DHoffman in Post #20 [emphasis added]: Actually, you could be adopted into Judaism. People who converted were grafted into the spiritual relationship that the descendants of Jacob had with God. (I can provide Scripture references if requested.) They were welcome to participate in the Passover...

Tango in Post #3: I guess if I had a spell in the USA, I would spell it that way, too.

(I must admit I do find it amazing sometimes when people quote Scripture or refer to it, apparently without realising what it is actually conveying.) ============================================================================================== I have heard it proclaimed multiple times to...

The original pronunciation is demonstrated well in a story of a tinker at work repairing pots and pans in days long gone by. (Apologies if this was in the video. I normally don’t watch them.) A well-to-do lady comes along and asks him: “Are you copper-bottoming ‘em, my man?” He replies: “No...

From Post #249: Isn't it interesting how some people think they have the power to dictate to others. No hint of a request, nor a "please", notice. ============================================================================================== Just to let people know, my intention is to...

The reason I'm continuing to home in on this matter, is to counter something. The drawing of attention to people with disabilities, can be used as a back door to give attempted credence to the baptism of babies – itself a mechanism employed to promote the growth of organisations...

Me, in Post #9: Does the Nicene Creed tell us that the dead see? atpollard in Post #10, after voluminously and unnecessarily quoting the whole Nicene Creed: So, NO. There is no mention of the dead seeing or of the Dead Sea in the Nicene Creed. Why not simply admit that the Nicene Creed makes...

jsimms, Post 23: Then you made a point in a later post that you believe the soul simply ceases to exist and then somehow is resurrected. I asked you to show scripture to support your view and you have not. If you want to prove your point to us then give us scripture that affirm a "ceasing of...

Continued...(Continuing to address diversions, because as each diversion is addressed, it emphasises the thought that the diversion was supposed to defang.) Me in Post #9, concentrating in particular on the diversionary shot at the Pharisees and their Scriptural beliefs found in Post #6, but...

From Post #240: Not even if you repeat yourself another time and throw in your own favorite slur ("Baby Baptizers") several more times. Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? As I use the term, “Baby Baptisers” is a general and accurate descriptive term. There is no hint of...

What a difference a little twist of terminology can make. ============================================================================================== Albion in Post #141: And as for the age of accountability, that is something that was historically associated with the reception of Holy...

Post #264 (meluckycharms): Who specifically are the "elect"? atpollard, Post #265: Those the Father gave to the Son, supported by John 17:24. The Saints, as explained in Ephesians, supported by Ephesians 1:1-14...

(This is not the continuation from my former Post. It is a particular insertion between the two.) I thank jsimms435 for his polite explanation in Post #15. ============================================================================================== I here take the opportunity to point out...

Wow! I didn’t realise that starting this thread would lead to so much fun. In case people didn’t realise, the title of the thread is “Thoughts on the ‘annihilationism’ Thread”, not “Questions about the ‘annihilationism’ Thread” So much for my being taken to task in Posts #6 and #8 for not...

From Post #8: The equating of “sons of God” with righteous, God-fearing descendants of Seth, and “daughters of men” with unrighteous, God-rejecting descendants of Cain, is as old as the hills, and demonstrably lacking in wisdom. The normal rendition has the two populations segregated, with...

What would be the reaction of the average American, if someone from another country who was not a native speaker of English, presumed to know more about the English language than Americans did, and began to spruik invalid “authoritative” conclusions about the meanings of words, and those of...

Me in Post #137: Don’t the ritual baptisers of babies also propose an undefined and unscriptural Age of "X" within their doctrine? Albion in Post #141: No. I don't see anyway to conclude that they do. Me in Post #137: Do they not say (one way or another) that when a baptised infant reaches...

From Post #5: My understand is, that it is not only in English that words that are translated “serpent” and “snake” can carry meanings such as “a treacherous person; an insidious enemy” and “a wily, treacherous, or malicious person”. If that significance is seen to apply in the Hebrew...

Post #4: From Post #100, regarding the thought that the disabled have no light to shed on the ritual baptism of babies: Perhaps we should consider this: Don't the ritual baptisers of babies also propose an undefined and unscriptural Age of "X" within their doctrine? (Even if they try to...

From Post #1: And Post #8: Those people are a special case. They have no light to throw on the ritual baptism of infants. Is that herring I see, coloured red?
