The "proof text" is the doctrinal statements of the denominations i listed.

IF you care to learn what i know, then take my word for it, or just read their statements.

And believe me, a discussion with you, is less then a "one way street", its in fact a dead end.

 

Please refrain from getting personal in this thread going forward.

I am just curious,  are you saying that an abortion and a sacrifice of a baby are the same thing to the person doing this?  I would say that taking a life of a born child is vastly harder then taking the life of a child you have not seen.  Both are sick and sinful, but I would think there is a vast difference in the numbers of abortion verses child sacrifices.  I don;'t see these deaths as equal, meaning that because there are many who would allow abortions, for some reason it is hard for me to accept that these same people would hand over a live child that they had been with for a period of time for a sacrifice.  That is just numbing to think it would be the same.

The problem is the lack of value placed on the human life in the first place. Again, I'm not saying this is happening, just that when life is devalued in such a way as this *anything* is possible. All you have to do is look around at our culture, right now, to see that.

Do you think it makes sense to say you know women are getting babies aborted legally at clinics so that means that it is more likely that there is global secret mass baby sacrifice at midnight halloween every year in every country that noone knows about?

Not at all. I'm saying that on that day and on every day in the united states there is a mass murder of babies, so pretending like such a thing is impossible from a moral perspective or that there are too few people willing to kill babies for such a thing to happen is absolute nonsense.

I dont understand. I thought you said babies were being sacrificed in every country at midnight on halloween. That's a mass sacrifice and would actually have featured in international news if it were to happen. 

So you witnessed these mass murders in real life or partook in them then? 

I'm not speaking to other-one's claim being right or wrong, but i would simply point out that this country allows (indeed largely supports) the murder on average of somewhere around 1700 babies or so every single day of the week. Through that lens, such claims are not all that outlandish to me.

Would moderation at some point moderate. Please!

It would be helpful if things were reported so moderation knew that there was a necessity to moderate!

To make it simple enough for all involved though. Any getting personal going forward will result in the one who does so being immediately removed from this thread upon our discovery of it.

I wonder, my friend, if you really follow the scripture? You are ignoring it here.

First, what did Jesus TELL THEM?

15 minutes ago, iamlamad said:

Now I get it! Now I understand how you answer: you disregard any scripture that does not fit your theory, and write again and again those scriptures that do fit your theory. 

I will give you one more chance to read and believe:  Here is what Jesus said:

.........

So you can go ahead and continue ignoring this, or if not ignore, SYMBOLIZE IT so it can fit your theory.

I have a novel idea! Just throw your false theory into the trash, and start new, this time BELIEVING what is written as it is written!

Please refrain from personal attacks such as this in the future. Doing so will result in your removal from the thread.

If you cannot respond to simple statements, you are not fit to have a discussion. I refuse to talk to the wall. You are totally wasting your time writing so much because I don't read it, so unless you touch on what I said before and respond to what I said, this discussion is over.

I thought his post was very informative. Why was it deleted?

Mainly because BB knows he is supposed to post things like that in the Soteriology forum, but also because he said he just copied it from another thread, which makes it redundant.

Good question , Renee! Lol.....I thought that post was a “Masterpiece”...... lol. I would pray REAL HARD before I  deleted that post......

Firstly, there is already an equivalent post on the forums, which you admit yourself in the first paragraph. Secondly, what exactly are you implying?

I moved the topic here because this is a more appropriate forum.

I mean no disrespect to Mr. Trump or to anyone else by saying this. As it is what I truly believe from Bible studies I have done.  But what I think is this.  If Trump wins. I will believe that this is part of  God's plan,  and the reason for that being is that Trump is the anti-Christ who must come into power in order to fulfill prophecy. So many things seem to be pointing to these being  last days. I think it is time we start to get ready.

Could I be wrong? Yes I could be. As I am not all knowing and maybe Trump is the gateway to the true anti-Christ to come? That could also be God's plan. But anyway, I think that is the roll that is being played out here.  

Anyway. That is what I think about all of this and again, no disrespect to anyone intended. 

What specific scriptural support do you have for this statement? I'm quite interested to know. This post was reported as an insult to the president. I'm of the mind to leave this up - but only if this is your valid theological opinion and you can demonstrate that you have derived this from scriptural studies (even if you're wrong and I am positive you are on purely theological grounds!). I'm not asking you to be right and I will disagree with you, I am certain, but if you can show where your studies led you to believe this, I am okay with this post.

I believe this thread has ran its course. Lots of getting personal now.

I removed some a post and some responses to the original post. While not a personal attack, suggesting something like was suggested is way out of bounds.

Marilyn, where in the world have you been? Is this time for that proverbial turnip truck?

Jesus came to earth to become MAN! (though He was still very much a part of the godhead.)

John tells us in a covert way that ONLY A MAN could be qualified to take the book and open the seals.

Can you see it now? For all of "time" up to 2 BC or so, God was NOT man. He BECAME man by being born of a virgin.

John further covertly tells us that only a man who can CONQUER DEATH (of His own power) could qualify to take the book and open the seals.

Can you see it now? Jesus was NOT qualified as a preincarnate God. He was NOT qualified as the SON of God walking the earth. He was still not qualified after He died for our sins. No, He had to "prevail" over death first before He was qualified.

In other words, Jesus FINALLY was qualified to take the book and open the seals AFTER He rose from the dead.

BTW The Lord was and is in the GODHEAD, that is why no man was found in the big search  And the GODHEAD is BEYOND all created realms. No, you are miles from the truth. You amaze me! GOD took on human flesh - and became a man. People could TOUCH Him! (Imagine touching God!) "no man was found" simply because of TIME: Jesus had NOT YET risen from the dead. But after that first search John watched ending in failure, the angels started another search, and over that time, Jesus rose from the dead - so THEN was found worthy.

 

This is far too personal. Please refrain from such in the future or you will be removed from the thread.

Yes, I think you're probably right about this. 

So, there will be no reconciliation or willingness to admit any mistakes on you behalf at all?  Okay then, fine. Continue on your way, fight with the brethern and provoke them - refining them until they join your universe (if you can).  Fill your boots.

I certainly won't be bothering you again. 

I certainly hope you won't, because this is a violation of the terms of service. Doing so again will result in your removal from this thread. Please keep that in mind going forward.

Dear brother, ...please understand I'm not questioning your authority, ...may I ask which paragraph are you referring to as becoming too personal, ...paragraph one or paragraph two?

I'm asking for my personal info so that I don't make the same error.

Thanks,

Primarily the second paragraph.

Hi OtherOne

I think you're being euphemistic, here. Let's look at the post in detail:

Actually, when @Sonshine☀️ says that Satan is behind what Greta is doing all day long, she (it's a she, btw.) links Greta closer to Satan than anybody else. And this is exactly where Sonshine is getting personal in my view. In my opinion, protecting the climate happens to be Greta's No.1 occupation. That's what she does day in day out. And poster Sonshine was referring to it.

It's the same when you would call all music as an act of Satan. I happen to be a musician. When you link all music to Satan, you're linking my professional identity to Satan, too.

Furthermore, her post was in answering whether or not the replies here were “hatred and derision at this poor girl;” - not "at this poor mobement". This post was addressing her as a person, I think.

Sonshine argued that, because Satan was behind what she is doing, remarks against Greta is "the ready-to-fight stane of watching Christians".

That's the post in question LINK.

 

Before, we saw comments like this:

"The kid's [...] silly beyond belief," Click Here .

 

So, Sonshine seems to approve of all this, and this is what I can't understand. We shouldn't go around insulting everyone. Jesus set up clear rules how to deal with people outside the church: Don't judge Mt 7:1.

Sonshine tries to set up a new rule, as it seems. A rule saying that, when Satan seems to be behind what someone is doing, insulting her is perfectly fine. And that's where I think the proble lies.

Let's take Jesus' commandments fully seriously please. Let him be the author of our behavior. Let's avoid new rules - Bible is clear enough and Jesus should be the king.

Sonshine is not the topic of this thread. The subject of this thread is someone who has chosen to become a public figure and therefore open themselves up to public discussion and we are discussion forum.

If you think a topic should be reviewed by our staff or think another member has done something wrong within the thread, please report it, do not debate it openly.

Please refrain from turning other members here into the topic - as the Terms of Service says, debate the subject not the person. This is not-debatable nor is it something I will have an discussion regarding in this thread. I simply ask that you not do it again. Doing so again will result in your removal from the thread.

God bless,

Steve

Do you really believe the intent of that verse was to show the  “capabilities of God ?” The intent was to comfort and give assurance to all that come to Him in the only manner that He will accept ....Through His  Son.To those that do it the Way God demands- HE will see that anything and everything else will be taken care of

 Note to Newbies.....Have you ever heard the term “Accuser of the Brethern?”Some people really seem to relish that role.....They live to sew doubt and take away the assurance that God wants for His Children....Paul  never said to try to convince them of the Truth.....you can't argue with these types.....Paul said to stay away from them.....good advice...Come to Jesus with Faith in His Gospel ALONE and let God do the work in your life He longs to do.......ignore those who are not happy until they find  a way to make every verse  in the Bible sound like you are bound for Hell......God Bless

 

This is straying very close to getting personal. Please refrain from this going forward in this thread or you will be removed from it!

You are not living in reality.  If you look at the reformers and look at the denominations and the people responsible for them, none held to OSAS as you teach, including Calvin.  You may be describing your experience, but mine is the exact opposite.  I haven't seen all the old commentaries, but I know the Matthew Henry Commentary doesn't teach OSAS. 

This is getting a bit personal. Please refrain from comments like this going forward in this thread.

Thanks!

Steve my Brother, I don't wish to disagree with you but I think Frienduff was right to say that. I don't think Frienduff meant it as an insult I believe he was quite serious. And let me add I often don't agree with Frienduff but this time I have to defend him.

You can believe frienduff was right to say that and that's your right, however, according to our rules, he certainly should not have said it. This forum is not intended for members to openly opine on other members' spiritual situation. That's just how it is. We have never allowed and will never allow it. It is part of what gets people banned from threads and gets threads closed and deleted. We respect memberss right to disagree with our rules and our decisions, we just ask that members respect those rules in return.
