Well I did have an apology before this caution but since I noticed the offending statement had been removed I I saw no need anymore for the apology: any who had read the offending statement would have read the apology. Well, I forgot that JLB had "preserved" the comment so I will reiterate the...

Now that your team has done its job... I explained that I was talking about the originators who "came up with" this dispensat idea, NOT anyone in this or recent generations and apologized but it wasn't good enough for you all. Bye

I did say "with all due respect", Reba. And this forum is set aside for discussing " topics related to defending or proving the truth of Christian doctrines and theology" whcih I understand as "any accepted system of understanding" or doctrine is fair game. Am I mistaken?

I am just starting this thread and I may abandon it b4 I get to current posts waaaaaay down the road some days from now and I haven't seen Kathi's post to which you refer but even as a heathen (unsaved) person, God tells us that we have in us (I believe, our inheritance of Adam's consumption of...

I just did a quick search of "dispensationalism." What I read there is nothing like what my buddy was relaying to me; but he labeled it with the word. He relayed it to me as some doctrine of the Bible which only the more mature or elite know. Must have been a denominationally decreed bag of...

I have been a Christian for 3 1/2 weeks shy of 40 yrs and never heard of this destiny or allocation difference of believers. Oh, I have read/heard what Jethro discusses but haven't concerned myself because we can't know another Christian's eternal destiny; who the "elect" are with absolute...

My wife was visited several times by a demon. It first came as an old lady who was kind but as she talked to my wife she told her that she didn't need to go to woman's Bible study. i can't remember all of the reasons it gave but it was always friendly. My wife was alone for sveral nights each...

My Christian friend's wife was told by a gnyo that she would NEVER conceive becasue her whole womb was lined with scar tissue from being raped by her father from age 3 up. They were blessed in thier 7th and 16th year of marriage with a healthy boy and girl! Nothing is impossible for God!

allenwynne, I was doing the same thing a few months ago but I didn't get past the foyer. As I entered and progressed through the foyer the apprehensive looks and quick turning away which I received compounded by the pastor doing the same thing as I approached him was nothing I was even ready...

Very Good and True!!! Thank you.

Chopper, What Scripture makes you think that the prodigal was NOT truly repentant and just continuing a past behavior of trickery by cleverly manipulating his father? Interesting that you believe this. If there is no Scripture to support your position it seems to me that someone here on this...

Chopper, then we DO know what was on the mind of the prodigal as SCRIPTURE clearly tells us as I shared.

JLB you put words in my mouth. It seems that you are a very difficult person relationally. I don't see any belief or faith mentioned and neither did I say that. The son knew how he had and was humiliating his father. As I see it, he could have ONLY been hoping for a place of refuge from his...

Reba, it says what you are trying to say even better in Heb 6:4-6. I am very familiar with them, thank you. Over the years I have had them explained in a way which supports OSAS. This thread is soooooooooo loooooooooooooong that i haven't read the first 35 or so pages-I read very slow as over...

That makes me think of the shepherd and the staff, used to retrieve a sheep/lamb from liniment danger. Jesus is said to be our Shepherd. And that leads to one of the sections of SCRIPTURE which supports OSAS- Jn:10:7-30. Jesus calls Himself the "Good Shepherd" and says,"I give them eternal life...
