Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Aron,
I’m not sure who you’re yelling at in the above post (I assume it’s me). At any rate, I just don’t see the value in people spending their lives railing about the last church they were in. I...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Ohio,
Again, I agree with the bulk of your post, maybe its entirety. I think the beatdown tactic is counterproductive. I sometimes wonder it’s just because I’m too soft to handle it but actually,...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Aron,
I at first didn’t read your post because it looked long and boring. But I just now did read it and, while long, it wasn’t boring. I don’t disagree with everything you wrote. One comment...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
No need for apology at all. Your “blessed afternoons” vs. “evening beatdowns” displays insight. I didn’t know that about Darby. Believe it or not, I have been the recipient of a few public beatdowns...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Ohio,
About ten years ago my wife and I visited Oldtown Bethlehem, Pa. and sat in the church Zinzendorf planted there. We paid for the tour. The guide told us that Zinzendorf came on Christmas...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
So we talk in code. And I broke your code as you (somewhat :) ) did mine. All three men had great strengths and great weaknesses though Paterno was, imho, undone by subordinates.

Hi, Ohio. I would like to respond obliquely, if you’ll permit. You may read into my response however you wish. As a Hoosier I have had a complicated relationship with a legendary figure here (who...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Nell,
Sorry I didn’t fully contextualize your quote. Your comments above were interesting and helpful. I liked the Benson Phillips quote but I don’t think he was right. I need to muse on it.

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Sunshine, I understand the point you’re making and I was aware that Nell placed the word “church” in quotes. My reaction comes from the fact that, whether or not you agree with Lee’s teaching on the...

Re: Titus Chu spin off-help?
Seriously? So Jesus’ words to Peter following his revelation — “Build my church” — we should just forget? And basically all of Paul’s epistles?
I disagree. The assembly, to use a different word,...

Actually, no need to cancel me, I’m cancelling myself. Goodbye to Ohio, GlorytoGod, and others who at least tried to accommodate other views.

Re: Infallibiliy of the Bible?
You make a good point. All translations err in one way or another. But those errors, usually the result of an ideological bias, are part of the complexity I noted. The ark of the covenant was holy...

Re: Infallibiliy of the Bible?
The Bible has to be inerrant and infallible. Why? Because God could not allow an errant and fallible book about Him to exist. How it’s inerrant and infallible may be quite complex but trust me on...

Re: No Place Like Hell
Paul here is echoing what God said to Job. From one angle this is undeniably true: the creator can do anything he likes with his creation. A puppet-maker can make a dummy with fixed eyes that only...

Re: No Place Like Hell
Mark Twain in his last work let his central character argue, IMO, Twain's argument against Christianity, God, and Hell. How would you answer him from this crucial passage:

Re: No Place Like Hell
Concerning the “fiery Hell” comment, I read between the lines. It’s my gift.
As for the debating bit, touché. You win that point but I’ll be back. You know I will.

Your argument for a fiery Hell is well-taken but why demean the arguments of others as "Dangerous"? Timotheist is giving his view based on what seems to be a lot of study. This isn't...

You are correct. I am recalibrating my thoughts because I mistakenly thought of sheol as merely the grave. I believe I mistook sheol for gehenna. I withdraw my original point to which you objected...
