    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    Very Well. Here is the proof that it does not say what you claimed-- (John10 regarding the Pharisees) “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd...

    Acts 2:38-39

    But you just explained that they DO, not that they don't. All that you clarified was that the age requirement was broader than some people might think. However, I assume that everyone who has posted on this thread has been aware that there is no 'magic age' like 18 or 21 or 15, but that: A) it...

    Prove that from scripture?

    If "it" needs to be proven, then there is no authority that beats divine revelation. First, there is no reason to think that Scripture reveals all the truths in the universe. It has a purpose and reveals the information that God chose to reveal in order to guide mankind towards salvation. As...

    Acts 2:38-39

    ...which is what happens with young children who are baptized in all of the historic Christian churches. It's what happened to me. No, and I didn't mean to convey that meaning in my comments. But no second-grader (for instance) can make a profession of faith that rivals that of a teen or adult...

    The Doctrine of Limited Atonement Now in a Debate Approved Area.

    That may be the way you'd rather it be, but that passage doesn't say what you are claiming.

    Common Figure of Speech?

    It's a fair question, but I suggest that some of the wording that is used misleads people who are interested in the topic. We hear "figure of speech, " but it's not really what we understand by that phrase. Rather, what is meant is "in Hebrew usage." And then it is also misleading to make the...

    Why didn't Jesus die for the other thief?

    There is nothing unusual about that. A number of details about events occurring during the life of Jesus are recorded in one or perhaps more of the Gospels but not in all of them. If this exchange between the thief and Jesus were critical to understanding the cause, meaning, and so on of the...

    Why didn't Jesus die for the other thief?

    I'm sorry about that. I began my reply intent upon explaining the meaning of Paradise and accidentally typed that word where I meant to write the word Heaven! I edited that slip-up, but it looks like I somehow failed to get the computer to cooperate. If you read as far as the second paragraph...

    Acts 2:38-39

    In my post, I made mention of the fact that Baptist congregations will baptize young teens, and children as young as 8, so I agreed that they do not insist upon actual adulthood. That is a convenient excuse for baptizing children, and it's not credible. The concepts of guilt, the Incarnation of...

    Acts 2:38-39

    By "age limit" I/we are referring to the exclusion of some people on account of their age. While it's probably more common to think of an age limit (for anything) as requiring the candidate to have achieved, more or less, a certain age in order to be eligible, the opposite does happen sometimes...

    Millennialism and Dispensationalism (No Debate)

    Hello, Josiah. Thank you for including me on your list, but I'm afraid that I will be of no use to you on this particular topic. Dispensationalism has never held any interest for me, in part because I think that if there is some pattern to Christian history which is the doing of God, it will be...

    United Methodist Splitting up

    Alas, the middle way in everything seems lost on contemporary Protestantism. That aside, I'm wondering who shows up for each of those services you mentioned, and doesn't this format create two different congregations in effect??

    Whoopi Goldberg sparks more outrage. Called Antisemetic

    If the Jews are a race, they are victims. If they are a religion, they are victims. If they are neither, they are victims. Get it now? or would you like to expand upon your positive assessment of death camps and the "Final Solution?"

    The best human trait

    Hmmm. I don't know why either, but I am sure Lamb can fix it for you. I cannot imagine why "Baptist" wouldn't be the right entry, and the fact that there are various Baptist conventions as well as independent congregations wouldn't make any difference.

    Whoopi Goldberg sparks more outrage. Called Antisemetic

    Good point, New Creation! I suppose it's because there are people who have the same narrowminded and arrogant attitudes that the regulars on that show have. So they like hearing someone considered to be a celeb "seconding" their own prejudices. In this case, Whoopi doesn't even seem to know how...

    The best human trait

    Hi, "YesLordIWill." All of us here would be pleased to help you with any Christian issue. I see that you list your church affiliation as "Other Church," so what is that?? It would help us in answering any doctrinal questions.

    The best human trait

    Don, we already know that you are a believer in whatever your own denomination teaches, including about its supposed uniqueness and the invalidity of every other Christian church. Telling us constantly that you do so believe is not accomplishing anything. We "heard" it the first time, so try...

    How can you prove from scripture you were baptized?

    We've already been around that mulberry bush. Besides, this is the Christian Advice Requested forum, and you are neither a Christian by its definition nor seeking advice, so take it elsewhere.

    Biblical understanding

    IF you identify the true church as having bishops in Apostolic Succession--which you did!--then there are quite a few different Christian churches which meet your test. :)

    Interactive Religion?

    But being that he WAS God, you are saying that he pleased himself by dying. This theory makes the crucifixion into an exercise in masochism rather than a payment for the punishment that mankind (or the Elect, if you prefer) deserved.
