Ah, I see. Perhaps you'd care to invade Zimbabwe next, then, based on that principle?

And in what way is what you've just posted not a personal attack?

Dust, I'm still waiting for your exegesis of John 20:28...

So, who died and appointed you the Protestant Pope, then?

And Darby only got it from the 'visions' of a poor mad Scottish girl, Margaret MacDonald. Oh, and the Irvingites, who were a bit nutty also. Not a great recommendation for the 'doctrine'.

Then explain why the Jews picked up stones to execute Him for blasphemy? I think the meaning of what He said was pretty clear to Him - why isn't it to you? And you haven't dealt with Thomas' confession...

Oh, I know Christian doctrine; I just disagree with your version of it

Guess his flock didn't raise enough money for him, then... Seriously, sorry to hear he's gone.

Yep - I'm happy to leave the 'how' up to God. Sorry, Marcia, but, like Lori, I've seen too many sterile futile and most of all damaging arguments between Christians over eschatology including the judgement(s) to really care about the issue anymore, so (to DHK and JohnDeereFan) I don't really...

Why ever not??
