Re: The Reliability of the New Testament
Good morning Morbo, I don't know who these unbelieving skeptics are. Perhaps you could point me to some. The vast majority of critical scholars, believe that the new testament is true to the original manuscripts. Whatever condition we find the gospel of Matthew in, it appears to be consistent with t...

Re: The Reliability of the New Testament
Hey Morbo, He means people who would deny that the Christian scriptures as we have them today can even be trusted to be close to the forms the writings took when they were first written down. Unbelieving skeptics mainly who would scoff at the idea of the modern new testament's fidelity to the manusc...

Re: Hi everyone, and let's give a big hand to theology!
...being interested in theology makes you the most boring kind of nerd there is. Lol, thanks for that. Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoy the interaction. I'm mostly a lurker myself for the past year or so, but I still much appreciate the edification this forum provides. Grace and peace to you.

Re: "God at war: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict" Greg Boyd
Sorry, no I haven't read it. I do greatly admire Greg Boyd, and am looking forward to the release of his new book: The Crucifixion of the Warrior God. There was an Unbelievable? Radio podcast in the last few months in which a young man who has the same view as Boyd on this issue dialogued with anoth...

Re: God's grace and your obedience
Some believe unbelievers will end up in the lake of fire. I believe this to be Biblical. I agree that it's biblical. The disagreement is over the nature of hell after Judgement Day. Is it a place purely for the punishment of those who would not obey the truth—and that's it, without end? Or is this ...

Re: God's grace and your obedience
No Paidion, read the verse again, it says for ever and ever, right there in the english bible—plain as day.Paidion wrote:I wish to point out that the Greek of Revelation 20:10 literally says "into the ages of the ages", not "for ever and ever".

Re: God's grace and your obedience
There is absolutely no room in Scripture for this, This is potentially quite a lazy assertion. 'Classic' view of hell? Infernalism is hardly called the classical view. You've never read any early church fathers teaching directly on or alluding to their understanding of the apokatastasis? Jesus take...

Re: God's grace and your obedience
I wish it were true. But by not believing in eternal hell I think one might end up in hell, for one is not then trusting the depth of the work of Christ completely. Dizerner, restorationism presents hell as where those who don't yet, learn to trust in the depth of the work of Christ completely. gra...

Re: Meaning of Flesh, Romans 7:14-18
Hey Homer, Thanks for your reply... Yeah man, my pleasure. I've enjoyed chiming in more lately. I think too little is made of the significance of Paul's statement "sold to sin" which draws a very sharp distinction. As Adam Clarke noted in his commentary, if Paul simply meant he struggled with sin (I...

Re: Meaning of Flesh, Romans 7:14-18
Hey Homer, In your view that Chapters 6,7, & 8 flow seamlessly. I was wondering how you could possibly reconcile the apparent contradictions in chapters 6 & 7 I just don't see these as any apparent contradictions. Chapter 6 starts out asking the question of "shall we continue in sin," and what follo...
