Same as you, I guess, to see what others would say. It's also very helpful for doing research and gathering statistics.

And thus concludes this round of "Debate until your blue in the face, knowing you'll never convince each other." Thanks for playing.

But our human nature is sinful, the Bible tells us that. So why isn't it natural to kill, which is sin? B/c we instinctively "know" better, b/c the Holy Spirit speaks to all of us, only some of us choose to listen.

I do observe and digest other points of view, but I don't necessarily agree with them. However, observing and digesting them doesn't mean that you CAN'T still dismiss them as "unbelievers", if their views clearly show that they are! I don't have a monopoly on faith, never said I did. Many...

Bang. That sums it all up.

But Jenny, where do these "general" absolutes come from, if not from religion or personal belief? Why are they absolute for everyone? Why can't some kill, b/c they don't consider killing bad b/c they have no absolutes? There has to be SOME basis for these absolutes. It is the law written...

There are other groups who do not allow women to be priests/ministers/clergy, etc... This is also Biblical, though I'm sure there will now be some who will argue that is not the case.

Well gee, scuba, not if YOU don't think it is. At least that's how most of this board thinks, right?

Hey, a woman priest. Great...

If it didn't matter what my answer was, why did you even ask the question? I didn't say everyone would agree, just that I believe my interpretation is correct. You don't think such "absolute" and "rigid opposition" to other's points of view sets a good example of my own deep faith? Why not...

For the record, I believe that my interpretation of the Bible is correct, in that it holds to the teachings of the Bible. I can't speak for the entire DIS community, b/c I don't know the Biblical interpretations of many of its members.

Whose words did I twist, my own? Yours? I'm not sad and bitter. I'm actually joyful and alive, in Christ, and calling an ace an ace and a spade a spade, which many don't like, including you. There is no "my" heaven or "your" heaven, there is only "Heaven". And I WILL most assuredly be...

That's just it - thanks for proving my point. A lot of what other people construe to be "Biblical" is, in fact, just their "ideas." They're not the same. A good many things that people post on here that they say come from the Bible clearly are not, and can be shown to not be Biblical. That's...

Hmmm...so you say it supports it, but also undermines it. According to the Bible itself, it can't do both, b/c the Bible never contradicts itself. That is a key concept/belief about the Bible. If you think it does, you may as well throw the whole thing out, b/c you would never know what to...

No, he did not. I asked him to clarify. I've even summarized what I THINK he said, and just asked him to simply confirm it. I've now just made it very simple and asked him to respond "YES" or "NO" to a clear statement. All of which he has been unwilling or unable to do, claiming that I...

Again, an easy opportunity to answer "Yes" or "No", but you choose to state what you've already stated, which I've already said I wanted clarification on. You are now being cowardly about it. Here's an easy method, let's try this: "The Bible does not support the Trinitarian doctrine"...

Nice. Soda, I think you are too smart for your own good, and I think you get confused by your own mental gymnastics. I never discussed Arianism, consubstantiality, used the Creed or New Advent (whatever New Advent is, Catholic I'm sure) to discuss anything. I asked you 1, and only 1, simple...

Soda, you disappeared? Why are you hesitant to summarize what you said? Why won't you re-state it? If you believe it, and apparently you do, you should have no problem stating it? All I'm looking for is for you to state plainly and summarize it for me. I think you're evading it...
