    Luther and the Jews

    Post #47: DHoffmann was just kidding. Dhoffmann thinks it's super silly for someone to make outrageous examples out of some others individuals expense... no matter how it may fortify their defense, it's all in all 'tacky' says Dhoffmann Pedrito understood that DHoffman was joking in his Post...

    Luther and the Jews

    Post #44: Don't beat your wife Pedrito. That is not friendly. Post #45: I dont think he still does It beats Pedrito why anyone thinks he might, or might have. Even if we do march to the beat of a different drum sometimes. But Pedrito does beat his arms at times, and beats egg whites for his...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Post 238, commenting on Post #237: Actually, Pedrito would suggest that he actually did understand. Pedrito was merely highlighting an example of the lengths that are gone to, attempting to show that the Bible is not an internally consistent document, and that therefore it is not a source of...

    Inspiration of Scripture

    ...Continued In his former post (Post #28), Pedrito stated that Jesus’ actions in Mark 5:1-20 were decidedly important. The Reader might have wondered why that is so. First of all, Jesus, by taking the actions He did, gave Scriptural credence to the Jewish exorcism procedure recorded in...

    Did Luther promote Polygamy??!!

    From Post #24: Actually – Pedrito has knowledge of such situations because he once had a strong interest in what is termed foreign missions. Many “Evangelical” missions used to force the converted husbands to abandon any and all wives taken after the first, together with their children...

    Inspiration of Scripture

    Perceived contradictions in Holy Scripture can normally be explained (not explained away) in the light of one of three considerations. They are: - The superficiality with which most (if not all) denominations condition their adherents to address Scripture. The leaders (and others) know that a...

    Even without faith Jesus is still Savior

    Of course Jesus is Saviour, even without faith. Jesus is the Saviour of the world, no matter what. Even if we can’t consider the words of the Samaritans whom Jesus taught personally, to be trustworthy, (John 4:20-42: 40 So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    In Post 247 Pedrito presented the following reliable meanings he had found for the word "perish" in five dictionaries[emphasis added]: Pedrito also presented a definition from one only dictionary that, based on the evidence supplied for its support, shows it to be contrived: "spiritual death"...

    what is the reasoning behind purgatory?

    ...Continued from Post #14 on Page 2. The idea that the rite of baptism washes all previous sins away, but that sins committed thereafter have to be atoned for some other way, is shown to be merely an invention of Man, a product of philosophical speculation. It is far removed from the original...

    Post 218: ============================================================================================== Perish everlastingly? Lets have a look at some enlightening dictionary definitions. Pedrito consulted the following dictionaries: - MacMillan Dictionary of the American Language; -...

    Luther and the Jews

    Pedrito in Post #21 30: The response in Post #32 was: Which obviously it did not. ============================================================================================== Pedrito has warned about the technique of deflection before – steering attention away from “dangerous” questions...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Post 232: For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1 Corinthians 14:33 KJV However: Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” Genesis 11:7 NIV Not trying to argue. Just food for thought to emphasize...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    In Post #125, the Poster gave a direct answer to the question “saved from what”: Saved from the just wrath of God is the answer. However, none of the creeds actually says that. That has now been firmly established. So Pedrito must now seek clarification regarding: - What form or forms does...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Pedrito's thoughts as expressed in Post #110 were confirmed recently when historical "Cabinet papers" were released. (The Cabinet is the inner sanctum of senior members of the governing political party.) The papers were from the era when the poltical party that had formerly tried to stay in...

    Should Australia become a Republic?

    Post #50: Post #51: Post #55: The wife of the heir to the royal throne of Denmark (the Crown Princess) is from Tasmania. She also seems to be a clever lady. Pedrito doesn't think she's Dutch.

    Luther and the Jews

    Two points can be raised here. 1. Are the “quotes” from Luther’s writings one sees quoted elsewhere on the internet – sickening quotes, including one expressing his potential mutilation of his wife – actually true? If so, that says much about the man and his attitudes. 2. Were his tirades...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    Post #122, in reply to the statement in Post #121 - (Jesus was quite clear. All folk are recipients of salvation. This is God's action not any humans'; Paul similarly declares that as "all in Adam died (through no choice of their own) so all in Christ are made alive (also through no choice of...

    Assurance or Arrogance

    Post #23: The pigeon-hole in Pedrito’s wall for that sort of statement is “cop out”. That is simply because that style of statement is often used by people who don’t know what the balanced Scriptural position is, and don’t want to make the effort to find out. Pedrito is open to being proven...

    Why are Some Saved and Not Others?

    In Post #204, the Poster said: Well, if that Poster doesn't believe that his interpretation is better than others', why is he promoting it so strongly? Why bother to promote something that he does not believe to be the most correct among the possible alternatives? Actions speak louder than...

    Assurance or Arrogance

    From Post #26 [emphasis added]: #13 is where I see a list of scriptures that MIGHT SEEM to imply a person who is saved is not always saved, but can somehow 'lose' their salvation or have it revoked? But its more examples of taking chopped portions of passages out of context and attaching them...
