Greetings FCC, I said I would be in big trouble if you were right because if sin is falsity and I don't believe what you are saying then I am in sin because I'm not believing the truth. Actually, falsity is the property of evil. Being evil is not a sin….being evil is just what we are due to the fall...

Hi FCC, I feel like the guy that showed up with a knife to a gun fight. Nonsense. We just need to test our belief systems. There's nothing to fear if we seek the truth to the best of our ability, though we may both end up with some things to chew on. Adjustments to personal theology are a sign of gr...

Hello FCC, What concerns me is that you have to spiritualize so much of the bible to come to your conclusions. The rule of thumb that I was taught in the study of the scriptures is to take everything literally unless otherwise indicated. You seem to take the opposite aproach. In taking this aproach ...

Hello FCC, Thanks for jumping back in. I spend little time in Revelation and don't pretent to know all its mysteries, but should preface my response by saying I believe the Bible is first and foremost a spiritual book. As such, the literal is primarily a tool to teach deeper prinicples. I also belie...

I understand, C1127. Frankly, given your work load, I doubted you'd be able to continue this discussion. You've identified in your post what is to me probably the single biggest problem with theology boards, that they're really not very good for much more than the '20 second sound bite' forms of dia...

Hello C1127, Thanks for responding. I welcome other comments, too. If there are any others reading who see inconsistencies in my theology, I'd be happy to field carefully constructed, non-emotional criticisms. I'd argue there can be crisis points in sanctification Interesting notion. I'd be interest...

C1127, In answer to your third question, Why would such a concept [as progressive regeneration] be considered universal in scope?… First, consider the verses I used for a starting point in my first post. Second, through His prophets, God makes many promises to all nations and all flesh. Kind David, ...

Hello C1127, Thanks for taking time from your busy schedule to reply. While I do not fall cleanly into a Calvinistic or Arminian camp that does not mean that I am stating that both are wrong. Nor do I. In fact, I believe C and A, as stated in somewhat different terms in other posts, are views which ...

Re: The Bible reveals the nature of spirit, by making an ana
Hi m7, Soul is where your thoughts and reasoning occurs. Spirit is the seat of motivation and direction -the deepest most part of you. Motivation (spirit) is tempered by reason (soul) and produces action (body) which manipulates the physical world we live in. I find it interesting that Jesus Christ ...

Bernie. Just so we are clear from the onset, We will discuss this and I rather suspect that neither one of us will convince the other. However, so there is no misunderstanding, I refer you to the Discussion Guidelines. This board does not exist to promote endless debate on these issues. The doctrin...

Hello C1127, Thanks for your response. I'll tell you up front that it is not sufficient to pick and choose those verses that taken by themselves support a position, or drawn out of context from different passages to form a doctrine where no such teaching exists in substantive whole from any one pass...
