You have free will to remain a slave to weak and miserable principles that do nothing to suppress your fleshly inclinations. You have free will to believe that your adherence to obsolete ordinances makes you acceptable in God's sight, or "more" acceptable, or whatever, instead of trusting fully...

Um... what? This is ridiculous and borders on heresy. Firstly, where in Scripture does it say that Jesus had long hair? It doesn't! So don't make doctrinal statements with that as a foundation. This idea of "spiritual female" has absolutely no foundation in Scripture, regarding Jesus or anyone...

It was inappropriate of you to complain about an issue in a Bible Discussion Forum thread in a different forum, in a thread intended to share humorous stories and memes. If you have an issue with someone, deal with them in that thread. It's that simple. If they persist in inappropriate behaviour...

Methinks you're missing the point of "Post something funny".

Why would anyone dilute unfermented "wine"? That's silly. Do you think they found the grape juice a bit strong for their liking? Do you think there wasn't enough so they mixed it to make it "go farther"? You can believe whatever you like, but inventing beliefs about what Scripture says is not...

Once again you avoid the issue. You use the accusation as an insult instead of dealing respectfully with those who disagree with you. Your behaviour is reprehensible.

I find it disgusting and reprehensible that you make such accusations against a brother in Christ over a disputable matter.

And so, once again, this discussion devolves into two camps: those who correctly understand that Scripture does not demand complete abstinence, and those who believe that abstinence is so highly recommended that they can't comprehend that "new wine" is anything but fresh grape juice. For the...

In that case, the person's name is Dr. Michael Heiser. He passed away recently, but his website is still active (drmsh.com) and his many videos on YouTube are still available.

Did I say everyone did? No. Does your question imply that nobody else will? Yes.

Are you saying, "Down with China!"? ;)

You give far too much credit to Satan and not enough to God, Who is sovereign and who knows the end from the beginning. Satan is a tool in God's hands; that's it, that's all. He is more powerful than us mere humans, but his power is nothing when compared to the power of Jesus Christ.

You're a nice guy, but you don't read too good. He didn't say anything about people who use or even prefer the KJV, but rather "those who believe the KJV Only propaganda". Psalm 12:7 does not refer to the word of God, but to the people of God mentioned earlier in the Psalm. This is firmly...

Um... yeah. No, I won't be voting. The question is poorly constructed at best, and disregards the Scripture that states, "Instead he [God] is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." The question makes it sound like nobody else will ever believe in...

As I understand it, the Hebrew employs a double entendre, wherein the word for "serpent" also means "brassy" or "shining". Something like that... I don't recall all the details of the teaching, and the book is out on loan.

Well... I hope we agree on all the Scriptures. :) I'm not sure I agree that Satan can appear as an angel of justness and righteousness. The Scripture says he can appear as "an angel of light". The lesson in that class was that we need to be cautious not to add to what Scripture says or...

I know... so many preachers will have to rethink their entire approach! :) Seriously, from my experience, the Church needs more basic exposition and less extrapolation. More application, less eisegesis.

I don't hold that the serpent was a literal member of the animal kingdom. By the context and language, it was more likely an appearance of a "divine being" (spirit, but not God).

It's not ringing a bell, but if I think of the name, I'll post it. Another member may have mentioned this scholar. :)

Good example! Of course, such examples are usually inadequate to convince the brainwashed. :)
