christians would be wise to consider at some point. I would say that in reference to 1.) that at least all moral rights/wrongs are inextricably related to his character: i.e. "God cannot lie nor repent.." Divine Command Theory....That the...

Charming but previously you said....... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will try this: 1.) I did not suggest MY opinion was better than your scholars, in fact I (very intentionally) said your statement might send "some people" through...

Only, Christ was asking the Father to forgive them......

Yes.... "If it be possible let this cup pass from me...Nevertheless.."you can finish it I'm sure. Note: Even if it had NEVER occured that The Father denied Christ's petition......This passage demonstrates that it is at least 1.) Possible or... 2.)Jesus did not quite fully understand...

"Nevertheless NOT MY will BUT THINE be done." No one on this board would suggest that Christ's submission wavered... That would read more like this: "Nevertheless not THY will but Mine be done" Inasmuch as Christ did not say that, no one here would suggest such a thing and you are...

Hmmmm.... I took it, but.....Why do I get the feeling that the guy who made this quiz..IS a Missionary Baptist? I know the differences, trends, and tendencies. "Do you believe you should take a covered dish to Heaven" LOL

Uh, no. 'Course can't really speak to how it was perceived at the time, but if you are translating a completely different body of manuscripts, then, it can't be a revision of the KJV.

Is being challenged by precisely zero people on this thread. Has been suggested by precisely 1 person on this thread...You. Or...You could simply answer a very simple question My prediction...This will not in fact occur.

Yes, and an unjust weight is a very straightforward method of directly stealing-it is cheating someone-it is lying It would be more akin to the use of counterfeit money-or false information on a contract or adding an extra 0 to a check. The correlation between using an unjust weight and lottery...

No, Icon..... They are arguing against YOUR PARTICULAR CONCEPT OF COVENANT THEOLOGY. Seriously, ask the Lvl. 55 Calvinist clerics in the smoke-filled rooms and they will admit that to a great degree... its just a rhetorical device. They wouldn't admit it to me, but they would to you I think...

Herald There is indeed: http://evangelicalarminians.org/glynn.CALVINIST-RHETORIC.Euphemism-and-Dysphemism

In effect, yes, and decidedly in "Form". Indeed, when it was first created, it was essentially percieved as a sub-group of the Catholic Church. But over the years, it DID copy a lot of its fellow Protestant tendencies and sort of morph into a legit Protestant "denomination" as it were. By the...

Well....I have studied (a decent amount) about him, and you are indeed right!! One person says he is a Saint, the next... a demon. My conclusions are roughly this..... He was not signifigantly better or worse than the rest of the monarchs preceding and proceding him. (accept for the patently...

...... What? Really? This is, of course, a hasty judgement, not knowing the person, but in my estimation....this sounds incredibly like the "Could God create a rock so heavy he can't lift it"/ "But Bill Maher says" "internet Atheist" kind of skeptic. This kind does not need to be humored...

Oh...WOW. I will resist the urge... as it is not the topic of the thread...but these are some bald assertions which could send some people through the roof. AGE??? AGE??? what in the world would the age of the translation matter? I would actually disagree... but there is an entire section...
