Tom, I am so sorry to read about your physical thorn, or suffering! Like you, I have several chronic conditions, conditions that when I mention, well meaning but overly zealous brothers and sisters remind me that I should not confess such illnesses. I do not have MS, but having a medical...

REV, you are correct! Sadly, this is a problem on the board! I kept looking to the post to see if anyone commented, and then the same sense of dread came over me! I got to think; I should never have even posted this, because like you say, it becomes spiritual fodder, food and ammunition for...

Oh please! the problem is not being unteachable, but rather having no respect for you! Sorry, but there is nothing other than the ties that bind us in His blood, that bring us into fellowship! As for your "better-than-thou" mannerisms, that is what separates us! Thank God your attitudes and my...

Icon - I really appreciate hearing from you. It gives me great confidence to know that YOU think I am way off on this. It makes me feel safe and sound knowing that there are members, such as yourself, who are willing to jump in and correct me when I fall off the narrow path, doctrinally...

http://www.biblehelp.org/wounded.htm I find it quite interesting when believers decide to take God's Word ( scripture) into their own hands and apply it to another's situation or circumstances and shoot them. Do you believe that the church is more guilty of shooting their wounded, or do you...

Never read that book but I loved "Destined for the Throne" and Billy Grahams "Angels!" Another great book, on divorce and remarriage is "The Right to Remarry!" Also I love Ladd's book, "The Blessed Hope!"

You are forgiven my child ... Biggrin

Excuse me, but the only person who can 'take me to task' is the Father. While I appreciate others views, who is to say whom is correct on any issue? Surely not you? Granted you are skilled in grammar, you fail to impress anyone with your convoluted views of scripture. You guys have already been...

Now we both agree! No mud slinging, just agreement to disagree! Shalom!

Well and fine and good, Icon! But when you want to slant that teaching of scripture towards Calvin or Armenian views, or Catholicism or Wesley, Hagge or Jim Jones, you need to be careful! Why not just share your thoughts without using adages of dead men for a supportive foundation! Your zealous...

Once again, you are misquoting me, and using your interpretation to discredit me! I did not say that your use of quotes from past theologians was a bad thing, but rather your use of these quotes to support your views of scripture, or scripture itself. I believe that scripture can and should...

I have been biding my time, waiting for someone, other than yourself to bring to this board another view on the proper use of the King's English. How does it feel to have someone critic your sentence structure and spelling? God is the master of "irony!"

It seems, that as a moderator, you have forgotten that this is a "debate" forum, and it is not putting Icon down for his zealous enlightenment, but, challenging his views on a subject. I, myself, have posted numerous views and Icon, rippon and you have vigorously argued your views, views that...

I say, you need to review Romans 8:1, "Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.…" If you which to be legalistic, Ted, that is certainly your right! However, be...

Well, if you are a pastor, Ted, the most important gift, you should have is listening? Let me remind you that this comment was meant for another member; I even quoted that member. It surely was not directed at you! I did have one objection to you excellent post, but you seem to want to focus on...

Well, we have always had differences of opinions and views! So why should this be such a surprise to you? As for your TBN comment, you should know that I do not watch TBN, other than to catch a Gaither music event or a Billy Graham sermon! As for the men who inspire me and whom I base my...

Unfortunately there are those who think that quoting old, dead theologians gives their argument more validity. These men of old have some good things to contribute, but nothing should ever replace or take priority over the Word of God. I like your response.

I was developing a devotion the other day, and while putting my prayerful thoughts down on virtual paper, I wrote that my most significant struggle as a believer was with my faith. At that moment, and remember I was developing this teaching prayerfully, I felt like the Lord stopped me and...
