Actually... I did admit that this concept of soul may be correct. But the biggest problem is that we are foisting a concept onto a word that dictates important aspects of our theology. And the concept itself does not come from the Bible. What is worse, we are so engrossed with this platonic...

doesn't really help does it

I just think our language is dangerously close to Platonic philosophy and gnostic notions of a future bodiless existence in heaven as the end-all-be-all of our future. Our hope is a future resurrected body to reign in the restored/recreated earth. Jesus' body is spiritual in the sense that it...

The above is what happens when you mix the Western world so heavily influenced by Plato w/ the Bible. Plus you are assuming many things in your explanation that have been passed down in tradition through the many years. That doesn't make you wrong. It just raises some red flags with me. (1)...

I wonder how much of your (our) concept of "soul" is related to Platonic thinking. What if the concept of the "soul" was nothing more than the core essence of a person (their conscience personality) which is retained after death and awaiting a future resurrection? Why does it have to be this...

So if we were to put the 6 seminaries on a matrix of theology, where would each fall? Calvinism, I would say: SBTS most reformed, SEBTS many reformed w/ a few dissenters --> all the way to SWBTS and NOBTS which seems anti-reformed. Maybe one I'm more aware of is NT textual studies: NOBTS then...

That's been the entire point... no one is saying Arminianism is Semi-Pelagianism. But we are admitting that they often get confused. Thus the point of the OP is whether we actually understand our opponent. I would argue that if we can't make this distinction, then we clearly do not understand.

Piedmont Baptist Graduate School offers a chaplaincy MA which most if not all can be done online. However, they are TRACS accredited, but it is still recognized by the gov so its ok.

I'm looking into the textual situation of Js. 2:19 and would like to review the LXX variants of the Deut 6:4 (I'm hoping to prove that James used the Shema w/ great significance beyond monotheistic confession). Is there an online LXX critical apparatus similar to the NT's (laparola.net)...

I think he was pointing out that the post and position you caricatured above was not really Arminianism but rather Semi-Pelagianism which I agree is spot on! He is not equating the 2 but differentiating them. Something you might consider doing so as not to blow up in your face since you failed...

It's funny how the A-tribulational view is rarely mentioned. 2nd coming then the consummation of all things. That's what I believe we are waiting for.

Given that Jesus is here alluding to Daniel 7:13. Compare: Mat 24:30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Mat 26:64 Jesus said...

Bwahahaha (Hebrew present tense)... love it!

Then put me on ignore, but you failed to scientifically prove any of your assertions. Not to mention that you completely ignored my jabs and points. Will Kinney does a better job than this.

So the "word settled in heaven" and the KJV matches exactly??? I.e. there was no match on earth until 1611 or 1769? Exhaustive evidence??????? What Ms evidence, what computational linguistic evidence, and what development of higher education evidence do you have??? I'm calling your bluff...

Yeah? I thought FAITH and theological issues should be settled by... well faith and theology. the 27th edition of the Nestle-Aland text Novum Testamentum Graece

Does pontificating make you feel good about yourself and your fundamentalist pursuit of certainty? I'm Amill b/c I find it to be most consistent w/ Scripture. Challenge... name 1 Amill scholar or writer (although according to you "why would anyone be Amillennial today?" many of us are out...

How about a reading movement? Are you in one of those??? ;) You asked the question if people are still interested in theology. I gave a segment of society (brandished as it were) who are interested.

I find it interesting how you keep propping up Lutzer and Comfort as if they are authorities on all matters of doctrine and gospel. Wanna know about the lordship debate??? Read some book about that topic specifically.

The resurgence of reformed theology and the neo-reformed movement is an example where in some places theology is on the rise.
