He's a master of ambiguity. Something about the guy sets off my warning radar, but I can't say exactly what it is. Maybe it's just me.mattrose wrote:I don't think he un-ambiguously does much of anything

Re: The Gospel of John and the trinity
...all that is technically required to call oneself a Trinitarian is a belief that there are 3 (God, Jesus, Spirit) who are unified in some important sense. By this definition, I could comfortably call myself Trinitarian. Yet I find myself reluctant to do so. Mainly this is because formal definitio...

Re: Where Is Everybody?
I still lurk about... but I find that I just don't have the time and energy to post as much these days.
I still appreciate these forums and all the great stuff on The Narrow Path.

Re: Denominations and Divisions in the Church
I agree that the seemingly constant bickering can be tiresome at times. But I also think that it's important to remember that "iron sharpens iron" but in the process always creates friction and often sparks as well. I also wonder at what point do the differences become significant enough that they c...

Re: Introverts & Fellowship
I wonder if the majority of all contributors to the Bible Forum fall into this same category. I think it likely that the demographics of folks who find their way to these forums are pretty cerebral, and that, generally speaking, there is a strong correlation between that and being introverted. My w...

Re: Proof Text for Eventual Restoration
Hi Steve, Likewise any woman, who for some reason cannot restrain herself from groping a man not her husband, has got problems requiring extreme remedies. I can easily avoid such behavior, and I think anyone could, if they wished to. That's not a very accurate depiction of the scripture to which Pai...

Re: Case study #281012
Made in context. In that sort of situation, I could be affected by unfamiliar stressors and influences. I have been celibate for a very long time, have not reproduced, and am disinclined toward my reproducing in the future. The sequence of developments that would lead to my fathering a child, quite...

Re: A question for Steve about Satan and Calvinism
The Gospel message can certainly harden the heart of one who is opposed to it and does not want to hear of it. I have seen it happen. That's a great example of exactly my point. How does God harden the heart? Directly or indirectly? Which do you consider the example you just gave to be, direct or i...

Re: A question for Steve about Satan and Calvinism
Hi Brody, I'm not sure why you have a problem with this, I don't have a particular "problem" with it per se. It's just that, in my opinion, the Pharaoh example is hauled up way too quickly and way too often as a proof text for something that it may not be proving. In my view, very little considerati...
