My doctrine comes from scripture and only scripture. Your “theory” of where my beliefs come from is simply wrong. I haven’t quoted anything other than scripture. Peace to you

Understanding scripture in context without pushing secular philosophy on the text is not delusion, it is rightly dividing the Word of Truth. I understand you are blinded by your secular philosophy to the truth of God’s Word so further interaction will not be edifying. Have a nice evening...

There’s the difference between us, @Van. I don’t change the words of scripture to fit my understanding. I change my understanding to fit the words of scripture. Peace to you

Show me where I did this or quit making a false allegation. You have admitted to changing the words by posting your “interpretive translation”. Now, you make false allegations that I have changed the words of the passage to deflect from your obvious error. You are like clouds without rain, a...

And so we disagree on the “clear context” of 2 Thessalonians 2:13. The difference is, I just stick with words written to come to my conclusion. You must resort to “interpretive translation” to make your conclusion. If you can point me to where I changed a noun (salvation) into a verb (saved...

And his disciples responded “who then can be saved”… revealing a belief then (and with many today) that if you are rich God must be blessing you. And Jesus responded to the question, “who then can be saved” by saying with man it is impossible but with God, all things are possible. Revealing...

And so we disagree on the context and the meaning. Have a nice evening Peace to you

Scarlett O… very well stated. Thank you Peace to you

That is interesting. Of course, scripture tells us the “love” of money is the root of “all kinds of evil”, which is often misquoted as money being the root of all evil. There is, I think, a certain mindset that very wealthy people usually have that may not be compatible with Christianity… a...

Like I said, @Silverhair, when “from the beginning” is used in the context of God doing something, it is referring to Genesis. All the rest of the verses you cited have a very clear context with reference to time of people doing something. I am not confused at all to the meaning of 2...

All efforts to validate the changing of the meaning of the words in scripture as an “interpretive translation” is the foundation of false teachers. You do not need to change the meanings of the words in 2 Thessalonians 2:13 to understand what Paul is teaching. He very clearly states we are...

Folks, who actually rewrote the passage to fit his secular philosophy? Van did. Folks, who cannot stand it when his error is pointed out with abundance of scripture in context? That is Van as well. Hey @Van, don’t mention me in your posts and I’ll try to ignore your ignorant gibberish...

Or…. I will now rewrite the passage to make it fit my secular philosophy… Ta Da!!!! All you have to do is ignore the meaning of words, be willing to rewrite all passages to fit your beliefs and then personally attack anyone who dares to point out your error… Vanology in action Peace to you

I need to climb those steps a few times a day. Peace to you

You asked, “who said we are chosen because of our faith”, and laid out why that’s not true. I answered your question directly… you said it in your previous thread. It is impossible to dialog with you. You don’t even know what you’ve said before and claim personal attacks when your own words...

Thanks for the Star Trek meme. I miss them British are also being arrested for silently praying about things the government don’t believe needs prayer. Thought police in full force Peace to you

@Van said it in post #123 of his thread “when were we chosen” Peace to you

No, “from” does not mean anytime after the beginning. It means… when there was a beginning… that is when we were chosen for salvation. Peace to you

First of all, I’m sure nobody said, “kill the survivors”. More likely the order was to destroy the boat they just happened to be clinging to, so all those illegal drugs would be completely destroyed. Peace to you

Oh sweet!! Fireplace, eggnog, hot coffee!!! Music! You must be listening to some Barry Manilow!
