Vitamin Pills 'Increase Risk Of Early Death'

[Petronski]

Do you know it is possible to learn ABOUT the contents of a book without reading the book?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Unless you can disprove that "one quote from Paul" by the Scriptures, you are left with the truth of that one quote.

And thousands of others.

[Petronski]

That's what the word of God tells us.

Uh, no. That's the false conclusion drawn by Cauvin.

[Petronski]

Unless you can disprove that "one quote from Paul" by the Scriptures...

It is not about disproving that one quote, it's about considering the Scriptures as a whole, rather than picking and choosing what fits a predetermined conclusion.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Do you know it is possible to learn ABOUT the contents of a book without reading the book?

Yes, we're all aware that's how the RCC instructs its members regarding the Bible.

It's not the best way to understand much of anything.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The “whole of Scripture” proclaims that God “declared the end from the beginning.”

[Petronski]

Yes, we're all aware that's how the RCC instructs its members regarding the Bible.

I know you hate the Roman Catholic Church, but that is no reason slander it and by insinuation all of its members.

[Petronski]

The “whole of Scripture” proclaims that God “declared the end from the beginning.”

It does not.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You said you could understand a book by being told what was in the book rather than reading it for yourself.

I merely noted that your opinion isn't surprising given the fact that this is the exact same way the RCC teaches the Bible.

[Petronski]

CHAPTER 5
THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD IN REPROBATION

Traditions of Men

[Petronski]

...this is the exact same way the RCC teaches the Bible.

It is not. Is there no truth in you at all?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The weight of your lack of Scriptural evidence is overwhelming.

[Petronski]

You said you could understand a book by being told what was in the book rather than reading it for yourself.

That is a bad and self-serving paraphrasing of my words. You seem to bear false witness with every keystroke.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

After you’ve read the chapter we can talk. Until then, as you’ve said, all you know about it is what you’ve heard.

[Petronski]

The weight of your lack of Scriptural evidence is overwhelming.

Again you demand I prove a negative.

[Petronski]

After you’ve read the chapter we can talk.

I will address you whenever you slander Christ's own Church, and at any such other time as I choose.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Your exact words were:

"Do you know it is possible to learn ABOUT the contents of a book without reading the book?"

How is this any different from what I wrote -- "You said you could understand a book by being told what was in the book rather than reading it for yourself."

???

[Dr. Eckleburg]

No, I'm asking for your reason to believe that the Scriptures err when they say God "declared the end from the beginning."

So far, you haven't offered anything to buttress your claim.

[Petronski]

And that really is "the problem" with most of these false doctrines. Their adherents build these huge, edifices on a few misinterpreted verses, and doggedly ignore the whole of scripture.

They read the ICR and such verses of the Bible as Cauvin tells them to read, are baffled by what Cauvin tells them should baffle them, create paradoxes where none exist, (try to) paint God in Cauvin's dark image, bolt shiny "ELECT" vanity plates to their cars and generally sin boldly.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I do not slander Christ's church.

I thank God for Christ's church, and I thank God it is headed not by a man but by the only mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus.
