    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    In life, there are all sorts of erroneous beliefs, and no one here is saying that the Holy Spirit placed them into anybody's mind.

    Your pet's personality

    I've heard from "dog experts" that bulldogs are among the best breeds when it comes to companionship and cuddliness, even though their fierce look makes people think it's the opposite.

    I don't find belief to be volitional and I don't understand why the majority does

    If we believe in something that doesn't exist (for instance gnomes or a flat Earth), then that belief is unimportant. But if you were to believe in the Bible record and in Jesus Christ, along with his revelations and promises, we'd call that "Faith" because the story involves facts that cannot...

    Were OT Laws Simply for Barbaric Times?

    In this society, I don't think we have too much to worry about when it comes to people stoning adulterers, but approximately one million babies were aborted last year.

    Are you supposed to forgive "some" only?

    What "they" actually say under those circumstances, I don't know. However, it would seem that somebody who believes in predestination could logically put it the way you have described here IF he was trying to be technically correct. I do know that there are some few Calvinists who are opposed...

    Were OT Laws Simply for Barbaric Times?

    About the same way as I've compared hypothetical threats from, for example, a miniscule group like the "Christian Nationalists," to real threats from opponents of anything that smacks of the Christian religion, from manger scenes to the placing of Bibles in motel rooms. As a matter of fact...

    Doctrines that Destroy Lives

    Either way, it's not what OSAS means.

    Doctrines that Destroy Lives

    I really don't care, but you are misrepresenting OSAS when you say that a person can claim he believes in Christ, etc. and then go ahead live like a heathen and have salvation guaranteed. It's one or the other--you have saving Faith and live like it, or you don't have Faith even if you say you...

    Doctrines that Destroy Lives

    I mean that the OSAS principle (whether you or I actually believe it) is that a person who has been saved has been saved by Faith, and if he has Faith, he will live like a follower of Christ, not as youi described with your friend or anyone else. There is no way to cheat God according to this...

    Prayer with No Action?

    That's an example of a problem that the person who prays possibly CAN possibly affect with some action on his part. But that doesn't mean there aren't lots of prayers offered to God precisely because the person doing the praying knows that there is nothing he can do. You asked, "Does anyone...

    Doctrines that Destroy Lives

    Your friend may have done that, but it's not because of OSAS! That's because OSAS rules out such a notion as he was holding onto.

    Were OT Laws Simply for Barbaric Times?

    The "secular people" have a lot less to be scared about than Christian people have to worry about at the hands of the secularists who are steadily crushing freedom of religion.

    Born again

    Very well, "insist" might not have been the best word for it, but you did more in your posts than merely offer an opinion. I responded to an error of fact that was used to prop up that opinion, and I explained why it was in error.

    Prayer with No Action?

    Yes. Many of the prayers that are directed to God involve situations over which the person doing the praying has no control. When a person turns to God in prayer, it's often because he has no way of influencing developments himself.

    Doctrines that Destroy Lives

    Apparently, there's some confusion about what "OSAS" actually entails. No one is believed to be saved with the result that he then knows he's free to spend a lifetime willfully sinning while safe from any possibility of losing his salvation.

    Born again

    That's true, he did. BUT we know what was meant by the term, and everyone who uses it in a religious discussion these days knows what it means. I have never met anyone who, upon hearing somebody refer to being "born again" in a discussion about faith or baptism or conversion, took the...

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    All we can do on discussion boards like this one is go by what the other person has written.

    Born again

    OKay, but it seems to me that there's nothing wrong or lacking with the customary wording--"Born Again."

    Completely legalizing marijuana

    What you insist upon "missing," though, is that this is not simply a matter of "My body, my choice." What a hallucinating individual can do to other people should concern you as well. Then when you move beyond marijuana and say "I think we need to make illegal drugs legal," wow. That means...
