Because you don't rightly divide. Take off the catholic glasses, so that you can see clearly. Not once in the Bible does Paul preach the remission of sins. That should tell you something. In fact, the only times the word is used is in Matthew once, Mark once, Luke thrice, Acts twice, and...

There's a number of things wrong with everything you said here. But allow me to summarize with a few proverbs and Bible verses: - “No man should be judge in his own cause.” - “The fox should not guard the henhouse.” - “We investigated ourselves and found ourselves free of any wrongdoing.”...

He did. There were new people being added daily to it. Acts 2:47. They're two different churches. Why is that so hard for you to accept? Jesus only talked about the first one because the second one was still at that time a mystery kept secret. It was only after His people (as a whole)...

Most of these issues are the result of bad law and policies implemented over a long period of time. Many if not most of the people in law enforcement are generally good people with good intentions. Unfortunately, because of those bad policies and bad laws, and especially given the last several...

Jesus was going to build His church upon Himself, rather than the law of Moses. Not the Apostles. The New Covenant was with the same two parties as the Old Covenant.

Correct. And Peter isn't the foundation. Jesus is. Correct. Paul said: For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in...

Thread derailment. Take it to a different thread, please.

No. I am simply applying a single definition of knowledge to both cases. Knowledge means knowledge. Foreknowledge means prior knowledge. The difference between man’s knowledge and God’s knowledge is not that the word “knowledge” changes meaning when applied to God. God’s knowledge is...

@Clete something else to consider is that the floodwaters remained on the earth for nearly half a year after the initial rupture. It's possible that much of the debris fell into the global ocean during that time.

That depends on relative velocity. If two large bodies collide from unrelated trajectories at high relative speed, then yes, they tend to shatter rather than merge. But that is not the only possible scenario. Material ejected from the same event, in related streams, in the same general...

And departed, it seems.

Fair enough. I appreciate the clarification. Maybe not, but I think we at least clarified where the disagreement is. Allow me to make one last attempt to state my position clearly, and if you still think it won't go anywhere, I'll leave things be. I don't think I'm sitting on either horn...

Changing one person's mind is easy. You will never change the minds of millions of people.

Why? What have I done to deserve this sort of treatment of my arguments from you, Clete?

There are very few "rational people" on the left.
