    Why didn't Jesus die for the other thief?

    Not necessarily. Some people refuse the forgiveness. That's another way of putting the principle that you always miss or have no willingness to talk about.

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    Not speaking of particular ideas, but of the personal PROFILE that each of us completes and which can be seen under the logo/picture that we have chosen for ourselves. But you repeatedly say that you are not in harmony with Christianity, so making that change would be helpful and wouldn't keep...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    How about you ask to have "Eastern Orthodox" removed from your personal profile, now that you have admitted that your connection to that church is only "nominal" and you don't believe the Bible in any case--as you stated here? That change would make discussing things easier for anyone trying to...

    What now for Republicans?

    If that conclusion is to be applied to everything that happens, which is what people who consider every last thing any government does, whether good or bad, to be... then what explains the creation of the American Republic with its values and its role, later on, in defeating several of the most...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Hi there, and a Happy Christmas to you. Yes, I know what you mean, but that's a problem when any one of us drops into a discussion that's been going on for some time. It can be a chore to read through it all and try to catch up. However, that's not the case when--as it was the situation with...

    Should churches close Christmas Day due to low attendance?

    I'd say "no" if that's the reason, but when they do make this decision to cancel services it probably also is based on thinking that people--not all of the usual attendees but some--trying to get to the church would involve them taking risks with life and limb because of the weather. So, for...

    Biblical understanding

    Why are you so agitated? Most of the controversies arising from Bible verses are mistakes in the reading and others are a matter of interpretation. For them, there is a resolution if the rest of Scripture--not just that one line or verse such as you have presented in your post--is consulted...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    Very well, but what are we Christians supposed to do? The answer that we accept and believe IS there, and if you don't accept it yourself, there's no reason why you should be talking as though there's no basis for us to believe as we do. I have done so. In the past several posts (well, more...

    Is the doctrine of Penal Substitution incoherent?

    No, you initiated this debate by asserting that he was not kind or merciful, as Christians believe him to be. If you now want to move along to the next question, one that arises only after we've settled the first one, that's all right. Why was that way necessary, you ask. Well, SOMETHING of...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    In other words, you don't believe the Bible. That is what you told me in the earlier post (" Eve [presumably] heard God. With her own ears. I did not. I was merely told that a book was His word..") No explanations about why you don't believe that account in Genesis are necessary. Hey! No...

    Is the doctrine of Penal Substitution incoherent?

    Okay, but those are not seven different answers to the question. They are seven slightly different explanations of the same basic answer, i.e. how God in his mercy (or kindness) provided a way for fallen humanity to be saved (through the incarnation and the crucifixion) .

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    If you don't believe the book, that probably does explain why you cannot believe that God is kind but that some people can refuse even the best deals that are offered to them and instead trust to their own efforts when it comes to the future. But for Christians, the answer to the problem that...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    Honest mistakes happen. But If you will cast your eyes to the left of the page, you will see that I am an Anglican. No, I'm not a universalist.

    That would help our examination of this issue. List them for us, please.

    Is the doctrine of Penal Substitution incoherent?

    I made no assumptions about that, and I have no idea how much of the Bible you've read. None of that figured into my reply to you anyway. What I did say was that the answer to your concern is right there in the first book of the Bible. You seemed to be unaware of this fact. On this issue we...

    The 5 points of TULIP for 1689Dave

    Your story, however, doesn't run parallel to the matter we've been discussing. In order to make it comparable, we must note that the children not only do drugs and get into trouble all the time, but also that YOU, the "very rich" man in your story do not just abandon the two children who are...

    Is the doctrine of Penal Substitution incoherent?

    Read Genesis. The "reason" is not elusive at all. There's no secret. The Bible is the "most available" book in world history. Certainly, but that doesn't mean that NOTHING had been understood before. If that were so, no one would have known what a prophet was or what a prophet does and so...

    A Jewish way of looking at salvation

    And then there are those who think they are understanding the scripture as the ancients would but who still are reading it as if it were written today. These pages hold many examples of that.

    What now for Republicans?

    Unfortunately, we've drifted into a situation that I think is unique in our history as a nation. There are major problems with our country's values and policies, but there is no good way to go for anyone wanting to address them. Not with respect to elections and government, that is. The...
