I’m not opposed to the idea, but the evidence is slim. Wait til he gets back in office, and the evidence will be greater. I’m not a Trump lover/worshipper, and the vaccine push could be what kills any chance he has at a comeback.

I can assure you that they do. Though not as a wafer with wine. New word for me, skubalon. Fitting, for the most part, though she used to get things right occasionally. The problem you have is that you’ve (including all Catholics??) defined a new concept that doesn’t appear anywhere else in...

Obviously you have no answer with that kind of response.

Mark 16, maybe? The prohibition in Genesis 9:2-4 was against eating the blood of animals. The murder prohibition that followed prevents the other aspects, unless the person dies willingly. Leviticus is a little stronger, but mainly in the preceding verses to your reference. It forbids any...

The preview doesn't work on TOL, so you have to click the link to see the speed of heavy.

Thank you, Clete, I did actually read some of this thread and the other one before posting. I'm trying to understand why they think there's warrant for taking the scripture so literal in this one aspect, while not bothering to in another. I don't believe the wine and bread become body and...

All Protestants believe Christ is present in the Eucharist, just like we believe He is present in our other worship services. Matthew 18:20 (KJV) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. But if Christ is present only when a priest blesses the...

You could prove me wrong…

I have no idea what you’re talking about, and I suspect you don’t either.

How are you checking the distances? “Exact time” means you need to transfer time. Back to the other problem.

“At the same time” is where you get into trouble, sneaking in the 2-way speed of light. Time transfer involves getting the time info at one clock to the other one (or both to a third location), and so that requires sending information at the speed of light or something related to it. Plus...

You just can’t be sure which category you’re in until judgment day. Are you foreknown? Or never known? The never-knowns all thought they were foreknowns, until they were judged.

But if they are responsible for their own sins, they must not have been forgiven of them. Yet vs 28 says all sins shall be forgiven, with vs 29 the only caveat.

Well, it’s at least taught in the scripture I cited. I don’t think I said anything in my post that is contradictory to that. Maybe I didn’t say it very clearly. Maybe it would help if I equated “propensity to sin” with “fallen nature”. And “God’s people” with the Israelites that came out of...

Can you start us out with a synopsis and a website?

Because He was focusing on the more important sin of rejecting the Holy Spirit’s prompting, which is <eventually> unforgivable.

What is the penalty for sin? Death. What will happen to every person? Death (Enoch and Elijah might be deferred). Thus every person is born with a sentence of death that has to be set aside in some way—except Jesus. He is also the only one after Adam and Eve without a human father. Therefore it...

God can do a lot of things He doesn’t tell us about. But if we assume He does them, we’re outside of His revealed truth. Studying the Bible for 50 years doesn’t allow us to make up stuff about God.

And pink elephants can fly.

Then you agree that there are no flying pink elephants in the gospel—and you know that because scripture tells us nothing about flying pink elephants in the gospel. That’s great! Now apply that same mode of thinking to your posts—and be careful not to add to scripture by saying Adam was indwelt...
