Don't forget the rule of cinema tickets.

I suppose that 'we' here is the 'royal we' since you are the only person who keep up your nonsense. But you have not begun to show that redemption is not substitution. If you think that the buying of cinema tickets is either of those things, you are away with the fairies. Nor have you begun to...

Proverbs 6:1-5. Here and in Proverbs 11:15, we are strongly urged not to become surety or guarantor, either for a friend or a stranger because we would become liable for all the debts of the other party should he default. In becoming Surety for the New Covenant, the Lord Jesus became liable...

'Nuff said.

Because it is what the Bible makes exceedingly clear as I continually point out. Moreover, there are multiple words which are translated 'oppressed' in the Bible The one which is used in Isaiah 53:7 is so translated in only one other place: Isaiah 3:5. If you read the previous verse as well...

Do you really not see a difference between bearing our sins and bearing our sorrows? For the second time, if I bear someone's sorrows, I don't take them away; I comfort as best I can and sympathize, and hopefully provide some relief, but sorrow for a dead spouse or child can never be taken...

It is just as well if it doesn't take a language expert to determine these things, because you sure aren't one. I have pointed out that to bear someone's sins and to bear his sorrows require two different verbs in the Greek precisely because they are two different things Not at all...

Matthew 6:12. "And forgive us our debts [Gk. opheilema], as we forgive our debtors." Colossians 2:14 (NKJV margin). '....Having wiped out the certificate of debt with its requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the...

As I wrote, I am quite happy to let others judge the meaning of Isaiah 53. It is very straightforward. Adding this or that verse to the extract that I quoted in post #19 does not change the meaning of the extract. If you are going to pose as some sort of guru who has mastered the mystery of...

Shouldn't it be 'a ransom for many'(Matthew 20:28 etc.)?

The scapegoat suffered the same fate as those who were to be 'cut off from their people' (e.g. Lev. 7:20, 21, 25, 27). The life is in the blood and the shedding of blood speaks of the atonement for sins by the killing of the animals. The tent and the altar do not sin; they need to be cleansed...

With you I am never quite sure what is a spelling mistake and what isn't, but if you meant to say that PSA takes a literal approach to Scripture, I completely agree with you. :D For the rest, I am quite happy to let others read the verses and see what is so very clearly portrayed there.

The atonement is made first, and this brings about the cleansing. The scapegoat is sent away from the people and is said to 'bear on itself all their iniquities to an uninhabited land' (Lev.16:22). In the expression of 'a goat for Azazel' in lieu of 'sacapegoat,' 'Azazel' can have the meaning...

This is true. I have long since set aside what you think and prefer to believe the Biblical text, which is very simple and straightforward if one reads it without pre-suppositions. 'He was pierced for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was...

If the church is an assembly of Christians it seems sensible to me to ask what a Christian is before proceeding further.

I think there needs to be agreement on what is a Christian before asking what is a church. I wrote these a long time ago, but I think I still agree with myself! https://marprelate.wordpress.com/2009/08/31/what-is-a-christian/ What is a Church? I think they are a bit long to cut and paste here.

I do think they have a choice. I have repeatedly said so, as have generations of Calvinists. It really would be helpful if you stopped reading caricatures of what Calvinists believe and listened to what they actually believe. Imagine yourself walking through the woods and suddenly coming...

As I say, I've never come across it, and hope I never do. I don't think the practice occurs in the N.T. post-Pentecost, which is pehaps an indication that it shouldn't have occurred pre-Pentecost. Would you use lots to vote in elders in your congregation?

:rolleyes: May I refer you to Bambi and the wise words of Thumper's mother: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all" (c.f. Job 13:5).

You're right; you have posted this nonsense many times. The fact is that the Holy Spirit teaches Calvinism in the Bible, so whether Augustine was influenced by pagans or not is irrelevant. My prayer for you is that you would read the Bible without your prejudices which are blinding you to the...
