Davy left because I told him he couldn't abuse Fenris.

Yeahhhhhhh we're not going to be playing the "decieved Jews" game. So that stops now and there are no second chances if it's brought up again.

To Whom It May Concern:
I do not like to argue for argument's sake, as some here do. I don't have time for silly arguments just because someone doesn't like what is being taught from God's Word as written.

What does the pesky New Testament have to say to this?

"Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."

Fenris is our dear friend, and though he does not live in Berea, it doesn't matter so much given that he is examining your message, just as Paul's was examined. Imagine Acts 17:13, "And Paul ignored the Berens". (I misspelt that on purpose.)

We've been the thankful victim of divine intervention!

We've been installing a new door between our entryway and (attached) garage so that we don't have to go outside whenever we want to access the garage. Well, as "luck" would have it, while the frame was being cut out of the wall we discovered signs of a water leak. £90 later it's fixed, but it would have been so much worse had we not found it at all.

"Luck", huh.

If you aren’t going to be friends with Fennicus you can’t be friends with me either.  Fendrick is my JooHomey fo’ shizzle.  And he has a space laser.  Beware the space laser, nu?

Seriously Wavy Davy.   Start with the silliness and you’ll find the door.    We don’t call people names, smoke or chew or go with girls who do.

And passive aggressive “I CANT SEE YOU BECAUSE IM IGNORING YOU” works with a 3 year old but around here, meh, not so much.

When you try to debate (silly abbot, kicks are for trids ), with a conservative devout child of Abraham, you should not be surprised to get push back to your HalLindseyJohnHagee hyper dispensational interpretation of the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings or Matthew 24

Fenris be ahite…. I’m jiggy wid it.

Meshugenah shalom and far out.

Thanks for saving me the time. I'll add you to my IGNORE LIST also.

I consider that a great honor.

It seems Davy has chosen to ignore the whole forum because...
hmm...
...it's a forum, not a pulpit.

Huh.

Thanks also for letting me know just what kind... of forum this actually is, one that does not like simple Bible teaching unless one is part of the accepted 'clan' here, so your abuse of the Berean idea about Apostle Paul actually you have turned around. Bye, and I wipe my hands and feet of this place.

Byebye

Hi Randy,
That archive link is awesome. Thanks (seems I can't "like" posts yet)

This subforum doesn't have post likes enabled, but you should see the "Like" button elsewhere. If you're not seeing at all, or you don't see it on a subforum where you expect to see it, let me know.

In the Karate Kid, Daniel wins the tournament with a kick to the face of his opponent--a strike the referee lists as not permissible. (Apparently, the Director overrode that ruling).

Daniel was actually the villain of those movies

Eschatology / Re: What need to happen before the end times ?
« on: March 03, 2025, 05:03:27 AM »
Growing up in Pentecostal churches i was taught rapture could happen any time .

And, breakfast isn't served in hell. Jesus freaks don't go to Hell, but impure girls do. Only pure girls and men who can keep a promise go to heaven. Both of whom should kiss dating goodbye because, you know, side hugs are the only holy option. Girls are only ever girls, and boys grow into men.

So pray to be included in the rapture, or stick around and watch some airplanes crash.

Do you really believe that God the Father would allow people to die when he raptures believers?  He would then be labelled as a sloppy murderer.

1. Breakfast in Hell, Newsboys
2. Jesus Freak, DC Talk
3. Impure girls, Christian youth group purity culture
4. Pure girls and men, Joshua Harris, "I kissed dating goodbye" and "Boy meets Girl: Say Hello to Courtship"
5. Kiss dating goodbye, Joshua Harris, again
6. Side hugs, Joshua Harris again, and youth group purity culture, again
7. "Girls are girls and boys are boys", Western social wisdom passed off as profound theological insight
8. Airplanes crashing, the opening scenes of the first "Left Behind" movie

I didn't share anything about what I believed. Everything I shared is what other people believe.

But since you asked, do I think God is going to rapture billions(?) and protect the world from the consequences of billions(?) of people disappearing? No. If you think that makes God a sloppy murderer, then that's something to work out with your theology.

Theology / Re: Is free will a failed concept?
« on: February 26, 2025, 04:15:18 AM »
The concept of freewill is in fact the deception by which the devil 1st deceived man for he said "thou shalt not surely die" that is freewill in a nutshell.

On the one hand, you want the "concept of free will" to be a Satanic deception ("thou shalt not surely die" is not about the will), and on the other, you want to say that Adam had freewill given to him by God.

Adam had freewill, we do not, we are bound to sin and we are bound to die

So which is it?

Knowing good and evil is not being able to do either good or evil.

You sin, you must sin, you are bound to it as a consequence you will die, you must die, you are bound to it.

In fact as to your natural self you are already dead.

But what does it mean "bound to die"? Death has become our shepherd, it governs us. If we do not set our alarm clock we will oversleep, then we will be fired, then without money we shall be destitute and die of hunger or from lack of shelter. Our whole existence is caught up in this struggle to stay alive.

All this  is our natural condition before we are saved.

Jesus has come to set us free, to save us ... when you say you had freewill and can choose to do good or evil you are insulting Christ for the awful price He has paid to buy your freedom.

You know what's really scary? When you engage in some particular sin but have the option not to. And then when you say, "But God, my nature is corrupted, I adopted an Augustinian ontology based on his poor Greek exegetic, and I simply had no choice in the matter!" God will say, "Bro, you didn't have to sin".

Everyone of course *will* sin, but that doesn't mean we *have* to sin, such that our nature is corrupted (not found in Genesis), or because our will has been devastated (not found in Genesis), or some other thing (not found in Genesis).

Without free will there is no such thing as love

God is love, so freedom of the will must always exist

[!]

Yes.

OTOH, voluntarily giving up your free will also is an act of love.

But... you are making much more sense.

But we don't have love ... unless God pours it into our hearts. If Adam had love he'd never have rebelled.

Adam had freewill, we do not, we are bound to sin and we are bound to die

Adam didn't lack love; he loved the wrong 'thing' (Eve, over God). We would have all done the same, because we all do, do the same.

Nowhere in Genesis is it suggested that free will was stripped from humanity. Our will is as "free" as it's always been, but we're no longer in the garden.
