    What To Make Of Hohn Cho Versus Grace Community Church?

    Solomon was a great counter against my argument. But we have no way of knowing what would have happened if his sin with foreign wives got much worse. If I was advising the church, I'd cleanse his name from anything public. You would not. You made good points, but I'd side with caution.

    Jehovah's Witnesses deny Jesus' promise to the thief: "Today you will be with me in paradise"

    I took my "like" back because, as Josef pointed out and I should have also, Jesus baptism had nothing to do with sin. That is why John didn't want to do it: 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. 14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be...

    What To Make Of Hohn Cho Versus Grace Community Church?

    That would depend on what he begins saying. No predicting today how fallen someone might get. Consider the tactics haters use today. Suppose they leave it up, and he become infamous. If you remove his material then, they will still accuse and smear the church...perhaps even alleging it agrees...

    What To Make Of Hohn Cho Versus Grace Community Church?

    Your DA analogy, the extra work would have caused me to delete them. But Cho may begin saying things that Grace disapproves, and to continue to display his material would associate the church with him. So I think it wise they deleted it. When someone quits their job, they empty his office and...

    Annihilationism, do the Wicked Perish?

    d. The deity of the Son. The deity of the Son was denied in the early Church by the Ebionites and the Alogi, and also by the dynamic Monarchians and the Arians. In the days of the Reformation the Socinians followed their example, and spoke of Jesus as a mere man. The same position is taken by...

    The Origin of Satan and his demons

    You could be right. "Dared not" as its used in the NT elsewhere doesn't arise because of comparative strength. I recalled Peter's comment which seems to refer to the same people, its reference to angelic power, and assumed Michael's action was explained by relative strength. That assumption...

    Annihilationism, do the Wicked Perish?

    No one professes the Trinitarianism you describe. Its obvious you skimmed an article on the subject, and misunderstood even that minor treatment.

    [__ Science __ ] Noahs Flood explained and Evolution refuted.

    I am shocked. Usually you have more going for your argument, and don't misstate what other believe. YE creationists DO NOT consider the variety of eyes, examples of transition from one to another. AND each of these "eye kinds" are very complex, from DNA up. AND it follows God would give each...

    Soul Sleep yes or no?

    Too bad you widened the scope from soul sleep to other things. I will ignore everything but that. While I don't think the dead are "asleep", I wonder if aspects of sleep are true of some. For the righteous, the passage of time until the resurrection may go unnoticed. Yet they are still...

    [__ Science __ ] Noahs Flood explained and Evolution refuted.

    Variety in eyes testifies to a versatile creator, from my point of view. You assume those are transitional, they seem to fit and serve each organism well. They aren't "transitional." Each of those "eyes" fits my argument, they all are complex. How could a single one of them evolve from nothing...

    Jehovah's Witnesses deny Jesus' promise to the thief: "Today you will be with me in paradise"

    Sorry, don't know what "dunked by John to be forgiven" means, or who thought Jesus needed to repent. The other thief was just a mocker.

    Cracker Jack box Trinitarianism? Who believes such odd ideas about the Holy Trinity. What denomination?

    Jehovah's Witnesses deny Jesus' promise to the thief: "Today you will be with me in paradise"

    Neither did I, God alone has immortality. But souls survive physical death. Scripture describes souls under the altar in heaven: 9 When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 10 And they...

    Jehovah's Witnesses deny Jesus' promise to the thief: "Today you will be with me in paradise"

    I'm sorry. Can't see the connection between Christ rewarding the Thief for his faith in Christ at a time when faith was contradicted by everything happening, and loving enemies.

    Annihilationism, do the Wicked Perish?

    Logic is never irrelevant, or silly. Its either "sound" or "unsound". But straw men arguments are silly. Of course Christ wasn't "caught up to third heaven", He's omnipresent God the Son, never ceased being there. He was waiting for the thief, to welcome him after he died. As for Jesus' human...
