Wow! Check this out Clete!

I can read Greek, but am not able to recognize all Greek intimations: επιστευσαμε (E-sword has a free download that helps quite a bit with my Greek called "Greek NT Int-erlinear" The Greek word επιστευσαμε is Aorist (completed) Active Indicative (great free online lessons with quizzes) First...

"In Remembrance" also important. There are all kinds of keys and indicators missed. When Paul mentions communion, it is a potlatch in several instances. Communion started as 'the Last Supper.' Matthew 26:26 " blood of the covenant" (He hadn't shed yet but it is the last supper they...

🤔 All three were involved in His resurrection.

No. It. Isn't. Okay, you bought the line. It is not shared by any means. No, of course I cannot prove something to someone who doesn't care about facts. I gave them. Done deal. Not in the church building where they are supposed to be safe! My fellowship has FBI checks. You said...

I cannot argue with a man who loves his organization "no matter what." It is a done deal, I can't touch it or you. For you? You might call it longsuffering or such and I'll not question your forgiving love, but absolutely not for me. Paul and Barnabas went two separate ways. Paul...

One statistic has a higher mortality rate among those who took the inoculation over those who did not! O.o

Because it is true? It is true. I know you love your church and will make up whatever you can, not because it is true, but because you have a stigma that fits with your Catholic expectation. When you have 'all ways lead to heaven,' ministers who are easily celibate because they don't...

2 Timothy 2:24 And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient I've seen leaps and bounds in you on this, Clete. Keep it up brother! While you are doing well, there are a good number of laughing 'likes' on his posts. While icons are rudimentary, a...

I don't think purposefully, lying, stupid, or evil. It is more that we have bibles where everything is mixed, trying to make sense of 'all of it' as the Word of God. Patience, love, and explanation go a long way. TOL is not known for coddling but I think it the best tack: 2 Timothy...

I think this exactly right and succinct. We confuse the two because for a Jew, it was a sign 'he/she was a Jew' in God's favor. I'd think a Grace Bible would be a thoughtful help: O.T. "To Jews" NT "To Jews" NT "To Gentiles" Then in side notes: "To Jews with gentile principles...

At first, yes, way out of character but then I noticed you forgot your quotey marks so I edited. :D

Did I do fairly well explaining the Mid Acts position?

For me, it has always been: "God is good and just and therefore do what is just and right as His nature acts. John 20:30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the...

Explain, was this to Nick? If to me: I tried to explain the 'Mid Acts' position as I understand it (again, confusion for clearing up, I'm puzzled, potentially hurting with/for you, especially if to me). -Lon

Not what he is saying. He is saying impasse. His theology is that James and Paul are not the same. Glory has said that she used to be Mid Acts. I'd reckon the blending of James' message and Paul's is at odds. For me, it is clear that Paul and James would argue. Perhaps another...

Not all, or even most Calvinists believe infants are hellbound. Rather, Jesus is the only way. It plays on this thread insomuch as God knows all things, thus whether a child would be good or evil, but for me, there is no reason to go too far down the speculation road. John 21:22 "Jesus...

He was saying you two type/think alike. It used to be a more common question when some of the posters on TOL had two or three aliases. In any sense that one poster posts like another, it heralds back to those days.

See? You are so caught up in the physical. It saddens me. You are missing it brother! I know emotional. It is no bad thing, but don't confuse emotion of a moment with what is Spiritual. "Feeling" closer isn't closer. You practice communion incredibly more spiritually (incredibly)...
