why is your religion right?
Well, take the field of psychology. Now I do not have that an advanced degree in psychology, so maybe I am talking a little over my head. Nevertheless, there are many many therapeutic methodologies. Take for instance in some Drug and Alcohol therapies, they focus on bringing the person to... -

why is your religion right?
tagan, the post modern mind has a major issue with the concept of truth, or "Right and wrong." If you start with a materialistic philosophy, then truth is nothing but a chemical reaction in the brain. What makes one chemical reaction better then the other one. In the end, truth is relative... -

Where did the term "saved" come from?
The concept of "saved" comes strait from the scriptures. Deborah13 quoted Ephesians 2:8 and the word "saved" occurs right in that verse. Of course there are many more verses that can be quoted in the scriptures with the word "saved" in it. Other terms in the NT that would related to the... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
I did not see much here that I needed to respond to. You mostly expressed your personal opinions on DeYoung and that you do not like his style, you do not like jokes, you do not like people with theological degrees. OK, fine. The purpose of the link was to assist in defining what is meant by... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
It is hard to see you as "merely" asking a question. You persistently misrepresent the doctrine of Sola Scriptura when you demand that I have a verse for everything I say. The doctrine of Sola Scriptura does not claim that the Bible answers each and every question on greek grammer, science... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txdd67HAI4Y I do not know Kevin DeYoung, but it seems a good sermon or the clearness or perspicuity of scripture. One thing mentioned at about 21 minutes is that the doctrine is opposed to post-modernism. This is very true. -

Perspicuity of Scripture
It would seem to be that this is an issue potentially closer to sola scritpura and not perpiscuity. The doctrine of perpiscuity is about the nature of scripture as having the possibility of being read correctly. It by no means implies that anyone who reads it will get it right. On the other... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
Do you realize that the term "doulos" does indeed imply slavery? There are other terms for servant, such as diaknoia which would not have that implication. -

Perspicuity of Scripture
I think Reba is trying to say that debates are not allowed in this forum. Slave of Jesus, when you disagreed with the OP, I did give a reply to what I thought was your disagreement. I think that is what Reba was cautioning us about. By the way, are you a first year greek student? Interesting... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
No claim to inerrancy was intended on my part. If I made such a claim, that would violate what I was saying in the sola scriptura thread. -

Perspicuity of Scripture
Pizzaguy, I do not believe you are properly addressing the doctrine of the Perpicuity of Scripture. The doctrine does not state that men of great intellect will infallibly and inerrantly interpret scriptures. In fact the doctrine does not speak of men at all, but the nature of Scriptures... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
You really need to understand what the doctrine of sola scriptura actually means. I have seen you do this in another thread. You assume that the doctrine of sola scriptura teaches that scriptures is the only authority. It does not. It teaches that the scriptures are the only innerrant and... -

Perspicuity of Scripture
Yes, sorry for not being here. You understood correctly. My hat is off to you. Salute! More than this, the doctrine of the perpicuity of scriptures does not men all men will understand everything. Neither does it mean that there is no need for the illuminating power of the HS. The history... -

Explaining why many people are stuck on OSAS
Danus, I agree that there is a "grace" issue with those who oppose OSAS. On the other hand, I do think there are a few who speak on OSAS who might go too far and not take a proper view of responsibility. Without responsibility, OSAS is not grace, but license. -

Freewill religion ! - Part 2
You have an erroneous understanding of sola scriptura. You confuse solo scriptura and sola scriptura. -

That was a typo, it should have been "hope" not "home." -

Freewill religion ! - Part 2
Well, I need to ask some questions here. I am not sure that I understand why you are phrasing things the way you do. You stated "for he gave at least some of us free will." Do you actually believe he only gave some free will? Or in your opinion, did he give all men free will? Or are you... -

Freewill religion ! - Part 2
The same form appears in Galatians 1:8-9. It is also a noun there and is translated "Curse." What is interesting about the grammar of the two passages, is that both passages have the verb of being and the predicate use of anathema. Thayer's Lexicon mentions the "hung on the wall" concept of... -

Freewill religion ! - Part 2
Well, something is not clicking somewhere. Why is there such a difference in meaning between the noun and verbal forms in your mind? I know, I know, I should probably read back over your posts, there is probably some clue. In greek grammar (and I know I have forgotten a lot of my grammar)...
