    Casting Pearls Before Swine

    So, no preachers come to mind as ones helping the "lot of people" to think such a thing.

    Casting Pearls Before Swine

    I don't know. I asked you, the poster who wrote "Infants are born into sin, but preachers soften things not to offend people" in post #9, to explain what you meant by that. IOW, what preachers are denying that infants are born in sin?

    Casting Pearls Before Swine

    My question asked what preachers you had in mind when saying that they soften things (meaning, I think, the sinful state of all men prior to redemption). That seemed like a dubious charge, considering that the great majority of Christians belong to churches whose clergy routinely operate in...

    Till the Last Penny Paid

    I suppose one could say that...and come up with all sorts of different rationalizations. But if we go by the verses on either side of the issue--which is what people normally do whenever any doctrinal question arises--the ones that may support a universalist view are few and not very definite...

    Casting Pearls Before Swine

    The universalist concept is of universal salvation, not that anyone merely has a chance. ? what preachers did you have in mind?

    Till the Last Penny Paid

    If the existence of an eternal hell is approached on the basis of Scripture, there are indeed relevant verses and some of them fall on one side of the issue while others fall on the other side. One problem is that they all require some interpretation, and none say "Yes a hell where unbelievers...

    Is the Antichrist in your church?

    If you are unable or unwilling to prove such a claim, you shouldn't direct it against anyone here.

    Sweet and Meek - Until Taking Power

    I know that it was. But true or not, it doesn't come close to a meaningful comparison of the two (which, I think, was what you intended). Maybe, at this stage, we need to refer back to your Original Post so that we don't lose track of the real question that it asked. As I read it, you are...

    Till the Last Penny Paid

    Hi, Jason. I was referring to the Original Post in this thread, which you wrote yesterday. In it you made reference to how Catholics...and also how Universalists...interpret that verse you gave us. I'm not saying that I agree with the idea that either one of them has about the last penny...

    Sweet and Meek - Until Taking Power

    Money is important to both Communists and the rest of us?? Is that the point? Well, yes, I suppose that is a true statement, but it doesn't come anywhere near identifying what makes Communism different from other forms of government! The statement is like saying that people on the far left...

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    You, my friend, are very confused. Or at least conflicted. Read back through what you've posted and you might see it.

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    Say WHAT? You've been arguing that Christ did save all of his Elect and that Faith has nothing to do with that process. So now, you've taken to saying that the shedding of his blood didn't save anyone??

    Are we saved by not resisting the Holy Spirit?

    You already said that. The Bible disagrees. Then too, I'm trying to think of any Christian denomination that agrees with the Church of Dave on that matter, and it's not easy.

    What do you think about these Martin Luther quotes?

    I'm uneasy about you classifying Jesus as one who does "not have God." Also, the Sermon on the Mount certainly does not define NT Testament ethics. It is part of Jesus' message, but not the whole of it.

    Are we saved by not resisting the Holy Spirit?

    You reject Faith, although it is talked about as critically important all over the New Testament. At the same time, however, you describe it in your post here...just without using that word!

    Does Free Will make God out to be a Bully?

    Just your personal slant on the subject, then.

    What do you think about these Martin Luther quotes?

    Are you referring to the same Jesus of Nazareth who whipped the moneychangers in the Temple, drove them out of the place, and trashed their equipment there? Or the Jesus who urged his Apostles to arm themselves with swords shortly before he was going to be arrested by the Roman guards? Both...

    Sweet and Meek - Until Taking Power

    I don't doubt for a moment that they would blame Christians. But here are two aspects of that matter to keep in mind-- A] While Christian churches and individuals have indeed behaved oppressively towards non-believers, you are referring to centuries long past. There is hardly a Christian...

    As I said, you referred to them in your own post.

    Till the Last Penny Paid

    I don't want to oppose you just for the sake of being argumentative, but you just identified several different ways in which that verse CAN, in fact, be gotten around. At least in a qualified sort of way.
