Isn't it possible for him to be a member of the BOC and also have another place for him? Everything Peter wrote in scripture was written to members of the BOC, and he called himself an "elder" as their leaders were elders. He called them Christians. He said Paul had written to them (the people...

This is well done, JR.

Perhaps one day you'll realize where Peter realized he was wrong in some areas.

Don't bother for me--I'm convinced Peter and Paul were saying the same thing in different words.

"How"...not "where". You have to squint your eyes just right to see it.

It doesn't matter in terms of the resurrection, because all will rise. After that, EVERYONE will believe in Jesus and his power to raise the dead! So what makes the difference after that? I'm thinking it's one's willingness to obey, we will be entering his kingdom, after all. There's a group...

I'd be willing to say salvation can be lost, as long as we understand what that salvation is--resurrection from death. Then our names can be blotted out of the book of life, leading to the second death.

That's what he told US! And we need to believe it. What he told Moses was different, and Moses and friends needed to believe THAT! What he told Abraham was different, still. What he told Noah was, again, different. Adam--different. But they were also the same--that God was going to resurrect...

We're not saved by faith in His DBR, are we? Isn't our faith in him, and what he's told us? Just knowing about the DBR won't do it--the demons believe that it happened. The faith isn't in the power of the DBR, as the activity has no actual power. But the power to resurrect someone is something...

Can you explain what you mean by "paths"?

Yet you think there are multiple ways to achieve eternal life. John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. If we can't agree on that, there's no point in arguing over same or different gospels.

It would be a better match for him.

And apparently has nothing to offer the discussion, by his implicit admission.

I figured you wouldn't understand.

So you need "coordinated randomness"? I hope you can see how sophomoric that is.

Not if he's too cowardly to respond to mine.

Yes, because the gospel of the kingdom was related to eternal life. Unless there are two paths to eternal life, then the gospels must converge. [Mat 19:24-26 KJV] 24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the...

I would appreciate it if you not comment on my threads unless you're willing to actually communicate with me directly. I.e., take me off you're ignore list, or move along.

I don't have a problem with God's law setting us at liberty, either. I'm saying they are compatible concepts, and therefore don't need to be differentiated as distinct gospels.

I don't have much problem with any of that except calling it a "gospel" on par with the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
